Title: A class act! Post by: mikkyT on December 22, 2005, 04:23:05 PM http://groups.google.com/group/rec.gambling.poker/browse_thread/thread/2caee3804e1ba5d0
Quote from: http://groups.google.com/group/rec.gambling.poker/browse_thread/thread/2caee3804e1ba5d0 The other night I was playing in a SNG on one of the new sites, and just for kicks I typed the following in the chat window: "execute command <show_players_hole_cards.scr> -private -me -p107" Then I typed: "Oops, forgot the /" these two guys in the SNG freaked out and would fold everytime I called or raised. They even followed me to another SNG and were warning the other players that I could see their hole cards. 3 people at that table folded to me everytime I raised or called as well. It was freakin hillarious. I was supposed to be funny, but these guys went totally ballistic and freaked out in a major way. They even reported me to support for using cheat commands to see their hole cards. Tillman Title: Re: A class act! Post by: I KNOW IT on December 23, 2005, 06:35:23 AM LOOOOOOOL

Title: Re: A class act! Post by: smithy69 on December 23, 2005, 11:31:38 AM lads dont mean this in a bad way, but if your making people fold because your typing in these hoax commands, surely it is cheating and against what poker is about
if it happened to you, and you didnt know it was a wind up you would be pretty worried, and it could put you off internet poker for good. Title: Re: A class act! Post by: I KNOW IT on December 23, 2005, 11:40:26 AM lads dont mean this in a bad way, but if your making people fold because your typing in these hoax commands, surely it is cheating and against what poker is about Its only speach play in cyberspace :Dif it happened to you, and you didnt know it was a wind up you would be pretty worried, and it could put you off internet poker for good. How many times do we hear " the internet is rigged " but still play. Title: Re: A class act! Post by: smithy69 on December 23, 2005, 11:44:19 AM if i saw what they are writing at a table i would be pretty scared
Title: Re: A class act! Post by: Nem on December 23, 2005, 11:51:01 AM No one can sit at a table, type a command and see or set the cards up smithy.
For future reference ;) ;) ;) Title: Re: A class act! Post by: I KNOW IT on December 23, 2005, 11:58:54 AM if i saw what they are writing at a table i would be pretty scared Dont go to see the new KING KONG movie then, its supposed to be quite scary too. :DTitle: Re: A class act! Post by: smithy69 on December 23, 2005, 12:10:01 PM if you were new to internet poker, and you saw that what would you think
Title: Re: A class act! Post by: smithy69 on December 23, 2005, 12:33:37 PM i didnt mean to sound like i had a stick up my arse but just think its not good for internet poker if this kinda thing happens
Title: Re: A class act! Post by: Scottish Dave on December 23, 2005, 12:57:29 PM There is a program, that allows you to see players mucked hands however, after they have mocked at the showdown!
No idea how to get the program, but i was informed there was one kicking about. I know this isnt cheating as the hand is infact over, when you see the mucked hand, however it does offer valuable hand advice, as to what 2 cards they went to a show down with. Dave Title: Re: A class act! Post by: Bongo on December 23, 2005, 01:01:57 PM Doesn't that program just get the details from the hand history?
You could always look yourself, this program just automates it - much like poker tracker does for stats... Title: Re: A class act! Post by: thetank on December 23, 2005, 04:26:28 PM I laughed when I read the post but agree with smithy.
Doing this will turn new players, who don't understand your joke, away from internet poker. I think it's a little out of order. Title: Re: A class act! Post by: bundle on December 23, 2005, 04:49:11 PM I agree it can be alittle out of order, and is not to be used on a daily basis..BUT there are times when you can use it for fun, like last night nemisis was on a table and there was 2/3 guys all working together. He posted about it and i went to see it for myself. It was well out of order. So there are times when i see it as no harm at all, and a little bit of fear will not do them any harm....
Title: Re: A class act! Post by: lvlarc_uk on December 23, 2005, 05:09:36 PM Lighten up guys,
If someones gullible, stupid to believe that, then I doubt they will do very well playing poker, so turning them away is maybe doing a good thing for them :D Title: Re: A class act! Post by: thetank on December 23, 2005, 05:30:13 PM Lighten up guys, If someones gullible, stupid to believe that, then I doubt they will do very well playing poker, so turning them away is maybe doing a good thing for them :D We want new players and we shouldn't do anything to discourage them from taking up the game. If someone knows nothing about the online poker world then they could be forgiven for thinking that the player was genuinely trying to cheat, not overly gullible for a layman to fall for it. I'm talking about all the players at the table, not just the one involved in the hand. Title: Re: A class act! Post by: I KNOW IT on December 23, 2005, 05:52:11 PM Relax, its only a commercial.
If you want to look deep into everything, im sure you would find something in every little joke or prank. Dont tell me you have not found humour in something that you should nt really. Title: Re: A class act! Post by: thetank on December 23, 2005, 06:04:30 PM Dont tell me you have not found humour in something that you should nt really. I can't... I laughed when I read the post All I'm saying is it's counter productive to the poker economy (on my high 'ho silver' horse now). I felt the need to point that out, lest all the readers on the forum be encouraged to go forth and do similar things without hearing a contrary opinion. Smithy spoke out and I felt the need to back him up lest he come over as a lone killjoy for making a fair point. Title: Re: A class act!

Post by: I KNOW IT on December 23, 2005, 07:14:53 PM Nemesis, next time you play that nasty trick ,please put a :D so they know you are not serious
Oh hang on, then it wont serve its purpose. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D Title: Re: A class act!

Title: Re: A class act! Post by: thetank on December 24, 2005, 02:48:03 PM Why do we want new players, it not like poker is going downhill. That's like saying there's no problem littering the streets if they're always clean. Just because there's been a poker boom for the last few years doesn't mean it will continue that way forever. Waste not, want not. Title: Re: A class act! Post by: lvlarc_uk on December 24, 2005, 03:08:48 PM Difference is littering is illegal, what there doing is just fun.
Title: Re: A class act! Post by: thetank on December 24, 2005, 03:12:06 PM Although the anaology is not perfect on every level I hope you understand the point I was trying to make, Whether you agree/disagree is fo you to decide, but don't dismiss an argument over a technicality.
Title: Re: A class act! Post by: Royal Flush on December 24, 2005, 04:05:21 PM I can't believe anyone is stupid enough to fall for this, if they are then its fair game.
