Online Tourney Question

[Heid]

Hi There

OK, my other half was in a Pot Limit Omaha Tourney on WH tonight, small tourney 34 runners, 5 places paid, I log on to se how he is doing and all hell has broken loose, 4 players in, a player just gone out and small sitting out stack still in; precis of problem:

"his argument was that with someone short stacked sitting out, and another player with a small stack, the large stack players should fold/check, so as to allow the non-sitting out shorrt stack to make it to the money ahead of the sitting out player"

So my other half gets into hand, end result is he has a house against player, and knocks him out, and then mr sitting out gets 5th place, and cash, and mr player was well miffed, and was saying that it is an unwritten law of tournament play that sitters out should get blinded out.

Loads of arguments, threats to knees, challenges to go play in a cash room, lots of testosterone, and general nastiness.

I think thats tantamount to soft play myself, or have I hit a raw nerve? He kept spouting that it wouldn't happen live, but live is very diff from online as we all know

Is everyone following? Sorry if I haven't explained it well, but I wouldn't mind a few opinions.

Sorry if I have made a pig's ear of this post

Well if they were discussing this on the table then they should be Dq'd for collusion.

I trhink my other half mailed the chat to WH Not sure if that will do any good, but yeah agreed on that

I generally find "unwritten" laws don't exist.

If they just folded etc without speaking, then theres nothing anyone can do, but if they're stupid enough to talk about it they deserve to get nothing.....

Just sour grapes.

cheating.

it's a shame sitting out player out places playing player but sitting out player has earned the chips he has and if he was sat in but passing every hand would it change the result?

cheating.

report it
