 I did raise my objections but was totally blanked.......this has to be blatant cheating?

[Wardonkey]

What exactly are you objecting to and how is it cheating?

I assume suzanne is objecting to someone saying they have KK in the chat box before going all-in.

I can't see how that is cheating myself. Its up to you whether you believe him or not. If you have aces you are going to call him either way.

I made the same assumption, but I want to know why Suzanne thinks it is cheating.

no this is not cheating...when people announce what they folded when others are still playing the hand...that is cheating

To me this is just pure speech play - he probably had 66 lol

But I believe that on some poker sites, their T & C's state that you are not allowed to talk about your hand while a pot is in progress.

[ifm]

Kev and i do it all the time.........
Keep typing "aces" before every raise, eventually you might get them :S

[Dale]

I find it unlikely that he had had KK anyway. I doubt it made any difference to the way the hand worked out.
I had always believed that you were (only) allowed to talk about your hand in poker when you were heads up.

I guess you could ask their online support for clarification on the rules here and let us know.

[CelticGeezeer]

Yes its cheating.

[boldie]

Yes its cheating.

why? in a live tourney it is considered rude but not cheating why would it be cheating online?

[CelticGeezeer]

Discussing hands while the game is in progress is cheating.

[ifm]

Discussing hands while the game is in progress is cheating.

No it isn't.
I think grosvenor have a rule that if you actually name your own cards it is an offense, but naming anything else is fine.

[gmoneyAK]

no its not cheating. I have done this on occasion and cant see a problem with it.

Also a good one is where its likely players will play the board with a full house to say something along the lines of split pot lol then oush all in with 4 of a kind .

[matt674]

also depends what happened the hand before as well. Many a time people are discussing the cards they were holding in the previous hand while a hand is taking place.

but then there have been occasions where people have said things like that in the chat box before making a move - i always treat it with a pinch of salt anyway - if he really did have kings surely he wants action from the short stack in the big blind.

This is true - all you need to do is check the T&C's of the site you are playing on and if it is the case then report it.
