[Colchester Kev]

I dont blame the other guy for playing hardball .... he doesnt know the other fella so whats he meant to do.

The idiot should not register on a heads up table of those stakes in the first place ... wtf was he thinking ?

[Claw75]

sounds like he told him the score before the first hand was dealt.  I'd have given him a break as long as I got my $600 back.

[Rookie (Rodney)]

Yeah, the other guy was bang out of order IMO, if the guy has told you before the first hand it was an accident, and you both sat out while he emailed support i would be more than happy as long as i got my buyin fee back on top.

[Tinsel Town]

I understand Haditall's cautious approach to begin with
but when Cool started begging and time went on I would have been convinced
of his mistake.

 

[Colchester Kev]

how does a $50 player sit at a 5k table by mistake LOL

[Sark79]

100% scumbag.  I hope he goes broke at some point . 

[Ironside]

its a bit of a jump for ihaveitall too his average is 675$ and he is 31k down from the 474 he has played guess he saw this as some eacy money for once

[kinboshi]

Daft mistake to sit at the table in the first place.  Not sure how he managed that, or if it was 100% an accident.

His opponent had every right to be suspicious to start with, but once it became clear that he wasn't trying to angle shoot he could have been more accommodating.  He didn't do anything 'wrong' though...

[Sark79]

It was a daft mistake, but it was a mistake.  He should have been given the fee back and then been happy to let the guy out of it.   I don't think any Blondes would make a guy deal like this,  well I hope none would.  It was a mistake.   I always thought there was some honour in poker, but seeing things like this makes me wonder. 

[kinboshi]

How do you accidentally sit down at a $5K HU table though?  Maybe he was messing about, showing off to his mates or something - not expecting someone else to sit down?  Doesn't make sense to me - but neither does making the mistake legitimately.

[Graham C]

Oh that must really suck for him.  HaditAll could have been more helpful, even if he was sceptical to start with, it was sure pretty convincing when the support got there, if it were me, I'd just accept it so long as I didn't lose out in any way.  Saying that, it's a big boys game this, you don't think about sitting at games you can't afford to sit at, there are even filters on Stars for this sort of thing.

I feel sorry for him, I'd hate to make a mistake like that, I know what it's like to lose a lot of money and it really does make you feel like shit for days.  He's a genuine guy and I hope he sorts himself out from this mistake.

[Ironside]

on stars its easy to make the mistake if your not watching what your doing you click to sit in a game and another game pops up as the lobby is always moving then you dont read the check box

i have sat down in wrong games before never that much though as i use the new sectioned part when signing up to a sng

[Sark79]

I have clicked on the wrong game a few times on the old tribeca software, but I am usually doing 3000 things at once and it was my fault. 

[Longy]

Well firstly what a stupid mistake to register in a $5600 game, i mean you have to get the tourney lobby and the lot on ftp to register its about 4 clicks. Secondly they have filters to stop this ever happening, when i use to play on there the only sng's they used to appear in the lobby were my exact buyin and only the turbo nlhe tournies.

As for the morales of this i agree that in principle he should just ship him the money back minus the fee which ifihaditall should get. In these days of internet poker though you have to be careful as there are so many angle shooters and i would not trust any random person. Once support get there i would sort out the chop but i would play to win if they didn't intervene. Though im not saying it is correct alot of players in IfIhaditall situation would have been even nastier and played on or played even more hardball on the chop.
