Typing your hand into the chat box.

[Woodsey]

Seen this 3 or 4 times this week already in the DTD sats for the 300, pretty much always happens on or close to the bubble.

A player types his hand into the chat box and then goes all in, its nearly always a player who is shortish stacked. Now of course they may or may not be telling the truth but they usually are from the cards I've seen, they usually have big hands so would want a call right?

I feel this is wrong and pretty bad form, but usually get told to GTFO if I say something in the chat box.

What you reckon? Should I STFU?

There isn't much you can to be quite honest.

I was watching on Tuesday night and saw some guy tell the table he had 44 & KK, twice I am sure he had them as his KK got called (and held). I am not sure what people can suggest, it is generally upto someone else to choose to believe that person, but I think in that situation I would imagine he was getting called with any two as he was that shortstacked.

Well I could grass them to the site, but I thought I would check opinion on here.

Don't think Stars would allow it, which is ultimately the benchmark for online poker.

What is your opinion of it though?

It seems to happen absolute everywhere tbh.

I think when you think about similar situation live when someones shoves UTG and says "aces" - what should happen to their hand? Seems very trivial to think of a solution here?

I've already said I think its wrong, but I don't really know so that is why I'm asking here.

Report them to the site, and let the site deal with it. 

Effectively these people are cheating £300 seats from the poor sods who push KK, say nowt and then get busted by people who wouldn't call if they could see their hand.

This.

I guarentee stars wouldn't allow it and take actions against these players (disqualify them from tournaments, suspend account etc). I would report it to the site.

Yeah that would be me.

[kinboshi]

Longy, confirmed sicko.

I think the person who declared they had KK might be a blonde, but not sure. I was on their table on Tuesday and thought it a little odd.

It shouldn't really be allowed, but I guess there's nothing you can do at the time.  I'm sure there are lots on  Skype or similar on those sats, and wouldn't surprise me at all.

The standard is still pretty terrible though in those sats, with lots having no idea how to play satellite poker.

Hi All,

To confirm we take these matters very seriously, i suggest take a screen shot and nick name of the offending player and mail our support.
We will then get fraud to review the chat and the hand play to establish the severity of the case.
We have in the past sat on the bubble for these events to ensure no wrong doing, if this is necessary again we will take that course of action.
If anyone has further details please mail our support and we will look into it.

Thanks Nick

What happens to players who do this in live games, as aaron mentioned earlier?

Are you able to turn off all chat once a tournament gets to say 1 table from the money or seats (in a sat). I think PokerStars does this (Not got that deep in a MTT there to be 100%)
