Typing your hand into the chat box.

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

You have a point, probably nothing actually.

FLOOR!!!!




In a cash game once, i guy who limped and was last to act called the raise saying "If i flop the nuts I'm just going to shove". He did flop the nuts and he did shove causing much hilarity,  but there was some controversy over his hand being dead/alive. I believe you can't declare your hand at the table, certainly not multi way, in most card rooms. Not in the mood to go looking in RROP right now hopefully someone clued up can help out.

Surely, in the above, he hasn't declared his hand,only his intention???

That is why his hand was left live iirc. If he had stated I have QT on the AKJ board it would have been dead. When he jammed as it was on him he made another comment too, I've recalled the incident poorly because it is the only example of someone declaring their hand live that I've witnessed.

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%)

Hi Red

id love to be able to do this but the software doesn't allow.
I know its on the roadmap for development but do not have a date unfortunately.

will keep you informed.

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?

i played last night and didn't see any of this although i have in the past
i do not like it however not sure i would report it
i always think it just makes the player doing it appear weak
if some one is typing in kk before shoving to not get a call what would same player need to call a shove ?
my default line is not to believe 90% of what put into chat box
so am calling quite wide if i have plenty of chips and or other player is very short
the same goes for players who type in "only two more to go we will all get a seats if we slow down etc..." just think makes player seem weak and therefore more likely to shove on with wider holding as can expect a fold
having said all that i was 2 of 41 last night and didn't need to get involved much betwen there and bubble

Twice they showed and they did indeed have what they said, dunno about the other times, maybe they were mates with the guys they were shoving into? I have no idea tbh, I would say nothing and pray for a call.

It was the GTFO type comments I got each time after saying something that pissed me off as much tbh.

Must have been a different table to the one I was on then, as no one mentioned the fact the player had announced he had KK before he shoved on my table.  He got a caller anyway, and the KK held.  He also got lucky with AJ v AQ and somehow managed to hang on and win a seat.

At the time I thought it was a bit of a stupid thing to do, and if it had affected me I might have made a fuss about it.  Next time it happens I will be taking a screen-shot of the table and chat and reporting it.

^ think it was in the feeders yesterday mate.

[aaron1867]

That one kinoboshi me toons was in the final sat. He was incredibly lucky to get a seat, he shoved K6 on button with last 6k, 2 callers, king high wins. Then shoves AJ v AQ and gets there, then tells table he has KK snd before all of that he tells table of 44.

Not sure what I make if it, but don't play sats anyway.

[fatcatstu]

Did he jsut type "KK" and "44" into the chat box?

If so he could well have been on MSn/facebook/whatever else either to someone who is railing him OR more worryingly someone who is on the same table?

No, it wasn't a mistake. He typed "I've got KK - good luck everyone."

But yes, there's nothing stopping people telling others on the same table what they have on Skype or any other IM platform.  It'd be naive to think it doesn't happen a lot.

Ah in that case I hope poker karma comes round and punts him in the baws
