So Elky and brainwash were flipping on my table after verbally agreeing in the 530$ rebuy yesturday. I do not condone collusion in any form and am glad stars took my complaint seriously.

props to stars for providing a fair site to play on.


Hello XXX,

Thank you for your email. As you are no doubt aware, agreeing in chat to go all-in blind(flipping) in our rebuy events is in violation of our tournament rules. Such agreements violate tournament rule # 9 which states in part... "Poker is an individual (not a team) game. Any action or chat intended to help another player is unethical and is prohibited." This is further reinforced in one of the examples on the prohibited tournament chat examples web page. http://www.pokerstars.com/poker/tournaments/rules/prohibited-tournament-chat/ Example #3 states in part... "Poker is an individual game, not a team sport. Players may not act as a group in any way, nor may a player even suggest or mention such an idea.". 'ElkY' has built up a wealth of tournament experience in both online and brick and mortar card rooms. As such PokerStars considers that 'ElkY' should have been well aware of our rules. After discussions between senior management, the decision has been made to disqualify 'ElkY' from T#200800029. He will forfeit his winnings in that event and all players will move up accordingly. Those players moving up in pay brackets will shortly be credited. Further management discussions are ongoing as to a suitable timeout period from PokerStars for 'ElkY'. This decision process requires input from people who are in different timezones and with it being a weekend this decision is not likely to be made for a few days. Suffice to say that it will be for a minimum of one week. ElkY is an ambassador for PokerStars and should not have acted in this manner. He has been educated as to why his actions were wrong, in order to prevent any repeat occurance. Thank you for reporting this matter and for helping to protect the integrity of our games.

Kind Regards, EdManager,

poor elky, he definetely didnt know

elky is unreal honest and would never cheat knowingly. I certainly would not have thought this was cheating if I were him. It was public knowledge to the table that he was going all in the next hand

its against their TOS, but fuck you you stupid faggot for calling it colluding

i told him it was regarded as colluding on the table, so did many railers.

a cheater is a cheater. im just glad he didn't get away with it because he was team pokerstars.

i really dont care if i ever colluded in a tournament.

AND HERES ONE FOR U;

this doesn't help you at all during rbp's since players will know you are shoving and call you on a much wider range pf and just take your money, and ppl will know there sixes are good instead of having a tough decision

its more like giving money away instead of colluding, colluding is like using vent to help your friend at the table or msn, thats cheating, this is giving your strategy away preflop

im not upset he was reported or punished accordingly. he made a mistake. he didnt know, the second someone said something to him he SNAP APOLOGIZED obviously having no idea what he did was against the TOS of pokerstars

but to go as far as calling it colluding, which is putting elky on the level of RNBALLSACK FAGGOT COCKSUCKER COLLUDER is just atrocious

this has nothing to do with "sucking elkys dick". i fucking know elky, a lot of people here do. we all know how honest he is and how nice he is and he would never knowingly do something like this.

but u then coming here and trying to ruin his more than good name is fucking pathetic u faggot pos. what he did ISNT COLLUDING, fuck that. colluding is what RNBALLSACK DOES

Wobbly,

Did you feel like elky gained an edge by flipping while you were at the table?

You didn't like the fact two people were going allin blind and you could look at your hand before deciding whether to call (btw what was the best hand you folded to their flips!)?




Anyway actually asking for flips has been banned from stars for a good while, and is technically considered colluding. AFAIK almost all decent tournament players feel this is really retarded, but its stars rules so not too much anyone can do about it.

Oh, and after the first time it got banned, someone on P5s came up with the idea to just say 'i like cake' in chat which means lets flips.

Apestyles got banned for a week shortly after, just for declaring his love for puddings in the 100r

i don't get how u guys thinks that an agreement to flip if no one else was in the pot Isn't a clear case of collusion, verbally discussing how to play a hand out with another player is pretty much as clear collusion as it gets.

there is nothing you gain by doing this to Elky whereas he can LOSE a lot. i seriously can't understand--why would you do that? the first thing i would do is warn him to stop, tell him against the rules, and warn him repercussions are very serious. you and i both know he meant no harm in what he did, and that he was simply trying to have a good time....

Because its a somewhat special circumstance due to it being a rebuy period, and they clearly making -ev plays, AND letting the entire table make very +ev plays, thus its somewhat silly to make it out to be as bad as what collusion generally is

i think your attitude about this is the problem wobbly.. i agree what he did is not right but posting it here almost as a brag and saying "a cheater is a cheater" is a bit over the edge about elky...

that being said, i don't think it is incorrect at all for someone in that table to report him in such a high $ tourney... cause even though as a rebuy tourney its implicit that high stakes players are gonna get it in super light, there is a difference between literally knowing that any 2 will go in pf or not every hand

but the complaint ends up being more like "whine, i dont have the money like these guys do to toss around and get sick amount of chips, even though they are giving me the best possible chance to win chips easy," obviously an unfair advantage to the rich

i did tell him what he was doing was collusion.

your right i don't gain anything from this, and he wasn't trying to have a good time by flipping, he was trying to get an artificially boosted stack losing very little ev for after the rebuy period.

He unintentionally did hurt the people not on a table with people flipping.

I dont even know why you guys are backing elky, yes he is a good friend yes ok he is honest yadda yadda yadda. hell i was his fan back when he played war3 and a fan of his poker. But what he did was against the rules and is a clear case of colluding, im just glad stars reacted correctly.

so by your jackass ideals, this is also considered colluding?

its a $2 tournament, obv i care about $2 as much as elky cares about $100, the first hand i see the sb has my favorite football team as his avatar and i dont really wanna play the tournament, so i say "$2 flip?" lets go ai pf, so he minraises and i ship shove just as i said i was going to.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/531136

now i lost the flip, and the tournament, yet im a colluder cuz i wanted to gambool for a stack in a tournament that doesn't mean anything to me?

a gambool is a gambool and well, idk if u realize this but gambling is what we do for a living, some of us more than others, but in the end this game is a gamble.


your so retarded wobbly.

Wobbly - for me personally i wouldn't report anyone who did this, because imo its a stupid rule and you should be allowed to flip. However its obvious Elky just wasn't aware he couldn't verbally agree to flip in chat, because had he known this he obviously wouldn't have attempted it in some hugeass wcoop rebuy where he will have a ton of railbirds, and asshats like you reporting him.

Thats probably why most people woudn't have reported him/cared.

And i'm fairly sure two players better than you going allin blind superdeep in a rebuy period is waaaay more +Ev for you than trying to actually play real poker.

TwistedEcho    United Kingdom. Sep 21 2008 01:30. Posts 3539

Neilly - by stars definition agreeing to flip in rebuys is collusion. Thats what wobbly meant, i don't think he was actually saying elky is some awful cheat or anything

yes it does. some ppl cannot understand this advanced 5th grade concept. they decide to diminish their likelihood of winning money when ppl go allin regardless of their holdings.

if all you care about is stars acting accordingly, why post this? we all know stars acts accordingly, post this on microsoft word and make it your background so you can read it everyday when u get on your computer. dont post it here and tell us about how you did the online community a service.


Baalim   Mexico. Sep 21 2008 01:30. Posts 34286

I changed the title, its misleading.

While Elky did infact break the rules, he openly talked about it, every body in the table knew about it so its not colluding like if he were having a secret discussion in Messenger about how to destroy the table.

Actually since he told that openly he decreased his edge on the table, calling him a cheater isnt right

btw this reminds me of an old ass BW interview where the guys in [gg] and other top pros were trying to classify for KBK but it was like impossible because the koreans were dumping games to each other thus gaining sick unfair points... thus GG adpoted this style and started dumping amongst themselves to classify too and when asked if all players in gg/top players did this, the guy (i dont remember who) said "no, elky is doing it legit"

I dont think anyone cares, he made a mistake and thought it was allowed, and apparently it wasn't so he lost his winnings (as happened to the other mtt regs who got in trouble for this) and he'll get banned from stars for some period of time once they sort the details out.

This could have happened to anyone really who didn't realise it was banned, and was willing to gamble in a rebuy period

Rofl, you were shocked he was punished? So in actuality you sent the email having doubt that anything would actually happen? Do you also picket big corporations with a group of people hoping to change their policies? If you're going to complain, at least have a semblance of appearing righteous.

It may be against the rules, but don't come in here with your altruistic holier-than-thou attitude and not expect to be verbally raped for it.

but yea like mainly, my beef with this situation is, HE WAS IGNORANT, he was INTENTIONALLY increasing everyones chances at that table by taking the -EV side, and he has SO MUCH to lose, in a spot where no one has anything to gain. Seriously like, im suprised anyone even reported him, because frankly i would expect any person that isn't a douchebag goody two shoes, to make him understand that he is infact breaking the rules and he needs to stop OR ELSE he will be reported. Which is indeed much different than saying "AH HA! YOU JSUT BROKE THE RULES GG FAGGOT reported"

Yeah. Starcraft players definetly remember WDT scam.
Then came "making millions with playing poker".So many stupid people actually came here and got ripped by their own Starcraft community. And the only ones making money off the geeks are Nazgul and Meat with this website. Stuntastic!

Wow this is really low ... How can you try to harm someone as nice as Elky ? What about telling him to NOT flip ? And there's a difference between someone who does it on purpose and someone who probably did it just for fun w/o knowing it was against the TOS.

Odds are exactly 50%, either happens or it doesnt

thats retarded, if your dad or brother won first in this tourney and had flipped early you wouldnt report him. everyone has double standards - you were probably beating off while you typed the letter to stars

there has to be balance sure but he broke arguably the dumbest rule on pokerstars without even knowing it and you are in turn risking possibly his sponsorship and at least the 14k or whatever he won

god fuck people who think they are the long arm of the law and have no fucking clue

He wasn't doing it "just for fun" he was doing it to gain an unfair advantage for very lil cost of EV (because someone has agreed to flip with him). I dont care if he is a nice person or not, and I don't believe he doesn't know the rule.

It is a very well known rule for MTT players, and he is a MTT pro for a long long time.

i dont have double standards mate.

i don't have ANYTHING against you which is something a lot of ppl here can't say, but you keep trying to drive this point and its seriously annoying. there is no double standard here--agreeing to go AI blind is colluding only with the strictest interpretations of the rules, and its dumb to get punished for it. THAT SAID, Elky did actually get punished for it even tho he didn't know it was wrong, and you still have to put up a thread that says "Elky caught colluding"? In no way does that reflect his true intent or personality and you are tarnishing his name by spinning his actions with a misleading title for who knows what reason.

this reminds me of the retarded assfaggots on 2p2 NVG forums who constantly shittalk Hevad when they have no clue what they are talking about. not that you are clueless or an assfaggot, but you certainly could have approached this situation with more discretion so you don't come off as someone who hates Elky and wants his rep destroyed.

I really think that in poker, there are often so many times where the ethics of something get a little blurry, and often times people find themselves ignorant of such unethical (or maybe not unethical but against the rules in this situation) situations, where they are simply ignorant. But if we know a player has a good reputation in which case we figure we should give them a break and fair warning before going ahead and taking action against that person.

It sort of reminds me of the mezmerizeplz/adz shit on 2+2 where clay obviously at the time didn't understand what he was doing was unethical. Which pretty soon afterwards realized by himself "that was fucked" but people dont understand that they are like "oh shit hes coloring outside the lines, lynch the nigger". We need to be more responsible for each other as higher stakes players, where we have reputations and SERIOUS consequences that we can face when we are simply ignorant of a situation.

I myself have been in some spots like this, and i'm sure many people have. We just make mistakes sometimes, were human and im sure no one has ever read the entire terms of agreement of pokerstars or any other poker website. But when consequences for minuscule mistakes are so costly, we really need to help each other out and understand things.

Wobbly i hope you know you essentially costed elky ATLEAST whatever money he invested, also you tainted his reputation, and cost him probably more than that. He essentially can't go to work now for a certain period of time. HE IS JOBLESS for whatever time he is banned. gj, i hope you proved your point

fuck the man, lets bring the man down one elky at a time, we all know stars and every other poker site is the devil, lets make sure that they and their team members burn in hell because they get treated differently. everyone knows they get 100% rakeback why not me! WHY GOD

wobbly do you realize how retarded/faggoty you sound?

elky broke the dumbest rule on stars and you get all uppity cause he is basically giving money away and you want to see what happens when you report a stars pro. he was GIVING MONEY AWAY BY GOING ALL IN BLIND.

and we are obviously friends with elky but everyone said this was total bullshit when imperium, annette, charder and a few others got temporary week or month long bans for it. basically every tournament player WISHES THIS WAS LEGAL because it increases your EV by so much. he is gaining no unfair edge. hes just being a sick degen and flushing money down the toilet trying to get a stack taking huge -ev spots to do so. but you report him because for whatever reason you want to see elky burn.

elky has a lot that he can lose over this, dont know why you would revel in being the one to report it.


edit: being 100% honest i would never ever ever ever ever report someone for breaking this "rule". i wouldnt even report people i dislike out of pure spite, and thats saying a lot. if anyone talked to mig nearly as much as i do they would be just as spiteful at the world and would love to spiteban people with these emails. even im not that evil, but i think mig is.


edit2: i have mixed feelings about them taking away elkys money/giving him a temporary ban from the site. on one side, i think it would be unfair to not do it after they already have to annette, imperium and charder. on the other hand, i think its a terrible rule and they should immediately change it because it just loosens tables up and makes things more profitable for the non degens, and also makes poker more fun during a rebuy hour.

I love the lp bandwagon that everyone jumps on...crucifying anyone or anything that they dont approve of, and while stating their opinions like scientific proof of it being correct.

Elky broke the rules (yes he may have not known, tough titties), wobbly perceives this has affected game as this was happening on his table, he told stars, stars took action that they deemed necessary, nuff said?

Yes there may be clashing opinions about what's right, what's wrong and what action should be taken, but just acting like wobbly stabbed Elky in the eye while Elky was solving world hunger, is hardly fair.

If you want to bitch and moan about Elky getting punished, flame and berate stars, why do you berate wobbly who mearly just notified stars of this happening.

Im sure if the situation was reversed, you would all be laughing @ wobbly calling him a faggot ass colluder, who should die in a grease fire, while praising Elky for being a genius for doing so.

That's a load of shit, he's still doing this as it gives up some ev in the short term, but in the long run its +ev, is it not?

No, you come across as unintelligent because you just swear rather than convey your point comprehensively, while over emphasizing too much.

So your counter-argument for being called unintelligent is to immediately assume that anyone who disagrees with some opinions you have, is stupid?

Finally, if you haven't yet realised wobbly couldn't careless that this was Elky, he would've done the same for any random person, you sir have nice reading comprehension indeed.

well it is breaking the rules etc but like in a rebuy tournament i would love this to happen on my table so i can get action on hands

no point reporting him just make the most of it the chance of building up a stack before the addon? thinking about oh hes flipping etc prob just distracts you from your game more than anything else...

My girlfriend started blowing me and then she stopped, I went on tilt and donkey punched her.

well a rule is a rule and you have to know it. Simply because you disagree doesn't mean you can ignore it. It's like the law. If you think it's stupid that possession of drugs is illegal you still will get punished if you get caught.

BUT reporting Elky is really low. And bragging on LP.net about is... i cannot decide, either

a) props to you for your courage to stand the heat

b) stupid because you remind me of floofy and his lack of common sense / social skills if you cannot gauge LPs reaction. I think this could be the case, considering OP plays poker all day long, so he could have deficits in this area.

money won is twice as sweet as money earned.

well done



are u serious? if im the only one shoving light i think thats -ev.

but elky has arranged for someone else to shove/call everytime that reduces the ev he loses by ALOT.

that's something I don't like about this forum, someone breaks a rule and gets punished for it, knowing or not knowing he was wrong, who cares it just happened, and then comes the inevitable disgusting "defense" that is so uncalled for and he probably doesn't even want it. Same like the adz/mezmerize thing.

Just leave it as it is, it doesn't matter at all who he is, he did a small mistake and got punished as he should. If the rules get ignored for one reason or another there will be chaos, this is a business where the feel for fairness and trust in the system are extremely important, any hint of double standard is destructive

My work is of high quality, cheap and fast. Pick only two of those though.

lets look at some rough math. if they are indeed allin every hand then everyone else at the table should be going allin also w/ 55+, A9o+, KJo+ as a pretty acceptable range. If this is the case more likely than not someone will be allin with them with a dominating edge every time, so how can it not be -EV for either of them?

Way to be a jealous douchebag, seriously. And I have completely no idea what the fuck u wanted to achieve by making a topic and informing people u reported him. Making u a 'righteous hero of the community', since u report every cheater? lol.

Btw, thinking this is +EV for him ( if it was openly admited on chat on the table ) is just LOL^2. Fuck me, I would be happier then anyone in the tournament if I would have 2 ppl shoving every hand on the table.

they werent all in every hand, when people limped/raised/shoved to them preflop they would fold, and they were 1 position apart so they were prob all in like 50% of hands and shover always shoved late position. And the thing is they are garunteed to be called by a random hand instead of the hands u listed in your range. gambling like this will be slightly -ev but will give u such a HUGE stack that u increase your chance to make FT etcetc.


a analogy babs said in msn to me was that.

imagine there is a fish 1500bb deep (what brainwish was at the first break) on a 6max cash table, when the fish folds i could shove everyhand and u can call every hand to boost out stacks so we are get super deep with the fish and potentially stack him. but obviously this situation will probably never happen, but surely u see the comparison as the pay structure of tournaments favour the top finishers. so by doing this elky and the other guy has a much bigger chance of making the big cashes.

Why would they give this player action in this manner? He didnt agree to flip prior to to the hand being dealt.

If he limp/called allin then wp by him and if he shoved KJ or something expecting to get called then thats a bad play by him.

if you knew exactly how LP.net would react, then respect for not giving a shit and standing to your action and reasoning behind it and trying to argue rationally.

Still it's wrong, that drug analogy of baal and mine pointed it out well: if your friend does drugs, you don't report him, do you? Doesn't even have to be a friend, i would report a complete stranger neither.

The difference here is you thought that the action would affect you personally since you thought going all-in every hand would be +EV for Elky and -EV for you, so that's a reason to do it, but your assumption was wrong, so there is a hole in your argumentation.

I admire Elky a lot. I really do.

That being said, the rule is not meaningless, its true that if one player goes all in every hand its EV- for him to do so, but if he persuades the whole table to go all in every hand, it becomes EV+ for the whole table, if they are above average players. So the rule MUST stay and Elky's account should be suspended for a week like its normal. It is not to "punish" Elky. It is to prevent people from engaging in this behaviour.

Obviously, no sane person, including the PS staff thinks badly of Elky for what he did, but I'd think a lot of people will hate Wobbly and not without good reason.

One very suspicious player 

Rhaegar    Bulgaria. Sep 21 2008 05:43. Posts 2586

Btw, I don't have a problem with Wobbly, as I think he does believe he is correct. But Wobbly, seriously, you need to reconsider your mindset about rules. Rules are for the good of everyone, but they occasionally should be broken for the good of everyone. Actually in Elky's case they shouldn't be broken. But c'mon - weed is harmless and maybe even beneficial to human health (srsly) and cigarettes are legal? How can you report your friend for smoking weed? Some laws are just bad.

You have a thing with them? then dont do them, but dont go spreading and forcing your fucking ignorant blind beliefs in everybody else.

If you decide to live your life in ignorance hiding in rules then that is your choice but if you are going to rat out friends then at least have the fucking decency to question what the fuck you are doing before doing so.

I have a strong sense of living life by the rules,but you Wobby are seeing seeing everything pretty much black and white like your a 7yr old,life is all bout shades of gray so even if this what ElkY did is shady you should tell him or quote the exact rule that states that that is cheating,and leave it at that.

But going so far as to reporting him to Stars and starting a thread on LP and being proud about it thinking you made some kind of a huge leap of helping out humanity is stupid and you should feel like a dipshit.

Yes if it was nutshot or strato or some other "lesser" MTT player you'd probably get less hate,but you acted like a absolute asshole and imo you deserve a ban for this.

Ah, I misread that you'd tell the cops. Well, while I don't majorly disagree with your POV, I think you should reconsider your general attitude in those maters. It doesn't help anyone, least of all you. In fact, you could be much more effective in accomplishing your desired outcome, without pissing off everyone.

lol no i have not changed my opinion.

what bigred000 did is bad because he wasnt flipping vs anyone, so when he does get called he is like 35% dog.

elky is flipping at 50% when called. and is GARRANTEED to be called, aka garrateed to make a big stack.

learn to read posts please.

Well after reading through the whole thread. I think what elky did is wrong and even if he didn't know it he should have got punished(like he did). I don't really think wobbly should have really told to be honest since elky flipping was+ ev for everyone so he should have got it in there too.

I know most people are defending just elky since they are pretty good friends with him. If this was a random they would say something like "bleh stupid rule oh wellz". So I don't really think thats fair to wobbly at all. At the same time I'm sure wobbly didn't just post this so we know he got banned. He wanted all to know that he banned him for whatever reason. So it was like a brag post imo and im not sure what hes bragging about? Either way I agree with whoever posted that rules are supposed to be good for everyone but sometimes they arent. This does sound like a silly rule to be honest.

Deep down I think it was a low move to report him then brag post it. but im 1000% sure u did this on purpose no way u thought this site of all sites was gonna be on your side on this one.

oh man.. I mean, if you wanted to punish elky for not following the rules!!! because you think you lost money because he did not follow the rules, (obviously wrong though) this isnt really that bad of a decision. but then you have the fact that elky is one of the most respected and liked and followed members of the community you yourself is part of. this SHOULD grant him leeway in your eyes, even if that is a double standard, guess what, you act nicer towards people you know than people you don't know. he's not your dad or your brother or even your friend, but being part of the same community as him, benefitting from seeing hands he posts etc, should certainly make you think twice about reporting something like this.

but ok, so you did. fair enough. but then you make the mindboggingly retarded decision to brag about your awesome ability to be a 6 year old tattletaling bitch in the very same community both you and the person affected by this idiocy happen to be part of. seriously, it's like you're the least popular kid in a group of 30, then the most popular kid writes "COCK" on a streetsign and you tell the police and make him have to replace the streetsign or wash it off or whatever and then you brag about having done that the next time your group is assembled.. your actions here show a complete, utter lack of social skills unlike anything I've ever witnessed through an internet forum, it's up there with faking your own death to see how people would respond..

you're not cool just because you're being attacked by a huge group of people, it doesnt make you tough, nor "an individual able to think outside the box" nor "a person who doesnt conform just to conform", in most cases it actually makes you a humongous retard. you're not jesus and we are not the pharisees.

but ok, so you did. fair enough. but then you make the mindboggingly retarded decision to brag about your awesome ability to be a 6 year old tattletaling bitch in the very same community both you and the person affected by this idiocy happen to be part of. seriously, it's like you're the least popular kid in a group of 30, then the most popular kid writes "COCK" on a streetsign and you tell the police and make him have to replace the streetsign or wash it off or whatever and then you brag about having done that the next time your group is assembled.. your actions here show a complete, utter lack of social skills unlike anything I've ever witnessed through an internet forum, it's up there with faking your own death to see how people would respond..

you're not cool just because you're being attacked by a huge group of people, it doesnt make you tough, nor "an individual able to think outside the box" nor "a person who doesnt conform just to conform", in most cases it actually makes you a humongous retard. you're not jesus and we are not the pharisees.

its tilting me that people are assuming that just b/c people (incl myself) disagree with wobly here that we are friends with elky/want to be or that it makes us support elky 100% here somehow..

what wobbly did is complete faggotry even against randoms

stars decision is obviously the right one though, and I honestly have no real opinion on the rule, other than that I understand why it has to be there even if it's retarded in just this one scenario, it just becomes even tougher for stars to discern between "allowed" chat and "not allowed chat" if they allow some forms of flips/chipdump/whatever and not others. the thing is, if wobbly reported a random and didnt post about it, it would be all fine and dandy with all of us. if he reported elky and didnt post about it, we'd just assume it was someone who perceived elky as a random who broke the rules, and it would be all fine and dandy. but now he rats out someone in his own community, someone he himself has benefitted from, and was benefitting from, and brags about it in that very community, and that IS terrible. at least if wobbly was a troll out to piss us off because he's been attacked a lot for his behaviour recently then he could claim some kind of success because well, he succeeded, but he's actually thinking he has done the right thing here and it seems like he wishes to continue posting here..

can some donkament specialist explain why it's a bad rule?

i was at moneymaker's table in this tour and he and another player didn't know about this rule either. Moneymaker asked another player directly to his right if he was willing to flip if it was folded to him when they were in the blinds next hand. Third player asked if that wasn't against the rules and kept open minraising every time they were in the blinds to discourage them from flipping, and the minraising worked. Only one time the minraiser got shoved on by SB w/ Axo rag and moneymaker snap called in BB w/ AQo and original raiser folded.

It definitely EV to go allin every hand in tournaments with a lot of entrants. If it's EV for one player in the field it means the rest of the field loses some EV. A lot of people want to play the rebuys without paying shittons of rebuys so to please the masses, the same masses we all make our money off, stars invented this rule. Of course every good tournament player thinks its a bad rule because they are losing EV from it. Personally I think it's a bad rule as well because if you want to limit your rebuys why not play a freezeout or a rebuy+addon tournament. Anyway at least I can see why stars did it, it's to please 90% of the field which is obviously more important than a few winning players. If fish continue playing on your site the winning players will come too. The rule makes perfect sense for poker as a whole. There's more rules in sport & games created for commercial purposes that might lower the value of the game but in the end are positive for the people who want to make money from it. This rule, by keeping the bad players happy, is thus in essence a good rule for anyone who wants to make money from poker. Stars wouldn't have invented this rule if they didn't think it would attract more bad players to their site. More players is good for us. While I'd rather see this rule removed, once the rule is put in place it is very very important to punish people for breaking it.

Elky broke this rule trying to gain EV. He (likely) did not know about the rule; why would a PS pro break the rules on his own site. But he did gain an advantage by breaking an existing rule , wobbly really is not the only one who reported this, dozens of people emailed stars about it so wobbly played an irrelevant role in this. Someone who reported another player breaking the rules should not receive massive shit for it, nor should he receive praises. In wobblys case I believe he really considers this colluding (which its not - it's simply not knowing the rules) so I don't blame him for reporting it and neither should you. As Elky is not informed about rules, wobbly is not informed about the true effect of going allin every hand. It happens. The post and calling it colluding publically are over the top some shit may be received for this. When you call something colluding you better do some research on it before posting on a forum about it.

It would have been cool if he didn't report him from a community/friends perspective, but this attitude of allowing everything your friends are doing is exactly why so many people do cheat for real, and these people do know the rules usually. This is a minor issue but it happens in a lot of serious cases too such as the multiaccounting tournament regulars. The social checks in the poker community are worthless and this is the lowest level it starts at. The fact that this rule exists simply means it has to be followed and people not following have to be punished, regardless of the rule almost. People should not be given the impression it's ok to break some rules in poker as long as you personally disagree with them. Because this is exactly how people get sucked into believing they can break the rules on all kinds of levels.

Isn't wobby the guy who talked shit about patrick going all in in the last hand of a rebuy with 5/5...calling it stupid and massively -ev? And then...this? I'm so confused.

In either case, fuck the whole ban him from forum thing. That's really too trivial for something like this in the end. I like Milkman's idea. Faggots should have their faggotry beaten out of them imo. And additionally, after reading that last line about telling the parents of a friend smoking weed, I don't see how anyone could disagree.

Can you elaborate on this a bit, why you think it's a bad rule? afaik you can shove all hands you play but planning beforehand with another player is forbidden. "Poker is an individual game, not a team sport. Players may not act as a group in any way, nor may a player even suggest or mention such an idea."

What happens if you go allin every hand and another player takes notice and goes allin every hand as well, without any agreement of some sort, both just looking out for themselves and their own EV. Or a 6 handed situation where the prizepayout is going to go up by a lot, shortstack allins and gets multiple calls, not because they have good hands but to increase the chances of him losing the hand. They are all working together so that the 6th guy loses. Cashgame, 3-handed two good players and 1 fish. The two good players know that if they constantly keep pounding 3-bets and raises on the fish that one of them is going to be taking his money. They work together so that one of them will walk away with the money yet both are looking out for their own EV.

However all these examples are silent agreements. I'm quite sure that if you'd suggest such a thing in the chat you'd receive some sort of punishment for it. It's so hard to define morals within poker. Why do people get flamed for agreeing publically while silent agreements are all over the place. There's an obvious black area, an obvious white area, but the grey area is enormous and I usually try not to judge people for operating within the grey area. So given this, you could choose to allow people to go allin every hand in a rebuy because rebuying is after all what a rebuy is meant for. It's no big deal either way I can see the Pokersite issue with it as well. Within the grey areas rules still have to exist, sometimes sites pull cases into what they believe is the black area sometimes into the white. But that doesn't make it so. Yet breaking rules of things you believe to lay into a grey area still shouldn't be done because it opens the door for people who might have a larger grey area than yourself.

Hey Wobbly,

I would back you up 100% if you live life to follow every rule. What I mean is, any rule that is broken, whether it's in poker or real life, you report. Some people are like that, and that's fine. Reporting Elky in this situation would be 100% correct. But my question to you is, do you live life to meet all the rules? Like... do you file your poker taxes to every single penny? If you didn't, how would it feel if someone else reported you, because you cheating $100 off your taxes?

Also to everyone else, wobbly didn't choose the punishment for Elky, Pokerstars did. I don't know if Wobbly, knew, but if he did, that would be a different story.

So, my words are, if you follow every rule in life, poker, etc..., I will back you up 100%

Here's a video of what this reminds me of. Not a rick roll.

Personally I think that the rule sounds a little silly in the first place but once I read the long post about the logic behind it I suppose it is there for a somewhat good reason. The fact that Elky broke the rule in such an open context obviously shows he didn't really understand it was against the rules/a big deal. This doesn't make me an Elky fan-boy it just means I don't think Elky is stupid enough to break a rule in such an obvious way if he knew about it. The fact that you make a thread attacking Elky's character as a poker player was not appropriate. You easily could have made an objective post like "Rule Broken" and then in the OP stated that Elky broke this rule in the Re-buy and was punished for it. You could then say in your OP that you agreed with the punishment and asked the rest of LP whether they agree or disagree with it. The way you came off in your OP it basically looked like you wanted to wear this moment as some kind of badge of honor -- you were the man, sticking it to the guy who broke the law -- or something along those lines and it kind of makes you look like a dick.

i have no problems with wobbly reporting elky as he seems to have warned elky that it was against the rules and he didn't want this happening on his table (no idea why not though lol).

but this is just douchery: wobbly says: "props to stars for providing a fair site to play on." To actually insinuate that elky is a cheater is pretty low.

I think a lot of people are over-reacting and calling wobbly a huge faggot without good reason.

What he's done and his attitude to this matter is indeed faggoty, but not the ultimate faggotry that is being implied originally by FrinkX and repeated by many others.

Unfortunately for Elky, what he was doing IS against the rules and Nazgul has explained quite logically WHY it is against the rules.

According to Wobbly, which is what makes this unfair imo; Elky and his partner were folding hands whenever some one else limped in or raised/shoved prior to them. This minimises their EV- that they would otherwise be 'donating' the rest of the table had they chosen to call a random shove with 72o anyway. It's not true gambooling what they're doing, they're actually increasing their stack sizes relative to the field and minimising their risk of donating chips to other players by sometimes folding. Even if both Elky and his partner end up spewing tonnes, everyone ELSE on the table ends up with the chips will have an unfair advantage over the rest of the field.

What Nazgul said about how social attitudes and the whole concept of 'owing allegiance' to someone of high stature in the community, I also agree with 100%. You may say it's the 'top bloke' thing to ignore things, because 'on the whole, they have a good heart', but this leniency really does open the door to more ruthless people to come in and start to subtly break rules for their own selfish gains.

Fact is, the rules say what Elky did is wrong, hence it's not a 'shitbloke' thing to tell him what he did is unfair. However, reporting it to Stars is a bit extreme; Wobbly you could have just educated Elky in the chat or PM'd him rather than report him.

The key dif between this poker example and the example Baal gave of your friend smoking weed is, with the poker you (and everyone else) has a stake in the outcome of the tournament. However, if your friend decides to smoke weed, you don't have any vested interest in the matter; telling the cops or his parents etc. that they tried weed is a pretty fucking gay thing to do. You're essentially imposing your own beliefs onto some one else for NO reason. You could argue that you're doing it 'for their own good', in which case I would say that if you truly want to help them, you should confront them directly about it rather than go behind their back and inevitably cause arguments.

Overall wobbly your attitude and approach to this matter has been pretty horrible. You're justified in trying to make Elky do the 'right' thing, but reporting him to stars then announcing it on this forum with your attitude was terrible. I hope you are smart and humble enough to admit that while your cause was just, your actions were socially inappropriate. I'd respect you very much if you could apologise to Elky for the way in which you handled the matter both with Pokerstars and on this forum.

You know the definition of a loser? Someone who tries to bring someone else down. There are countless players flipping at all hours of the day, but you wouldnt give a damn about any of them. You saw an opportunity to tear down a great person, to try and tarnish someones name, and overall just make their life miserable for a brief period of time. You sir, are the definition of loser. You knew it was not Elky's intention to cheat, but rather have fun. However you also knew there was a way to exploit his ignorance and penalize him for it, for no other reason than to see him burn, so you leaped at the opportunity, so proud of yourself that you even decide to make threads about it and brag of your accomplishment. I am glad you are so satisfied with yourself, just as glad as I'll be when you run into one of us on your next table in the future.

It's not true gambooling what they're doing, they're actually increasing their stack sizes relative to the field and minimising their risk of donating chips to other players by sometimes folding. Even if both Elky and his partner end up spewing tonnes, everyone ELSE on the table ends up with the chips will have an unfair advantage over the rest of the field.

What Nazgul said about how social attitudes and the whole concept of 'owing allegiance' to someone of high stature in the community, I also agree with 100%. You may say it's the 'top bloke' thing to ignore things, because 'on the whole, they have a good heart', but this leniency really does open the door to more ruthless people to come in and start to subtly break rules for their own selfish gains.

Fact is, the rules say what Elky did is wrong, hence it's not a 'shitbloke' thing to tell him what he did is unfair. However, reporting it to Stars is a bit extreme; Wobbly you could have just educated Elky in the chat or PM'd him rather than report him.

The key dif between this poker example and the example Baal gave of your friend smoking weed is, with the poker you (and everyone else) has a stake in the outcome of the tournament. However, if your friend decides to smoke weed, you don't have any vested interest in the matter; telling the cops or his parents etc. that they tried weed is a pretty fucking gay thing to do. You're essentially imposing your own beliefs onto some one else for NO reason. You could argue that you're doing it 'for their own good', in which case I would say that if you truly want to help them, you should confront them directly about it rather than go behind their back and inevitably cause arguments.

Overall wobbly your attitude and approach to this matter has been pretty horrible. You're justified in trying to make Elky do the 'right' thing, but reporting him to stars then announcing it on this forum with your attitude was terrible. I hope you are smart and humble enough to admit that while your cause was just, your actions were socially inappropriate. I'd respect you very much if you could apologise to Elky for the way in which you handled the matter both with Pokerstars and on this forum.

edit: shortened for being wayyyyyyy too long


Agreed 100%. Obviously Elky didn't know it was against the rules and wobbly could've handled this a lot better by simply letting him know in the chat. However a lot of people here are making it sound like he was going allin every hand and just donating chips to all the players, if that was true this thread wouldn't exist. Raszi's analogy of a player shoving any two in a cash game is ridiculous, a better analogy was brought up earlier in the thread; big fish in a cash game w/ a deep stack and two regs who know each other chip dump so that they can cover the fish. If that happened on my table i'd not even wait for the session to finish - i'd report it immediately.

Elky broke the rules. I see no reason why he should not be disqualified.

He should, however, be refunded his rebuys.

And there should be no "timeout period", that's stupid wtf.

How is this +EV to the rest of the table if they only flipped when it was folded to them in a late position? Would suck to sit on their right.

Why report when there is nothing to gain? Were you pissed off because you were sitting in a shitty position in relation to theirs or did you get more money due to you moving up one spot?

I am a NL25 player so take my advice/comments in that perspective

if the rest of the table wanted to flip with them, im sure they are more than happy to do this

Some questions I would like the answers to, so that I can stop reading this at page 4:

1.) what kind of flipping were elky and the other guy doing? How did they go about discussing it, and were they the only players involved?

2.) Wobbly says he said something to elky about it. Did he do this before he sent the email to pokerstars? Did he give elky a chance to stop?

Yeah I just can't fathom why he didn't simply let them know it was against the rules in the chat. Exact same thing happened on my table where Moneymaker asked another player if he wanted to flip the next hand if it was folded to them in the blinds. Third player asked politely if that's not against the rules.

I agree with what pokerdoc88 said. The problem i see here is the way woobly approached the situation. If you feel you did good by reporting Elky then fine with you. Just dont come brag about you reported a LP icon and expect to get praised for it.

I think everyone will lose any respect they had for you woobly

elky broke the dumbest rule on stars and you get all uppity cause he is basically giving money away and you want to see what happens when you report a stars pro. he was GIVING MONEY AWAY BY GOING ALL IN BLIND.

and we are obviously friends with elky but everyone said this was total bullshit when imperium, annette, charder and a few others got temporary week or month long bans for it. basically every tournament player WISHES THIS WAS LEGAL because it increases your EV by so much. he is gaining no unfair edge. hes just being a sick degen and flushing money down the toilet trying to get a stack taking huge -ev spots to do so. but you report him because for whatever reason you want to see elky burn.




Firstly, that isn't completely what the rule is about. It affects the play in future hands because players have already discussed how they will be playing in said future hands.

Also, every tournament player wishes this was legal, as long as they are on the table with one of the players who are doing this. Every other player in the tournament is at an unfair disadvantage.

it doesn't matter if other players on ur table end up with more chips than u. the point is, you are now deep and a better player, so u get all those chips back and become huge.

I think a lot of people are having a problem with Wobbly because his explanation amounts to "a rule is a rule and I don't actually use my brain to think about what I'm doing first" while at the same time it's fucking doubtful that he lives life that perfectly like a saint following every rule or law (did he ever speed while driving? etc) and this makes him a huge hypocrite

Sure elky may not have directly contribute much to this forum, but he indirectly contributed the world to LP. AFAIK he was the very first one to get into poker, and it was he who got rek, naz, meat, etc all into poker... which then started LP and made it into what it is today.

Few simple points, as Travis, Nazgul and some others pointed out most important things already.

1) If the want to flip, go ahead, join a heads-up table and flip whatever you want. Or get a fucking coin in the air.

2) I they're doing this while being completely aware of it being -EV (sick point btw Mr. Daut), why do they care to actually make things like fold some hands in case there's some action? To gain some ev, obviously.

3) So they take some actions together, ie. one of them decides whether his hand and previous action make it good to shove, while having in mind that if he shoves, someone is going all-in with any two. Even if their actions prove to be -EV (ie. they end up owning themeselves) - they are clearly colluding.

4) Reporting things like that is essential to having good, clean community, where newcomers don't feel like they're being cheated out of their money (even if they're not), and it decreases the gray area. Like, let's say they didn't announce this to other players, would it be collusion? I guess you'd say it would. Now they do announce this, however - the change may (I'm not sure) not be that important, so they end up with an edge anyways. Now it's not colluding, because they clearly stated, that they are going to fuck you in the ass?

And as with most things - do as the rules say, if you break them don't be surprised you are punished, and don't hate on someone pointing out your behavior to authorities. Most of the time this works just fine, and grass annalogy is completely off here.

It definitely EV to go allin every hand in tournaments with a lot of entrants. If it's EV for one player in the field it means the rest of the field loses some EV. A lot of people want to play the rebuys without paying shittons of rebuys so to please the masses, the same masses we all make our money off, stars invented this rule. Of course every good tournament player thinks its a bad rule because they are losing EV from it. Personally I think it's a bad rule as well because if you want to limit your rebuys why not play a freezeout or a rebuy+addon tournament. Anyway at least I can see why stars did it, it's to please 90% of the field which is obviously more important than a few winning players. If fish continue playing on your site the winning players will come too. The rule makes perfect sense for poker as a whole. There's more rules in sport & games created for commercial purposes that might lower the value of the game but in the end are positive for the people who want to make money from it. This rule, by keeping the bad players happy, is thus in essence a good rule for anyone who wants to make money from poker. Stars wouldn't have invented this rule if they didn't think it would attract more bad players to their site. More players is good for us. While I'd rather see this rule removed, once the rule is put in place it is very very important to punish people for breaking it.

Elky broke this rule trying to gain EV. He (likely) did not know about the rule; why would a PS pro break the rules on his own site. But he did gain an advantage by breaking an existing rule , wobbly really is not the only one who reported this, dozens of people emailed stars about it so wobbly played an irrelevant role in this. Someone who reported another player breaking the rules should not receive massive shit for it, nor should he receive praises. In wobblys case I believe he really considers this colluding (which its not - it's simply not knowing the rules) so I don't blame him for reporting it and neither should you. As Elky is not informed about rules, wobbly is not informed about the true effect of going allin every hand. It happens. The post and calling it colluding publically are over the top some shit may be received for this. When you call something colluding you better do some research on it before posting on a forum about it.

It would have been cool if he didn't report him from a community/friends perspective, but this attitude of allowing everything your friends are doing is exactly why so many people do cheat for real, and these people do know the rules usually. This is a minor issue but it happens in a lot of serious cases too such as the multiaccounting tournament regulars. The social checks in the poker community are worthless and this is the lowest level it starts at. The fact that this rule exists simply means it has to be followed and people not following have to be punished, regardless of the rule almost. People should not be given the impression it's ok to break some rules in poker as long as you personally disagree with them. Because this is exactly how people get sucked into believing they can break the rules on all kinds of levels.



I think although what you said about stupid rules like these ones needing to exist is true, there's still a lot of gray area about the necessity of reporting every case. For example, speeding is a rule that definitely needs to exist (or else everyone would be driving superfast and cause lots more accidents etc), but if wobbly was in a car with his family, and his dad was speeding by a few miles, do you think he would call the cops and report his dad? No, and that makes him a huge hypocrite.

Elky has for the most part been way ahead of the new teamliquid microstakes followers, myself included. Has he EVER sat at my table? nope, has any of my money ever made it to his pocket? I highly doubt it. Elky shared his passion with others who shared his starcraft passion, and he helped Rekrul, Giyom (Grrr), Meat, Naz, etc... get to where they are. Elky has done way more for this community, and he never would have "ripped people off"

Then you say "You ever wonder how many people have lost their money or whatever because of this?" Don't you even understand what gambling is? Especially poker, people believe they have an edge and can make money, but they consistently lose it. That's how every single winning poker player makes money, rich ignorant people play and lose money to pay for professional poker players rent, health insurance, strippers, alcohol, cars, etc...

Personally I like elky, even though I am not sure I know him that well despite having chatted with him many times.

But he has ripped the community off before, WDT. Though he was probably just going with the flow - but still - he didn't do something about it and that's his fault.

and fwiw reporting anyone for doing this is just........how to say......stupid.

if i have someone just dumping chips over and over again with random hands i celebrate, not email stars and complain. i just do not see the logic behind this. if it is indeed some form of collusion or cheating, why get upset if it benefits you? and there is no way in hell you can be serious about the lack of understand how it does benefit you; you are a pro, for christ's sakes.

i am not a starcraft or BW player and i know little to nothing of teamliquid and LP's roots, and i fail to see how elky's hero status is relevant when discussing the slime ball, tattle tale, snitch logic of this. the OP actually takes pride in ratting out friends.

mysoul....i don't even know where to begin. I'm exactly the kind of person you described, yet LP has made me a winning midstakes player....and i don't even play that much. i would venture that 90% of the people that come here regularly with half a brain ARE winning players because so much information and help is available to beat the games.

you clearly have no idea what you are talking about.


I havent played online poker at all. I dont even intend to play it.

You remind me of "CrownRoyal" who bragged at teamliquid.net how he`s ballin` himself out of control. Some days later he made a blog post here that he has gone broke. 90% winning players? I wont even laugh, because it is sad.

You, yourself, made yourself a winning player. Not anybody else. Im happy for you anyway.

Information is available to anyone who can read. There are tons of poker books, poker schools, poker teachers etc. This whole thing has evolved so much that it isnt even bringing in "the stupid fishes" anymore. Its about "bringing in the stupid ones and actually giving them access to this material" which is of course is provided by tens of poker schooling websites " to make them think they could eventually be a successful players at this game". Some of them are free, some of them not. Probably most of them will be free sooner or later.

Sure you havent seen Elky on your tables. And? This whole thing is a silly pyramid scheme so you all can read how some players play nosebleed stakes with 500k pots like its nothing. One day winning 300k, then losing 350k, then winning 500k, then losing 250k etc. I bet the money comes from nowhere since there are mostly winning players anyway ))

Money comes from recreational and terrible poker players. If you are smart, dedicated and spend alot of time on liquidpoker you will un most cases become a good winning player at atleast small stakes poker. So yeah, you obviously have no clue so just be quiet.

Yeah 90% are the people who cant read probably. Just throw their money away. And while doing that they possibly create their first Paypal account while doing so. All the fun and pleasure to waste in like 10 minutes. And I wonder how these recreational and terrible poker players even came to think about playing online poker? An ad from local newspaper, porn site or passion for Starcraft that turned into "deposit 10 bucks and become a millionaire" ?

All these stupid responds "how does this site makes money". Go and look the thread "How much is liquidpoker.net worth". Every idiot who clicks on those banners,registrates and deposits makes them money.

10-15 people make hundreds of thousands. How many dont make nothing and are in debt? Do you know about that? I think they dont brag about it.

hmm read a good post on 2p2.

I'm so tired of hearing about this ****.

Its a rule. YOU ARE PROFESSIONAL POKER PLAYERS. You are telling me you spend hours a day playing poker, discussing poker, studying poker,etc and don't even know the rules?

No...thats not the problem. You know the rules. Annette broke this rule and was caught...TWICE.

Almost everyone knows this rule is there, but they thinks its stupid or something. It is there to protect honest players. If they allowed this colluding in rebuys would be extremely easy. Do you want collusion running rampant or would you like for stars to enforce a rule that creates a LEVEL PLAYING FIELD.

None of you are stupid. You don't just do things because you feel like it. You do it because you profit from it. If you didn't think flipping in rebuys was +EV would you do it?
NO!

Its provides you an advantage that players who follow the rules don't have.

FYI that is practically the definition of cheating.

I'm sorry, but you don't get to pick and choose which rules are worthy of your following.

by

TheJacob


If i believed elky has just ignorant of this rule i wouldn't have reported him, he's been a pro for soooo long and I just simply can't believe he has never heard about this rule.

I dont know why some people here are saying that im a douche for reporting such an awesome guy who contributed to this community. He doesn't do/contribute to this site nowadays anyway. So what if he helped rekrul/naz/yadda yadda, but they are not the community. Should have just said "Wobbly, you're a douche for ratting out my friend".

I believe he knowingly broke a rule to gain ev and thats why i reported him. the fact that some of you know him to be honest or what ever carries no weight with me.

Fuck social skills this is the internet.

another good post. although i disagree with that point that elky didn't mean harm and was doing this for fun.


I just noticed this thread today, i was at the table with Elky and Brainwash when this happened, i thought it was worth noting that at one point in the chat one of them said something like: when everyone else folds we will do it, or if everyone else folds, something to that extent. That really changes the dynamic of it, makes it alot more like collusion as it basically makes it impossible that them and only them will not end up with enormous stacks. No one else asked and i highly doubt they would be excluded from it if they had, but discussing the flipping in this way seemed to make it worse. At first they were just openly agreeing to go all-in everyhand, then when brainwash had alot of chips i think it was him that said they would only do it when everyone else was out. Futhermore, after the rebuy period was over and while on break, about 15 internet poker notables came in the chat and then informed Ekly and Brainwash that what they had done was illegal and that funds were likely to be confiscated. After that, Elky played a hand where he made a loose call on the river and explained that he did it to "give chips back" or maybe because he wasnt gonna be able to keep any winnings. It ultimatly changed the dynamic of it for the other players at the table. I busted the next hand where i had AA and Elky made a healthy checkraise on the flop and i was faced with wondering if the entire scandal and the things said in the chat widened his range to where he might be weaker. I also was at at 6 handed table where 2 people had like 10 times the stack i did, which made me less likely to make a big laydown. Im not saying i would have folded otherwise, i probably wouldn't have, but it sucked to have to wonder about these other things that resulted from the whole debacle. I like Elky, ive played with him live, and i respect him, and i know 100% that he didnt mean anything bad by it, it was all in fun. But i did leave the tournament, very early, and with a bitter taste in my mouth. I thought this might shed some light on why they have this rule..I also cant help but wonder it the people that were redistributed money were the ones that had the most equity stolen from them in this instance..
Just my 2 cents..

So Wobbly while you were at the table, how many times did you tell Elky that he should stop that or that you were going to report him?... oh and also please explain why you decided to post it on liquidpoker?

Dude the people aren't faulting you for saying this is wrong because obviously what Elky did was wrong and I wholeheartedly agree with what Pokerstars did here.

The thing people are mad about is that you ratted out someone who is highly respected in this community which is the same community you took a lot out of. They're not berating you for following the rules in this case, but they are berating you because you act like a backstabber with no social skills whatsoever.

This will fall on deaf-ears anyway though because you are so stuck up to ever consider anyone else might be right except you.

I didnt start the flame war, i simply responded to an attack.

I told Elky once, but I was going to report him regardless because I believed he knew the rules and cant claim ignorance. I decided to post this on liquidpoker.net because Elky is a known poster here and a known great tournament player AND also because he is a stars pro that cheated in the game we all love. That is quite big news for this sport, a great player cheating that is.

not everyone understands or agrees with me what elky did is wrong here, and they don't care they just care that i ratted him out, whether he deserved it or not.

I took alot out of the community not Elky, but i guess i could have approached this differently, maybe that tells you abit about my carefactor for how i am perceived online. My only care when i post is that i am gaining or giving someone knowledge in NLHE, not if u wanna socialise with me on the net.

I CBF looking for HH but i said exactly, after brainwash said they dont mean harm.

"what you on about?"
"this is colluding"

And I didnt misbehave in this thread so I don't see a reason to get a ban, unless having a different opinion with the rest of the community is a ban worthy reason.

Personal? are you insane?

first of all you were the guy who banned someone because they thought ADD was a new "fad" thing and not a real condition -_-...

Second i have wobbly on msn and i dont have a thing against him, plus i couldnt care less about elky, he could get a prolapsed anus tomorrow and i wouldnt care, it is no personal at all, it is just that calling Elky a colluder over and over and over after what he has done is crossing the line.

bullshit, show me the example where I banned someone for that reason.

secondly, your reasoning is utter trash considering that what elky did technically is collusion.
