Disabled chat is so annoying.

[gtrippp]

Sadly a poker site leaned on the side of the player who generates the most rake, I was utterly shocked when that is what I was told in a dispute I had with a poker site. They admitted it was collusion but said the player was a long time member who generates a lot of rake and was only going to give a warning.

The site wouldn't even give me a satellite or a refund so they have lost my rake and support to promote their poker client.

Man, that's sum BS! Not what u said, but what the site said. You should've made a copy of that e-mail and posted it on a bunch of these forums so everybody could see just how shady they were. What site was that!?!
I think the whole disabled chat thing is about ppl not agreeing to call and then check down. I'm wondering if that is against tourney rules, cuz I could swear that I've seen it in live tourneys on TV before. Maybe it was online that I saw it, tho, back before chat was disabled during all-ins, and that's why it's now disabled in those situations. The whole thing this thread was about, tho, was the times when ppl were all-in cuz they had less chips than the blind and/or ante, and when all-in donks kept going all-in every hand, basically holding the chat hostage until they got knocked out or moved to another table. If agreeing to call and check down is against the rules, then they pretty much HAVE to disable the chat during all-ins, altho I do think that just punishing the ppl that do it is a better idea, I know this isn't a perfect world. Thanks a lot to all that responded, and good luck to u all.

Yeah me too, what's the problem with disabled the chat when you are allins? I think it's good that way. It's online and we don't play live. All right!

I was thinking of it but would be just a waste of my time, what would I gain from it? Not going to give out the poker clients name, I still do have the emails but that wouldn't prove anything. My word vs theirs.


A simple solution, when an all-in bet is made players still left to act or involved in the hand chat is blocked. Anything is better then the system most sites have now.
