Do you guys softplay each other in the freerolls or what?

[Swittie]

Yeah, that's what it was, a folding war that I didn't participate in. It wasn't collusion at all, I know that. I was just being an asshole. I apologized already in this thread, but you guys decided not to accept it, I guess. That's fine. If it makes you feel better to jump all over me, continue on.

AS for the folding war to maximize your outcome, do you really believe folding at that stage of the tournament to get one more spot higher up in the money is a good strategy and will maximize your outcome?

did u advanced one more spot? then yeah... u maximized ur outcome ......

No, I advanced about 10 more spots than I would have if I had played like everyone else. You're continuing to put your foot in your mouth, you better stop now.

How may POers do you think are really that good with strategy??

Ok, so we're beating a dead horse, but I want to point out that this is one of those make you or break you moments at PO. We're not the most polite group. Things happen here that will piss you off on multiple fronts, and you need thick skin to survive in this community.

However, the things to also learn is that the ones that will stick around deal with all of it for free money play each other constantly. We know each other's play, and if we don't recognize you, we will assume you're a freeroll donk. Accusing us of collusion only supports this. We also have plenty of n00bs show up and disappear without putting any time into the site, so you'll have to forgive us for not taking you seriously. There are usually at least a few that are playing nice, more than you would realize on first glance.

One other thing, we ARE freeroll donks!! There are a few decent players here, but not that many!! Really good players outgrow freerolls, so clearly if we've been around awhile, that's not us.

Anyways, if you're biggest concert is a forum where people are nice all the time, then there are several others you should check out. If you want to make some money and participate in awesome promotions, then welcome, you're in for a crazy ride.

Finally, a well thought-out response to my immature posts. As for switching to a different forum where people are nicer, no thanks, I kind of like it here. If I get kicked off, so be it, but I'm liking this place more and more each day. Whoever thought up all these promotions and stuff is a true genius and whoever it is who has the knowledge to create the site so that the promos actually work must be both a genius and a workaholic.

This site is awesome, and definitely worth the time and effort.

All hail the mighty Zab. Without him, we would have to find other ways to degen away our days.

Going forward, I'm pretty sure everyone that plays hates everyone else

[sickread23]

LOL... I am about 95% sure I was in this game 5 handed. There was no soft-play. LMAO. I have only seen blatant collusion maybe 1-2 times, and had my suspicions another 1-2. In a a total of 700 games here.

[FrankWhite]

I can only speak for myself and the answer is absolutely not. I would speculate that there is so much terrible play it would be hard to tell between collusion and bad play, anyway.

Fascinating that this thread has generated so much action - all to deny collusion. Honestly, I have not seen any indication of collusion at the PO FRs, but this sort of gives the sense of of "methinks thou dost protest too much"...

We've actually had reports of it in the bovada one, where people can hide behind an anonymous number when they play. You'd be amazed what a scumbag will do for 90 cents.
