SilentJay Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Re: e-sports league - CVG Poker Champions Sure. But there are some things you just don't do. I mean, kicking someone in the balls and taking his wallet is a good way to get a little extra money. But it's not exactly appreciated. I'm putting this on about the same level... :tongue2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Quiet Man Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Re: e-sports league - CVG Poker Champions Well done, Chief! :clap As for the sitout chip-dumping thing - wtf is this league coming to?? Is it not bad enough to have all the sitouts in the first place, without players resorting to these kinda ridiculous tactics, to maybe gain a couple of extra points? How ******* desperate are you, guys?? Geez. Well said! :clap:clap:clap TQM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaF Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 How far is it fair to go with Sit Outs? Ok - I'm quite amazed by the controvesy this has caused - when I was last to act against sit outs and folded, I really didn't for a second consider it could be unreasonble, unsporting, unethical, or at worst downright cheating (chip dumping) - I just though I was playing my cards in a way that maximised my team points - so I'm interested in a snapshot of opinion on PL :ok So the basic question (and I'm going for what was considered the "worst" example tonight): If an active player calls, everyone else folds except the sit out on the Big blind, what do you think if the active player folds post flop to allow the sit out to win the hand? 1) Legitimate Tactic? 2) Within the rules, but unsporting 3) Outside the rules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Re: How far is it fair to go with Sit Outs? There's a number of Sub discussions going on in various threads - I think it's worth moving the discussion here so that it's all in one place :ok (Indded I think I'll move all the posts on it to this thread :ok) The way I've set the poll up too - for whether we should be doing it or not - I suggest we add together the 2nd and third answers to not do it, and just the "legitimate tactic" means it's acceptable..... I did want to seperate views though on unsporting/cheating in the poll to see what people thought.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppie Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Re: Matchday 15 - Team Bikeradar Kings of Poker - Sunday 27th April The intent is not to move these teams up but rather to improve his teams position and thereby increasng his owns teams payout. And what if the sitout belongs to a team who now score more points and so move up the table into a better paid position?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnley Joe Posted April 27, 2008 Author Share Posted April 27, 2008 Re: How far is it fair to go with Sit Outs? Ok it was me that started the conversation I dont have an issue if you dont bet and let a sit out win, although i would not But when you are calling the sitout and then letting him basically have free chips then surely that is dumping and in the scenario tonight he had about 17K in chips so nobody was going to call when everyone else had about 1K To me its dumping PS Did i say dumping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Intensity Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Re: Matchday 15 - Team Bikeradar Kings of Poker - Sunday 27th April I think it's a clever strategy from reshah to be fair' date=' once he's got that big stack[/quote'] Agree with this:ok. Very interesting strategy (also risky to himself as losing chips) and think he's controlled the table very well by doing this. Legitimate strategy - as it's a points game - but I can understand the guys being pissed at being outplayed:lol;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reeshah Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Re: e-sports league - CVG Poker Champions out in 7th not happy! The big chip leader on the final table(due to the fact he had a table full of sit-outs) is folding his hands instead of checking to keep the sit-outs in. i know its not cheating but consider it very unsportsmanlike he will raise when me and the other player are in the blinds(rightly so) but with the sit-outs will call and when the flop comes down instead of checking will fold. Could even say it is chip dumping as he is folding when he should be checking and passing his chips to the sit-outs? perhaps its just me being in a bad mood but it has left a nasty taste in my mouth.:@ So if i just check it down to showdown would you then consider my strategy legitimate? or is the only legitimate play to steal from the sitouts? if i just check it down then i am clearly not trying to take the pot myself so would that classify as illegitimate too?

SilentJay Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Re: e-sports league - CVG Poker Champions Surely the objective is to play your cards in the best way possible to maximise points for your team :unsure If folding gets you the most points' date=' that should be your action. If calling then folding gets you most points, that should be your action? :unsure[/quote'] People who play like this = I'm sure he does it for the good of the team, too.

voiceofjoe Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Re: Matchday 15 - Team Bikeradar Kings of Poker - Sunday 27th April This is what it says on the Pokerroom website: The sole intent has to be to increase combined chances of winning prize money however in this case the sole intent was just to increase personal results (not in the individual tournament, but in the overall leaderboard) :lol:lol:lol I can't believe you publish the definition of Chip Dumping - it reads exactly as Reesah (and yourself by your own admission) was doing then your daft enough to defend it.:loon Explain how on earth he didnt increase the chances of the sitout by giving him some chips !! - :eyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reeshah Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Re: Matchday 15 - Team Bikeradar Kings of Poker - Sunday 27th April Why you were doing it at the final table! btw i seem to remember that you wrote in the chat box something about raising the sitouts because they arnt there... i hate to be technical but since im the accusee of cheating/unsporting behavior id have to say that your comments may be construed as collusion. what do you think?:unsure obviously I wouldnt seriously accuse you of collusion because it would be ridiculous and it happens all the time but its something to think about anyway. :tongue2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnley Joe Posted April 27, 2008 Author Share Posted April 27, 2008 Re: How far is it fair to go with Sit Outs?

Reeshah Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Re: How far is it fair to go with Sit Outs? common sense or not its still collusion in the strictest sense and theres no doubt about that. Im not suggesting that we heavily regulate these things but if we are to control what ppl do with their chips then poker wont be poker anymore. And anyway i wasnt trying to accuse you, i just wanted to put this thing into perspective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are in two different teams and i say "why dont you raise him hes sitting out?" Rees I hope you are a barrister you could defend Bin Laden "Well i did not really tell them to aim for the towers, i said flowers!"

Thats CHIP DUMPING! What do you think his motive is for giving an unknown (presumably) sit out extra chips? Whilst the sit outs are at the table, his fold equity as the biggest stack is significantly larger than when the sit outs have been eliminated - by letting the sit outs win more hands than they should, he's maximising his fold equity and maximising his chances of winning. The Pokerroom definition of chip dumping is in post 20 - the sole reason for doing it for it to be considered chip dumping must be to increase the combined chances of both players winning - that's clearly not the case here - it was done with the sole intent of increasing his own chances of winning.....

GaF Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Re: How far is it fair to go with Sit Outs? In a similar vain - I often fold to short stacks on the bubble in buy in tournaments if I am chip leader, in order to maintain and maximise my fold equity - is that unreasonable? It's exactly the same isn't it? (I think Harrington even discusses it as a legitimate tactic in one of the HoH series) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
