Re: Stars Takes No Action Against Players Cheating In SNG

Don't think the buy is relevant. $11 SNG may be large to him. You think the action should be different if buy in was $1000+ or larger?

Yes. The main thing is that players in a $11 are very likely to be inexperienced newbies. When it happened to me in a $109, the player who did it was pretty bad at poker, so I figured he's likely a newbie. If a regular did it, my reaction would be different.
Also, yes again to punishment being more severe when larger sums of money are involved. We don't treat shoplifters identically to bank robbers in the real world.

So we can't have a table full of experienced $11 SNGers?
I disagree. And what if $10,000 to blow on a tournament is nothing to me and I am inexperienced and I break the rules? Can we then say that no action be taken because I was inexperienced?
THe REAL world response to shoplifting or bankrobbing depends on where and when(in time) that you live. Depending on these variables you could lose life and limb for either.
Besides, your analogy suggests that their rule infractions were INTENTIONAL.
