You can rathole at iPoker - there is no need to exploit a software flaw - I have been conducting a short stack experiment the last week or so and leave when I double up - I then get a new table via the waiting list - sometimes it will put me back on a table that I've recently already doubled up on and left.

Er so what exactly?

If a player isn't comfortable playign with 400BB he will either rathole and come back with a full stack or just leave - at least if he comes back you have a shot at getting your stack back..

Well, it wouldn't let me rejoin a table with less money. You mean he did it by selecting the general "join any table of this limit" function?

I just got wiped out at a $5/$10 PLO table.

...

So 1) Should he have his account suspended?
2) Should all the money he won be returned to other players?

I hope so...

You should definetly NOT get any money back in this situation. If you do you are stealing. What should happen is the site should fix the software bug and thank you, maybe give you a small bonus or something and thats it. If you take money from this ratholer you are straight up stealing it. As much as I hate ratholer scumbags, stealing from scumbags doesnt make it much better.

You knew exactly what was happening and you chose to continue playing against the small stack. Why does anyone owe you anything?

I'm not really sure what is meant by "software bug" in this case? If all he did was ask the software for first available table then IMO he is completely innocent of wrongdoing. It's not his fault it sent him back to the same table and failed to enforce the buy-in policy.

If he found some clever trick to bypass such as rebooting his client everytime he changes tables (exploits hypothetical defective implementation) then he deserves a warning to stop doing that. If he did something really nefarious like hacking the poker client with a software debugger then he deserves to be booted but I wouldn't take his money. But that's extremely unlikely and in all probability his only real offense is violating some people's belief that ratholing is wrong.

Does anyone else think it's weird that iPoker cheating investigations are supposedly left to the individual skins? Why should it matter that this guy is Titan and not CDPoker? This is a network problem.

QFT

At the time he "cheated" (left table and returned with a smaller stack), you were aware of what happened. You made the decision to keep playing and you accepted the "cheating" and any further losses.

If you watch someone stack the deck and then you decide to play the deck, you have no right to complain. If you become aware of some sort of cheating after you lose, then you have a right to complain.

i don't see what difference it makes, whether you double up, leave the table, then go shortstack a different table, or do it at the same table.
