Do you trust ongame (pokerroom, hollywood and even daniels fullcontact - Page 4

It is very well known that Irish and some of his friends will play on each other's accounts (they will admit it themselves). Then the next day you will be playing with 3 of them in a 5-handed game and we are supposed to believe that these people who trust each other enough to have full access to accounts with 70k in them are going to play legit.

I have also heard rumblings before of Irish sitting with 2 accounts at the same table but that would have to fall under the "Gossip" category as I have no clue.

Actually thats far from the truth. I used to use pokerroom.com back in the day which was my primary site. I then switched to betonbet for the rake back program and my pokerroom account was closed. Betonbet switched to being part of prima. i did not like the prima network so i went to pokes poker for the rake back. I deposited on the site and went right to work. I played almost only heads up. I tried cashing out most of the roll i had on there and the enxt ting i know my account is blocked with zero explanation. I played almost solely heads up to build up the bankroll and from the limited information they gave me, i told them i didnt know the two players in question, which i dont and i would liek hand histories which they claim they cant provide. How is this just? I have nothing against these individual sites but rather the server they claim to trust. The owner of one of the skins even told me he is not getting just payments from ongame and he fears their reliablility.

Europoker blocked my account 3 months ago and won't tell me the reason why. Luckily I only had $20 in the account at the time.

I still play at the other OnGame skins though.

Why do people play on these fringe sites to begin with? It isn't like non-payout scam-type stuff like this hasn't happened from the beginning. What is the allure of not playing on one of the major sites, is the play that much worse, or is it insane rakeback or bonus-whoring or what? It makes no sense to me why you would put cash on a site that has the potential to do something like this.

I dont understand why any of the emails you show from FCP are relevant if you didnt have any money in that site in the first place. To me its obvious they would block an account that was under suspicion by the network for cheating. They blocked your account before you deposited any money.

Adding all those red herrings to your post doesnt do much for your credibility.

Also the story from the pokespoker "owner" doesnt seam to jive. If those are legit emails I would contact the Ongame network with no middle man. His emails sound alot like a guy trying to delay as much as he can finding any excuse to do so(telling you what you want to hear ). My gut instinct is if those emails he sent you are legit you should worry about that site and that person, not the Ongame network.

Ive never heard of a site not being able to pull up hand historys.

Anyhow good luck if you are a victom if you are not burn in hell.

FWIW, when I used to play through betonbet, I played with Irish a good deal, and everything seemed legit. He's an excellent player, esp SH.

That said, if I were you, I would have cashed out and stopped playing there long ago. You mentioned they barred you from playing at the same table as Lent, as you guys are friends or something. Ok. Then, a few months ago when all the DN worshippers started with their "Daniel lost, he must have been cheated" and then started leveling all kinds of allegations against the players from Wichita. You stepped up to defend alb and others. I think this was correct, as I've played with them and thought they were cool, fair as far I as could tell. Then you mentioned you were friends with one of the guys. These things, coupled with juice DN obviously has on the network should have caused you to cash right there and play elsewhere.

Oh well, you prob wont get your money. That's too bad. Just be a little more paranoid in the future. Good luck.

Ok, I got the back story on this one. At the Empire State Holdem tourney at Turning Stone, I happened to meet ahnuld, Requin, and gildwulf while playing some 4/8 limit. They were all waiting for bigger games and somehow I believe Requin figured out that I was 2p2 and introduced himself and the other guys. Anyway, sometime during the week we ended up donking at a 2/4 table, when "irishcurve" and his friends pulled up seats and started doin the same thing pretty much, except they were huge d-bags about it to us...it really didn't make any sense to me but whatever. Anyway, then irishcurve's girlfriend starts talking [censored] about all of us for some reason and starts using racial slurs (the 3 guys are all jewish IIRC) and thats pretty much it.

I gotta give them props for one joke they pulled though...after we decided to leave they called the floor over, gave him a "texas hold'em rules" card and he brought it over to us at the cage and said "the gentleman over there said you forgot this when you left". I actually thought that was funny...too bad they were such asses in general.
