When you're getting a piece of the action you'd be a fool to rock the boat. Therefore you shill for the sites.

I don't know enough details to take a side but it's very disturbing how they can just confiscate your funds (7K). If they want to close someone's account, they should at least return the money to you barring some heinous action on your part.

Are you using SnoopFree?

[/ QUOTE ]

No. I'm unfamiliar with this program, other than what I just learned. The only firewall I am using is in my router, nothing on my pc, in case that means anything.

Do you and your friend always play at the same time? At the same table? In the same tournament? Were both accounts opened from the same computer? Do you play your account on your friend's computer? Does he play on your computer? Have any other friends been banned? Do you use some sort of virtual machine? Do you have some processes with unusual names running on your computer while you play? etc., etc., etc.

I'm not certain when my friend plays. I only speak to him occasionally. We certainly do not coordinate when we play, so it would be impossible that we are always playing at the same time.

I told Logan that I didn't think I had ever sat at the same table with my friend. I later looked at the hand histories on my pc, and found one time in which we sat at the same table, playing for about 40 hands. I don't specifically recall this, which surprises me, but I guess I just didn't notice while playing three tables and doing whatever else I was doing.

I looked at those hand histories to see if we did anything that might have been deemed suspicious. We only both saw the flop on one hand. In that hand, he raised first to act, I reraised him with AKo, and the BB called two bets, and my friend called. The flop came Q-high, I bet, BB called, my friend check-raised me, I called, and the BB called. Turn was a rag, my friend bet, I folded, and he and the BB went to the showdown, splitting the pot with each of them holding KQ.

There were no other hands that we were both involved in. I'm not certain we never sat at the same table other times though, but I don't think we did.

I've never played any tournaments at Party. I don't know if my friend has or not.

We did not open the accounts on the same computer. We spoke on the phone the day we opened the accounts, but we each opened our own accounts. We live about an hour away from each other. I've never logged onto his account from my house, and he doesn't know my password, so he cannot have logged onto my account.

I don't know of anyone else being banned.

I'm not using a virtual machine. I don't think there are any processes running on my machine that would alarm Party. The machine is fairly sparse, and the only program I would typically run while playing would be a browser.

what have they told your friend is the reason they have seized his account?

also, has your friend spoken with them on the phone as well??

This is becoming an interesting mystery. You are obviously far more intelligent than most of the previous first-time posters with locked accounts -- your story hangs together well.

How did Party know the other guy was a friend of yours?

In what languages can you and/or your friend program?

Have you browsed the websites of things on the banned software list, like WinHoldem or Poker Bot Pro?

This is probably a hoax.

I have never dealt with a Party rep who would say:

I have never exchanged emails or talked on the phone with a Party rep who would use poker slang. Just go back and look at how the typical investigations team rep talks about the behavior that a cheater might display during the Tealninja thread--it's all stilted language that emphasizes the word "play" a lot.

They are accusing him of using a bot. The punishment fits the accusation.
