Cheating at WSEX

I hope you don't get a refund, what does someone skipping the blinds have to do with you losing.......absolutely nothing. Give me a break.

Although I'm not convinced the OP should get his money back, to say that other players not posting blinds while he is posting them has nothing to to with him losing displays a level of ignorance that is truly mind boggling. Player A posts blinds every round, while player B skips blinds an only plays premium hands. Can you really not see that this gives player B a significant advantage?

CORed, what you're not understanding is that profits at the poker table come not from other players, but from the magical chip faeries in the sky.

Seriously, though, I'm really glad I haven't been playing cash games at WPX much. God knows how long it would take a moron like me to notice something like that.


Edit: And they're still not crediting tourny fees back to my acct. That was supposed to have been fixed yesterday.

For [censored] and giggles you could throw in AA, KK, and AK suited.

I would play AKo, QQ, and AQs also. Hmmmm... 6 hands -- played in only 6 positions per orbit -- plus rake back -- any one up for some math?

Please post screennames of abusers

I've been active lately in the 10/20 games at WPEX also. Been lucky enough to be up without rakeback. I haven't noticed the missed blinds players, but if your playing two or more tables or have other apps running, this can easier go unnoticed. I'll be checking PT when I get home.

Whenever I get timed out or sit out, I have to post a full plus dead blind. How do "they" miss a blind free?

Posting how to do it would not be productive, but lets just say if you tried hard enough, you'd figure it out.

I sort of noticed this when i first started playing on wsex a month or so ago. I clicked sit out to go to the bathroom and when i came back I was fairly sure I didn't have to post to sit back in but wasn't 100% sure on that. Thanks for bringing it up so I can keep an eye out.

Anyone who doesn't think this would be a massive advantage for the cheater either doesn't understand the game or has spurious motives for holding such an opinion.


[/ QUOTE ]

An advantage for the cheater? You betcha

The primary reason the OP lost $700? doubtful


Me not understanding the game? quite probable

spurious motives? only me and my buddies at Affliates Local 217 know for sure.

Hi Burris,

We have received several reports from other customers regarding you abusing our software. You are sitting out in order to miss paying the blind and then returning once it has passed you.

We do not tolerate this kind of behaviour at World Poker Exchange and have blocked your account for the time being.

If you wish to discuss the matter further please do make contact with us.

Thanks to the standard overreacting of people, one of you pricks managed to get me banned.

So apparently they are serious about fixing the problem. Unfortunately, I have never knowingly abused this bug and I think its complete [censored] that they would ban me when its obvious from my play that if I even unknowingly took a free blind it certainly wasn't any sort of premeditated move on my part. I've played over 6000 hands this week and time out all the time becasue of software lag, and its inevitable that some of those times I will be about to take the BB.

Feel free to continue your witch hunt for cheaters, but next time try and determine if the person is delibrately cheating or if maybe if was just dumb luck.
