The fact that SillySal has not cut and pasted the email that she recieved from Full Tilt (which would have taken all of five seconds) does not speak well for her case, especially considering the fact that I pm'd her and suggested she do it (a pm which she ignored despite the fact that I got a read receipt). If I had to hazard a guess I'd say that FT called her out on whatever it was that she was doing in their email to her, and thats why she doesn't want to post it.

Of course, as was just demonstrated, thinking more or less of people because they didn't reply instantly is absurd. Let's remember that the real world doesn't move on internet discussion forum speed.

Re: Fulltilt froze my account with 47 grand in it
 

FTP's terms of service state:
In the event that Full Tilt Poker deems that a player has engaged in fraudulent, unlawful, dishonest or improper activity while playing in our games or tournaments, including without limitation, engaging in any of the activities set forth above or any other game manipulation, or the making of any fraudulent payment, including without limitation, use of a stolen credit card or fraudulent chargeback or money laundering, Full Tilt Poker shall be entitled to take such action as it sees fit, including immediately blocking access to our games and tournaments, terminating the player’s Full Tilt Poker account, seizing all monies held in the relevant Full Tilt Poker "real money account", disclosing such information (including the identity of the player) to banks, credit card companies and/or any person or entity that has the legal right to such information, and/or taking legal action against such player.

So they can take your money and their decision is final? With no evidence? Or evidence that only they get to see? Who in their right mind would want to be subject to this? We want to see some evidence. I will never play on this joke of a site again.

That doesn't mean he has done that yet. He is likely waiting to hear from the mod that he is okay with that.

He doesn't want to suddenly put Mike Haven right into the middle of this mess without even having asked him.

For the FT/Mike Haven side of the story I think that's going to require Mike's approval and for that he kind of needs to actually be online which he likely isn't right now.

Is anyone else bothered by this? If SillySal was in fact guilty of using bots, then FTP's sanction was certainly appropriate. But not disclosing the evidence??

I can see how they may not want to reveal how they can detect bots, or else the people who use them may plug those holes, but not disclosing the evidence, or anything else about the investigation, really evokes images of the Star Chamber.

There needs to be some kind of appeal process or an independent review. Perhaps the aggrieved party and FTP could agree upon an trusted third party, and split the costs of reviewing the evidence and issuing a report, while being sworn to secrecy?

I'm conflicted by situations like this - bots need to be stomped on to preserve the integrity of poker, but there needs to be some due process and an independent review, not faceless security personnel condemning people behind the scenes.

We'll need to see the e-mail from Sal first.
Previously she thought it might have been related to a really bad player she won big from and that maybe the money she won came from a stolen credit-card and ended up looking like potential chip-dumping.

All through this drama she had no idea if she was accused of botting or chip-dumping or what.
Given the length of time for the investigation some of us were kind of assuming they were waiting on some other players' ID's and some charges to clear.

Perhaps FT is accusing her of BOTH botting and chip-dumping and it was a big combination that led to the super-lengthy investigation.
Still, lets just wait to hear from Sal before we start looking at the chip-dumping scenario or whether it could have been botting false-positives or what.

Hopefully she at least has been told SOMETHING about what she supposedly did by now.

Re: Fulltilt froze my account with 47 grand in it
 

Unbelievable!

Why keep 47k in you account while using bots?!
I doesnt make sense.

And we can probably now say that Mr.Gatorade trickered the whole fiasco.

Re: Fulltilt froze my account with 47 grand in it
 

Its pretty obvious that these sites can do whatever the [censored] they want. Look at Absolute.
They cheat, lie about it, and they are still pretty much business as usual. If a site can do this and continue operating with virtually no
visible harm, then all sites recognize that they can pretty much do anything they want without worry. Cheat, lie, steal.....pretty scary.

Meh.
It's a nice thought of course that if you are wrongly accused/convicted you should have some recourse.
but if she's done nothing wrong she shouldn't have to pay a dime if FT suddenly decides to take her money.

However, this really isn't unlike a wrongfully accused murderer of having to pay a ton to some lawyer to prove his innocence. So I guess the idea has merit.
Just feels really icky to me that she should actually have to pay just to get her money back if she indeed is innocent.
But I'm sure she would like SOME of that money back better than none right about now.

In a sense, the murderer already funds the arbitration through the tax system.

Since there's no taxes in this system, there's probably an opportunity for a site (in a free market world) to charge an extra 0.01% rake (or whatever) to cover the costs of funding such an exercise.

If you indeed are innocent I hope you are somehow able to prove it.

go back and read the situation that nlnut was in a few months ago.
Everyone here was convinced they were all bots but I believe he eventually got all his money back.
I'm not sure they officially had convicted him of botting though.

As I recall, I thought he actually did get to talk to them on the phone.
For this much money I think they owe you such a courtesy over the phone even if you did do what they you accuse you of.

What gets me is that they wouldn't even want to talk to her on the phone.
If they think she might be botting or using some kind of software why wouldn't SOME part of their investigation include calling her and asking her what programs she uses when she plays and then FT can see if they can create a false-positive by implementing those very same programs.

IIRC, that exact situation happened with a WPEX player. They closed his account and just KNEW that he was using illegal programs. He gave them whatever he was using...like some AHK bet-pot script or something maybe...and WPEX admitted to being able to re-create the false-positive and so re-opened his account.

Something like that anyway. That WPEX situation happened several months ago and my memory is pretty fuzzy.

Correct me if I am wrong but I cannot imagine they could base their decision on this alone. Do they have further evidence such as being able to detect a certain program being used. Is there the technology to detect this(and if so what took so long to catch it?) as patterns are not enough to conclude botting. What if the players is amazingly disciplined and plays the same way in all circimstances(like a bot would). I would think there are players around who play like bots. HH's and patterns certainly can't be enough. If so, all pokers savants beware.

Re: Fulltilt froze my account with 47 grand in it
 

right. I'm remembering more now.
FT didn't think they were bots and everyone on 2+2 was freaking out at FT and saying, "How can you think that? Just look at their stats."


Anyway, I guess nevermind on using that example as a precedent. I do hope that FT is willing to be open-minded about some sort of appeals process or at least considers participating in ANY kind of a dialogue with sillysal so she has a chance to learn what the hell they think she did and she can defend herself and explain what programs she might think it was that triggered it or something.

Of course this all could have and should have been done at the very beginning...probably even before they froze her funds and took the investigation that direction. But better late than never on admitting that talking to the customer could be helpful for both parties.

It's never 100% certain. And there's always a chance they are wrong. So I think they owe it to the customer to actually listen to whatever explanation she may have to offer.
Unfortunately, she is going to have a tough time offering one if they continue to not tell her a damn thing. She only just now found out that the freeze was related to botting.

Just my opinion on the whole thing. I realize that playing on ANY site is a privilege, but there's a responsibility of sites for FULL DISCLOSURE when confiscating all funds based on an accusation. I'm tired of hearing the excuse "If we released our findings, we would give the bot makers insight into our investigation techniques." I don't believe all of 2+2 (or any other 3rd party) needs to know the facts, but the person that has all their funds being confiscated needs to be given all facts as YOU see them.

Re: Fulltilt froze my account with 47 grand in it
 

Although i do feel sorry for sillysal if she is innocent, and only she truly knows...

I would tend to think that when Full Tilt closes an account and seizes funds they are very sure their was behavior that went against their tos. Also, the way they handled this does not seem unreasonable. The only thing i feel is wrong is that they should have some sort of phone communication and atleast release what they are accusing you of.

One month to investigate whether their was fradulent behavior in 50k account does not seem to bad, although it can be frustrating when you are being accused and they do not release information on the case.

I can't believe how quick some of you are to bash fulltilt and assume they are falsely accusing sal and she is 100 percent innocent.

I absolutely do not think 100% that sal is innocent. I honestly don't know. Only she knows really.

But FT still deserves some significant bashing for how they have handled this and how they are STILL handling this.

They are refusing to acknowledge the possibility that they are not infallible and have yet to even talk to the accused on the phone.

Re: Fulltilt froze my account with 47 grand in it
 

I would think that if one wanted to run a semi-automated bot on a single table then the solution would be to have the bot run on a stand alone computer. The bot technician could enter the relevant flop, hole cards and action on the stand alone bot GUI.
It would be impractical for multi-tabling but undetectable otherwise. Fulltilt could not check the programs running on your stand alone computer. For the record I do not even data mine - i think this is AI data.

Re: Fulltilt froze my account with 47 grand in it
 

We should help Sal prove this if she is innocent. It would benefit all players.

But damn, if they did this to me and I was innocent, I would file suit against them in the State of Virginia, and trust me, the Virginia courts would excercise long arm jurisdiction over them.

Absolutely agree that they should have dialogue with you.
It seems possible that FT is going to tell Mike not to disclose very much of what they tell him because they don't want to reveal too much about their super-secret bot-detection abilities. So they will likely insist that he keep you in the dark as well.

but instead of telling Mike more about what you did so that he can tell us I do think that FT owes you a lot more of an explanation and a dialogue than what they have given you.
WAY WAY WAY more.

If FT determined you were a bot due to your betting patterns then that strikes me as ultra-weird because I don't think such a thing is possible really.
So for them to even SAY that they made this determination via your betting-patterns leaves me questioning their detection procedures.

Re: Fulltilt froze my account with 47 grand in it
 

Hey everyone - Who datamines and collects the HH's of the games at FT? and specifically the games that pokergirlz plays in (not sure of the exact spelling of her online handle)?

Can we collect some of these HH's and see if there is anything unusual or eye-catching in the stats?
Who has played with this player and who has data on her?
