OK OK OK – I SURRENDER.

My original post asked whether you agreed with PokerStars stance. The overwhelming agreement is that they handled this well and the most insightful post was that by jbsc7769.

I WAS WRONG – I played by the rules and reported a break in these. SORRY GUYS.

What I find strange is the way some of you guys try to justify it. Henry17 says “There is no reason to assume the player might not have folded anyway”, “something I see once or twice a week” and costing “$4 per email”. What has any of that got to do with it?

Once and for all – there is no dispute the rules were broken. Whether he would have folded anyway is irrelevant. The fact you see it “once or twice a week” does not make it right. PokerStars have issued him a warning and if repeated he will be penalised. Therefore they agree with me. The only issue is whether he should be penalised or warned in the 1st instance. PokerStars say a warning was ok and you guys agree.

I am now happy with it. End of.
