Extortion/Harassment on PokerStars

[Slappy002]

I'm a little different in my approach to this kind of BS.

I personally don't mind putting up with all sorts of stupid crap and even smiling and encouraging it if it means that it will keep a really bad fish in the game.

There's no way this guy can be playing winning poker and carrying on like he does. Let him be as obnoxious as he wants, even pander to him a little if you can stomach it (no, don't give him money).

Keep the fish happy and at the table.

in b and m casinos, people harass other people more than online. boys will be boys and poker players will be poker poker players. be cool about it. harassment is part of poker - when you're little more experienced, you'll get adjusted. just forget it...

Exactly. A 10k freezeout is the only way to settle these kinds of disputes.

Ok, most people here seem to be in favor of (or at least neutral towards) me carrying through with the "outing". The reply that convinced me is hearing that this same thing has happened to someone else. I agree, it's not a huge deal, but it's not something honest players should have to put up with either. His handle is AznQTboi. Here are the chat logs from the two tables.

Single-Table Sit ‘N Go log:

AznQTboi [observer]: sry guys i'm sending this log to pokerstars
AznQTboi [observer]: too much collusion
AznQTboi [observer]: unless i see the difference in the money in my account
Me: you're a joke
AznQTboi [observer]: hey its cool bro
AznQTboi [observer]: if you didnt collude dont worry
AznQTboi [observer]: if you did, the logs will show it
AznQTboi [observer]: when they see what kinda hands you were playing
AznQTboi [observer]: so if i dont see the difference in payoff
Me [observer]: it's bs you go submitting names because you lose
AznQTboi [observer]: $25
AznQTboi [observer]: dude i saw what jad did
AznQTboi [observer]: he pushed out with no hand to get you chips
AznQTboi [observer]: i'm not blind
AznQTboi [observer]: he did it before too
AznQTboi [observer]: when that other guy was in the game
AznQTboi [observer]: to keep you alive
AznQTboi [observer]: so either send $25
AznQTboi [observer]: or i submit the tournament logs
AznQTboi [observer]: your choice
Me [observer]: I'll save this log to show your extortion



Multi-Table Tourney log (AznQTboi was not even part of this tournament):

AznQTboi [observer]: whats up lucky
AznQTboi [observer]: do a name find on me
AznQTboi [observer]: and come to my table
AznQTboi [observer]: unless you want me to talk about what you did to the whole table youre playing in now
Me: keep up your harassment
WOLF1950: what he do
AznQTboi [observer]: collusion
AznQTboi [observer]: so i'd suggest logging this one
WOLF1950: with who
AznQTboi [observer]: but i wont say who or what or when
AznQTboi [observer]: unless lucky doesnt wanna talk anymore
AznQTboi [observer]: you coming lucky?
AznQTboi [observer]: all they have to do is see if you've ever played in tournaments with him
AznQTboi [observer]: you wanna bet you have?
Me: I'm sure I have, I multi-table and play hundreds of tourneys a month
AznQTboi [observer]: lol
AznQTboi [observer]: hahahahah
AznQTboi [observer]: lets see how many "coincidences" you have ok?
AznQTboi [observer]: either jump into my table
AznQTboi [observer]: or its reported

[suzzer99]

I assume you reported this guy right? This is beyond BS. If you were colluding the course of action is to report you, not demand $25. What a freak. Makes me wonder if this actually works sometimes. Almost sounds like he's trying to recruit fellow colluders or something. I hope Stars does a thorough investigation on this guy and not just send him a warning or ban his chat.

[citanul]

1) I can't believe you outed me like that man

2) The logs will clearly show that you colluded

3) This is total BS.

4) If I don't see $25 in my account . . .

whelp...i just find the nutcase too damn hilarious too get pissed. i would exercise my chat priviledges to the fullest extent. with a grin from ear to ear, i would have a field day with this one. damn, you guys get all the stalkers [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

[Melchiades]

Sad thing is he has probably scared some poor smucks to give him money.
