I just saw this post, but I want to point out that this strategy doesn't necessarily mean that the player wanted the afk player to make the money.  If first was a larger prize than second and you were continually folding your hands and giving him chips, he is able to sustain that dynamic by folding to the afk player.  He is able to continue collecting your chips virtually guaranteeing him first place.

I would say this is more likely than the possibility that he was blatantly cheating and wanted his friend or confederate to win. 

The first prize was larger than the second prize and I do understand that beating an afk is easier than beating a real player, but at the time he has 10k chips or something and both the afk and I were getting forced all in by the 150 blinds.  He was going to win first either way.

Hello SkRRJyTC,

Early on in the tournament, MrRoll doubled up against you with a ridiculously bad hand. After that you cursed him out in the chat and folded every hand to have Crosby eliminated first. You have accused MrRoll in that tournament of colluding with Crosby and he replied: “No, I just don't want you to make the money after scolding me like that”. You replied: “I will never play against you again”.

The main question here is whether this play (folding to a sit-out player) is collusive or not. After reviewing the matter internally, we feel this play was not collusive given the situation described above. He targeted you to get you out first and adjusted his play, and could have achieved this with anyone sitting out.

You adjusted your strategy to get Crosby out first and take 2nd place. You adjusted your strategy solely to get Crosby out before getting eliminated yourself. To us this is all perfectly legal play, as we can’t force a player to raise into an a sit-out, just like we can’t force a player to play his good hands like AJ and 99 instead of folding them because they believe to have a better chance of making the money.

For collusion, 2 players have to be working together to gain an unfair advantage over an opponent, so the question is whether Crosby and MrRoll were colluding, and our opinion and conclusion is that they were not.

We hope this satisfies any similar questions and/or concerns.

Thanks and good luck at the tables!

Great! Our PLO community response has been one of our best so far. We're adding a 500 PLO guaranteed with more tourneys on the way shortly.

Our "Hourly 1k Guaranteed Turbos" continue to be a hit as well, and we're having regular cash action

In the 2+2 forum you mentioned a brand new HTML5 client. When's that coming out? I've been playing SP the last few days and the HTML5 client definitely seems better than it did a few months ago, but it doesn't seem all new.

Also, when I check auto-muck in the html5 settings, it still prompts me to muck winning hands every time, which is a drag, either because I have to click no, or I have to wait for it to time out.

Please keep up the work on the html5 client. SP is the only site I can play, since I refuse to run nonfree software.

Ok you have to do something about 7Drag0ns.  It is a bot, everybody knows it, and we've known it for months now.  I don't know whether it's working for the owners or what, but it's ridiculous!

[faiza1990]

WOW... KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

[nostra]

if they take 7Drag0ns offline/ban/whatever it will just come back under a different name and we will have to look for the new one!
bots are good for training your discipline, when you just wanna toss your A6 offsuit against him, you know he's got at least AT
i can't decide what would be the best solution here: for now, knowing this AI player, at least gives me a knowledge what to expect...

[SkRRJyTC]

Im getting an Auth Login error when trying to withdraw from the client.

[FanEagle]

I like it, hope there will be new players coming or it will become boring pretty soon :/

[BitcoinFlush]

There were some cashout issues because of wallet change in our backend. all is solved and withdrawals have been processed

[TheSwede75]

Looking very promising so far. Can't wait for HTML5 client
