Don't see where scissorme is trolling. If you have evidence post it, you will silence the haters and do the community a service. If you don't feel like posting evidence, please let others carry on with this thread about the Lock Ops series in peace.

You would get your accounts locked. There was a case where this just happened, and the person was asking for advice. Since he was just chip dumping to himself in a HU Table, he got away with a warning and his accounts were unlocked.

i guess i wont get a fair fight here, with tyson being a mod and all plus his stable consists of many of the top winners on merge....of course you will have an issue with anything ive said negative about merge because it affects your bottom line.

This has nothing to do with Tyson being a Mod, and he would be an idiot to try what you are suggesting since he would 99% likely get his accounts locked on Merge. Post your evidence, and Tyson would be happy to say you are right. If you are just going to continue to troll merge and our community, then your posts will be deleted based on the trolling policies of pocketfives.

Which is why I'm sincere when I say provide me with evidence and I'll make sure it gets reviewed. Me being a mod has nothing to do with it. Me backing players matters, but only insomuch as other people cheating deprives me personally and me as a backer of equity. So if anything, I'd say I care more.

I don't even want a fight. It's more than fair, I'm just asking you to provide evidence and not conjecture.

im not conjecturing about this at all and you know it bro, why are you suddenly doing a 180 on your stance when I think your first reply basically confirmed what I am saying when you claim that merge removed the restrictions to let people play from "poker houses" together....which in and of itself is not a problem IF THE FIELDS WERE NOT 200 PLAYERS AT BEST. but thats an entirely separate issue which I'm glad you told me about since I didnt know there was sooooo many "poker houses" that just happen to all play on merge all wanting to play the same games. im sure like everything regarding merge, its just a coincidence too.

hey wacky jackson, you are the only person to reply to any of this bullshit that has remained objective. let me ask you if you think collusion in MTTs with fields below 200 entrants could be effective and/or profitable. just want someone with enough integrity to give their honest thoughts about this instead of hearing the same stable of players and tyson telling me im just butt hurt because i lose to them in the HSMTTs.

Kavilla, if you want to bring this topic up further for discussion, please create a new thread about people playing on the same IP with small field sizes type of discussion as it is unrelated to Lock-Ops.

OK this is a different topic than someone having accounts on 2 skins and entering the same tournament twice on their accounts. Also a completely different subject that what OSM wants, which is to be able to play Lock-Ops on his Lock account while playing other tourneys on another Merge skin at the same time. This issue that OSM wants does not have him playing the same tourney with more than 1 skin at the same time.

With your example, which is unrelated to lock-ops, I do agree that the field sizes should be as large as possible. I could be wrong on this, but AFAIK, stars does allow people from the same IP to enter the same 180 man SNGs, but not a 45 man SNG. I don't know where the cut-off should be, but do agree the smaller it is, the more it will encourage collusion. However, if a site didn't allow this, people would consider just getting air cards for different IPs in the same house. At least now the site itself can see when players are playing on the same table on the same IP in the same tourney and examine those hands. I am not saying that Merge's security does this (nor any sites). In an ideal situation, the only tourneys that people should play on the same IP would be ones with at least 500 people on any site. However, since Merge doesn't have a huge MTT schedule, I can see why they might have their threshold lower even if I don't understand why a site like pokerstars which has a huge amount of MTTs, wouldn't have higher restrictions. Bottom line is though, the smaller the field size, the more likely you will get collusion since 2 or more cheaters can wind up at the same table more frequently.

Anybody confirm that most of these are r&a tournies? I can't seem to get an answer

I was contemplated making a small investment as a glorious return to online poker when i read about this series, but 2+2 seems to indicate quite a bit of payment issues recently and lack of response regarding issues.

FU DOJ, etc.

if you go to the lock op series page and look at the schedule, there are not that many that state rebuy/addon, so one can only assume this to be the case

and ohscissorme, my jibe about free tickets wasn't aimed at you, all i meant in the off the wall language us kiwis use, is that as the free tickets fiasco is only related to feltstars and this series is only on lock, then the players who are using them on merge won't be able to use them in this series!

There was a separate thread on it

it still pops up on the lock client though lol
