Are you sure? It doesn't make sense that a poker site jeapordize their integrity and their livelihood by doing this.

If they did however, your continued play there endorses their actions.

thanks for the HU i'll never play PR now....

DjDaddio just really took it from great to being a joke...

pokerroom should definitely not get a kudos. I've played on pr alot until late. Actually considered it my home site. I've now put my money on stars, where they atleast seem a little concerned. Anyone who has dealt w/ pokerroom and their support (or lack thereof) knows what I mean. They can be very difficult to deal with. Im sure they wont miss my little bit of money but I'm really starting to like stars anyway.

So what what you won, what you're on? How little can I care?

Sure they've got issues... but get a life and just leave the site and get of your horse!

The problem is you feel like the biggest hero ever by now and you're high on it...

THEN LEAVE THE SITE FFS!!!!

I'm not quite sure what your beef with djdaddio's effort to get pokerroom more proactive in preventing collusion and cheating. Why does that bother you so?

Seriously Dreiager, the guy comes on here to give everyone the heads up and you bust his balls for it? This is a poker forum, created for the purpose of bettering our game. If it also aids in the stopping of cheats, then it should be used for that also. Props to DJ for letting everyone know what the deal is. We can all contact PR and find out for ourselves.

Dreiager, STFU, all you are doing is making yourself look suspicious.

If we stayed away from every site that had cheaters, wed have a lot of free time on our hands.

Because it's reached the point where it looks more like a self-promotion tour....

When people see this, and it's not even the first time - get real - leave the site RIGHT away instead!!! GET OUT!!! RUN AS FAST YOU CAN!!!!!

Um.....here on P5's i think he has started a total of 3 threads about PR and collusion. Not exactly spamming.

And why should i leave PR if I only play rings there? Hell if there are colluders on my ring tables I still seem to be able to beat them so while I hope PR is more active about getting rid of them, right now I won't leave the site just because of them.

Hard to walk away from a site that I have played on from the time I started playing online poker. It has all my notes on players I have been playing with for almost 2 years (I play at HP btw, not PR directly). Not to mention the bonuses, rakeback % I have building thru referrals and affiliates. You are saying I should just pack it up and start some place new?

If you KNOW there is cheaters, and it's a problem - you KNOW the site won't solve it.

-GET AWAY at any costs! ffs... even the SITE don't care - what more do you need to leave?

My issue arises from the fact that innocent players have been accused. Congrats on busting cheats, but false accusations are pretty weak.

That is all.

I made this post in response to a post by the mods over at pokerroom. Rodd, Todd, and all If I may, I'd like to analyze the following statement. from the mod's earlier post... We recognize the fact that allowing certain players to change their nickname while under investigation is not a good call. Hence we will try and update our routines to prevent this from happening again. With that said such a name change does not in any way change a player's status, records or profile. While I am gratified that you recognize that it was not a good call, I feel that PR only recognizes that because of the ill light it cast on them. There seems to be little acknowledgement that I, as a player, should have the choice of whether or not to sit with someone I know is a colluder if I see him on a table. It may not matter from your side that his nickname is changed, but it certainly does on ours. Had the needs and rights of the larger population been considered, also innocents in your definition, perhaps the switch would not have been made. This position is not unique to this isolated issue. In Pokerroom's fierce adhesion to the Rule of Privacy, much as in the lesson you seem to have learned by this, it's more about protecting Pokerroom than it is the customer. Having met you as I have, you understand as well as I do how deeply loyal we are to Pokerroom and how greatly we want it to rise to the heights of commericial and WPT success. You and I both want this. However, in the fierce defense of the brand, defense of your customers has been subjugated. It seems to me that self-preservation has become the order of the day. I suspect even at this point, with the many mentions of "forced" nickname changes, that this has something to do with the switch. Keeping secrets to the degree you do only hurts you in the end PR and contributes to the conspiracy theory mentality you have to contend with every day. It's an Iron Curtain, if you understand this American Cold War reference. Having met you, I know you are good people enthusiastic about your brand. But if your brand is more important to you than we are, in the end, you will only have a bunch of empty t-shirts and no one to wear them. Your privacy policies are also exclusive to you. Hollywood Poker freely shares the results of its investigations with those who make reports. Their support department has received high marks from everyone I've spoken to on the subject. There is nothing preventing you from adopting the same level of transparency except your choice not to. If there is some element of Swedish law at work here, I would very much like to hear that. However, I suspect that some of the intransigence on the issue may be cultural: I'm not familiar with Swedish customs. But yours is not a Swedish company, it's an international company, and I think it's fair to say that a majority of your clientelle, the clientelle that makes you a company at all, are accustomed to far higher levels of disclosure. A middle ground has got to be reached.

That's ok, he'd have somebody like me watching his back.

Man, lemme tell ya, you're one tough guy. Not to mention very cool. And very hood.

So going from what you're saying, you wouldnt do anything if you saw someone cheating at your home game or, better yet, taking money from your wallet or off your paycheck right?

You tell him to keep his mouth shut- what do you want him to do, bust a cap in the guy's ass?
