  1. Hello whitealroker,

    We have received a complaint regarding some things you said in chat
    at our tables. I have reviewed the chat log and did find some of your
    comments to be inappropriate.

    Our goal at pokerstars is to be a fun place to play, where everyone
    can feel comfortable. Foul language and abuse of other players takes
    away from everyone's enjoyment, and therefore cannot be permitted.

    We must ask you to refrain from using this type of language in the
    future, or we will be forced to remove your chat privileges.

    Please note that you may not be the only one receiving a message such
    as this. When we receive a chat complaint, we review the entire chat
    of all players at the table. Any other offenders at the table were
    also warned or revoked as appropriate to our policies.

    Regards,

    Kate

    eh....MY STATEMENT

    I admit i can be a pain in the ass during MTT tournaments but losing to call stations and people that have been playing for MONTHS and have nothing to show for it bothers me. I just cant say "nh" and move on like other people cause LOSING bothers me. When i get really upset i like to OPEN UP MORE TABLES(LAMEST thing ever Zee...LAMEST) so this keeps me busy playing more hands so i have less time to call people donkeys and losers and call stations and look up their db.

    TWO POINTS TO THIS

    POINT ONE- MAYBE IF POKERSTARS WOULD STOP WORRYING ABOUT MY CHILDEST RANTS AND WORRY ABOUT THE INTERGRITY OF THEIR SITE, THEY BE THE ONES THAT ARE CATCHING THE CHEATERS. They are MORE worried about what a guy is saying in 1.00 tournament then people ripping off other players. Pokerstars biggest problem is they want it to be a FUN place to play. BEEN TELLING SUPPORT FOR A YEAR THEY NEED A REALITY CHECK. ME and ESPECIALLY alot of the bigger name players who spend majority of the money on their site TREAT THIS LIKE WORK. I'M HERE TO WIN MONEY NOT HAVE FUN AND WHEN A DONKEY TAKES MONEY FROM ME I GET ANGRY. Any tournament i enter be it A ONE DOLLAR, TWO DOLLAR, THREE DOLLAR, i expect to WIN and 80% of the time when i LOSE person that beat me got lucky usually making a clueless play.

    POINT TWO- Been alot of posts on this subject of cheating recently, so much so that the editors have been discouraging more. I think this is FIRST real issue on this site people care about and hope they dont discourage us any futher because if anything should be discussed its this.
  2. Yea because you are tapping the fish tank and scaring all the fish away
  3. "ME and ESPECIALLY alot of the bigger name players who spend majority of the money on their site TREAT THIS LIKE WORK. I'M HERE TO WIN MONEY NOT HAVE FUN AND WHEN A DONKEY TAKES MONEY FROM ME I GET ANGRY."

    That doesn't make sense. If you like it when donkeys make bad calls and lose chips to you, don't get angry with them when they get lucky, WHICH IS OUT OF THEIR CONTROL
     
  4. just seems to me i get alot more unlucky then most players, 99% chance thats just in my head but i'm superstitous so 1% gets in there makes me think. My game is suited for micros. i rarely bluff and play agressive with strong hands and get paid more often when i have them. but this post is not about ME its ABOUT HOW stars SUCKS IN TERMS OF WHERE THEIR PRIORITIES ARE.

  5. You need to learn to control your emotions. If you can't, you shouldn't be playing. What is berating going to accomplish? The only thing its going to do, is make YOU more pissed off and start to tilt because most likely the person is going to respond and you will end up being more focused on the chat box then what is going on in the game.
  6. okay WE ARE TOTALLY MISSING THE POINT OF THIS POST. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MY TABLE MANNER, just using it as a metaphor, trying to be cute, not working. this was a OLD warning from a few weeks ago I have already commented on. was just using my warning for chat as a parrellel for Zee's ban for cheating and to make a point that party seems to be catching the cheaters while stars is more worried about what people at there table are saying to each other.

  7. I noticed this...funny post.
  8. It's all random cards guy. Sometimes they are with you, sometimes they are not. It runs in cycles... you are not "unlucky" but just going through the ups & downs of the random cards.

    It sounds like your understanding of the game is good, so relax. If its got you too uptight then try playing a slightly higher or slightly lower dollar amount than you normally do for a change of pace. Or get someone to watch you play and to coach you if you think there may be a leak in your game somewhere/somehow. Other advice:

    1. Don't rant (remember the point of not scaring away the fish)
    2. Don't blame the site (especially PS as its one of the best if not the best imho)

    Good luck to ya.
  9. You don't have to worry about cheaters, since I doubt they play $1 tournaments. If they do, who cares? It's not that much money. They catch cheaters all the time. They take care of emails when people are suspected of cheating, as well as chat issues. Email support then.
  10. whiteal is my hero.
  11. id give my 1$ to a cheater over a legit player in a 1$ tourney anyday, cuz obv if your cheating to win a dollar, you prob really need it...
  12. i laughed. i guess some others forgot their sense of humor today.

    my fave quote:

    ME and ESPECIALLY alot of the bigger name players who spend majority of the money on their site TREAT THIS LIKE WORK.
  13. it has everything to do with your emotions and your rants. quit acting like a child and be happy people call you with garbage and occasionally suck out.

    otherwise visit the post about top 5 excuses for losing poker players "I am unluckier than most" is on there

    gg micro god. grow up
  14. if u would treat this like work, then u would be nice to people that give u money and not berate them, now when u go to store and have no change the lady at the cashier doesnt scream "U SUCK , OMG U ARE NOT GOING TO PULL OUT THAT 10$ BILL, I WANT EXACT AMOUNT U STUPID FOOL"
  15. Wow, please change your profile pic. It's scaring the younger members of this forum.
  16. Get your facts straight and don't make blanket statements. Below is a mssg to me from pokerstars last fall.

    Hello,

    PokerStars has become aware of two players who were working together in our Sit & Go tournaments to the detriment of other players. Some time ago you were involved in at least one tournament with these players and as a result you may have been adversely affected.

    The players' accounts were closed and their funds frozen pending a thorough investigation, which is now complete. In a case such as this it is our policy to confiscate the colluders' winnings or balances and to distribute them to the players affected by their actions in as fair a way as possible. To confirm your credit, log onto your PokerStars account, go to the 'Cashier' screen and click the 'History' button. Your share will be shown as "Credit Purchase", followed by the amount of the credit.

    I regret that we will be unable to answer questions as to how your specific credit amount was calculated. Likewise, we are not at liberty to identify the specific games or players in question. Suffice to say that they have been barred from the site and you will not encounter them again.

    The integrity of the games at PokerStars is of paramount importance to us and we will not abide cheating or collusion in our games. We work hard to police our games and prevent such instances. In the rare cases where collusion has actually occurred, we make sure that any players affected are compensated appropriately. Our apologies for the delay in distributing compensation in this case.

    Thank you for your continued play here on PokerStars. Please do not hesitate to let us know any time we can be of help.

    Best Regards,

  17. I hate you whiteal.
  18. I love seeing messages like this one Csage. Post more people! I want to feel safe again...
  19. not sure what i did for you to call me a donkey, but i can play worse..........lol not sure it was even me.........
  20. Listen Llama Boy. You are not a big name player......get over yourself........TARGET----WOW! Might have left that off the BIO.

    Drugs Rock!
  21. players name was casino red or casinored. again whole point of this post is not about my tournament play or fact i lose my temper it just seems to me pokerstars too worried about what people are saying to each other and NOT WORRIED enough about people ripping off other people. AND THIS IS A PUBLIC SERVICE FOR HIGHER SPENDERS THEN ME, IM NOT STUPID, I KNOW I DONT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT CHEATERS IN 3s and Unders.

  22. if u get this upset in a $1 tourney you should seriously consider a new way to make a living. You will eventually jump off a bridge and we will all feel bad to see a flying white news caster.
  23. This is classic. You act like an ass and then you criticise someone else. Don't you remember that John Kerry lost the last presidential election doing the same thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    And all he had to do was beat a guy that everyone was saying was an idiot!!!!!!!! In the end he was an ever bigger idiot depending on your point of view.

    I guess what I'm saying is if you are going to rationalize your behavior you are not likely to go far because it is damn near impossible to be focused. Unless your last name is Hellmuth. If so, I sure hope that you to can find a psychologist to marry for free therapy like Phil did :-)

    Hang in there and don't let it get to you.
  24. OKAY PLEASE READ OTHER POST I MADE TODAY, nobody getting point of this one, other one wont be accidently taken as serious as this.

  25. Here's what it feels like when I try reading anything from micro-god..

    "I lIkE tO rIgHt oNe WoRd In CaPs aNd I lIkE tO rIgHt OtHeR wOrDs WiThOuT cApS. hAlF tHe WoRdS i RiGhT wItH cApS aReN't EvEn ImPoRtAnT, bUt I mAkE tHeM sEeM tHaT wAy"

    sorry, but it's just a trend I've picked on whenever roker posts.....
