197712723 CoolHandMike OK 9 7/9/2008 10:55:31 AM

The last OK between BOTH of us---

Here is what STARS said in an e-mail--

They want me to explain SPLIT DEAL---Gee 50/50 works, doesnt, between two people?

Hello Michael,

Thank you for your mails.

As I explained in the two last mails:

Please note that pokerstars cannot enforce tournament chops or deals made
in chat while a PokerStars Host is not present.

In this tourney, 95045040, there were no Host present as you spoke about how
you would end the tournament.

As there is not complete certainty as to the intent of the deal based
on the chat logs we are unable to alter the official outcome or results of
tournament #95045040.

I have reviewed the chat logs carefully, several times and I have also
included them to you in the previous mails, but I have included it once more
in the bottom of this mail. As I was saying there is not a complete
certainty that your opponent agreed to any deal nor was it stated how such a
deal or split would look like.

thats standard wait for support to come before chopping

I dont see exactly where you said it would be 50/50, and with no host present, sounds like stars made the right call here. geez, an $11 buck 180? play it out, facryinoutloud.

I did the same thing with another tourny a few days back and they chopped it.

He agreed on a CHOP and said OK

Tuff lesson to learn--but stars did it for me before this--

Fair is fair in my book.

Mike

Your RUDE for the retarded remark--

Here is PROOF they honored a deal a few days back---

They split it for us----very similar to my first post

Be real guys----difference is only 90-100 bucks--

Chop is 50/50 between two players

The guy has to start somewhere, just like everyone else please dont be so ignorant next time!

Who is this Rah1 character? I would try to look him up and ask him to honor the agreement, vague as it was.

vague--maybe

chop and split were the terms---50/50 comes to mind with such a small tourny

Oh well--

Mike

In the second post you made where they honored your chop, you state the chop will be half the pool and will be awarded to each of you and you both said "I agree". That may be why they allowed it. If you would have waited for a Host, they would have made those same terms and made you say I agree exactly as you both did.

The first post you made was not as clear cut as the other and kind of vague. Be more clear next time, or just email support with URGENT and the tourney # in the subject line and arrange for both of you to sit out until the Host gets there. GL

for starters I believe through your deal making you violated the terms of the site. you can not agree to let one side win and the other get second. You MUST play it out, it's fine if you both go all in blind until it ends but it must end as determined by the cards. If you ever watch a sunday million or any other tourney will a split, the host is always present. Both parties are told the terms of the split and then they must type "I agree". The host will also always point out that the tourney must be played out because besides money you are awarded Tourney points which can not be split. I have seen the hosts threaten punishment to the players that attempt to "fix" who wins the event.

Don't take offense from this, congrats on your good run and learn from your error.

As I said---$99 extra if someone got 2nd place--not alot for some of you, but for me, it is.

Thanks for all the info

Mike
