| something fishy tonight at betonline I was playing a cash game tonight and I saw a guy sit down with the screen name >M055R. Normally the screen in front of our chairs at the table shows our screen name and how much money we have in front of us. This player it only shows his name, no idea how much he has in front of him. I go into live help to speak to someone at bet online and I get no help at all. Of course the first hand I get into with him he felts me. I have A K o he has AQ o flop comes A K 7 rainbow we end up all in he turns Q and rivers Q. I am not screamin foul play at all but with all the oddness that came with this player and the run around with the customer service a little piece of me cant help but wonder. Also I typed the person screen name in the search box on betonline and it comes back unknown user name. I am going to attempt to attach a screen shot showing the table and the chat with customer service. Last edited by lcbjr1979 : 20th October 2011 at 6:46 AM. Reason: add more info |

| re: something fishy tonight at betonline poker You cant see anything about them. I dont really know what to think. I dont think it was someone hacking in, but more likely an inside job. The guy I chatted with about the incident has me really baffled. He tells me I need to wait til tournament is finished, I reply its not a tourny its a cash game and he says I know. Then they cut me off of chat. |

| Since more than one has seen this with this player, I'll go out on a limb and suggest it may be due to the > character in front of his name. Don't know about BetOnline specifically, but many of these poker clients (like Bodog and Absolute Poker/UB) use HTML to render their clients in a browser engine. The > character is significant in HTML as a closing tag, and it's not unusual to see shoddy code cause such special characters to break parts of the content being displayed. I've hear a ton of reports about BetOnline's shoddy software, so it wouldn't seem much of a stretch for this to be the reason. Oh, and their support rep is LOL-worthy. |

| I am glad that someone is bringing the "fishiness" of this site out. I personally USED to play on BetOnline cash tables only... but with the crapping out of the software... NO MORE. Sorry to digress; my experience of fishiness falls in the fact that EVERY TIME I have been dealt pocket kings it will delay as if the software or internet connection went out (which I have never had one problem with Cox cable... not any downtime ever since I have been a customer) and it then will sit me out; thus not being able to play the hand. This has occurred now on 13 occasions... Coincidence??? I'll leave that one up to you. Oh... customer service is a joke, telemarketers would make better tech support! |
