Just curious to know folks. Is this allowed. Granted I still have chips and he got me in a hand. No biggie. Just curious to know does pokerstars care about stuff like this or not really. The reason I ask is I know its trivial but it is kind of annoying. This is only a sample. Think he did it about ten times in a row.

el_loco16: so
el_loco16: have to go out
Dealer: el_loco16, it's your turn. You have 14 seconds to act
el_loco16: its 1,1 i dont care
el_loco16: ducks!
Dealer: kokoop has a flush, Queen high
Dealer: el_loco16 has two pair, Jacks and Deuces
Dealer: Game #43401806643: kokoop wins pot (5,905) with a flush, Queen high
el_loco16: what a monster flop
el_loco16: nice
pwest27: bye dude
Dealer: KeshaUkraine, it's your turn. You have 14 seconds to act
el_loco16: Jack four now

Basically it can be considered chip dumping hes telling other players what he has if they have him beat they call and get his chips. I would report it says right in the ToS that discussing hands while the hand is still going is not allowed.

Yeah I didnt think it was allowed.. Fired off a email to Stars just to question if this was allowed like you suggested. They responded really quickly

Hello Normand,

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.

I have reviewed the chat of 'el_loco16' and have found their comments to
have violated PokerStars tournament rules, listed at:

http://www.pokerstars.com/poker/tournaments/rules/

Although many of our players are not aware of all proper poker rules and
etiquette, this player has now been informed of the applicable rules.

Any future contraventions of the rules by this player will result in their
receiving a chat revocation or even a tournament disqualification.

Once again, thanks for your report, and best of luck at the tables.

Regards,

Nick H

Yeah .. I really don't like chip dumping ... I usually ask the people why they played if they KNEW they wouldn't have time - plus just leave and blind out if you have an unexpected interruption. I mean I once sat out an entire 90 player SnG just to see what would happen and I placed 7th (kinda disappointing actually) I don't know .. glad you complained though.
