It's a topic that has bothered me a lot recently and I want to point out that on ACR/BCP, where I see many of you play, this tactic
is against the site terms.
From 3.5 of the
terms: "If a player is found to be intentionally violating the spirit of the game to influence payouts or general gameplay, ACR shall be entitled to immediately terminate such User’s account and seize all monies held in any relevant ACR 'real money account'.
I've asked security/support about this, and they responded by letting me how to report it when I see it. They have a form to fill out in which you'll have to note the hand numbers. After seeing someone do this 21 hands in a row in a recent Stud tourney, I've started reporting it every time. I was also recording my screen and uploaded a video to back up the report. I can personally confirm they are cracking down on it when it is brought to their attention. It's just like the people who disconnect on purpose late in the tourneys/in tough spots — which they are also paying attention to and penalizing by revoking disconnect protection.
So, on the WPN network, what anyone thinks about the move personally is irrelevant, since it's in black and white that it isn't tolerated on the network.
