So I just had the biggest wtf moment EVER in a sng. This guy hugo ra has been disconnected for like 10 hands now and is long gone from the game. So this comes up...
PokerStars Game #40233628323: Tournament #246291774, $15+$1 USD Hold'em No Limit - Level X (400/800) - 2010/02/23 18:22:46 PT [2010/02/23 21:22:46 ET]

*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to Glitlr [9c 8d]

carltons11: raises 4160 to 4560 and is all-in
Glitlr: OH NO WHAT DO I DO??!?!!
Oh wait me thinks, I emailed stars about this over a year ago and ZOMG I know how the server behaves under these circumstances. ZOMG I made a post on 2+2 about it.

So, now that you've read it, the bottom line is that if there is AN AGGRESSIVE ACTION (ie - raise, not call) to put the guy all in, his hand is FOLDED. So, with that said...
Glitlr: calls 1175 and is all-in
Uncalled bet (2985) returned to carltons11
*** FLOP *** [Kc 6c Th]
*** TURN *** [Kc 6c Th] [As]
*** RIVER *** [Kc 6c Th As] [4h]
*** SHOW DOWN ***
Glitlr: shows [9c 8d] (high card Ace)
carltons11: shows [Qs 9d] (high card Ace - King+Queen kicker)
carltons11 collected 2480 from side pot
hugo ra: shows [Kd 3d] (a pair of Kings)
hugo ra collected 1205 from main pot
*** SUMMARY ***
Total pot 3685 Main pot 1205. Side pot 2480. | Rake 0
Board [Kc 6c Th As 4h]
Seat 1: Glitlr (small blind) showed [9c 8d] and lost with high card Ace
Seat 3: hugo ra (big blind) showed [Kd 3d] and won (1205) with a pair of Kings
Seat 7: cork red folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 9: carltons11 (button) showed [Qs 9d] and won (2480) with high card Ace
I've made this call with people sitting out since it's effectively 3 handed. But apparently if he's DISCONNECTED, the PokerStars server behaves differently. I've emailed support and they are "forwarding my message to a poker specialist," **pleeeeease be Negraneu lolz*** and I am still awaiting their response. Clicking fold is instantly worth $27 here, so you can see why I am mad.
Discuss!!!

ReplyDeleteHey, Stevo. my email is mattsmeo@yahoo.com.
ReplyDeleteCan be so easy to miss the disconnected players on Stars. Can change the whole game dynamic. Lots of people either miss it or don't know how to play it. So many times I see folding to some sitting out player.
ReplyDeleteDo Stars need to make it a bit more obvious? Well, I am used to it so I can take advantage I guess.
It's pretty hard to miss it. I just thought based on the response I received over a year ago that an aggressive action mucks his hand.
ReplyDeleteDid you get a response from Stars?
