    I've worked out at least 7 or 8 who have been caught. Been unfair on others who thought they had no chance because of high scores, when so many have cheated.

    Interesting to see if those who have been found cheating are also booted off sky like others have in the past.

    Well done & good luck to all who qualified! Quite surprised at the % required to make the top 16, thought it would be a touch higher. 

    Hope that all those found to be cheating are banned from the site!

    Feel sorry for you Murray and the others who played on thinking they need a few extra % and turns out they didn't.

    Been sweating this all day for no reason pretty sickening, hope all colluders cheaters are banned from sky permenantly. Great promo but more work needed on instantly filtering out people who are cheating as alot of players would of given up/felt they had no chance with like 64%-65% and have now lost out. Look forward to playing the tournament though.

    I was lucky that i managed to improved mine, i was looking at 68% as the bench mark and somehow managed a decent run last night.

    This should have been monitored daily with colluders instantly removed rather than carrying out one big validation at the end of the promo. There are def loads of ppl who ruined what would have been a winning score by playing on because they thought they were out of it.

    All qualifiers will be entered into the Last 16 tournaments on Monday 4th August. I was of the impression the tournament was tuesday?

    Could you clarify when the tournament takes place, and some info about structure how it's going to work etc.

    Alot of people have said this was a great promotion. It really wasn't.

    I'm not saying you have to be really stupid to get caught colluding, but I am saying I really hope these people aren't banned from the site because I'd love to see them on my cash tables in future.

    Honestly, if there aren't at least one or two who have manipulated their results in this last sixteen, I'd be amazed, staggered, flabbergasted, gobsmacked, astonished, etc...


    I hope there is no repeat of this promotion. Suggestions of hundred game samples seem to miss the point that such numbers would exclude most recreational players and anything shy of that leads to the problems we've seen here. 

    There is no way to stop two or three people working together on Skype to bump up their results. Intelligent collusion is undetectable for this type of HU win rate promotion.

    The tournament is on Tuesday but you'll be entered on Monday, the structure will be that of a regular holdem heads-up sit n go.

    It was a good promo, still stand by that.

    But myself along with others were sitting on 64ish, started playing near the end of the promo due to our scores were never going to be good enough.

    Based on the updated promo page in the last week.

    It's ashame to see that a good number of people in the top 16 were removed, so people sittng on 64 would have been good.

    It's a bit of ashame, but it is what it is.

    Good luck every1 that made the tope 16

    Dynamics of a hu game will be interesting if players can see hands a few moments later on the tv. Will the stacks double as each round goes on or reset along with blinds?

    jacquelyn sent me a very long PM asking about suspicious play. surprised to see him removed, he claimed he was a priority reg? some of the names that have been banned are pretty shocking. fairly big and consistant winners caught colluding. most of them by going on god-mode runs against new accounts. very strange to risk access to a site where you have won 15k+ to win a promo in such an obvious way.

    with HUSNG's it would be very hard to keep collusion out of the hand history and maintain a 75% winrate in a 15+ game session, largely due to the number of flips / potential coolers that a normal set of games involves.

    i did tell jacquelyn that he shouldnt worry about his potential colluders not being caught as their hand histories would 100% give the game away.

    he didnt reply.
