you know if everyone is now saboing other peoples streaks then surely someone could compile a list of people who have incentive to sabo each other and enter the right don to benefit from been helped by reverse collusion so to speak.
dons always bring drama and accusations. I have seen some very suss calls before but that does not immediately mean cheater.
im just going to do the turbo dons to get into the eliminator free roll. if it gets me a few pennies from this promo great, but i dont got the time to go for the vegas package properly.
curious to know what promo will be running in June and July as this is when i will have time to grind.
Great start to the week Bertie, I would have felt very frustrated in your position, but I'm not sure that airing it on the forum was the best approach, these things can be very polarizing.
How did the guy know you were on a streak already?
For me its absolute elite level strategy from JM. It's probably not in the spirit of how Sky intended this promo, but its elite level strategy.
It's the same as when you are on the standard 6 max tables and one player is really short or 'away', the 2nd player is a medium stack, and you are big stack - it is in your interest to work the away player to your advantage - sometimes, and hear me out, it is in your interest to fold the sb to the away player's bb.
It also had the added bonus of tilting the guy in 2nd who you may end up playing hu.
JM is just doing what Neal Maupay does on the footy pitch - i think the kids call it s**thousery, but it's well within the rules.

What you describe was literally me on a final table some time go I did it and won the whole thing and one of the guys came to the forums talking about "cheating" thats what he called it and said he was really really upset
I then came to the forum outed myself as the accused and explained and nearly the whole community agreed with me that this was not cheating. I think every poker player is incentivised to do what is in their most strategic interest and you cant penalise or condemn players for exploiting the pay structure of a tourney like this or the nature of a promotion, if its a big deal for the site players doing this then they should put it in the terms and conditions in bold highlighting it to everyone.

Haha reminds me of the time you accused me of "cheating" when I told someone they had to call pre-flop during head hunter promo because they were pot committed. You came crying on the forum, the sky poker community agreed with me, and off you went with your tail tucked between your legs
