FAO Tikay - "4KingDonk" is using an exploit to get around 2 table cap per stake on heads up tables

sutpidneek

Currently there is a 2 table per stake cap on the amount of empty heads up cash tables a player can sit. If you sit alone at 2, for example, £1/£2 heads up tables, the system will not allow you to join a 3rd table. You will just get an error message informing you of the 2 table cap. But, if you sit at you're allotted 2 tables, and then join another players 2 heads up tables of the same stake, and that player leaves, leaving you alone at 4 tables of the same stake, the system will not kick you, which i have to assume is a bug (please correct me if im wrong, if so, then this thread is moot). If it is a bug, then this is a clear abuse of the system and he is gaining an unfair advantage over every other player, who is only sitting at a maximum of 2 tables per stake.

@Tikay10 could you please forward this to the powers that be, who can hopefully deal with this! (or, inform me that what hes doing is allowed).

Thanks

Morning.

No problem, I've sent that up to the Office for them to take a look & deal with as appropriate.

Agree it needs fixing but did you ask him for two of the tabs in the chat box?

The alternative is to sit him and force the issue, Regs won't play each other on here.

I don't see what the issue is here. The current system merely penalises those that refuse to give action to all but the weakest opponents.

If you want to hold more tables in the HU lobby, there is nothing to stop you doing the same. I think it is right that those who are prepared to fight for tables get to hold more of them.

You can sit 2 no limit and 2 pot limit right assume thats what was happening here and what the regs that hold the lobbys across the higher stakes generally do, never see any of them in four nl tables at one stake.

All four tables look like no limit in the screenshot.

Yeah you're right just checked the names of the tables, weird never noticed anyone doing that before.

There have been 1/2 other regs over the years who have figured out this is possible and exploited it, but this is the first person ive seen to do it for a while, and the first since i realised reporting on this forum may actually get something done about it.

I havent seen 4kingdonk do it again since i made this thread, so hopefully he was warned and that is it. Ill bump this thread everytime i notice someone do it and @ tikay.

To be fair to 4kingdonk, I was able to open sit 4 HU tables at the same stake just now. The 4th one wasn't allowed to start and then let me after a brief pause. The 5th failed.

The bigger thing to get fixed in the lobby is actually having the thing refresh periodically. Whatever the table status is at 6-max when I login remains throughout e.g. if 3/6 are sat at a table of 50nl when I login, that 3/6 remains no matter what the number of players is later on.

I'd be way more concerned that people are seat-blocking, which from multiple reliable sources you do @sutpidneek , if anything needs removing or banning it's people that cause the site to get less action because they are blocking tables. Pretty sure under the same rules that a site like GG uses, you'd already be banned from the pool for predatory playing practices.
