Just being playing a SPT qualifier today, 3 left top 2 get entry to semi.
Im shortstack around 3k, 2nd player has 8k chip leader 15k (ish)
Throughout this they flood the chat box with "check the hand down" when Im not in the pot.
Chip leader tells the other player to raise when Im not in hand and he will give fold.
I mention in the chat box several times about the soft play, to be honest Im fuming at this point.
They also exchange facebook and msn names in the chat box!!!
I now know its pointless raising as Im going to up against 2 players every hand, so my only move is allin and hope I get lucky.
I manage to get a lucky double up and after a few shoves and blind folds Im up to 9k ish.
Anyway I shove with 88, one of the players tells the other one to fold, obviously he has a monster, he does AA, which hold up.
I have already discussed this through the Skychat function and they have said they will deal with it, what does that mean, will these be disqualified with me being entered.............. I very much doubt it.
What would other players like to see happen in these circumstances.

I think they're mugs for making it so obvious. Theres obvious ways to beat a short stack, alot of what they did, wud have happened anyway if they have any idea what theyre doing. But by making it blatently obvious in the chatbox, theyve blown it. Theres no doubt about it 1 or both must be dq'd and you progress. By trying to beat u (fairly or unfairly is a new debate, obviously ganging up on the shortie in a sat is common sense) theyve obviously helped you by going about it in the wrong way. Surely they were reading eachothers minds, didnt need writing. Theyve given u a lifeline. Plz update the post and let me know what comes of it. GL to ya
DOHHHH
(P.S, what was the buy in here???)
dont care about the money tbh, I agree about the strategy against the shortstack, however I had built my stack up to just about level 2nd place, however my game strategy is lost as I cant put any small raises in as both players will call, my only move is allin.
yep i agree ban both of them,
one comment from them in chat box maybe a slip of the finger ,
but blatant cheating like this no excuse .
defo lets us know the outcome.
Hey, I only asked what the buy in was to understand the ability/experience of the players involved. It wasnt in anyway aimed to take momentum/emphasis away from ur point. The same of course wud apply to a tourny with a 50p buy in.
DOHH
Keep us updated with what happens, have seen this a few times so am interested as to what, if any, action sky take
This is blatant cheating and should not be allowed.
a chat-box ban yes, but if you did this in live poker you'd be warned and asked to stop first, with the current hand to be made dead.
anyhow, if u reported that was all that's needed, sky moderators will handle it no doubt about that. whether you're put through the sat is another story, i doubt you'd be on the forum if you didn't run into aces and go bust. for one thing, you shouldn't be making "small" raises when it's 3 way anyway, so it probably didnt change the outcome of the game much imo since by the time you reach 3-way on sky its always <10bb poker making it very much steal+preflop-shove poker.
