    I love SBR poker and all, but I personally feel this is outrageous. Is there a rule that is against such "strategy"? It is extremely annoying, I understand, and it makes it -EV for other players at the table (since chip accumulation is important for fast structure). That said, I don't understand why his cash should be rolled down unless he violated a rule-- that is, if there are proofs that he is using a bot.

    I just personally feel like it's unjust for saintjames if he hasn't violated any rules (especially the bot accusation). Noone will like him, sure, but unless SBR implement some system to prevent this from happening, I don't see why he should be stripped of a cash.

    I am an online generation player. How will B&M handle this situation? (although I assume other players will beat the shit out of the troll outside the casino)

    I completely agree. If there is proof he used a bot, lets hear it. Otherwise it's just a bunch of players bitching and crying because of one guy playing in a way that doesn't suit them in a move to get more points. Which, in my opinion, is more pathetic than using a bot.

    haven't been at his table until the final table, but others at the table complaining that he has been stalling all tournament again (he's still doing it at the final table)

    I was on a table with him and it wasn't at all obvious he was a bot to me. Slow plays a lot but no weird folds like others talk about.

    So you are certain he is a bot?

    The people who don't think he is a bit.. Ask yourself why he doesn't respond to the saintjames is a bot popular either here in this thread or emailing. PMing sbr? LoL it's a bot.

    I played with him (it) on the final table today and each time the action came to him, the time ran all the way down before folding but he was always back for the next hand..I understand slow playing when there's more than one table going but you have nothing to gain when it's down to the final table..No question, there's some funny business going on there..

    Probably a fuk'in sbr bot! Someone finally caught on and "now" they're booting him and rolling down any winnings to the next highest placing player! Yeah it's real fuk'in sbr fishy all right!

    Is there even any remote evidence proving this guy is a bot? The fact that he gets to the final table over and over again despite this clearly -EV move suggests that (besides the fact that apparently I am worse than very negative EV players), there is merit to such strategy which did not violate rules.

    On the other hand if this is a bot that has SBR poker figured out, why would he attract so much attention on purpose..?
