Petition To DQ TheAntFather From The World Cup - Lets Go Poker Community

[Krashman]

well the last make up tournament the guy who placed first already played in a "monday tournament" and nothing was done about it. thats 600 points...... so what makes you think sbr cares anyway.

Not to make excuses but I made an honest mistake when I played in the March 12th makeup tournament.

My 1st place finish on Monday March 7th (the day of the crash) was not updated in the standings by midweek, the last time I checked. I don't check the forums daily. On Saturday March 12th I saw the makeup tournament in the poker client and thought I was one of those allowed to play because my 1st place finish on Monday did not get updated. It wasn't until after the makeup tounament when I checked the standings the following week that I realized my standings had been updated on Thursday, 3 days after the Monday win. I play with chat shut off so if anyone said anything during the game, well...

I played in the Saturday March 12 makeup tourney, and I believe I finished 10th. I also played in the Monday tournament (not the one that crashed) and finished 1st in that one.

I agree my 10th place finish in the makeup tourney should be deleted. SBR can even deduct the 600 finish and leave the 50 pts. which might seem fair to some, or even disqualify me.

But I was not intentionally cheating. I kept quiet after I realized I should not have been in the makeup tourney because, well it was only 50 points and I really don't care about getting to the top of the leaderboard, I just enjoy the daily tourneys and winning a few poker points for fun. So I kept quiet up until now but obviously it's not fair to others and it's a big deal to some.

I apologize to all of the other players and to SBR for the trouble this has caused.

I 100% believe your explanation here and it's not your fault SBR didn't update the standings in a timely fashion; your thought process makes perfect sense (as explained) and when there are tourneys that go technically screwy w/makeups involved... things can get confusing -- especially when someone doesn't check in everyday, understandable.

However, when someone knows damn well they weren't given a password to a tourney, but then proceeds to willfully 'crack' the password to enter a tourney they know damn well they don't belong in, with the express purpose to gain an unfair advantage over other competitors in a contest coming to a close... well, that's distinctly different from your situation (and easy to discern).

Sammy / SBR Jesus Fukin Christ! Are You Going To Address This AntFather Issue???

I know i said I was done but seeing the jerk off playing last night (nice 24th place btw) just really pisses me off. ArunSH make a great comment about the time & effort many here do to play in these promotions only to have someone blatantly cheat and then NOTHING IS DONE???? If the Poker Mods only job is to calculate the standings (half assed at that) then ITS TIME FOR A NEW POKER MOD!!!! Why is this jerk off at least not suspended? Didn't his lover PO69 get at least that??? Do the right thing here guys

[Grivas_Digeni]

Kobe-like intensity

[mpaschal34]

This would NOT have happened on SBR Doug's watch.

Reason why, there would have never of been a make up tourney in the first place.

Cliff notes;

The Antfather played in the password protected makeup tourney when he was not supposed to.

Either SBR sent him the password in error or he guessed it.

USCPHILLYGUY would like you to draw, quarter and ban him for life.

Some others would like you to remove any points he earned from it, at the very least.

How how does it feel knowing your stats were in vain, Ant?

[bobbywaves]

The disqualification protects Ant from sneaking onto a team, if he happens to get lucky in the last 2 tourney's.

But realistically it's not a just punishment, since his chances of making Confeds are slim anyway.

Ok, just a playful tweak of Philly but still uncalled for; it would be nice if we could calmly bring things up and SBR would show common courtesy and properly address legitimate issues when they arise but... *wait for it*... IT NEVER HAPPENS THAT WAY... EVER.

The only way to draw attention around here to legitimate issues that need to be dealt with is to employ the proverbial "scream from the mountaintops"; it's the only way anything has historically ever been resolved 'round here (as antfather *now* being properly banned is added to the list of historical other issues that needed to be pounded upon before anything was done about them). Not really being fair to someone by 'mocking' them when they employ the only method SBR makes crystal clear is the only method that actually works.
Save the tweaking for the actual SCAMMER.(Opti's tweaking of Philly: 1 ... of AntScammer: 0)

Our gambling natures reveal we are all competitors @ heart around here... the amounts ('free poker' blah blah blah) is irrelevant -- it's about the actual competition. I'm sure others would agree with me that whatever game/contest we engage in, big or small (even when I play Mahjong with my nieces)... WE PLAY TO WIN. Consequently, it's a reasonable expectation that all participants follow the rules and engage in fair play for all, and that SBR follows through with competency to ensure that fairness.

Philly is an outstanding SBR'er that runs a fine golf course and is well-versed in the rights & wrongs of competition; forgive him (and me) for not wanting to have to deal with cheating scumbags in competition; AntScammer is a documented 3-time cheater here @ SBR (that we know of)... any other legit poker site (stars, party, tilt, etc) would have banned his scamming ass moons ago.

[pboozer57]

Wow nice job SBR. Looks like you guys investigated the situation and justice was served.

Agree'd. Hence how sam had no idea what was going on from the other 2 or 3 topics that talked about it. Hence why the only time I've ever heard of a password protected makeup was preceded by me bitching and rambling on for post after post in multiple topics.

If you ask nice you are ignored. If you constantly bitch about it then there's a 50% chance you might get noticed.

I'd love to just ask a simple question in the daily thread and get a resolution, but anyone who has been here for more than a month knows that won't happen.

So many posters have great ideas for contests, but we get the same rehashed ones every year. I'm sure the World Championship thing will be next, and if not next then following what comes up for this summer.

well said....I'm still at work so will comment a little more later on this evening.....just had to include that edit

[mpaschal34]

I'd comment too....but I know it would be unread by SBR (as did my request for bringing back the Sunday rebuy tournament).

a couple comments then I'm done .....funny Opti wants to throw a little jab my way but doesn't even mention the piece of shit who cheated.....the guy cheated, plain and simple....he should be banned from poker here, yes. What a punishment to not be able to play in a promo that unless he does something he hasn't done all year (WIN A FUKIN TOURNEY) he wouldn't have made it anyway.

Look, i visit SBR frequently, have met some great guys here (mpash, tripd, sbrman23, iwinyoumoney, booya, jakepeavy - sure I'm forgetting a few) and for the most part, enjoy my time here. I think i give some value to the friendly banter that occurs here. When I see someone who for not the 1st time do something that isn't within the rules that are in place, yes it pisses me off. When your only recourse is to bitch, bitch, and bitch some more before something gets done, that just adds to the frustration. As I've said in the past, if I used those principles in my profession, Id be out of a job.

Biter thank you for the kind words. You couldn't have explained it any better

Good luck the last 2 events men....think Im at 3965 so probably gonna come up a bit short.......

[SharpAngles]

antfarmer in the 7 est right now so his only punishment is being DQ'd from a contest he had no chance of placing in

Result couldn't be more LoL SBR RSH if they fkn tried

sharpie be careful, sammy might come onto this thread and start criticizing you for complaining

[BiTeMe UsAdOj]

Well men, Level 2 thinking required (forget Level 5) to understand that a proven cheater needs to be banned from playing poker altogether, as his playing alone could obviously prevent another legit honest player from making a WC team (various ways, think hard for anyone not comprehending). Baby steps, men, baby steps......
