    Registered for my first one tonight. Hope someone hits a royal, because I have no hope of placing.

    Have plans after work, but will try to be in front of the computer, with the fridge stocked, by 10:00.

    Thanks harlee, looks like something strange for some accounts that register in the 1PM's. We're investigating.

    Thanks for reporting this. Some users have been able to attempt entry into more than one event per day. If you're on an account that is able to enter two, please do not register yourself as you wouldn't be prize eligible in more than one tourney per day.

    SBR needs to do something to these guys that are signing up for two tourney's.

    I say boot them from the series, they know what they are doing.


    The reason I say this is when they knock someone out, that costs that other person a legit chance at winning.

    It's taking a shot at the system and screwing the other players!

    I see robzilla is in the top 20 and I played with him at 1pm. He had to have knocked someone out.

    Again not trying to sound like a bitch but when I play in a game with you at one time, then I turn on the late game to see who is winning and your in the top 20......COME ON!


    I am sure there are others.

    The guy played a good game and finished 2nd.


    Rules are rules though. Even when he says he didn't know the rules, you have to do something to keep this from happening again. The rules are posted. What about the others that lost because of this guy?

    Ok I am done with the topic.

    I agree with harlee. If rule breakers are not punished, we all might as well try to take illegal advantages -- at the expense of those that play by the rules!

    Didn't Robzilla start a thread in the Poker Forum about how he got banned for life from PokerStars for cheating?

    Wow ya If I knew I could play in multiple I would have. No way someone should be able to win or even place in points considering that is in the rules on the main page of the contest rules

    SBR should take measures and fix the glitch in the system. What if we got 10-15 guys that play in more than one per day?

    Are we going to get an official SBR response on this "cheating"? Or are we going to keep this hush hush?

    I will not make a comment untill I hear from SBR but the excuse that there is a glitch in the system is not going to do it since harlee71 reported this before the 2nd tourney started. How hard is it to post a rule of banning posters from this and future tourneys for violating the rules? Or how hard is it to boot someone who registered twice in one day for 2 tourneys.

    Common! You are better than this.

    I hope those 300 points are taken back from him and 3rd thru 6th moved up. it makes everyone involved in that 10:15 game wonder what would have happened without him winning enough big hands to finish 2nd.

    He should be banned for a long time - the rules were clear - one per day.

    I hope no one else can do this in the remaining days.

    I dont know if they are hiding, but this is the first big poker tourney so they may have to work through things.


    It didn't take snakezilla long to run off with the points to the sportsbook/casino though. Even though he probably knew what he was doing it was not 100% his fault, but win you take the points out of your wallet and start to use them. Your Guilty!
