A problem with the Carbon 1k Qualifier 4/08

Reply Subscribe
I played last night in the Carbon 1k qualifier. Just so happen so did a friend of mine from Romania but he was put out earlier. I made it to the final table in second place. There were 5 players chatting in Romanian which has never bothered me till now. As we were playing another tournament I had registered started and my friend from Romania was playing there and on my table. Ends up he was watching the final table to see how well I did and informed me the players that were chatting in Romanian were telling each other their hands. He even had me to wait to see if they continued and they did so then I confronted them telling them that my friend was Romanian and had informed me that they were telling their hands to each other. Immediately they stopped chatting but by then it was too late for me and another player named TRIGGERFINGER. Just so those of you who cheated know I have contacted Carbon and they are investigating and checking the chat logs. How unfair of you to do this. This does not make a good poker player nor a good sport. So maybe the two of you who got the coupon think you have accomplished something but the only thing you have done is to show what sort of character you have and you look very bad to your fellow poker players. Whether or not you get caught by Carbon I cannot be sure but I personally am telling everyone I know and have added you to my friends list so that if I am ever at the table with you again I know what I am up against and I will be taking screenshots so that I myself can translate it. How sad that people think the game is just to get the prize by any means and not by good play and good sportsmanship

Tis why I always ask players at the table to "please speak english" soon as I see more then one sentice in a foerign language and immeditly call mod's if they continue.

Having a problem with people breaking the rules even if they are doing nothing more then saying "hello and gl" is just asking yourself to run into this situation.

A few times I've called mods and they were warned and stopped. But I still make a note on the person to remind myself I called mod on this person on X date, so next time I won't even ask them to stop, I'll just call mod right away and inform mod they've been warned b4 on X date. So it's easy for mod to look up, and ban their chat perm or for a period of time.

Sucks this happened to you, hope you learned u and them learned ur lesson and that Carbon acts accordingly.

GL @ the tables.
