unfortunately, i think that this type of stuff will become more and more common as the number of sites grows bigger. i think that you have to be very careful about where you put your money online, because not all of the organizations are going to be run honestly.

i say just stick with the big, established sites. they have much more to lose if some type of dishonesty is found, so i think that they are actually operating pretty legitimately.

James, that reminds me of that time on UB.

I think it was you who had come to my table to watch me, and some PitBoss or something typed in "Call" in the discussion. I said WTF, and I think it was you watching who said I saw that too, as did the entire table. After continuing to play about 15 minutes, they apologized for the error and said it would not happen again. But it makes you wonder. Anyway, I can't complain, I remember having a decent session after that.

Yeah, I remember that,
There was a big stink about that, it was actually broadcast over every table on UB.

Shortly thereafter UB had mega problems with their re-buy tourneys...
After the re-buy period was over, you could still re-buy.
Even at the final table.

Interesting story, but I think it's speculating a bit too much to assume some host was trying to help a friend of his. Seems odd. What limit were you playing?

I thik you should email them (send the HH if you can get it), tell them your concerns, and ask for an explanation. If you get one, post it here.

$3/6 Limit.
I have no idea what Hand# it was, happened too quickly.
Without all this information, I am not saying this was going on....
Only that it could have been.
It would strike me as odd, as this is a relatively established site.
However, I am willing to err on the side of caution, and removed my money
from their site.
I am by no means suggesting anyone else do the same, I just wanted to share
my experience.
This way people can make their own decision.

And I do have good things to say about them too, just to show I am not biased.
I really did like the interface (although too darn slow),
And the players were very weak, which is a great thing.
Sit-n-gos were very easy, as were the multi-tables(only 15-20 signed up at a time when I was interested though)
