Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 7190726, member: 397965"] For me this is pretty much the definition of bum hunting and a behaviour, which poker sites have been combatting for many years. Back in 2017-2019 lots of people were using seating scripts, which instantly got them seated at a table, where a weak player had joined, or at least put on the waiting list. This made the bum hunting blatantly obvious, since tables with a weak player instantly filled up, and it also clogged up the waiting lists. Sites then banned seating scripts and also took other initiatives like for instance ACR Poker making it, so that you could only see, who else was at a table, when you had posted the first blind. So for anyone with a minimal knowledge about online poker and its history, it should really not come as a surprice, that following the same player around from table to table in a stalking like manner is not acceptable behaviour. The fact, the rules on this site also state, that you must give action to anyone when starting new tables is more unusual for me. I understand, why they have it, but it essentially mean, that a recreational player, who was first to sit down at an empty table, is then not allowed to stand up, if a known "shark" join him, and he dont want to play with that "shark". So its quite unclear, if this actually protect weak players, or if it has the opposite effect. In general I much prefer for sites to find technical solutions to these problems or at least make clear and quantifiable rules. Like when are you "denying action" other than, if you instantly sit out? Is it ok to leave a heads-up table after 2 hands, 10 hands or 25 hands? Nobody know, so everyone is left guessing, if they are violating that rule or not. [/QUOTE]
