Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 7171405, member: 397965"] It does for the 10 hand rule but obviously not the "bum hunting" rule. Their email to you basically just repeat, what is stated in their Security and Ecology policy (SEP): [HEADING=3]11. Hit and Running[/HEADING] 11.1. Hit and Running is defined as leaving a table shortly after winning a significant pot, consequently depriving opponents of a chance to recover their losses. 11.2. Factors that are considered for Hit and Running include, but are not limited to, the size of the pot, the number of hands played post-winning the pot, and the frequency of such behavior. 11.3. Potential actions for breaches: WARNING, SUSPENSION, REWARD REMOVAL, PERMANENT BAN. Another part in the SEP, which is equally vaque and unclear, is this: [HEADING=3]6. Bum Hunting[/HEADING] 6.1. Bum Hunting is defined as the intentional practice of seeking out less experienced users while deliberately avoiding engagement with more skilled users. 6.2. User is strictly prohibited from screening for and engaging certain Users, only choosing to participate in games when these specific users are present. 6.3. User is strictly prohibited from targeting specific Users, for instance, by leaving a game shortly after a certain users depart, and/or resuming the game when those particular users return. 6.4. Potential actions for breaches: WARNING, SUSPENSION, REWARD REMOVAL, PERMANENT BAN. ............................................... Section 6 basically provides GG Poker with an excuse to ban winning cash game players at their own discretion, since there is not a single serious cash game player, who is not selective with, who they play against. All the GG Poker sponsored "site pros" do as much bumhunting as everyone else, but of course they are never banned for it. So yeah it is pretty ridiculous. But as players our choise is to either accept these ridiculous terms and try to not get banned or stay away from cash games on GG Poker and play them somewhere else.
