Announcing your hand in chat

[eugmac]

Ok, this isn't something I've ever done before, and it was a purely impulsive move... Maybe I was just getting sick of getting sucked out.

CA_SLAVE: eug....i wasn't finished with my decision yet
gordo1973 (Observer): your a %&$$ing !!@%!&$
CA_SLAVE: kind of against the rules...
gordo1973 (Observer): i just sent an email about collusion to full tilt about the three iof you

Would FT have case for reprimanding me?

TURN YOUR CHAT OFF

[badgers]

Wait, what was the point in that?

[eugmac]

I'm not even sure now, but I guess didn't want it going 3-ways? In retrospect, I had them both covered and everything so I had nothing really to worry about.

I don't see the point of doing what you did, but I can't see what case FT would possibly have against you. You can type whatever you like in the chat box. After all, you could well be bullshitting.

The site rules are pretty specific

"Players and observers may not discuss a hand until the action is complete. Discussing cards discarded or hand possibilities is not allowed. "

I had a run in at full tilt about a year ago; a player kept telling his starting hands, sometimes he was telling the truth, sometimes it was BS. There was other stuff too, he was being a bitch, so I blew the whistle on him and Full Tilt got back to me saying that they had reviewed the HH and had banned him from chatting until further notice.

So, if your wondering if they will do anything, it's hard to say, I guess it's a case by case sort of thing, but the worst I could see is them preventing you from using the chat feature.

Yeah I can't see them doing much more than give a warning here. Small chance they will take away your chat for a week or two.
