aggie3 0 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Tonight I was talking to a buddy of mine who plays only free money poker. I asked him it he wanted to play a tournament, standard backing deal, 50/50 split minus entry. I honestly didn't think I'd get anything back, just wanted to make my friends day since he doesn't have the funds to play real money. So i transferred the buy in over to him on Full Tilt and we both entered the tournament (different locations, different internet connections). We ended up both making the FT but never played at the same table until we were down to 18. Anyways he ended up getting third and I came in second. So my question is, will Full Tilt flag our accounts since I gave him the buy in? Especially when he sends me my half of his prize money? We didn't team play or do anything wrong, and we were open about the fact we were friends with everyone else at the table, but I've never been in this situation before so I figured I should ask. Thanks for the help in advance. Link to post Share on other sites

FARGOpokerND 22 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 IF the question arises...which is a HUGEHUGE "if", and by some random fluke chance they were to investigate, as long as you weren't blatantly dumping chips...it wouldn't be a problem. Link to post Share on other sites
aggie3 0 Posted November 19, 2008 Author Share Posted November 19, 2008 you are so screwedI was afraid of this IF the question arises...which is a HUGEHUGE "if", and by some random fluke chance they were to investigate, as long as you weren't blatantly dumping chips...it wouldn't be a problem.Yea, I didn't think it would be a big issue, especially since it was a small tourney ($10 buy in, he won $400) but with the money transfers i wanted to be sure.

Cappy37 0 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 If he's a good friend, have him sit on the money for a couple weeks. THEN transfer. Link to post Share on other sites
antistuff 0 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 if you're being honest and you guys didn't cheat at all then there shouldn't be a problem.however you might have done things which can be construed as cheating which you might not think are. if you folded a marginal hand that you would have played otherwise to stay out of his way, then according to full tilt you cheated. and full tilt is very seize your money close your account happy about these sorts of things. you should err on the safe side here, especially if you have a lot of money in your account. if i were you i would cash out most of my account.

Vick12 0 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 damn straight.. its been a while since I've seen a horse take down something, let alone both the staker and said horse.congrats!Depends on how you look at it. If you mean "a horse that took a stake via a stake thread"...then I am sure that's prolly true. If you mean "A horse who has a backer"...then this is entriely false cuz I knoe several people who have FT'd/won mtt's recently who were backed...youre fine...do what u wantAgree 100%! 1st off...it was a $11 MULTITABLE MTT. It's not like it's the $100r or something. 2nd...in a larger field mtt it's impossble for 2 people to intentionally team up etc. Maybe u get deep together, but it's not like you can plan it. 3rd...on a DAILY basis backers and horses make FT's and ship money afterwards. Heck...I am sure on any given day the Bax/Sheets empire have their Horses and them make FT's and have zero problems shipping money after.Congrats on both doing well...don't sweat at all!
