Pocket 5’s is full of buzz and chatter. The Poker Players at Pocket 5’s are calling for an all out poker playing boycott of Coke Cola because of a recent choice in spokesperson. Bill Frist, one of the greatest opponents of online poker made an appearance promoting Coke in a currently running commercial. Coke has made some enemies in the Poker Players in the US and around the world for asking this man to represent them. If only the impact becomes enough to be seen against Coke, how many of the politicians would take note?

Joehacehm and BertMinatti found themselves in a huge Sit N Go earlier this evening. It was eveidenlty rather one sided, and the thread ended with two posts:

Cy33 – That was quick! Who won?
Bertminatti – Not I

And last but not least 2 of the hottest topics right now refer to Full Tilt Poker and their current use of Security:

As it appears there was a cheating ring of some kind. There are several threads that talk about Full Tilt crediting back their account; however, there are a number of them that are also making some serious allegations against Full Tilt and their management of player accounts. At least two very popular and controversial posts are making it evident some of the managers in the fraud department are not looking at player history when they are choosing to freeze, suspend or restrict regular online Full Tilt Poker players. In at least one post the player was accused of having chips intentionally dumped to him, by a player they were able to mark as competing online with a stolen credit card. The player posted the hands and games that are being questioned by the FullTilt team. There were to many missed ‘dumping’ opportunities for the average online poker player to support FullTilt’s accusations.

The second popular thread has quite a different flair – but once again Full Tilt Security is raising questions about their choices. The thread discusses a previous debt to Firepay, who is no longer associated with Full Tilt Poker, which resulted in the closing of a first account, years ago. Since then the same player opened a new account in a new screen name, but the same real name and a credit card, as Firepay is not currently an option. He plays competitively but not steadily as he did in college, then places 3rd in a large payout tournament. What did Full Tilt respond with? Freezing the account for multi-accounting. After proving who he was to the FullTilt Security Team, he is getting no response on the resolution of this case. Is there something to fear by answering this poker player or helping him resolve an issue that is 2 years old and with a company that is not associated with them any longer? This particular player is not even denying his position of debt to Firepay, nor is he moving in a manner of deception with the company. Instead he is attempting to be responsible and approach this in a manner that is appropriate. Now, what will Full Tilt Security do? Or do they just take people’s money because they are becoming better more competitive players.
