• Texas Holdem Poker - Cheating in Tournaments

  Grudzień 19, 2008

  So an interesting post recently came up on our site regarding cheating in tournaments.

  A player started a thread claiming that while he was recently playing in a No Limit Texas Holdem Tournament at Star City in Sydney, he noticed players blatantly adding chips to their stacks during breaks.

  You can see the whole thread here. Cheating thread on PokerNetwork.

  While such a claim is easy to make in a public forum, what is not so easy to do is to bring it to the attention of the Tournament Director. Never should a player that sees such a thing occur in a tournament ignore such a thing, as they then become liable for the cheating themselves. It is the duty of every player in a tournament to protect all players and the integrity of the game at all times. This is clearly stated in the TDA Rules, in rule #12.

  TDA RULE 12: "Players are obligated to protect the other players in the tournament at all times."

  I hope that players out there playing Texas Hold'em realize the importance of maintaining the integrity of the game, and that it not just the dealers and the Tournament Director who should be responsible for policing this, but also it is their duty as well, perhaps even more so than anyone else.
