The thing with the russians in tournamenst is very annoying. they are flooding the tourneys ( you are seating in a table with 5 or 6 of them) they are calling with any crap they have and most of the times they hit on the river, plus if you win one of them someone else will get your chips. its not a secret they work together and ive translated with babelfish couple of times saying their cards to each other and playing accordingly. plus its a few of them in here which they give the passwords for the tourneys. the majority of them playing the tourneys are not even members in here.

they have a lot of luck. but team playing is out of order but theres nothing going to be done about it. i think its rediculous that no poker site is willing to do something. as for the pw sharing all we get is *its a promo*

I tend to agree with your observation on the Ruskies,Its silly players that play silly hands. I try to set them up and take their chips. I get sick of the massive number that there is now. ANYway, Good luck at the tables

Just curious... as I thought that it's only me who see russian donks everywhere... Sometime I sit at the table, which is full of russians JERKS and they speak russian profanity language on chat between them. I can understand their talking very well, but I wish other players were not able to. That should be forbidden of course, but we can do nothing with that. Usually, Russian JERKS have no money on their accounts, so they mainly play freerolls. When they earn some $$$ they start to play buy-in tournaments but these are the same russian JERKS. This is like a scourge... They don't know what poker is and they are rather bingo players...! On the other hand, I could understand that, taking into consideration the psyche of this fckn nation...

lmao your lucky i went all in pre flop after a raise in a tourny yesterday with As donk across from me calls with 45 off and hits knocking me out, she was an aussie all the same i have to say not all russians are donks and there is plenty from every country that make idiot calls but there is alot of russian donks around these days seemed to have took over the old french spot
Guess there is no way to confirm membership at BRM at time of tournment registration other than the PW. Sometimes I feel like a marshmellow in hot chocklate. One of 'em said something to me in Russian after I won a hand. All I could say was "ths"...bet he was cussin' me out lol. I find if I play strong positionally I stand have a chance...cant do much about the beats.

I don't care about their playing style cos by now i am used to it but what really annoys me is that they speak their own language and noone else understands...

I think changing the freerolls from nl to ten game or horse would stop these russians and other people to only play on luck. but then again that wouldn't attrackt alot of players.
to BRM can you change registration from password to menber in full tilt lot of tournement are for menber only BRM will have to send then a list of usermame

I agree with the post above, i know full tilt poker can do a system that only allows registration to tournaments/freerolls only to members that are registered to a site. To be more specific the freeroll registration is not protected by a password as the bankrollmob freerolls but you have a registration button that send you to the full tilt poker site where you need to click a registration button. After this step is completed you can freely play in that freeroll. Still i can't guarantee that this change will reduce the numer of russian players that play the bankrollmob freerolls. As stated above the fact that they call you with almost any hand should be in theory an advantage and not a drawback, so if you study the problem a bit you can turn this unwanted situation in a profitable situation for you.

I got 1 id : xaha2425. Warned him & the others to chat in english only but striked back with nasty words. & then he chat again in russian, he said he had contacted moderators & they allow that.. ???? (i did see once FT remind us to chat in english only..) i did not know which moderator, maybe russian moderator.. Please admin, ban this player!
