Hi I'm Nicole. I'm being harassed and Bum Hunted On GG Poker Please help

Hi everyone my very fist post here and I'm not happy about it but I thought I would bring to it the attention of people that play on GG Poker and online poker in general. I would first like to say I'm a recreational poker player. I play on GG Poker Ontario, according to their TOS. you cannot do any Predatory Behaviour.

Such as Bum Hunting, chasing players over and over. I have 3 youtube videos of a player by the name of TobiasClassy better known as Skylar LeBlanc who is a streamer according to google. This person has followed me table to table nearly 20 times. I have filed with the security team of GG Poker and I just like to bring to the attention of players . Yes I'm a fun player, I like to play lots of hands in 5 card omaha.

With all that said I'm playing on a website that clearly stating that we protect players like myself from pros that are chasing you table to table. I hope this posting will aware someone who is well connected in GG Poker to take this matter seriously. here are the 3 videos of the bum hunting

If anyone from GG Poker can actually take this seriously its been happening for months. I have reported it and still nothing

Help this girl out. Get her in the discord. It's healthier for the ecosystem if the regs can treat the recs with a little respect.

The game is the game but blatantly chasing a player from table to table is a bit much.

Bovada/ignition is anonymous?


Just moved this thread here from BBV. Perhaps it should be merged with the GG thread.


Maybe this thread might give some advice how to counter bum hunters:

Hi thank uou, may I ask who these people you tagged are thank you


That is not harassment. If you dont want to play headsup then dont open sit at empty tables.... problem solved.


Alt POV; You can abuse the player whose better than you by learning from him.

Strike up a conversation; let him know you know he's bumhunting you. Ask how you can improve.

If you don't want to do that; just watch what he's doing to you and mimic it until you understand it.

I don't know; because from my POV bumhunting isn't really that bad of an issue. I don't do it; I've had it done to me; I grew from it. You're going to have sharks come in here and tell you 'oh yeah for sure' but you've likely just told them how to find you and exploit you themselves.

The truth is some people care that your being bum hunted. Some will feign it because you're a woman. Others will be honest: Get better; hit the books, quit bitching. We're not your dad, your brother, and even if we were, you're essentially asking us to yell at the yankees for beating the red socks. We have no obligation to protect you from better players, we do have an obligation to protect you from harassment and cheaters. (I think we do anyway).

So bluntly -> Get better at the game, because why should the good player who dedicated his time to improvement be punished because you didn't take the time to improve?

Others disagree with me; so there is that, and you shouldn't assume my POV is 'everyone against you'. You're going to get a lot of support, I just thought I'd offer the counter perspective.

(Jonathon Little preflop charts - Very successful tourny player) ; https://www.youtube.com/@BradOwenPoker (Brad Owen has helped many people by explaining his rationale)

The above resources get you started; but it's going to be you that makes the decision to go for it and become the best poker player you can be

*there is also a poker group exclusively for women on Global Poker; but idk about the other websites. Check it out; I'm fairly certain they play and train with each other.


how about you hire a coach, go over his database and learn how to beat him instead of crying on the internet that someone is playing a game against you while you're playing a game?


bumhunting is explicitly against the rules on that site


Don't open sit if you don't want to play him hu?

I'm a HU player, and I love nothing more than people who open sit 6max but suck at HU. Its easy EV.

Look to improve your game or join full tables. Or change site. I personally hate GG anyway so I know my choice.

Don't know what else to say and I'm not trying to be rude.

bumhunting is explicitly against the rules on that site

so is tablecamping, which is what OP is doing in all those videos


agreed, op is being unreasonable, should just get on the waitlist for an existing table instead

i think op would have a much stronger case if she were joining full tables and that person always followed her into the waitlist


She's also bumhunting waiting for players less experienced than herself. I imagine the PLO5 community is rather small, it's not fair that she gets free reign to play against anyone she chooses but nobody else. Is this Leblanc guy simply forbidden from playing poker while she's online? Also it seems like she's multi-tabling; do you not understand the value in opening new tables to entice others to join? A lot of fish stare at lobbies waiting for an empty seat at a full game but too scared to play shorthanded. By opening tables with someone HU you can pass the blinds around and often within mere minutes others will join and now you have the best game.


Fwiw if a dude posted this the response would be much more hars. Anyway kind of sad (and pathetic) to create a new account and cry look I'm a girl who plays for fun and someone isn't letting me wait for worse players and camp. Like others mentioned camping is not allowed either. Just join a waitlist or learn to play hu against better players than you. I think in gg client ou can choose how many players you need when you join a list. Peace.

Hi thank uou, may I ask who these people you tagged are thank you

just regs who post here and play on the site. He had already told me about this he showed me the videos. He also said you had just stacked him just before those videos.

I advised him to just not sit you heads up but....

While bum hunting is technically against the tos they are very unlikely to enforce it also in the video you are breaking more rules then him which others have brought up like starting a table and then leaving before 15 hands and getting a 15 minute penalty to avoid him and reported him in the videos after he joined a 3 handed table which is just not even remotely bumhunting. There's very few tables to play in the Ontario plo streets your gonna have to learn to play with him at least in full tables. You also started the tables which means anyone can join

Also he's not really bumhunting because this guy plays every table. I believe bumhunting is when you only sit the weak players and not the strong. he is sitting vs all the players this guy plays like 8-16 tables at a time

and most importantly you also potentially doxed him which is 10x more serious then a player

reported him in the videos after he joined a 3 handed table which is just not even remotely bumhunting. Theres very few tables to play in the Ontario plo streets your gonna have to learn to play with him at least in full tables.

but ya I want you to feel comfortable but hes really not doing anything wrong except maybe joining knowing he is triggering you.

A lot of fish stare at lobbies waiting for an empty seat at a full game but too scared to play

its like 1-2 tables per stake . its literally impossible for the two players to avoid each other

An all time classic.

freddy still plays on acr, one of the better nl100 guys iirc


Hi I have read all the comments and everyone is saying don't sit at a single table, my whole point of all this is GGPoker is the strictest site out there, they have strong policies, I personally know players who lost their balance, they clearly state you cannot do such acts if i played on say pokerbros or pokerstars for example, I would not make this post. Only because of what they are claiming that we protect players from such acts thats all.


Hello Nicole i think you dont understand the comments that have been made or pretend o not understand them.

The videos you posted dont show him following you to different tables.

What it shows is that you are open sitting and then going on sit out when he joins.

Which in my opinion is fair enough if you do not want to play him heads up but seems to be breaking rules based on the comments in this thread.

Also it seems like there is only 1 or 2 tables open at the stakes and game type you are playing so by definition you will be playing at tables with him often even if he doesn't target you.

If he wouldn't be allowed to sit any tables that you are on how would that be even remotely fair?

If there is just one table of 5 card Omaha going at these stakes that would mean opponents you dont like are unable to play their favourite game as long as you play. You must realise that this is unrealistic and unfair.

If you had changed tables multiple times and open sat a different table after he joined you would kind of have a point but you cant honestly expect to be able to sit any table you want and automatically own that table.

One could also argue that if you are open sitting but are only wiling to play fun players and immediately sit out if someone who knows how to play joins, that that is bum hunting.

Because it is.

So in essence the video doesn't show what you claim it shows, you might be bum hunted or not but from the evidence presented we cant tell.

There is just as much if not more evidence of you bum hunting in those videos as of you being bum hunted and you seem to be breaking additional rules too.

I dont think you have a leg to stand on here at all.
