i could be wrong on MDU:s situation but id like if pokerstars team checks his game and stuff trought too..

this bots are also stabbing very much, making blufs on flop with air in spots what does not make any sense, not even a little, and you cant explain those by taking a balance card on desk.

they are 3betting and 4betting only bug cards/big pairs, and they are dominating our hands way too often if we watch closer stats and hands.

samanta81, fedor, prius, rockfella, emperor : their game styles are identic, and 4 of them started on stars very close same time.

and you should still remember that there is a human after all behind everything this so he knows he have to keep this bots on balance by loosing with one or two accounts, changing from normal tables to zoom and stuff, tonet get busted. if you think yourselves to that situation you do money with a bot, would you just let them autopilot everydraw and never change anything? im still 100%sure about that fedor is a bot and 99% in N@T@L@T situation. chatting or "tilting" or anything like that proves only that there is not a bot behind the bots, there is a clever human.

      A SQL Query comparing AIEV when two of the suspected players where on the same tables would be very usefull.. I tried building that for the first case, but it wasn't possible with HEM2.

          but he did, before he jumped to the zoom. his style was identic with prius, fedor, emperor and rockfella and others.

          Individual hands like above prove absolutely nothing, we all made those plays countless times so lets focus on aggression stats and correlation between bots.

            I think it's important not to jump to conclusions too quickly, one way or the other. Like initially people popped in saying "so and so's not a bot because I've chatted with them". Individual hand histories are obviously helpful but what do these really prove other than these players do some awful ****?

            yes this is really good point I meant these individual hand histories aren't that important in proving people are not bots, obviously could be extremely damning if other suspected players had certain hole cards.

            yes. If they have done this it's really embarrasing to say the least for stars, since u'd expect they would be able to uncover this pretty easily. Especially when many of these players have been reported numerous times before.

            the problem is that the guys who are investigating it will not be too good at PLO/poker and will not know much about blockers, etc. I have personally worked for one of the biggest poker companies and know the guys just use the tools they have for bot detection and look at some hands to find a pretty obvious collusion like folding the best hand or raise folding a very weak hand in a weird spot. They will not be able to analyze a PLO hand like you or me, doubt they will even know that it matters that a player had an ace blocker

            These random hhs being posted seem to mostly detract from the more legitimate concerns in this thread. Also, i dont find 4somniare being a big winner all that suspicious really... yeah he makes plays i dont get sometimes but mostly he just seems to abuse the **** out of people overfolding flop and turn with some very exploitative range constructions?

            Not saying that's evidence against him being a bot, just that i dont think he'd need holecard sharing to win.

            working on it now, but really don't have a big enough sample for it to be useful, only 3.5k relevant hands even including my 2014 db (most of them didn't play zoom last year, right)?

            yes, and if this is true for Stars security it is highly unfortunate, hopefully this thread can push towards change in this matter regardless of outcome. Have OP's been in touch with stars and layed out the different possibilities very simply for the Support to show them where they should look? Will it help if more people email stars about this?

            I emailed Stars this morning with a link to this thread and asking them to confirm they were investigating, haven't had a reply yet.

            Think you're being a bit harsh on their security staff, most of them will be pretty experienced poker players.

            When some of susp regs. was in the pot with someone other and other susp.reg squeezed.
            Those HHs will be relevant first of all.
