How do you even manage to do that practically? I know you can hide a lot, but Pokerstars can ask to validate identity/personal details, check cash transfer/big deposits etc.

Or even check playing history... if they jumped right into mid stakes/high stakes for example.

They dont necessarily read this thread.

I cant prevent you from making that list. All I say is that imo its wrong and not fair to the players.

OP outed some accounts based on very solid statistical analysis and banned accounts have been outed as well.

The query you made just gives you some aggro accounts. It doesnt even include some of the key stats that were so particular for the banned accounts from PLO100.

Now if you want to run these queries and come up with lists of players you find suspicous, thats fine. I cant stop you from doing that. But now you know that I think its the wrong way to go about it and I dont think your statistical foundation is nearly solid enough.

Edit: And of course the country of origin matters, when all the banned accounts so far has been Russian or Kazahk. That dont mean bots and cheaters cant be german or from UK or Canada. But lets settle down before we accuse anyone and everyone with aggro stats of being bots

hope others go ahead and do the same, as more players(esp. respected ones) do it as better i guess.

It is pure speculation how many parties is involved with Stars bots. But any bot operation needs a lot of identities. Accounts gets seized and if you have a winning AI you want to put it to work as many times you could.

Jared Bleznick (allegedly) used to multiaccount and was able to play nosebleeds with so many fake identities:

When it comes to deposits and withdrawals there is big thread about hacked Stars account where hackers were able to cash out to a new payment method.
So moving money shouldn't be a big problem even with fake identites.

Freewilly12. I agree you should stop posting less than complete list of players, this just put more noise in this thread.

OP has posted damning evidence of these account not by cross referencing 3 stats but more like 10-15. The more stats are similar/equal the less likely this should be for non bot persons. 3 just isn't cutting it.

Everything which has evolved in this thread is sickening...

What I don't get and what a lot of people have already stated, random allegations without facts weaken this case
how can someone declare another player a 99,9% cheat without further explanation, i don't get it

Like OP stated the ratio of Squeeze/3B being close to 1 is actually very rare among regs.

(It uses two stats.)

3 betting more on BB than SB is very rare also - basically the reason for their higher than normal agression factor on BB.

I also tested many legit regs and they didn't fit to these ranges.

I took the image off from imageshack so it shouldn't be showing anymore mods can remove those posts if they can.

I emailed Stars myself about Fedor and Samanta along with a couple of other regs in late October and within the week Samanta stopped playing non zoom tables and changed his preflop stats drastically. I can only assume Stars froze their accounts while investigating or otherwise tipped them off.

Sorry to bombonca and purple for posting that screenshot
Hope you are allright.

I acted too hasty.

Also my apologies to Oink and Mig.

Oink can you pm me the key stat so I could run a better query - not going to post the results ITT.

I have seen TotalSuccess (one of the banned PLO100 accounts/bots) do that min bet thing as well. It was one of the things we posted in our original post in SSPLO BBV thread.

Basically Totalsucces minbets/minraises 100% at one table while playing normal at 2-3 other tables I was with him at. He did it for about 20-30 minutes.

Looked an awful lot like a bug in a bot program. In my 4 years of PLo I have never seen any reg do a thing like that. But aparently 4Somniare has had the same bug

Hands where TotalSuccess minbets/minraises 100%

lol, man there is plenty of regs on your list and someone like Purple who everyone knows older then 10yo from his tourney days, also tons of ligit regs (?) like pauluss, leobog, redhorse and others i cant remember now.

What we need is stars full investigation that will hopefully show undisputed consistency in playing style that only bot can do and/or collusion with other players/bots in 3bet/squeeze situations on regular basis. That could be a good start.

Its only time when stars rep shows up , we should give them more of what they need to be looking at in their investigation.

I think undisputed consistency is very tough cookie still. And there is very little evidence of collusion but it seems to be on everybodys mouth.

But anyway..you accept my apology?

Accepted, you were just trying to help i know its ok.

Hi
Dentist1 here.
Im in Russian poker community at least 8 years (offline and online) and know many players, but dont know any from this post. its very strange.
just Samanta81 - real player (name ilya, i meet with him 2 month ago)

I will reiterate: No, it is NOT "very rare" or in fact rare at all.
From ~30 students I've coached in the last couple of months more than half had 3bet higher on BB than SB.

This stat might be worth looking at in conjunction with some other stats, but in of itself it doesnt show absolutely anything.

Yes I didn't use it solo. Did those students also have same AgF on BB compared to their total agression?

Squeeze/3B ratio and high BB agression were two key stats on OP post.

I am asking this because it is a bit more complicated to do agression defs on notecaddy.

Pokerstars software has a security feature which prevents users who are logged-in from the same location or household from playing together at the same games.

Because the evidence is so strong, can pokerstars prevent the ip addresses of the accounts in question from playing at the same tables

In 2010/2011 I was in a group of players from 2+2, who tried to get rid of the NL bots on the ongame network. One of the huge tells on them where that those bots never 5bet all in pre, always made a min 5bet preflop. Just felt like telling that, probably not a huge deal or anything in this case.

I noticed two Estonians doing this 2 or 3 years ago and pokerstars agreed it was the same location but because they rarely sat at the same table it was ok? Now both players disconnected at the same time and sat out at the same time. I thought ok they will get banned but nothing happened as it looked like they were attempting for the first time to both sit in and hussle the other 4 of us.

Ok another player comes to mind from Russia who must have seat scripting software or some kind of bot issue as he acts in the same way as all the other suspects accounts and the username is YOO4 and at first glance the avatar looks Chinese but county of origin is Russia and again he plays in a strange way and is playing now with a healthy stack everytime I observe him. He may be very good for all I know but he pops up with the others mentioned putting in a lot of hours and the OP could check him out for stats etc. there is one more and I'll just go get the spelling correct.

Ok fedor is on now and all in again with two low pairs and a flush on the river to take a $400 pot. He had **** but made two small pairs and a queen flush on the second run. So he's back crushing with crap hands.

The other guy who has just disappeared has an avatar of a face mask called something like Renaniunes?

This guy at the same stakes crushing for over a year needs checking out.

This is so clear to any non-believers.. The first 4 guys plays with less difference that the already busted bots did. Seregaxx, Fedor and SuSaain are a bit different in some areas.

I've selected 10 winning midstakes-ish players to compare with. Nick/sample/winrate is hidden not to out anyone.

renan def not a bot. chats/tilts/spews like crazy, also not good. dont have russian ptr but would be very surprised if he was doing much more than breaking even (though to be fair i would have thought that about most of the suspected accounts)

haha Dandan, you might need to take a step back from the thread for a bit papi

You already mentioned your "wife" account and your anon account ITT


Renan def not crushing
