Re: Boycott PokerStars Stud/Stud8 games until they clean them up

Re: Boycott PokerStars Stud/Stud8 games until they clean them up

Just wanted to say thanks for posting this and trying to get Stars' attention. I just recently got back in to online and had started playing stud there before I saw this. It's pathetic that they allow this to go on. Every limit higher than .5/1 has two players from China just sitting out waiting for some sucker. How is that not obvious to them?

I appreciate your warning and understand your intention. There are a lot of proofs for what you state, but someone losing 10BB in 20minutes in a shorthanded game more than usual

I'm going to keep an eye out for that. I've started playing Stud/8 regularly the last couple of weeks, and have been doing alright. I've made notes on these three just in case.

Bet they (we) are playing on merge, where I have seen a few chinese stud players as well. Has anyone seen anything questionable going on there?
