Russian bots wpn allowing them to steal major money from unfair play - Page 9 - Winning Poker Network -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

25nl, dr. akula, morghulisValar and kuklla all have similar stats over few k hands and seem to use same strategy/ranges. Surprisingly they are all from russia.

All these 3 guys stopped at same time and now there are 3-4 other russians at the tables who play alike. They are also softplaying each other and very likely colluding. Th3Gamer, zanzan13 and HapKoTuk are likely teaming up on non russian players...
All the above makes the 25nl games unplayable atm. Its too bad.

The Russians (bot or not) on this network are awful. Maybe 1/10 is any good....

I have thousands of hands on them, except dr. akula (I only recently seen him, so less than 1000 hands) but I'll check my database when I get back from vacation. I don't have enough hands on them from this computer.

I saw the Russians playing 3 handed today (hapkotuk was one of them) and I chose not to sit -- not cause I think they're good, I just had a bad feeling something was up. That was the first time I ever avoided that situation.

I don't know if those are bots but I've noticed some players say exact the same thing when they just sit down at the table, something along the lines "hello to all from <name>". It happened multiple times, they don't respond to chat messages, and sometimes when I multitable I notice two different players sitting down and using the same canned chat message within seconds. It's just weird, but they are not located in Russia... very different locations.

Does anyone familiar with NIGHTHAWKEN? 100% pure bot. I reported about him several times, support just ignored it. It's a shame because he was successfully banned from partypoker.

Best solution would be ban all non Americans but yet again that would be impossible for wpn considering they wanna take on stars

They have way more tables at lower stakes and you don't need 6 players to make a game. Fwiw, a table sees more hands short handed

But again the point is wpn will never do it because they wanna take over stars. So u can be rest assured you can keep grinding there
