Another online poker cheating thread...
Hi All,
I was attending a PokerStars sponsored event (ANZPT) back in July and had a chat with one of the guys hosting the PokerStars party and an interesting topic came up. I didn't think of it much back then but recently it has caught my attention as a possible method of cheating at online poker and wanted to hear everyone's thoughts: The guy basically said that people who have admin access (like himself) on Stars can see the hole cards after a hand is complete. This feature is there so that if you ask an admin/moderator to sort out a dispute or similar situation they can see everyone's cards and decide accordingly, also to prevent/detect collusion etc. First of all has anyone else heard of a similar functionality or was the dude just BSing? Secondly if this is true this ability after the hand itself is over is not a big deal in terms of that hand but suppose I'm colluding with one of the admins and give him a cut of profits if he tells me what a particular villians hole cards are after each hand is over. Especially in heads up play, this could serve me well in modeling his behavior and deciding on future action. Thoughts? |
Re: Another online poker cheating thread...
it also would work well to bribe that admin for a simple boomswitch. afaik everyone at stars can activate it but most deny they have the capacity.

Re: Another online poker cheating thread...
I believe if you can see the hole cards of others you could in fact cheat
|
Re: Another online poker cheating thread...
I don't even believe pokerstars exists. sounds like a made up place where the forecast is always disappointment with a chance of busto.
|
Re: Another online poker cheating thread...
Doesn't make sense. What kind of "dispute" would require admins to look at hole cards from a previous hand on an individual hand basis? How can you even have a dispute in an online hand?

Re: Another online poker cheating thread...
So you didn't think that stars has full hand histories? How do you think they review things when you accuse someone of collusion?

I can't believe that people might want to cheat.
Say it ain't so. |
Re: Another online poker cheating thread...
uhh......watch the sunday million on pokerstars tv. Everyones hole cards are exposed so that proves it. I am pretty sure that you can view the hole cards live or when they have been mucked.

Re: Another online poker cheating thread...
making a superuser account is probably super simple to program,
its most likely hard because of regulations within the company no doubt ps can abuse this, but likely they wont |
Re: Another online poker cheating thread...
lol@ needing to cheat to win, maybe you should learn how to play poker instead

I once emailed stars and asked them if they could turn my boomswitch on for a few weeks to help me run good.
They replied and said that they only turn the boomswitch on for people who have a high level of marketability and even then, they only switch it on without telling you so that you genuinely think you're a good player. |
Re: Another online poker cheating thread...
I really believe this exists. I saw on youtube some videos with someone that was showing something similar

Can we ban this troll? |
Re: Another online poker cheating thread...
I called Stars after reading this and asked them to activate my boomstick.
|
Re: Another online poker cheating thread...
Yep it's true. Me and a few Stars employees can see all whole cards while playing. Don't worry it is only a precautionary thing, much like it was in UB, in order to prevent collusion at the tables. I hope you all have a good day and keep playing at Pokerstars.
