Anyone else suspect blackw0lf_03 of being a bot?

Can't remember much about him, but if hes from Ukraine/Belarus/Russia. Guilty.

For teh case there r fullring bots hes one of them but fr seems fairly save compared to 6max

If he is a bot then he's running on a Commodore 64.

That's one of the reasons I'm very suspicious. He takes ages to make such standard decisions all the time. Makes a lot of sense that the reason he'd take so long is due to him running the spot through a dream machine.

No one else "slow roll"-check-raises the river like he consistently does either.

I'd say "dream machine" would achieve better results.

Alex Fridar and alertZR are more suspicious to me than blackwolf

i would be quite surprised if got_nuts999 @6max, and very likely Dynomiter888 were not bots.
They have identical play style compared to bots that were banned quite some time ago from midstakes (and it was confirmed they were bots). Both have identical playstyle by 0.5-1.5%, and lol nickname 3 numbers at the end for both is lol.

Those 2 are superobv. But there is already next gen 2.0 overrunning 6max hundo

i doubt blackwolf is a bot

i think gotnuts has already been banned? unless he's back playing.

Still gone, same for dynamiter. But since several new russian/belarus accounts appear at hundo 6max on a daily basis i wouldnt be surprised if teh person behind them is oreddi back

I reckon they'll be back very quickly. Not only that but I think we have to be far more vigilant with players from other countries too. So far there have been players banned from Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Germany and UK.

It's actually incredibly frustrating that Pokerstars cannot process the idea that noone creates a Pokerstars account in 2016 and immediately starts crushing at 100nl+. Surely it should immediately raise a red flag.
Would be interesting to here a pokerstars opinion on this but obviously lol never.

Tbf most of the guys come from nl50 after they crushed over pretty small sample but thats probably teh bot warmup period to see if it works.

Stars seemed abit more active last couple of months w their banfinger and it cant be in their interest (amayas interest) that there are guys taking 10bb++ after rake in 2016. That is a winrate which pretty much noone at nl6max achieved during the last 3 years and all of a sudden there are ALOT of those guys (exclusively) newer accounts. So i bet they are on it. Question is only if and when they pull teh trigger...

Would be helpful for someone to make a list of the new accounts suspected to be bots. Preferably someone who's put more volume in than me so far this year. I mean I have my suspicions with pretty much every unknown Belorussian that pops up but I don't have much of a sample on them yet to be more sure. I exclusively play 6max. Not sure if full ring has that big of a bot problem?

Yeah a lot of this new ACC are crushing 25nl for 2 or 300k hands and then move up to 50 and look to be moving up to 100 now. Theres no way some of them are not bots

Yep, it would be incredibly easy to add an extra layer of security that scrutinised certain accounts based on specific factors.

Last year I reported a reg for suspected MAing/Boting, and this example highlights just how slack Stars is. The account came out of nowhere and started playing 450k hands every month! How the f*ck is that type of action not flagged automatically?

There can be very few genuine new accounts that start playing and winning at 100NL+. All mid-to-high volume and/or winning players whose account can't be seen to have gone through an organic growth of grinding through the micro-stakes over a number of months need to be automatically flagged and investigated.

There is a slight chance that someone was crushing other sites and only now joined stars but yeah for the most part its a clear red flag.

like 1:billion chance every poker player has pokerstars account

I believe hellf1re666 is one of them as well. Can someone who has a subscription to Russian PTR confirm? At least whoever is behind it has a sense of humour...

inb4 next bot caught is Notabot777

id be very surprised, this guy has changed his playstyle over the years and he went through a period where he was a massive loser iirc (went from being like 4bb at 200z to -5bb) and just seems like he tilts loads from my experience with him (although i've not played in his games for a while now).
