Yea sorry to all legit regs who got color coded. I did not mean it as statement.
Seems like purple'K there too.
I think big part on that list are bots or using some AI..
Re: Massive bot ring on PokerStars and how to spot them
My read is that Pastafiore is in some way related to the bot ring and he is just randomly posting this stuff to complicate the thread , someone should look in to that

My wife plays these guys under the name
Dandan160808 & I also played them & I could never work out why they would go all in with say one Mediocre pair after tanking & then a disconnection. I just told my wife what's going on and she knew these guys or bots are not for real as I'd hear "not another crazy shove where sergeax or Fedor play crazy and win most of the time. It's mainly Eastern European players at $1/2 - $2/4 that bum hunt her. Now my wife can win live or when the big pokerstars crash happened and none of these bots were at the tables when pokerstars went down for a few days. This is one of a few times she made a profit. She told me she can turn $100 in to $500 Witt not too much problem over two days but when she ups stakes she lasts no longer that 20 mins max and gets a hand like xAAx beaten by 79JK so of coarse out comes an 8 plus a 10 or two pairs or a set? Or a runner runner flush. She's told me there are a couple of players she will name when she plays again soon on the $.50/1 and as low as $.25/.50
She says she's played pastafiore & he just is too damn good and picks his spots and makes good reads but I have seen some guys playing $1/2 on zoom with up to 1000BB!! Same player with 4 entries in zoom with huge stacks on each zoom PLO entry at the same stakes!!
I play all sites but my wife is well pissed that her account DanDan160808 which is named after our son Daniel born on the 16/08/08 just can't move up in stakes even if she's starting a table, the same 24/7 alleged bots just sit in every game until she sits out. Also she states that when 2 or 3 of them are at the same table and she leaves then everyone leaves except other recreational players who are lined up next to get beaten.
I play personally anything from $.05/.10 up to $10/20 as I play a lot of live games.
Are any answers coming from pokerstars yet? I would like these guys suspended until a full enquiry takes place.
Best wishes at the felt all & keep out of the way of these super user alleged bots.

Check-Raise (HU pots) flop = over 15
Flop Fold to CB vs 1, SRP = less than 46
This is the list I got:
Games PLO ZOOM $25-$200
That doesnt prove anything. Lets not get carried away and start accusing anyone with aggressive stats. C/R more than 15% of flops in HU pots and folding less than 46% to cbets in HU SRP is pretty standard. Having a vpip in 15-34 is obv std as well.
When you run that query you just get a bunch of aggro regs. Dont mean they are bots.
My vpip is slightly above that, but otherwise my stats fit right in. Fairly sure I am not a bot
Re: Massive bot ring on PokerStars and how to spot them
dudes no matter if your "wife" is really your wife or just an alias for your 2nd account, can you just please stop this **** and keep the thread somehow clean? this is some really sick issue so we should put trolling/joking aside for a moment and concentrate on the important stuffs. ill go ahead and send this thread with a smallish text to the stars support and hope other high volume 100+ players do the same.
Re: Massive bot ring on PokerStars and how to spot them
FWIW I found some hands from my 3.5k sample of more than one of these accounts on the same table where they are playing super aggro vs each other, not sure this proves anything either way.

There is the squeeze/3B ratio and BB/SB 3bet ratio, that is pretty rare among "normal" regs... all of those stats have to be in the range. You are pretty far to fit to this color coding.

Re: Massive bot ring on PokerStars and how to spot them
some good stuff and a lot of ****ty stupidly expressed speculations in here. ty for highlightning this! u guys who expresses and feels like u r certain about your thing in here, check yourselves, would u bet a big amount on this being the truth? do u have any evidence? otherwise, EXPRESS IT!
a lot of silly claims. as ppl has said, lets make this properly without any speculations of the kind there has been here.
pastafiore for example, wtf. your hard claims without any proper explanations are something to be ashamed of.
some of my knowledge.
i personally dont think F.edorZayse.v or S.amanta.81 are bots or cheaters of any kind (any more at least) although there are suspicious stuff lurking around them.
They played extremely alike stats a year+ ago, then they just stopped playing each other. this was a while after ive asked them in the chat if they knew each other without any answer (if i remember correctly)
nowadays samanta plays a completely different kind of game from what ive seen. (shuller_alt said earlier in this thread for those who missed that samanta has a frequently updated blog)
fedor is weird by only playing reg 6-max tables between the stakes 200-1k for a long time, no deep or zoom until recently when i saw in the lobby (i dont watch this pool more than once every two weeks probably) that he 2-tabled 200 zoom.
this is what ive observed and experienced.
ive played about 4M hands of PS omaha since november 2012 and is still waiting for my first refund, unheard of? =)
Re: Massive bot ring on PokerStars and how to spot them
I've done a lot of coaching over the last couple of months, so I had to look at a lot of stats.
The majority of my students 3bet more from BB than from SB (as suprising and illogical as it was to me), so it doesnt really show anything condemning

Ok I agree and thank you. I know it's no joke when this has been going on a long time.

You are right. I dont squeeze enough.
However, that wasnt my point. This is huge and potentially a bit of a scandal. But lets not go around accusing anyone who is aggressive.
The banned accounts have a lot of common traits. Most notably they are russian or from another country from the former Sovjet. So lets start by cutting Canadian and Hungarian accounts a break before we put them out to try for being bots.
Re: Massive bot ring on PokerStars and how to spot them
It appears to be a consensus among a lot of the regs that fedor is really awful and constantly makes bad plays. Now either he just knows something we don't and we are all wrong, or there is something shady going on.
Oh and I don't play HU almost ever but there have been a couple times when I've gotten HU with Fedor after everyone else has left that table and he has sat me out after not too long saying "Brb" or something along those lines. I can't remember a time when he actually came back and played after that, but I may also have left the table some times before he got a chance.
I always thought this was a bit odd because I generally only played him HU when I was tilting or stuck a bunch since I don't consider myself to be a very strong HU player. I thought it was weird he was leaving during our HU because he was generally crushing me when this was going on. This could be nothing but curious if anyone else has had a similar experience with him

4somniare is listed as Germany btw, but he's the most suspicious IMO.

I don't think country is that big of a tell.
Bot operators have to find identities from all around the world.
That list wasn't supposed to be a statement just to narrow down the field.
Two guys so far who found themselves on the list didn't seem pissed.
If someone on the list wants I can remove them from the screenshot.
(Not the point but even removing squeeze ratio wouldn't give you that color.)
