I posted only those that are still around, I am not protecting anyone.

A massive thank you to potbet, somehow I missed one of those guys (IPushmyPrius). And yes I played with him and he has BB Agg equal to overall Agg and 3bet equal to sqz. (makes it 6 out of 6)

I am attaching a screenshot of him and another account from zoom 100.



They are both gone, I just hope its because they got caught.

i was kinda sceptical at first, but this is ringing alarm bells all over

this is just ridiculous, I am becoming paranoid, 80% of the most winning players on plo100-200, even some 400+ regs are bots?!? If true, I don't think I would be able to trust a poker site again...

In my opinion (based on many hands played against most of the players mentioned here) it's very unlikely they are all use a full automated bot. Can confirm Serega tilting/playing very aggressive on a heater and Fedor chatting once in a while/adjusting his plays frequently (not the best indicator against being a bot but worth mentioning).
At the same time I also can confirm the striking stat similarities in some postflop scenarios. But also different stats in others.
I think it's most likely that they use the same training source or share strategies. Might also be that only some of them are bots or neither of them. But unlikely that they all are. But just my opinion, not ruling anything out.

The bots from PLO100 were banned in february and march. Looks like Prius and Stud were banned around the same time. Maybe thats why a bunch og zoom regs got refunds as well...?

Can you confirm they were banned, and didnt simply stop playing? Not doubting, just asking.

Someone posten an e-mail in the thread in SSPLO, where Stars acknowlegded players had been banned. But no specific names where mentioned. All the russian bots stopped playing in february and march tho. So educated guess saus they got banned

I dont understand much about stats and data but i can not believe that this is true

also saw some of the guys chatting while playing

That only means a human is present at all times, or sometimes.

That really depends on the program, but in general they are anything but fine about it.

I dont think they are fully automated, but its a bit irrelevant what I think, I will try to stick to the facts and leave the speculations to others.

Oink just confirmed Stars banned half of these guys and the rest will follow now. I fully trust Stars to do whatever they can to protect the integrity of the games and you should do the same.

Pleased to hear it. I dont recognize you from the tables, are you Russian by any chance or know any of those accounts in person?

I dont have a problem with Russians in general, there are legit and honest Russian players that are beating the games, for example ItsMyTurrn or Shuller_A1t and many others.
Its not like I have a vendetta against one nation and lump them all together.

I was on my phone. Here is a copy paste of the emial Stars sent FreeWilly.

Hello xxxxxx,

Greetings from PokerStars.

At the outset, I would like to apologise for the length of time it has taken for us to get back to you on this matter. Please understand that this was a particularly complex investigation. We are unable to comment on an investigation that is ongoing, and we wanted to take the time to ensure that we reached the correct resolution.

We are now able to confirm that we have closed a number of these accounts which were found to be violating our Terms of Service. If you were deemed to have been harmed by unfair play as a result of these violations, you should have received a compensatory credit by now, as well as an email notifying you of the credit.

Thank you once again for taking the time to write to us with your concerns. We want a clean game just as much as you do - both PokerStars and you directly benefit from honest and fair games, and we want to work constructively with you (and anyone else, for that matter) to ensure that our games are fair.

If you have any other questions or concerns, please let us know. Best of luck at the tables!

Regards,

Ian Y

No names are confirmed. However, I think its safe to assume, that said players are the ones who stopped playing.

Players who stopped playing after crushing:

totalsuccess (Russia)
topdog669 (Russia)
thoughtsaway (Russia)
RichardLionH (Russia)
smellurbux (Russia)
Razdavay7 (Kazakhstan).
Phantorin (Kazakhstan).

And now

IPushMyPrius and DRNKStud

Gonna go barbecue, get drunk and watch Juve **** all over Messi now. Apparently Chiellini is out, so Suarez prolly already had his dinner

in before Josem claims stars knew about it

I'm Shuller.

From looking around and talking to people over on russian forums i can confirm with almost 100% certainty that Samanta is a legit human grinder. He has a blog there which he updates regularly, plays some mtt's as well.

samanta is a human 99.9%, some plays are really strange and seem tilty but im concerned about some of the other accounts...

I play against those accounts a lot, happy to help if needed. Pretty skeptical that those accounts are bots but I really appreciate the work some of you put in this.

Yes anyone can help.

I need someone who played alot of hands with the already banned accounts to step forward and post.

(BB Agg, Overall Agg) and (3bet,sqz)

for the following accounts:

totalsuccess (Russia)
topdog669 (Russia)
thoughtsaway (Russia)
RichardLionH (Russia)
smellurbux (Russia)
Razdavay7 (Kazakhstan).
Phantorin (Kazakhstan)
IPushmyPrius
DRNKStud

Please dont post if you have less then 5k hands on them (filter for 6 handed only).

BB Agg=Overall Agg and 3bet=sqz is true for all of 6 accounts that are in my DB, even though its extremely rare for any other winning player. I provided evidence here http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...3&postcount=24

I play and played against accounts in OP, not these. Have like 10k hands on some of them.

Its pretty ****ing disgusting, I bet Stars didnt even know about it until the players have to dig it up these scum-****s with EXTENSIVE research.

Yet Pokerstars claims to spend millions to deter cheaters and bot users. LOL. The number of bots that exist still on Stars in low stakes is probably staggering.

Anything to save a buck, Amaya?

I've been wondering what happened to Prius. The account used to play a lot. It definitely seemed to tilt and change strategy sometimes.

Seregaxx is not a bot. Used to chat with him. He writes not prewritten answers.
Plus i see him monkeytilting previously.
Emperor is suspicous at least he never chats but based on his timing i would say he is not a bot but obv it is not that huge evidence.
Regarding zoom regs i dont have any info.

+1. I've seen Samanta tilt for sure.

I think they sharing hands or learning together but i doubt they would be bots.
But if you think the stats are so close or shows so many similarities than they should be bots.

I wonder how long until pokerstars have to implement an esea (for those of you familiar with counter strike) style client? for those who arent its an anti-cheat software that runs constantly in the background and has access to every file on your computer.

im big on privacy but if it allows me to continue making a living im down with it.

I dont have any stats due new comp and DB but pretty sure Pushmyprius and Susanin arent bots - they were both terrible. doesnt mean they werent breaking other TOS to get banned though

What i think they mean is that someone else created the bots, and has people hired to play out the actions and do like a 30-70/50-50 or whatever split, the 9-5 is just the job of people who click buttons

Yes.. and if i remember correctly he opened tables as well. what kind of bot can open a table to play hu and than play3-6 handed game with good strategy??? I am really courious why he was banned but maybe cardsharing? Or some kind of collusion ?

This all sounds really scary.

Tilting and replying in chat does not necessary have to mean those acounts are not bots. There could be a human monitoring all the bots and just randomly pick one acount each day to play himself ?! Or is this too far fetched?
