But if you think the stats are so close or shows so many similarities than they should be bots.
The "they are just a group of players that studies poker together" was mentioned a few times. To begin with, 17 accounts is a rather large group, and 10 of them already got banned, 9 mentioned by Oink here
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...7&postcount=35 and BOOTTLEGGER.
I have spend a good amount of time looking for them and checking a list of 20 stats I found most relevant (Cbet, FvCB, checkR, AFQ) on flop, turn and river. Steal CO, steal BTN, WTSD, 3bet&sqz, Agg BB, Agg, postflop Agg.
The accounts I have posted have a striking similarity on all of those 20 stats. I havent found a single account that has half of the stats like they should be and the other half all over the place.
So if it was a study group, every single one of them did perfectly adjust his stats from day 1, so they ideally line up. Can you believe that? Because I cant. I am really good with numbers but I couldnt get my stats to look like that if my live depended on it, maybe some of them or most, but not all of them.
To further research the study group theory I had checked various groups of players I suspect might study poker together, for example the Hungarians or random Malta accounts and cross checked their stats. Nothing interesting there.

Exactly.
