NP guys! While we are talking Susaninn playing 4 tbls plo200 zoom!

Anyway agree with Zsipali. If its true maybe time to take some serious decisions..
I mean some of us lost 10+, 20k+ against these accounts and get 200$ back from Stars.
Plus the software is ready you can just change some parameters next time with new accounts... so sick.

*edit
emperor playing all reg tbls now from 100-200..
did stars get anything from you?
Main thing would be to freeze at least those accounts !

The bots would not have a chance imo. ^^

Does not FedorZaysev have a positive winrate over a high amount of hands at 5-10? Afaik no other account that are suspected as a bot/whatever plays that high. He also battles really tough regs HU, like d2themfi etc.

that's a lot easier when you know for sure you'll print money at lower stakes

A large DB alone isnt worth anything. The only way to find out if they are card sharing is to create a DB with hands where there were always 2 or more of them at the same table. I dont know how to do it using HEM, I am sure its doable but requires some SQL coding skills.

Once you prepare such DB of hands you can check how much above EV they are and calculate the Sigma, if its above 4 then they are sharing without a doubt.
I have SQL coding skills but am not familiar with the structure of HEM or PT4 (I use PT4) databases. Will try and write something to extract hands where 2 or more of these accounts are at the same table at some point (couldn't work out how to do it immediately from the PT4 interface; if someone knows, let me know please).

Am aware holecard sharing is just a hypothesis but I think it's worth checking and doubt it's that hard to implement in bots, if all the info is being sent to a centralised server.

The stats can be found here http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...25&postcount=5

I found 10+ more accounts. Posting only those that play on daily basis.






I strongly believe those arent fully automated. The playing schedule of the ones on zoom would suggest, that they are operated by humans working a 9 to 5 and 5 days a week job. (some sort of PLOSnowie?)



How to find bots using your own HEM database, a 3 step guide.

Step 1. Go to opponents tab, filter out for most hands played and sort by postflop Agg %. They should be sitting right next to each other like a big happy family. Anyone with postflop Agg% between 38.5 and 41.5 should be checked manually.



Step 2. Check all the other stats, if c/r flop is really high and equal to c/r turn and 3bet is equal to sqz (wtf?) they are a prime suspect.



Step 3. Ask someone with a Russian PTR account to check for final confirmation.

Thats more or less what I did. Thanks to Oink and Grethe and the guy that provided me with access to Russian PTR so I could dig up some dirt.



Bonus step. Go report to PokerStars.

Oh man! I play these guys about 3 days a week & fedor just does not lose that often. The usernames you have given seem to be online 24/7. Fedor having changed his avatar a few tiles and this sergeax guy the same in fact all those you mention I've had suspicions that something is not right with any of them. The same guys/bots insta sit in with full stacks as soon as I'm on a new table with two normal regs who I don't see 24/7.

These guys play me at PLO from $1/2 up to $2.50/5.00 on zoom PLO.

I refuse to play these guys anymore as I've won like 1 out of 20 6max PLO games when they all sit in. I could have the nuts all the way to the last river card and boom 1 outed or two outed with at times pre-flop re raising and all in against what they know I have xAAx and it's the same straight or flush or two pair that beat it or they have xKKx and of coarse they get a king on the flop or the river cards. These guys are deep stacked and fedor always disappears after winning 2 or 3 buy ins. Sergeax has large stacks of 2-5 buy ins per table he's on and these guys just never lose.

I would love pokerstars to investigate the OPS Claims for any kind of cheating as they are 24/7 players With incredible win rates.

Good luck at the felt all.

Realistically is there anything pokersites can do to prevent this?

Sad sad times seeing the winrates and amount of "bots" that are being undetected by stars which is suppose to have top tier security.
TY to everyone that contributed to this topic is been an eye opener for sure.

seems to work now, was somehow deleted when i posted before, so hopefully i´m not a suspect...
was just saying would be insane if this were true, and if someone thinks there is a chance stars might get shut down just like tilt back in the days...

Small distance means accounts are super similar, large distance means they are very different.

I will make this spreadsheet public on Google docs on Tuesday, as promised earlier.

for example watch N@T@L@Ts zoom/last few months stats instead of zoom and normal tables, he was palyin very different way at first when he appeard and i played lot HU with him too when he was new. samanta81 changed his game style verymuch also when he jumped to zoom tables from normal tables, lot of minbets and donkbets and stuff what he did not do in normal tables. IpusMyPrius was a huge nit long time when he came to pokerstars, and his style was veryvery differerent when got banned. there is still a human(s) behind this everything and knows his bots cant play exactly same way every hand, same thing as pros are balancing their ranges. same thing on MDU so can you filter his databise too or something?they both are still playing verybad and shouold not be playing as reg in 500zoom.

Chatting is -zero- counterevidence. The botters that got busted on svenska spel have been to trial now. They ran 8+ accounts and won close to 7 figures in $ before being busted. They chatted with the opponents through their phones remotely. They built in key words to get highlighted from, like their handle "wp", "nh" etc so they could respond accordingly if needed. All this is in the open docs from court.

I noticed several suspicious account changed their playing style over night going from like 23vpip / 3% Bet to 30vpip/ 3% Bet around half year ago when I played. (And their super tight 3% 3B-range was balanced not only aces.)

99 % sure 4somniare,SuSaaNin and N@T@L@T are NOT a bots.

100% sure MDU is NOT a bot.

we talked about this first time over year ago because FEW REGS INC. ME HAVE NOTICED THAT OVER YEAR AGO they are not playing fair. i have played very close 2m vpps on PLO100-600 with those "bots" so dont you think i take my suspicions from the air. support did nothing when we reported them first time (we did report prius for example) and at late as now he is banned. here is my hud and isnt it a bit weird if their every stat are veryvery close each other on that and in pop ups also? any good regs does not have even close as similar stats as players that i mentioned. vpip and pfr could be pretty far of each other with some players but those are balanced on samekind of way with postflop stats ans stuff.

Maybe you didn't understand that I am with you here.

I found it extremely suspicious that several nitty (pre-flop)balanced accounts go from playing vpip 23 to vpip 30 almost over night, simultaneously, keeping their balanced 3B range at 3%.

It seems there's a lot of bots using same strategy with different VPIP, and agression etc. but their ratios are matching and differ from legit regs..
(For example squeeze/3B ratio, BB agression ratio.)

Can we get this done asap? ^^^

Is this the type of thing we should petition for? If it actually works...

Personally, I have a laptop i use exclusively for poker, if you're worried about personal info, do the same, the only thing stars will discover is that they have a lot of competition from other sites

But all these accounts did not adjust at all and their 3b vs hero stat is pretty much the same as their overall 3b number.
Guessing if the bots fail to adjust to styles of diff regs as well as position then comparing stats vs particularly tight regs could be a good way to find some more evidence.
