The thing that might've gotten us caught was later that day when I had enough money i dumped him the 10 back.
I honestly wouldve just used the transfer option
Dude, seriously... Just shoot them an email explaining you're new to online poker (at least it sounds like you are to me). Apologize and tell them you honestly didn't know about the transfer option. No impropriety was meant and ask them if they will consider reinstating your account after a reasonable time. The nice thing about pstars is that there's a real human being who reads and responds to emails. If you explain your ignorance and that it was an honest mistake I think they'll do it for you.

It may just be an innocent transfer of $10 today, but this is exactly how people get started on money laundering.

What's next? $20? $30? Before you know it you'll be up to triple figures, and then there's no turning back.

People like you make me sick.

Jaywalkers all turn into serial killers. I couldn't agree more.

Give the guy a break.. he's new and didn't know any better.

Reckless walking today is exactly how people get started on reckless driving.

What's next? A skateboard? A bicycle? Before you know it you'll be up to motorbikes, and then there's no turning back.

I thought the first one was funny.

Perhaps the second one wasn't as funny, more stupid, but a little funny all the same in an alternative comedy type of way.

Here's a hint: You're probably just not smart enough to get it.

If you were so busto that you needed $10, how did you have any money to bring to the table for him to dump against in the first place?

Seeing as it took 9 hands for a total of $10 to be dumped, he'd only need a starting roll of 2 cents to achieve this.

Ohhh alternative comedy. You mean the kind that's not funny?

Now I get it. You're very good at it.

I wouldn't say you only play tournaments, but yeah, you mostly play SNGs.

Of the 15 SNGs your friend has played, how many of them were with you at the table?

(BTW, everyone knows your screen name too, and you should tighten up a ton and stop spew-bluffing your stack off, imo)

Let me put it this way- hypothetically, if someone was a losing micro-stakes player and, hypothetically, if they were also capable of making f*cking embarrassing threads such as this:

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/28...it-2p2-260879/

...then they may not be smart enough to get it.

Here's a hint: That was all just hypothetical. (It would be hard to find someone that f*cking stupid.)

Thanks for the advive guys. I realize i put myself in this situation for no reason and will learn from it. I had no idea it would look like this. Im just gonna hope maybe when the check clears and they know the money is good they unlock my account./thread

I'm trying to understand the point of this thread. They've asked you to explain the chip dumping, and you're asking us if you should explain it? What's your plan B, to ignore their request and hope for the best?

This was a one shot deal, did not happen before and will not happen again. I currently have about $100 in my account I'd potentially get screwed out of.
It doesn't make sense.First,why would you pay your friend if you got $90 in your account?Usually,people would do this if they have nadda in the account.Second,the minimum for deposits were lowered to $10 and not $20.Am I right? Anyway,if Pokerstars,cancels your account just for $10,it means there is something more in your story. Pokerstars usually is reasonable but strict when they find something fishy.

Dude I obv didn't have 90 in my account when I did this I am not that stupid. I won like $100 yesterday playing s and go's (0 with that player in question). You really thought I would think I would do that with 90 in my account?
w/e this thread is starting to piss me off with stupid posts like this making it seem (suspicious) i borrowed ten bucks from my friend

The e-check minimum deposit is now $20 just raised from $10 idk what you are talking about

I don't know what more you want to accomplish in this thread. Just email Stars with the info they requested (if you haven't already) and wait to hear back from them.

Dude, save the indignant tone. People chip dump $1000 when they have $20K in their accounts, so yeah, it's possible. I think most people, however, realized you had little in your account and subsequently went on a heater.

The over-the-top suspicious part is your friend deposited money on a new account and dumped to you; that's why Stars froze your accounts. This is also why I asked how many SNGs you both played together - nothing wrong with friends at the same table playing honestly, but it will delay your accounts being reinstated due to them having to parse through both your hands.

The email indicates they are not worried much about fraud. Others that have had their accounts frozen for suspected chip dumps always have the, "We presume that this was an innocent transfer of chips" omitted from the email since their preliminary investigation revealed a likely shady intention.

People need to seriously read the ToC when they install software. Yeah it's a wall of text but you agree to it when you click agree. So email them and explain like everyone is saying and if they banhammer you they banhammer you.

As consolation, I am going to have a small chuckle and roll my eyes every time I see a micro-$ chip dump thread from now on thanks to the incompetency shown in the Chiren debacle.

Stars is concerned about

1. someone just putting money in and dumping that money before the check clears.

2. That it might actually be profitable for 2 accounts in some sort of bonus + rake back situation.

3. Money laundering

4. when you transfer money to a friend, Stars security software will show those accounts as conected. So if you play sit n gos at the sme table as your friend you will set off certain security alarms. by chip dumping your by passing that security feature.
