this is SICK_ either bots playing or players abusing a deposit bonus or something but.... go to 2-7 single draw .25 .50 cent table Halley and see for yourself...... every hand is the same... they are all from same place with weird screenames all under 6 letters EVERY HAND EVEYRONE IS LIMPING TO THE GUY BEFORE THE BUTTON and the button always flat calls then they draw and then check/ button bets and scoops the pot... this is siiiiiick!

over and over it goes:

pskta wins then....
vmoe
iasl
kosds
skuhe
azomkes
dmkse

and just repeats same process over and over... cant be coincidental

Now it's another pattern repeating. Don't you think it's just a test of some sort?

The pattern now is limp-limp- raise to $3, next man call, all other folds..

every pot is getting raked .40. they can't be clearing any bonus this way can they?

it is strange though. all chinese players afaik.

agree, only deposit bonus-abuse would make sence. but they still loose i guess. they pay rake and usually rake is higher then the bonus-amount until its cleared, right?

so they must be quite stupid. dont tell them

def. looks like some weird ****. All locations are from China?

And just like that it's over

this would also be the most bizarre organized chip dump in history. they all just simul left.

lol... and literally they all left @ the same time... how gross... i think its one guy with 5 labtops or something... so sick... imagine it in a 9 person sng..? god online is getting grosser and grosser day by day
and lol@ stars if they say"standard" to this

Yeah that was bizarre. Buy something nice with my 20$ mkay

I stuck notes on them to watch for them seated together in the future but it's so lol they should almost be auto-excluded from playing with each other from now on.

mmmkay gn. 5 star thread.

this was posted a few days ago and they were reported. stars support came back and said they believed they were abusing the deposit bonus program and would be dealt with. i imagine the scam is being done on a much larger scale though. stars also said in the reply they did not believe them to be bots

VPP's are (if i remember correctly) awarded to each person at the table dealt into the hand when a minimum rake of 40cents is accumulated.

I could also be wrong about this, but i think the bonuses are 10x, meaning you need 10 for every dollar.


at a 7max table, about 70 cents worth of bonus is released for the 40 cents in rake collected. they're pulling about 30 cents a hand if im right about the things above, plus whatever value the FPP comes to (negligable probably).

You should email Stars and point them to this thread.

No need to do that, our security team is already aware of the issue.

DAYUM!!! p-stars is like Santa Claus... they see yo ass!

Wat.

He knows when you've been bad or good so be good for goodness' sake.
ooooohhhhhhhh!!!!!!
You better watch out
You better not cry
