Jessica Welman posted this on Twitter yesterday. For those who don't know, she works for Bluff Magazine and is a co-host of The Poker Beat on PokerRoad Radio.

There are 3 guys @ Borders each playing Stars on 2 laptops. Can't be on the up and up... http://twitpic.com/2a74gv



She definitely should have gone up to see if these guys were playing at the same table. I'm sure they would have been more than happy to show an interested female what they were doing.

They don't appear to be hiding it.

If they were cheating, wouldn't they be out in the parking lot?

They look like 2+2 poasters. Maybe they will tell us.

Given that they are likely using the Borders wireless connection, and thus would be coming from the same external IP to PokerStars, the software wouldn't let them be at the same table anyway.

Not saying there can't be collusion going on here, but it's not that likely they are all sitting at the same tables.

3 guys playing together = normal
3 guys using 2 laptops each = not normal

Player on right has two wireless cards plugged in to his computers.

I think I see at least 7:

1) two in front of the guy on the left
2) two in front of the guy on the right
3) the guy with the FTP hat, I see two by his left elbow and the bottom of one that he is looking at

It is possible that only one of them is using the Border's wireless connection.

At least 3 of the computers appear to have long-range wireless adapters visible. If that is true, they would all have different IP providers.







It would be nice to know the date and time that the photo was taken, and conformation of the Border's location.

This is a remarkable combination of:

a) passive-aggressiveness
b) hysteria
c) creepy stalkerness
