If she had gone up to them, acted dumb about poker and asked them what they were doing, they probably would have told her everything they were up to.

At worst, she could have figured it out for herself very quickly and gotten their screen names.

Let's say these guys are colluding on 100$ DONs and playing one at a time. Can someone figure out how much money they would stand to gain over whatever their regular ROI is? Because I think it's important to determine what they stand to gain from doing this. I understand that even if they make only an extra 10$ an hour it would still be cheating but figuring out how much they can make from this would make their motivations more clear, at least for me.

Bob Dylan lyrics sound better when rapped imo.

There's probably an interesting tangent here about the nature of observation. Just speaking for myself, I'd like to think I'm an observant person but it took me waaay longer that I would've thought possible to notice the multiple laptops. And after you see it, or it's pointed out to you, it jumps right out off the screen (that's a lot of godam laptops) but i'd be willing to bet it's not nearly the first thing anybody notices. Woteva, there are a bunch of interesting studies about the science of observation and people can google if they're interested.

Wow, very next post. Lolz. And obv i'm not laughing at you Isaac, I just mentioned I did the exact same thing. It's bizarre, isn't it?

VANDALS TOOK THE HANDLE

Oops, guess I didn't look closely enough at the picture. I hadn't noticed that there was more than one computer per person or that they were on aircards. That changes my mind entirely. They were probably doing something bad.

OK. I see now that it is not intuitively obvious to the casual observer.

• 3 players
• at least 6 computers
• at least 3 air cards (visible on computers 1 , 5 and 6)

And I apologize to Josem if I was too harsh.

64 days but ...

how are stars gonna investigate this?

so fked kids are this blatant and retarted, i just LOL at this post every time it is bumped in NVG

^^ This /thread

There are other businesses with wifi in the area.

I know plenty of people who use air cards in public, because a normal wireless connection in a cafe, or shop is either insecure, or so slow you're at risk of disconnection.

Do you know plenty of people that simultaneously use two laptops with air cards in public?

Do you know plenty of people that simultaneously use two laptops with air cards in public sitting together with two other people that are also using two laptops with air cards?

Do you know plenty of people that simultaneously use two laptops with air cards in public sitting together with two other people that are also using two laptops with air cards and they're logged into PokerStars on all 6 laptops?

So yeah, using an air card in public doesn't mean you're cheating. Do it with 3 people across six different laptops and things aren't looking good.

It's unsettling that someone from Pokerstars looks at this picture and basically says "Pfffffffff" and that when they decide their might be something fishy going on there's not much they can do about it.

Not suggesting this isn't collusion, just implying simply owning an air card isn't suspicious in itself. The behaviour displayed certainly looks questionable. That said, it's a little silly that this is morphing into a Pokerstars bashing thread. What exactly would you expect them to do in this situation? There isn't sufficient evidence to conclude that something counter to Stars T and C has taken place, nor to identify those involved.

I go to that Borders maybe once a month, the gambling section is behind the light colored wall. Anyone think they might show up again?

In another forum i browse some guy posted a thread looking for fellow chip dumpers on pokerstars and nobody said a thing business as usual. 2+2ers have no idea how bad cheating is. Every tournament you play you need to decrease your odds to take into consideration taking on teams of chip dumpers.
