so not only can you see more than you think, they are pretty damn accurate as well.
They what, "had him on the phone" ?

Did they prosecute ?

Did your friend get is money back ?

What casino/card room ?

Did you actually stay there? If not, the review should be removed. If you did you should protest the removal.

Should i be somewhat worried? -.- Fortunately i play mtts. Intriguing nonetheless.
I was there aswell, my roomkey didnt work directly after check in so probably malfunction.

This.

It seems to me plenty of time has passed; there should be a statement of some sort from Stars.

What has that got to do with anything. TripAdvisor have no idea if I stayed there or not. They sent me an email which I disagree with. The post was very detailed... Here is said email:

Let's see. Bunch of first timers put in practically identical reviews. Pretty clear case of non-visitors doing what you were doing

Tripadvisor needs to be on guard against bogus reviews and unfortunately 2p2 campaign there fits the signs.

This whole PookLook2 issue is quite interesting. I find it quite strange FTP simply says "There is no evidence of wrong-doing by this player" although the same player was suspected of wrong-doing just a few months earlier. Very incompetent by FTP, isn't it?

Yeah, you're right. I suppose though that they just briefly watched the hand histories of his latest X hands, to check if he was colluding or making strange plays. But most likely he didn't perform strange plays to one who just looks briefly at some hands, nor did they find it strange he was seating with the complainer, in this time where bumhunting and hit 'n run players are not so scarce. I guess they just thought him to be a good player, who received complaints because people could not understand why he was so good, not knowing that he could actually see his opponents hole cards. This would be my guess....

What tneva82 said. A legitimate review is from someone that actually visited and experienced the property. You did not so you are not qualified to leave a review.

You think that someone should be able to leave a book review on Amazon without reading the book? "I am leaving this review because my friend said it it was terrible." That would also, correctly be removed, no matter how eloquently they put it or how much detail they included.

Forgive me if this has been asked/answered: Have you been able to check your online poker accounts, bank accounts, etc.. to see if your $ is still in there or if any transactions have been made?

Wait, what?

As a pretty regular user of TripAdvisor, the last thing I want to be reading is a bunch of reviews by people who never stayed at the hotel.

Reviews without a substantive account of the traveller's experience might be a tipoff.

And they even offered a way for you to get a review back on there. I fail to see the problem.

Most unbelievable thing in the all story is that he is one of the highest stakes playing player in the world, buys tickets to space but grinds on a 2004 broke ass laptop...

Is the laptop back from getting inspected? As a Greek American, this worries me.

Clearly the silence on this topic now is SOP. I'd be surprised to get anything from Stars. Hopefully op at least let's us know the results of the computer check, but I feel even that won't reveal anything of substance.
