Yea im talking 2/4+. the collusion at those stakes is likely pretty unsophisticated/by players who are doing it wrong/losing money anyway because of awful play

Im basing this opinion mainly on 2 things:

1. Results
2. Complaints

If there is rampant collusion esp 5 6c plo nobody would win. Also most pros now spot collusion v quickly after 4 years asian app exposure. I never heard collusion complaints about pokerbros from good players and also results dont indicate it.

Will there be collusion? Definitely but so far it's a very minor concern in rgds to pokerbros

you also have to consider that colluding is basically a chinese national sport by now and always has been. back in the days on pokerstars they colluded double or nothing sngs so badly that pokerstars restricted to 1 chinese per table for a long time which i think never was implemented for any other nation. I don't know what's the reason for this but most westerners draw the line to get an edge at some point and that line is usually drawn at "i dont sit 3 accounts the same table to increase my edge" where in china this doesn't seem to be the case. So an app which has predominantly US/western traffic will in almost all cases have less issues with collusion compared to are apps which are mainly driven by chinese/asian traffic. This also isn't me trying to bash chinese it's just general observations I have made over the last couple of years in this space

Yeah I used to live there, a friend of mine completely shamelessly told me he colludes on pokermaster like he was talking about the weather. It's almost like you aren't trying if you aren't colluding, to a lot of those guys.

the same like you spot it anywhere else.

colluders are usually 1 person sitting a table with several accounts.

he/they should have very similar stats, come at the same time and leave at the same time, usually won't be very chatty because they are afraid to give away info due to this, if you throw stuff at them they might feel caught and again leave straight away, if they have connection problems all the accounts will disconnect and reconnect at the exact same time. also can look for hands that don't make any sense, obvious squeeze plays, accounts being ALOT over EV due to card removal, accounts never play big pots vs each other, etc etc

IME PokerBros cares about game security and investigates sketchy behavior. Biggest issue is that six card plo on a club is a honey pot to cheaters.

^^^^^

the tables i've suspected of having cheaters have all had two or three of the players with the same stats and the stats are the type to be juicing pots. Think 80/60 players.

you literally get warning strikes (i did) for even talking about chinese cheating on 2+2 as its seen as "wrong" or some ****, like the mods literally deny reality, so ill be quick and blunt. at least theres you guys here also discussing it, maybe they will grow a few IQ by reading this thread.

in China, anything you can do to win, including collusion and cheating, is seen as normal and actually not frowned upon by the masses there.

cheating to win is winning there. if you arnt cheating you arnt TRYING HARD ENOUGH. Its ****ed but true. if you can cheat and win its the same thing as playing legitimately and winning in china. the culture in china is completely different and ive said for years they should be literally locked into playing with only other chinese for videogames, poker, everything competitive.

As you know, you received the infraction for your xenophobic and racist remarks about the Chinese and Brazilians.

its good advice but impossible for me to track this stuff on iphone and the coolest aspect of this app is I can play wherever i am- its made public transportation nearly enjoyable.

Ive played 12k hands here and I haven't been suspicious of my NL cash tables, but some of the PLO and MTT's Ive played have been suspicious.

I know a local club that runs 1/2 HE and 1/2/5 PLO / PLO8. They rake $6 a hand. There is no rakeback.

How does the person running this club justify this? I’ve heard him claim how expensive it is to send chips, but it seems like straight up robbery. Overhead can’t be that much.

^^

I mean it IS expensive in the beginning to buy chips upfront.You need to buy diamonds, change to chips, every transfer you do to agent accounts, player accounts and inbetween the clubs eat chips as fees from the overall club deposit (same like PPP) But at some point running such a game pays off in the end with the rake.

care to explain that? are you saying no cashout fees? I take it there would be very little rakeback then?

Been grinding on one of the major unions on bros. I can't seem to find an emulator that won't periodically crash on me. Does anyone have any suggestions or tips and tricks to set one up so that it won't crash. If someone could point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it. If there was disconnect coverage it wouldn't matter but I've had a few hands folded out now because of this and that hurts.

I got my old PC back and I'm About to cleaninstall Windows.

The PC is kinda old and I'm not sure if the power will be enough for more then 4 Emu's. (I wanna open 6-8 without lagging)

specs are as follows:

http://speccy.piriform.com/results/C...HcVDapFtrFSeFN

Is it worth to upgrade some parts ? If yes, what ?

thanks
