Seriously Dan, stop it. As long as there is no PROOF that they are bots you might accuse someone wrongly. Given thousands of regs, a 1% chance something like this can happen is A LOT. We all know it is not just a coincidence, but we need PROOF. So far we don't have it.
There are a lot of people working on this in the background, on Stars side and on ours. Give these people the time they need to do proper investigation. Until then just stop posting, just like the people working on this case do. Spreading more rumors and unproven suspicions helps nobody. You were not chosen to be the speaker of 2+2 or the regs affected. Let people do their work, if the results are not acceptable then we will have to consider going to the press etc., but it's not time for that yet. You really put the work of some people here in danger with your tiltwriting. I don't care who you know or what your job was or is, just back off for the moment please.

Great song Samanta, I it.

Would you like to share with us what kind of software do you use for postflop decisions? Do you know the other guys that play identical? Maybe you guys have like a skype group or something to study the game together?

Ben sulky commented it's definitely a bot ring. Who's he? Probably the best PLO player in the world. How many more regs and recs need to be screwed till they shut this bot scam down.
They obviously we're not allowed to play for a week or they all went on a cruise for the week on our money! Now back again. No official comment from pokerstars except an email sent to my wife stating this could take weeks?? So we all get bled dry for a few more weeks while they hope this thread dies a death. In a police investigation they would ban all suspects of what ever fraud until they are happy the suspects are innocent but this investigation is not finished maybe for weeks so hey let's make more rake and bleed the regs dry!
Makes me sick and the British media I think is now the only option open to stop all this cheating ****. Give the "integrity team" till Tuesday for an official long overdue statement then I'm putting it in the national press. You can then read all the findings in your Sunday paper. We can have the British serious fraud office shut this all down if they believe a large scale bot fraud is going on in the UK.

Any thoughts? If I put this in then would like input to give to a pal at the mail on Sunday.

Good luck at the felt unless these bots are sitting at the tables.
Angry emotion is weapon of weakness.

Are you trying to prove to everyone here that you know "Some people" that can do "something powerful" and therefore you are a cool guy who knows "some powerful people"? You want to impress someone here? From all of your last posts this is exactly what you trying to say.

THINK of how your post will look like in eyes of others when you write smth man.

Samantha, why not shed the light on the story by explaining your relations to the suspected accounts?

Samanta, how do you go from a losing SNG reg over 40k tourneys in 2010, when the games were easy to beat, to one of the best PLO player in a single day?

How come your old posts from 4 years ago have better english than your last one?

Hey Samanta, do you know BOOTTLEGGER? He suddenly stopped playing on Stars in February along with few other people on my list?



I suppose you never heard of him and work alone on your game just like seregaxx. Could it be that great minds think alike and two PLO200 crushers simply have to come up with the same strategy even when working independently and without any software?

I am sure you must have noticed that Fedor and seregaxx play exactly like you do, after all they are your 2 most frequent opponents according to the PTR screenshot someone posted. Have you ever wondered how they manage to have exactly the same postflop stats as you do?

EDIT:

The guy doing all the extra hands DBs is almost finished and I will soon post a lot more stats from HEM that are identical for active accounts from my list. Nothing fancy, basic stats from large samples. Stay tuned.

Well, he could at least state how many people of that list (if any) he knows personally/contacted through skype/shared strategy etc.

If he then states that he doesn't know anybody from that list we could use that info in the further investigation. If it turns out to be false it makes it much more likely cheating occured.

I have friends in russian community. Do you know somebody from it that it makes sense if I write the names here ?
So seregaxx and samantha81 were both counting cards before crushing 6-max plo?
(Or they have just one backstory?)

I guess that as BlackJack experts you have pretty good grasp how card removal can increase your edge especially on a single deck game.

Many poker players in Russia and outside of it know me. Schwain, why do you think I will tell anything regarding my strategy to an anonimous user.

Check the OP for evidence.

At this point you could show us the evidence they are rare 27 individuals who learned to crush 6-max plo about the same time and they spontaneously developed the same strategy which produces identical post flop game statistics.

Also explain how they made big strategy change simultaneously.
Could this all happen by chance to all 27 accounts in question?

16 of the 27 accounts mentioned have disappeared and Poker Stars has confirmed number of those accounts were in fact violating their ToS.

Do you have any ideas what the ToS-violations could've been?

16 players from the list of 27 names no longer print money on Stars PLO and PokerStars confirmed number of those players did in fact violated their ToS.

This by far the most likely e-mail those 16 account holders (or true beneficiariers) received:

the fact that bots was playing online its terrible,we all wish it was in 2025, maybe 2115 but AI-inteligente goes fast in 21 century, plus cheatears, scumbags, will always shows up in places w money . im surprised w the bots, but its something everyone expect to happen one day or another

but im sure everyone expect a good job by pokerstars and make this bots impossible to play when they shows up. this is the biggest stupid/deceptive/depressive/ridiculous/wrong/******ed/whateverbad/ thing in all this case : pokerstars .

how pokerstars is dealing w this bots its the worst thing . i never thought stars would handle this situation like they are doing... this is ridiculous, not aceptable .

tecnology, AI-inteligence, its fast, they will beat (or already beat) humans in lots of things, not only cards game. but if you ban this softwares, they won't play and we could have a honest, fair game .

its not 1 or 2 accounts, its not they small winner for 1-2 months... its LOTS of accounts, many of the biggest winners playing for 1-2years ...

and look what pokerstars , pathetic, stupid etc. i dont know words in english to describe how bad is this

Didn't know a winning 6-max plo bot existed. I guess i was wrong.

Have the funds been seized? Has anyone of them came out with some sort of protest?

You might have been deserving of a proper answer if you werent scared to write from your own account. But instead you hide behind a fake and try to get actual players to support your very poorly thought out "petition"?
Thanks, but no thanks.

Sorry for the derail, but its frustrating how this very important topic gets polluted with ridiculous propositions or comments.
