Y'all pretty much the only thing of value I've gotten out of internet sites which have outweighed the costs of the poor ways I've used things.
Hey, MT2R, I always saw you around here but never knew your story, some crazy stuff. Just started reading after seeing your last post.
Seeing that you worked at Stars security, I have a question. I used to play high stakes HU sngs across all sites up until early 2016 or so, although I prob had the lowest volume at stars. But seeing as these games were by far the worst affected from cheating from players who used RTA, and as such affected me personally a lot (even had a prop bet vs. a guy from a German bot ring , where I think they all got banned in the last 2 years, which I lost, but that was mostly due to running bad and not playing very well, not sure if he actually used RTA), I was wondering if you knew, to what extent stars was monitoring these issues at the time. That is users using bots/GTO software in real time.
Say in between 2014-2017 or so, did they have any idea the extent to which this was going on, and how good do you think you guys were at catching these type of people? I.e. the ones using RTA in any game, not colluders or things like that. Did anything ever happen to these people outside of getting accounts closed/money confiscated, like getting blacklisted from Stars live events/casinos etc.?
Do you think the stars security team was very competent/have enough resources to deal with the vast majority of cheating etc. or would a lot of such things pass under the radar most of the time (unless there were some people who sent in evidence like the disgruntled cartel member thread in NVG).
Do you think that going forward, security will be more lax and cheating issues will be more commonplace, i.e. more lax security now that it seems they have budget cut that department? Or is stars reputation enough of a deterrant to prevent the majority of these incidents.
Not sure if you can even talk about these issues, but would be cool if you can give some info on it.
