reply from pokerstars:
Hello Matt,
Thank you once again for reporting your concerns to us. Although we do
monitor the games for collusion, we always appreciate vigilant players such
as yourself reporting any strange or unusual play to us for review. I have
completed my investigation into the accounts of the players "omere55"
and "nylonbk".
The first thing that we look for in such cases is a relationship between
the two players. In this instance, they both live in Istanbul, and they
have logged in at least once from a common computer or internet connection.
I then look for frequency of play together. I am looking to see if these
players seem to be seeking each other out. Although a high frequency of
play is not necessarily an indictment, it can be a harbinger of unethical
play. In this case, they do have an unusually high incidence of play.
With that said, the real question comes in the play of the tournaments. One
of the advantages of online poker is that there is a full record of every
hand, and after the fact, we can look through the hands with all cards face
up; as a result, cheaters cannot hide what they are doing.
I reviewed their tournament play with all cards face up, looking for any
forms of collusion. I did find that the players worked together or at least
attempted to work together in a few events. It appeared obvious that they
were sharing hole card information, stack balancing, and anything else they
could do to gain an advantage. Fortunately, they really weren't very
effective, and few events were affected.
I did find that you were affected, and as a result we have advanced you to
second place from your previous finish of fourth in T **********. You will
find a $****** credit in your account to reflect the new order of finish.
PokerStars cannot tolerate this type of malicious play, and as a result of
this report we have permanently closed these two accounts, and have banned
the players from ever playing at PokerStars again.
As you can see, we have a lot of tools at our disposal which help us keep
our games honest and fair. In addition, the thousands of honest, vigilant
players who point out situations that merit investigation are an important
part of our arsenal. Thank you for doing your part to protect the integrity
of our games.
Regards,
Randy
BUSTED!!!!!!!!
