PokerCollectif you reported in recent days that PokerStars had démentelé Chinese network cheats in SnG "double or nothing" kind.
This time it is a story of automated software (players robots) splashing giant PokerStars online game again.
This is again PokerTableRatings PokerStars who warned of this problem last month, informing that PokerStars' accounts 7emenov "," MVRA "," demidou "," feidmanis "," bakabar "," nakseon "," koldan "" craizer "," kozzin "and" daergy "were" bots ". These players were active at NL50, NL100 and NL200. They all had almost similar statistics: they played about 9% of hands preflop raise with a substantially similar (9% too). When they were in the BB in unraised pot (limpers only), or they pushed all-in and was a great recovery. If a player appellait this setting, the robot would ALWAYS folder to a bet. These players were marginally winners (about 0.3bb/100 hands), but they were able to play close to a million each hand. With such a strategy of "all-in or fold", it is hardly believable that such bots were able to win at NL200 ...
Quickly, PokerStars has blocked these accounts and they announced they were investigating. After a few weeks of investigation, PokerStars announced the permanent closure of accounts 12, two more than PokerTableRatings had reported. In total, these robots have won $ 74,439 in cash games. They also won $ 6,305 in VIP freerolls (these gains are likely to have been won by players behind these robots, not robots themselves). Although these bots were not particularly strong, they were still able to win large amounts through premiums offered by PokerStars via the VIP Club. So a total of $ 152,406 has been raised through this promotion.
PokerStars could not confiscate that $ 2,084 in cash and a value of $ 4,446 FPP, for a total of $ 6,530, with the remainder unfortunately been removed in time through these cheaters.
PokerStars has announced that they will compensate the affected players and redistribute the $ 80,744 of accumulated earnings experienced these robots. Thus, in 2384 the players will share $ 80,744 for an amount between $ 7.82 and $ 847.95 per credit joueur.PokerStars decided to only players who have played more than 5,000 hands against these bots to avoid a very large pool of players share negligible amounts.
