Fuji's blog

In December I sent stars a raged email about some collusion in a DON that I happened to catch at the end of my session.
"Zhangshuen and yanwei are colluding in $10.40 double or nothings. Check
tournament ID: 221071541 on the bubble,
zhangshuen folds purposely to save yanwei on the bubble, and they are both
from the same location. I am about 99.9%
sure this is collusion since zhangshuen is a competent player and knows
what he is doing. Please check the hand
histories and other games for cheating of this sort."

Anyway, yesterday, along with SC2's release, I got this bit of run good

Hello David,

First allow me to apologize for the delay in responding to your report.
PokerStars clearly acknowledges that our investigation team has not
performed up to its own standard of excellence in handling this case. In
saying that, the accounts you reported were indeed frozen in a very timely
manner and as such no further harm to honest players was possible.

We have concluded that the play of 'yanwei' and 'zhangshuen' violated the
integrity of our games. They have been informed that they are no longer
welcome to play on our site. In addition they were disqualified from events
in which their unfair play affected the outcome. Players who advanced as a
result have been compensated appropriately.

You were involved in several tournaments with these players. For
tournaments where you would advance "in the money" if a player you reported
was disqualified above you, you have been credited with $20.00. If,
however, disqualifying players did not result in you advancing "in the
money", you have been credited with a refund for that tournament of $10.40.
The total amount credited to your account is $195.20.

The integrity of the games at PokerStars is of paramount importance to us
and we will not abide unfair play in our games. We work hard to police our
games to assure our players of a fair, secure place to play. In the rare
cases where violations of our Terms of Service have occurred we make sure
that any players affected are compensated appropriately.

Please accept our thanks for your timely report and continued play here on
PokerStars. Please do not hesitate to let us know any time we can be of
help.

We found that your disconnection caused you to miss a few hands in each
tournament. Your loss in chips due to posting blinds and/or antes was not a
substantial portion of your stack in most tournaments.

Part of the inherent risk of playing poker online, is the possibility that
Internet connections or your computer may fail for any number of reasons.
From a practical business standpoint, it is impossible for us to be
responsible for the Internet connections of our players.

Please note rule 18 of the tournament rules located at:

http://www.pokerstars.com/poker/tournaments/rules/

This rule states, in part:

"18. By participating in a tournament, a player accepts the risk of Internet
disconnection, due to problems with the connection between their computer
and the servers, lag or freeze or some other problem in the player's
computer or the Internet.

* a. PokerStars does not accept any responsibility for a player
disconnect except in the case of a server crash."

Nevertheless, as we consider you a valued player at PokerStars we have
issued a one time credit of $230.00 to your account. Please note that for
the above reasons, we cannot make a practice of refunding tournament buy-ins
and hope to continue running profitable tournaments.

In closing, we appreciate your business and hope that you continue to enjoy
playing at PokerStars.

Regards,

Jordan J.

Long story short, My computer overheated from the desert heat while I was 40 tabling some mtt's/sngs. Pokerstars was kind enough to refund more than I actually lost (since I was able to ship a first place in a 180 man after the disconnect). I love this site.

First off, I'd like to say that I'm not a cash game specialist. However, I am pretty competent in them, and definitely have a giant edge over the players at the low stakes live cash games. That being said, I'm going to be playing some live poker this weekend, and I'm a bit short on cash. As far as experience goes, I have probably netted about $2000 in profit for cash games over 20ish trips to the casinos. In addition, I played and won a 40-player live donkament on the first try for a whopping $500. I'll be playing at Casino Morongo (Southern California) for at least two, and possibly three days. I am looking to sell shares of my action, up to 50% due to being under rolled. I am hoping to get a full 5-buyin BR ($1000) together before this weekend, and currently have $500 of my own to put towards it. I'll be playing $1/$3 ($200 buy-in), which are the lowest and easiest stakes. Also, I am doing this at no additional markup, just want to reduce variance a bit. Is anybody interested in this? Previous blogs of mine can vouch for my honesty/reliability/integrity.
Thanks LP
1% = $10
5% = $50
10% = $100
