I know, it's a [censored] joke a site allows this. I think they should just ban them from playing at the same tables. People who obviouly show this much intent on working together, what prevents them from picking up the cell phone in high stake games and talking while playing?????

Action should most definitely be taken here. Stars' rep depends upon it.

Re: paging Lee Jones
 

I and some friends have several times emailed support about this. We always get the standard reply where they assure us that they have reviewed the concerned player's history and that there is no sign of collusion/softplaying/whatever you want to call it.

It is obvious that they care much more about the huge rake amounts those players pay than about the integrity of the game.

Care to comment Stars? (probably not, it's easier to hide under the bed and pretend nobody from Stars ever read this thread).

Yes, and it still pi ss es me of when on the turn one player bets and the other raises to try to kick me out, knowing that when he succeeds in his evil plan (lol) he does not have to fear the reraise of the innitial bettor because that player will then softplay him, even if he thought he would have him beat.
I've seen this wicked tool (lol) being used over and over again, especially against visitors who where new at the table.

I have never seen a land based room where soft play in a ring game was prohibited when only two players remain. It's annoying and is not good for the game but it's allowed.

What about FTP - do they allow it?

It is allowed in cash games, and should be so long as they dont squeeze someone out first and then softplay.

We need to bump this thread. That way it will become more and more obvious that Stars representatives , in Gibraltar, London or 2+2 forums are not willing to deal with this collusion problem at the high stakes cash tables.

Nothing new under the sky as this exactly same problem has been unpunished since the days when the highest game was NL 3/6 (3 or 4 years ago) and with the exactly same players as the main actors.

STARS: When we come with suggestions that allow you to make more money from us, you have no problem showing up here and telling us how much you love us. Now we are pointing out a problem that has to do with your integrity but unfortunately resolving it could cost you money and your answer so far is:
Don't call us, we'll call you.

NICE!
