Default Re: WCOOP main event sensation - winner under investigation

I don't see how pokerstars can determine if two different people were sitting at home playing on 1 computer.

Unless i missed something in the thread, it appears that 5 people were sat in one persons home playing the same tourney.

There is like 1.4 million dollars and Pokerstars' reputation on the line here - they will investigate further im sure.

do you (or anyone else) really not see a problem with the system as a whole if:

-stars had nothing in place to stop this when registrations were taken
-stars willingly accepted the rake money from this and other similar situations
-stars is now only spurred in to action to investigate the first place player despite the massive amount of information they have on the other 2997 'players' in the event?

(fwiw i think the most appropriate response is probably to just let it go and not investigate)

No, the most appropriate response is to start with the winner, then move on to everyone who cashed, then move to everyone who entered.

Yes, there SHOULD be a system in place to stop it before it happened, but this doesnt mean you shouldnt act on something after it has happened.

By your logic the police shouldnt investigate crimes because the crimes have already happened.

[/ QUOTE ]

this is so bad its not even worth responding to. completely missed the point. are you suggesting police just sit back and let crimes happen when it profits them? would you be ok with that situation?

by your logic people shouldnt feed ducks that have already eaten in the past week (makes about as much sense and relevance to the situation)
