"Hello,

PokerStars has become aware of two players who were in violation of our
poker room rules. You were involved in one or more hands with these
players. You have received a credit as a result. To confirm your
credit, log onto your PokerStars account, go to the 'Cashier' screen and
click the 'History' button. Your share will be shown as "Credit Purchase",
followed by the amount of the credit.

I regret that we are not at liberty identify the specific games or
players in question. Suffice to say that the players involved have been
barred from the site and you will not encounter them again.

Likewise we will not go into detail regarding the method used to
calculate your share of the funds distributed. I can say that it is based on
the net amount won using unfair tactics, combined with the number of
hands that you played at a table where unfair play was taking place.

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 those rare cases where collusion has actually occurred, we make sure
that any players affected are compensated appropriately. Note that
this incident took place some time ago. My apologies for the delay in
processing your credit.

Thank you for your continued play here on PokerStars. Please do not
hesitate to let us know any time we can be of help.


Regards,

SteveW
PokerStars Support Team"


Good to know they are monitoring the games. I've never even felt like I was being colluded against. They credited me $37.76. 95% of my play is at 3/6NL. Wheeeeeeeee

I had a similiar letter a couple of weeks back. I couldn't wait to check my account as I'd been playing $3-$6 PLO with average pots over $100. Imagine my dissapointment when i found a credit of $11. I'd love to know how they worked that one out.

I'm guessing the problem is that they take every player that ever played with the colluders. Since usually colluders are stupid, they probably only have a small amount of money left. After dividing it out over all the players, you end up with a pretty small amount.

This is why I love PokerStars. That, plus the fact that affiliates hate them.
