Default Re: Steps on Stars

Earlier in this thread there was an allegation that two specific players were ‘in cahoots’ during a Step 6. Were they reported to Pokerstars for collusion and if so what was the result?

The Step 6 format, awarding seats to the top three finishers, is almost begging for colluders. But if done skilfully collusion in this format of satellite would be difficult to prove and would not arouse suspicion from observers.

Wait, so how do I see how many tickets I have at each Step without mock-registering for all of them?

From the menu:

Agreed 100%. I'd love to know the outcome of the investigation if there was one. I watched the tourney in question and after seeing what happened on the bubble I decided to never play a tourney with that format. I'd do the single-table version, though.

Adding 6a would be a major improvement - thank you!

So are they actually going to do this or is it just a bunch of people speculating.

If you add a single-table 6a I will be far more likely to play these really hard.
Without it I will MAYBE dork around with them a little bit but not nearly as much.
