    I have been grinding turbo DON's since they changed the rake. I have on three different occasions gotten an email from stars and a credit from people colluding. I also just shipped stars another one that was blatant collusion. Three people all from the same city in the same game and soft playing and over playing each other. My question is why. I don't find that it could to be particularly profitable because the DON's aren't high profit SNG's.

    If they cashed an avg of 2 times between the 3 of them every time, they would profit $88 each time = $29.33/SnG each if they split the profits. That's really not too bad if you could get away with it.

    hmmm,,,,, maybe that could explain why when i first started playing i was winning 9 outta 10 games,,,, then when on to win 1 outta 10 on average on the next huge chunk and it did seem to happen more when i would play like 6 at once with a bunch of the same people,,, hmm,,

    I am sure people collude but these things are super soft even at the 52 dollar level. I have a 65% win rate in 10 DoNs

    How many were you playing at a time. I don;t think 65% is maintainable or any sort of longevity. I have been tempted to move up to the $20's i dunno

    65% shouldnt be sustainable, especially not playing turbos

    To answer the original question, there is still good money to be made at the $52s and $104s. My guess is that they think they can get away with it easier at these games. You can justify folding or soft playing certain spots in these compared to where its hard to justify such plays in a standard 9 man sng.

    Thats just a guess but it makes some sense.

    I will pull HH. It was silly. One guy had was shoving his buddys all ins with garbage so there wouldnt be multi way pots 7 handed. He would only call other peoples all ins and let it be a multi way pot. One hand he open shoved 6000 with 9-6 and his buddy woke up with KK. Then another hand his buddy shoved 2 BB utg with 77 and he iso'ed with 45 off.

    Those were the two hands that really stood out to me and I shipped it to stars. They got back to me in 10 minutes to say it will be reviewed and 20 minutes after that to say they are doing a full investigation and will get back me. If anyone wants to see HH let me know and I will pull em.

    BTW Stars support owns.
