    I've been writing software for 25 years ; have a university eduction in computer science so I've seen a few broken screen algorithms.

    I know for a fact that pokerstars has broken software since they came up with this ridiculous list of people that I supposedly knew and was collaborating with.

    Since I"m a small time player and have some pretty significant losses on that site I can assure you that I have NEVER collaborated. And you should see the list of players that they have alleged that I have suspicious activity with ???

    It's totally ridiculous and defies common sense. So PokerStarts you want to 'freeze' my account ?? I say CLOSE IT FOR GOOD - I am taking my action to Full Tilt and I am urging all my friends to do the same.

    Seriously - you should see this list of players I supposedly have suspicious activity with - I don't know ANY OF THEM AT ALL.

    I hate to say it but I"m pretty much a fish that loses the vast majority of the time - so all PokerStars is doing is CHASING DEAD MONEY OFF OF THE SITE.

    Thanks PokerStarts - I don't mind leaving your site SINCE ALL I DO ON IT IS LOSE ...

    I'm sure the players on Full Tilt WILL LOVE MY ACTION.

    pokerstars does database queries that run against some code that tries to determine if you are collaborating with another account.

    That code is b-r-o-k-e-n. How do I know ? Because it came up with this large list of players I have never heard of before.

    There is no way that I have collaborated with any of them and there is quite a few on the list.

    The security software does a historical query and they have some code that tries to determine if there is collaboration by looking at the history database they have. It's called broken software - if they come up with a match - they FREEZE your account.

    It more than likely has to do with the fact that you are logging in from the same IP addresses as other players. If you explain to them why you log in from so many different IP addresses they will probably understand.
