Poker Stars fake hand image

Hello everybody,

I have joined this forum to tell you all a story of cataclismic proportions...

I have just been sent a screen shot of a "final table" of a pokerstars tournament and a player is holding pocket aces and the board reads AAKAK so in other words there were 5 aces in the deck....

The tournament was cancelled straight after the hand but too late...

Now I have been a player on pokerstars for about 3 or 4 years and this absolutely brakes my heart as it is my favourite site but wow that is such b.s and it has actually made me not want to play pokerstars ever again but it also adds some doubt to the whole online shuffling system... Surely they should have to close their site down or have some form of drastic audit... I mean C'mon that is totally unacceptable..... words that come to mind - lying, cheating, dishonest @#$#...

other words that come to mind: photoshop

That is what I first thought... but you can see the writing from the players in the chat box and they are going crazy... and then you also have the box over the table that says - " this tournament has been cancelled. All buy in and entry fees will be refunded"... The one guy has over 3 million in chips and the tourney is being cancelled?, something smells very fishy....

This has also come from some serious players.... I can send the screen shot if you like.....

We have seen them many times - photoshop.

Seriously, once you've seen some of the things skilled people can do with Photoshop, editing a screenie of a poker site isn't all that impressive.

yup, can easily be done in photoshop...
can even be done in Paint...

if you are sure about the authenticity of the screenshot, post it here...

I love threads like this.....

Who's Hu? The guy they employ to catch cheaters at Poker Stars?

I rarely do this - but I've edited the title of this thread. IMO the last thing online poker needs is a thread named as inappropriately as that.

LOL, you mean this pic.



That can be done in like 5 minutes, i cant believe you believe that!!

And to save everyone a bit of trouble of looking for it, here is the upclose analysis of the fake screen capture in question (of the pic posted above)...

Looking at PS, and this picture, suggests it was taken over 1 billion tourneys ago. Also note the spacing in the tourney number.

Yeah that was the pic... lol... the chat in the bottom left cornet threw me off, but thanks for clearing that up for me....

Nice one guys....

The Ace of Tulips has struck AGAIN.

Hey, BIG DEAL. I have some really nice, pristine ocean-front property in Nevada that I can give you a great deal on.
