Outrageous collusion

Add qrysty to make a gang of three.

Yep - how many posts are you after?
There was a 9-11 thread on chit-chat a while ago that ran and ran.

Your basic problems are 2 fold:
1. Betfair don't care.
2. Betfair poker people don't understand the game they're supposed to be administering. I have reported instances of players colluding in the chatbox - not even on MSN or the like - and Betfair refused to accept it was collusion. They were merely discussing the hand apparently when one said "OK now. Let's check it down.".

PKR is really naff but at least in their rules any discussion of the hand in play is banned and they do enforce that rule.

How did dons come about? Why would anyone want to play these?

The question is why wouldn't certain people want to play them, given the site's patent inability / lack of interest in cracking down on collusion. Hence why stars replaced them.

Reasons for playing DoNs originally - no-one had a clue how to play them.
It was the easiest money I've ever come across in 10yrs of online poker.
Reasons for playing them now:
Sadly they tend to fill faster than standard stts and the play is still pretty lousy. Colluders apart they are still guaranteed income albeit at a lower roi than in the past.

Betfair taking the American atttude to the pair.
ie. They need 10 yrs to catch them
