Re: AP Admits
that's an old article. He mentioned that AP had not released a statement or admitted anything had happened. The article was from Thursday, the statement came on Friday.

Re: AP Admits
My bad. You're correct.

Re: AP Admits
Am I still the moron for thinking there is something not real with online poker, or .... wait a minute was I right.
I wonder how all the idiots who were defending the integrity of the online poker companies so strongly feel now. This is not a 1 site thing, I am sure this is going on at all sites, just some do it more discretely and in different fashions. I told you there is to much money out there for them to settle for just 5% of the pot. |
Re: AP Admits
I told you so

[/ QUOTE ] Your ever-present 'Pokerstars is rigged' threads are not vindicated because of the cheats at Absolute. One of the most adamant 'idiots' to which you refer is Josem, a poster who when presented with actual evidence, as in the Absolute case, was rabid in his pursuit of the cheats. Your contentions always consisted of mere possibilities, deriving from your inability to win on Pokerstars(I can't win I must be being cheated!). Having played with you for a bit, the fact is your skill level is insufficient to beat the online game for any serious money. I feel confident in saying this because your skill level I have observed(admittedly rarely lately) is very much what my own was in the not too distant past. And guess what. I didn't make squat either. This Absolute scandal sucks, and is disturbing, but the fact there are cheats in the world does not make Pokerstars one of them. Study hard and improve, and stop focusing on a scapegoat for your inability to win on Stars. |
Re: AP Admits
Instead of "I told you so!"
Try reading the complete story first, then, if you still want to comment, you'll have all the facts to at least make an intelligent comment! This is NOT just another "online poker is rigged" story.... The complete story is posted in BBV, take the three or four hours to absorb it! |

Re: AP Admits
that freakonomics article is also an old one and also pre-dates Absolute's admission of what happened. Some of the info is dated including the implication of Scott Tom in that article...who AP now says was merely the guy who was 'set up' by the actual guy who did it.
It was a good article, just letting people know that quite a bit has happened since Oct 17 including AP's admission on Oct 19. The MSNBC article has more current info than the yahoo and freakonomics articles. |
Re: AP Admits
From last summer I have believed AP's blackjack was rigged (I am serious), but that's another story for another day and I don't have concrete #'s to back it up, although a lousy weekend of experience of a loss I'd love to forget.

[/ QUOTE ] Actually Bob, that information is now dated as well, as the new statement that AP seems set to air seems to implicate Scott Tom after all. (See Current AP thread). |
Re: AP Admits
my reading of this is that AP is only focused on the one tournament in question. Is there any info that they're going to check for additional incidents and make good on those too?

Re: AP Admits
Reading the comments of the yahoo link makes me life tilt...
[ QUOTE ] Did people ever think these games of chance were real? [/ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] even if players were not cheating at internet poker its all a setup anyway. I belive the winners are selected before the game even starts it all about chip stack size and the time schedule on the tournament there is no such thing as random cards on the net it all a program. Reapeat A PROGRAM? Play live if you are going to try to grind a living [/ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] I AM SORRY BUT GAMBLING ONLINE OR LIVE IS FOR FOOLS. [/ QUOTE ] |

Re: AP Admits
Obviously there is a difference between looking at the stats and analyzing based on the facts vs. saying that you can "just feel" that the cards there are somehow "different" and that becuase you aren't good enough to win there the site is somehow setting it up against you.
Note - Merely saying that you are the best player on the whole site does not necessarily make it so....but it sure is amusing to see. |

Re: AP Admits
AP admitted it now I'm waiting for PokerStars to admit it too. I've gotten outdrawn on the river everytime for the last two days. I must be getting cheated. They probably see my hole-cards but also what cards are about to come next. How else can I explain getting Aces cracked by Kings, Queens, Jacks, Jokers, and the cards in the deck where the rules are printed. Actually on my last hand I got beat with somebody playing the back of their cards. The dealer accidently put the flop backside-up and the guy made a flush. [sorry, I'm having a [censored] run]
