Re: Video News Story on Dirty Poker
I now see that there is a different half of the story.
Scroll down the web-page some to 'featured videos' and about 6 or 7 stories down there is 'Poker Cheats Online' where the same guy talks about collusion, seeing everyone's hole-cards via hacking, multi-accounting, and bots.
And how the sites let you win on the play-money tables so that you will be more inclined to play real-money.
It should be noted that this is almost definitely a syndicated story that this channel in Memphis picked up. That means that this story probably ran on other local newscasts (with some of the subject matter changed for locality).
I think it's kind of alarming that this guy can promote his (at least partly) nonsense book via supposedly legitimate news outlets.
And it certainly doesn't help poker's image at all (think about all those congressmen looking for more ammo for their legislation).
