Re: Official Full Tilt Poker Response to Bot Thread
I have read pretty much all the posts and am pretty much OK with FTP standing by their decision to not seize the funds. I may have a bias towards giving someone the benefit of the doubt, but even after reading all the stat geek's posts, I wasn't convinced they had proved "bots."
But what they did prove was a level of similarity and consistency that is just way beyond the capacity of the normal human, in other words, even if they didn't actually use "bots" they, through a combination of scripts (both computer and written) and coordination, achieved the perfect imitation of a "bot."
My bottom line is, this doesnt seem to violate the current rules, but it should.
So OK, they found a loophole and exploited it, we cant really blame them for that - we're poker players afterall.
But once FTP "exonerated" them, and rightfully returned their money, they should have told them this model of coordinated play was no longer allowed and should have already started revising the T&C to make this type of play a violation.
This was 3 or 4 guys who managed to play exactly like bots. If they can do it, whats to stop a group of 50, or 100? And if that were to happen, I would want to take my play elsewhere.
