Official Full Tilt Poker Response to Bot Thread

[Skallagrim]

OK, I trust the regular posters here on statistics (my previous posts all recognize that these are EXTRAORDINARY numbers).

But now listen to an informed perspective on the "criminal" mind: suppose I develop a supertight system that, as long as its undetected, can acheive a marginal win rate at low stakes NLHE (hardy that difficult). I program a script with that system (again easy). I set up a group of computers AND PLAYERS to sit and execute this script over set periods of time. I am present at these times to oversee compliance and occasionally play. The players really make no decisions, they just make the clicks instead of the script. I do this, even though a real bot would be easier and cheaper, precisely because I see it as a loophole in the rules.

The above scenario is what I believe happened. It technically is not a bot nor a violation of the TOC. But it sucks none the less.

Can you statistics guys assure me that the above scenario is not consistent with the stats?
