Updated Cliff Notes On Absolute Poker Scandal (18th October)

[dergitarrist]

Whilst I agree that this should not go down in a pathetic witch hunt with wild speculations about other people possibly involved, I also think it'd be naive to assume that only these few accounts and people were cheating over a rather short period of time, beating the high stakes community for said ~$700k.

In my opinion it is also highly likely that others have used #363 before (or there's more accounts with similar features) in a less obvious way, appearing to be just consistently "running good" and beating the community for far more than the afore mentioned sum.

The only way to properly figure this out, though, is on Absolutes side by - for example - reviewing all instances where #363 has been watching a table and someone with the same ip logged in to play at the same table. Over YEARS. Only then can you find all people with access to #363 and figure out how much money EXACTLY has been stolen from the players at AP. This is - from my POV - also the only way for AP to come clean and start over.

What strikes me as odd is how POTRIPPER and the others were so damn outright obvious about them being able to see others hole cards. Culminating in POTRIPPERs "put you all to sleep one by one" table-trash-talk. I've been a poker player for not even a year now, playing mid stakes NLHE and I'm sure I could be less blatant about it. Scott Tom and the others appear to have been around the game for YEARS and MOST CERTAINLY have the necessary knowledge about the game to be less obviously cheating, even were they to be bad players.

Wild speculation won't get us anywhere, though. So let's get back to the facts and hope they're gonna be enough to get AP to do some work on their side to regain the trust of the playing community.
