technical knowledge /= poker knowledge.

Just because someone is smart enough to crack a tough security code doesn't mean they know how to use the information.

For example, think of bots...programmers can make the most elaborate code imaginable, but they need the poker theory behind it- ie. knowing what hands to play, understanding basic poker odds, knowing when to call as a %, when to raise, when to fold, understanding 3-betting light, understanding different types of players and their ranges, etc., usually done by consulting poker players.

I agree, but it doesn't take a poker genius to play a basic strategy and make a few extra good calls and bluffs. It's just common sense.

Maybe the cheater just had no knowledge of programs like pokertracker and thought he could get away with it without the other players having a way to figure it out.
