Re: Article on WinHoldEm Bot in Wired (link)
"Bornert had no ethical qualms about creating a poker bot. The way he saw it, the poker sites were duping people into believing that a game of hold 'em online was as safe and secure as one at any casino in Vegas. "The reality is that the game changed the moment it moved to the Internet," Bornert says. Bots and bot-aided collusion were inevitable. Rather than seduce anyone into thinking such things didn't exist, Bornert had another notion: Put the power in the players' hands. By democratizing computer-assisted firepower, he'd make it part of the competition. "It's like football - if you don't wear a helmet and pads, you're going to get hurt," he says. "A poker bot is your equipment." And if that is considered unethical, then so be it. "I'd rather be unethical than be a victim," he says. "This is intentional civil disobedience."
So, according to him, we should all go out and rob houses, cause we are all potential victims of theft. What a douchebag... |

Yea, I can't believe they actually included the user-name of the bot user in the article

^^^ Whiny Victims Above ^^^
So sad. Y'all think there's some expectation of honesty in online poker? Fools.
Are you making money? Then STFU, join the battle or roll over and die. No one will begin to play nice cause you think that's fair. |
