Now a tourny lobby pops up in the same place everytime on my main monitor. Before they would pop up wherever you last positioned the main lobby.

Cliff's Notes: The Absolute Poker cheaters are linked to the Kahnawake Gaming Commission.


Long Version:
1) During a tournament played by cheater 'Potripper,' the person who ended up coming second ("Marco") thought he was cheated. He emailed Absolute, and they sent him a hand history file - an XLS file.

2) Marco opened up this file, it seemed all gibberish to him, and he didn't think anything of it.

3) First Absolute Poker scandal blow up - PT screenshots, etc.

4) Fortnight passes

5) In passing discussion, Marco mentions he has this file. He shares it with N854020 (pokerdb.com maintainer, maker of The Poker Film, part owner of Bluff Media) who analyses what is in this file

6) Nat (N8...) & 2p2 poster Snagglepuss discover that this file is a complete hand history for the tournament - showing every table, and all hole cards of every player

7) Big excitement over #6

8) In further analysis, Nat + Snagglepuss discovers that this file contains IP addresses and user details (including email addresses) of people observing the table

9) In #8, they discover user #363 is observing PotRipper's table the whole time

10) At the start of the tournament, for the two hands that user #363 is not observing the table, Potripper folds preflop. He doesn't fold another hand pre-flop for 20minutes, when he open-folds with KK held by a player behind him.

11) The IP address recorded for user #363 tracks out to be a user who uses email hosted by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission (More info at http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...mber=12520697)

It was a great day for me to start playing on stars. The software is soo bad, having to move tables and resize across two different monitors (one 22" widescreen and one 20").

Venetian, I looked at multitablerhelper and they have a stars beta version out now that apparently auto adjusts sizes of tables... Have you checked this out yet? You have to pay $25 for it though. I posted in the software forum asking about it.

Woke up like an hour ago and I have been playing on Partypoker. The software is still the same as when I left it lol.

Does anyone else have a friend who's struggling pretty bad, and needs your support and advice, but doesn't ever seem to do anything to help themselves out? Or if they do it's painfully slow and incremental. I feel like I can either give support and be invested, or just try to stay detached. I can't seem to do anything in-between. Does that make me a bad friend? It's very hard to be invested in someone who doesn't seem to want to help themselves.

No it's not. They've added some great features:

a)pot size is now shown on the table, which includes current bets with action still pending.
b)randomly disappearing notes fuction.
c)randomly closing down and restarting function.

and probably others in the last year.
