LOL. If you're from Ohio, how come a little birdy said you have a Pittsburg Comcast address.

Hopefully one of the mods will provide your IP address to FTP. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

wtf: Sidney Crosby #87 for the Pittsburgh Penguins. I think people are just trolling now. This one was too easy.

Hey guys. I just wanted to also point out that it's possible that the accounts in question are just playing a solid game. They seem pretty tight aggressive to me, and that's not a bad thing. There's no need for everyone to jump all over this BrandonJoe guy just because his opinion is different from yours.

Surely this is someone joking?

Good one, SCrosby87.

Seriously though, let's not have BenR and Jack2Wilson and GenoMalkin71 showing up defending the suspected bots. The joke's been done.

There's always room for humor. But let's not get too far off track here.

I agree that the issue of bots and moreso of Full Tilt not stopping the bots is a problem and might be a big problem going forward, but at this point all I see is some bots who can barely break even at $200NL.

The 4 "bots" listed have an avg win rate of around 1.5

Someone said they didnt know there were bots would could beat NL for a nice win rate. This isnt a nice win rate. A super nit with a win rate of 1.5 against all players would get beaten pretty easily by a better than avg NL player.

I for one wouldnt mind playing these bots even if I didnt trhey were bots. I just wont be paying off anyone playing that tight

"1forthethumb" and "mariojr"??? LOL

Sounds like the work of some CMU geeks (or some other Pittsburgh sports fan(s) ).

For those unfamiliar with Pittsburgh sports lore-- the Steelers had 4 Super Bowl victories/rings until 2006; enough for each finger of the hand but the thumb. From the 1980's to 2006 the Steeler fans' rallying cry was "One for the thumb".

As for "mariojr"-- back in the mid 1990's, someone noticed that 2nd banana Penguins hockey star Jaromir Jagr's first name was an anagram for "Mario Jr."-- as in Mario Lemieux. [Sorry if this is obvious to everyone-- I just figured that not everyone here follows Pittsburgh sports and some might not have caught the connection].

I'm no FBI profiler, but makes sense to me that this is the work of some college math/poker geeks at a techy school like CMU and the connection that two of the suspected bots' names have is highly suspicious.



wow...nice catch.

Just to add a little insanity to the post. I believe Pokertracker developers are from Pittsburgh. Sometime in the past, while playing chess at the Internet Chess Club(Blitzin), I asked whether the two were connected but receive no reply. Believe the source of ICC is also in Pittsburgh.
