Default Re: Absolute Cheating

Why would you still support A.P after all this? The only way these poker sites will suffer is if there is a mass exodus and a big hit in revenue. This seems to be the only leverage we have as poker players and if you're not going to use it then whats the point of all this discussion? They clearly aren't going to answer any questions about anything...so it's time for everyone with an A.P account to find a new home and really punish them.

Repost from another forum:

Dear Mr. xxxxxxxx,

Thank you for contacting us.

We have been following the forums closely and are aware of your concern.

First, we’d like to assure you that a ‘super-user’ account does not exist. Absolute Poker was created by poker players who value security and fair play. The backend of the Absolute Poker software makes it impossible for such an account to function. Our game client only receives data regarding an individual’s hand and no other player hole cards are ever visible – by anyone – except in the event of a showdown.

We have temporarily frozen the accounts of the players in question while we continue our extensive investigation. At this point, we have found no evidence of wrongdoing. However, given the seriousness of these allegations, our investigation will go on.

Our fraud department has combed through all hands involving the accounts that were mentioned in the online forum. Please note that the examples mentioned in the forum present only a small snapshot of each player’s activity. Our ongoing investigation continues to show that the long-term success rates of these players aren’t in line with what the forum suggests.

Fair play and security are as important to Absolute Poker management and staff as they are to our players. Our fraud department is dedicated to ensuring that everyone on the site has a fair opportunity to win. We stand by the results of our random number generator and we take great pride in
our game client security.

Absolute Poker remains a 100% secure place to play. We value all of our players and we will continue to provide our community with a safe, secure and exciting online poker experience.

Thank you, once again, for your email. If we can be of any other assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Thanks for playing at Absolute Poker!
Sincerely,

Alexa

Well no [censored] the long term results don't pan out. That's the whole point. These players were big losers until they learned how to cheat!

Is Absolute seriously examining hands from months ago?

WTF.

You guys suck at analogies. I think a good one would be chess.

This is like a 1000 rated amateur suddenly beating grandmasters. It just isn't possible.

Terrible. Anyone can beat anyone else in poker on any given day. It is the manner in which it is being done that is so messed up.

Who about this? Five 20-handicap golfers (or whatever is bad), all hitting 5-holes in one in a row, on the same course, on the same day.
