X-Post Absolute Poker Hole Card Cheating

There will be no response is my guess. If they fix the problem and admit to a problem in the first place then you have a bigger problem.

If I were them I would try to sweep it under the rug...

This might kill online poker.

We need to either end online poker or regulate it.

We don't need to end [censored].

I wonder if that guy is nervous about any possible recourse against him...He seemed to not care if everyone knows but he has stolen a lot of money in front of a lot of witnesses.

""also fyi, this is (obv) an HSNL/limit issue at this time and no one playing below 100/200 needs to worry. ""

I had to laugh at this. Yes its obv. that there is only one person that can see hole cards and he/she is only doing it at 100/200 and above....

Again, why is it obvious?

[MicroBob]

agreed. if one person is doing it playing 88VP or whatever at 100/200 then why would it be so impossible for someone else to do something similar at 15/30 but do it more intelligently by playing more normally so as not to be so easily detected.

Someone out there could actually be smart enough to realize that by NOT playing perfectly, playing 25VP or something more normal and even occasionally losing a hand including calling-down with the worst hand just for show then they could continue to fleece this thing forever possibly without being detected.

I hate to give these tips for some idiot out there who might be reading. But it's true and it should be totally obvious and it's possible somebody is out there doing something like this already.

IF it is true that somebody at 100/200 can see hole-cards then there is zero reason to trust the other stakes on that site AT ALL.
Although I think I would be more comfortable playing 1/2 or 2/4 limit on there. Anybody who could see the hole-cards would almost have to be playing higher than that I would think.

I am not a person who panics or is paranoid at all... But if I knew it was possible for anybody playing to see other people's hole cards illegally, I would never play another hand on that site.

online poker is shades

[warrantofice]

Why just the hole cards? Why not see the hole flop? Are each card randomly choosen for the flop then turn then river? Why couldn't they see everthing?
