Default Re: What would be better...?

For NL, I think (1) hands down. For Limit, it's possible that knowing the final board might be more profitable, but probably still go with (1) if pressed.

I completely disagree that (1) would be harder to detect. Didn't somebody just get caught with knowledge of (1) on Absolute when he called a Ten high bluff with Jack high? The reason for going with (2) IMO would be that the game would still be fun, as you wouldn't know if you'd won the hand til the end [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

well they got caught cuz they were stupid. But it would be much easier to hide having that ability from detection (either from other players, or from software detection), cuz you can mask it as just playing really great poker. You could mask the other too, but it would be harder to do. I guess you could just completely change styles and play like a LAGtarded maniac, and just be considered sick lucky. But I'd rather everyone think I was the most skilled player ever, cuz im egotistical like that [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

[/ QUOTE ]imo the optimal way to cheat is to play as you normally would, without looking at anyone's cards, except during large allin decisions. This would still allow you to win quite a bit with a much smaller probability of detection. You could even throw in something like, you make the wrong decision on purpose 10% of the time or so to make it almost impossible to detect. It would just look like you're really good at hand reading...
