Default Re: AP Admits

that's an old article. He mentioned that AP had not released a statement or admitted anything had happened. The article was from Thursday, the statement came on Friday.

Am I still the moron for thinking there is something not real with online poker, or .... wait a minute was I right.

I wonder how all the idiots who were defending the integrity of the online poker companies so strongly feel now. This is not a 1 site thing, I am sure this is going on at all sites, just some do it more discretely and in different fashions. I told you there is to much money out there for them to settle for just 5% of the pot.

Your ever-present 'Pokerstars is rigged' threads are not vindicated because of the cheats at Absolute. One of the most adamant 'idiots' to which you refer is Josem, a poster who when presented with actual evidence, as in the Absolute case, was rabid in his pursuit of the cheats.

Your contentions always consisted of mere possibilities, deriving from your inability to win on Pokerstars(I can't win I must be being cheated!). Having played with you for a bit, the fact is your skill level is insufficient to beat the online game for any serious money. I feel confident in saying this because your skill level I have observed(admittedly rarely lately) is very much what my own was in the not too distant past. And guess what. I didn't make squat either. This Absolute scandal sucks, and is disturbing, but the fact there are cheats in the world does not make Pokerstars one of them. Study hard and improve, and stop focusing on a scapegoat for your inability to win on Stars.

Instead of "I told you so!"

Try reading the complete story first, then, if you still want to comment, you'll have all the facts to at least make an intelligent comment!

This is NOT just another "online poker is rigged" story....

The complete story is posted in BBV, take the three or four hours to absorb it!

You must be so annoyed you play at Stars not AP. Typical of your luck.
