Abosulte poker and Ultimate bet scandal, AGAIN
I completely support Andrew’s position on the subject.
We need stronger regulation from independent trusted sources and stronger player community to make sure these guys pay and such things don’t happen again. I never played on neither of those sites and I am never going to. However, these scandals are pulling down the image of the poker that has been slowly improving in the last couple of years. In such a manner they are affecting me and anyone who is playing poker either for entertainment or professionally.
Online, we posses the power that information for every hand played is stored, both on the servers of the poker rooms and as hand histories for the participating(observing) players. By combining all this information we can ensure that long streaks of cheating are virtually impossible. A peer-to-peer source of hand histories coupled with a statistical-based software will make it easy to detect significant deviations as are expected for superusers and bots. This might also contribute to ensure the integrity of the randomizing algorithms used (after some serious debiasing).
If by any chance you are still playing AP and UB, move your game out of there. They are still not regulated outside themselves and you would not want to be test subjects for their third superuser attempt.
