Bit of a crazy weekend so far and ahead so not much time to post. So here is a quick update on the absolute poker scandal...
Having initially denied any possibility to cheating being possible via seeing opponents hole cards Absolute Poker were provided with overwhelming evidence suggesting it was not only possible but in fact happening and they STILL denied it had happened. For people to be betting $20,000 on a river with a 9 hi bluff and to get called by ten high simply would not happen. Finally due to possible legal action the full truth has come out. To save me typing it all here here is a link with pretty much the full details. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21381022/
From a personal viewpoint I said this was possible several years ago, my exact words being "If people can hack into the pentagon and NASA then online poker is definitely not 100% secure". People ridiculed what I suggested was possible and I would rather have never been proven correct. Absolute Poker as a brand name surely is ruined now and will never have much traffic again at the site. The great news for all players is that surely any problems on other sites will now not be swept under the carpet as if it does come out the company will be virtually ruined.
Good luck on the tables all and rememeber, if something does not feel right do not be afraid to speak out.
