more poker scandals

[wtf]

The biggest names in poker are being sued by two people who claim they were defrauded on an online poker site.


Lary Kennedy and Greg Omotoy claim they opened an account at fulltiltpoker.com and -- as luck would have it -- they amassed winnings of more than $80,000.

The famous poker defendants who own the site -- including Chris "Jesus" Ferguson, Howard Lederer, Phil Ivey and Mike Matusow -- allegedly accused the plaintiffs of using an automated play functions called "robots" instead of playing the game themselves. Since using robots violates Full Tilt's rules, the site's owners confiscated more than $80,000.

There are other gripes as well in the lawsuit, filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, including an allegation that fulltilitpoker.com manipulates the game through the use of robots of its own so it becomes more a game of luck than skill which is outlawed in California.

If they had bots play there are stupid. Mind you I"ve never seen a good bot for playing poker but I know they are out there. There was a time on Titan poker there was this crappy bot and a lot of people were using it. Go hyper aggressive on the bot and it will fold almost anything but the nuts.

[wtf]

looks like it is just a numbers game, the more bots the more chances at the nuts

All depends if they used bots imo. Full Tilt has always been more or less legit an I assume knowing the kind of press this would bring them they have compelling evidence against the supposed culprits...i would like to know more about this evidence.

Sorry for the double post

[wtf]

no problem ITH, everyone ignores me anyway

i still contend those poker sites are full of bots, even if they can be pushed around it is still a numbers game
