Are they cheating?

Who? You know, the pokersites or even the players?

Online poker cheats have circulated since the first poker room opened in 1998, and today, more than a decade later, the only thing that has changed is the poker cheats are much more advanced. That fact alone has caused many of the poker sites to combat cheaters, using advanced poker algorithms and detection software.

Yet, does the fact that a pokersite uses additional software have an adverse effect on your game, the statistical odds or even your ability to outplay opponents? The answer is OF COURSE IT DOES!

Why? you may ask, well very simply the answer is found in the pokersite software itself. Lets take a closer look at what is really going on behind the scenes at major online poker sites and why so many players feel that online poker is rigged.

Remember the Absolute scandal, where a pro poker player had access to everyones hole cards through an inside accomplice? The insider, using instant messenger, transmitted all the players hole cards to the pro player, so he knew exactly what moves to make. Subsequently he ended up winning virtually 100% of the poker hands he was involved in.

Not only is it nearly impossible to win every hand you play, it is statistically improbable, especially against so many different players. And the online poker sites know that! So when the scandal broke and an internal investigation was completed, it was determined that there has to be a way to STOP a plyaer, even if he KNOWS your hole cards, from winning every poker hand in a tournament or cash game.

How did they do it?

Through additional Poker Algorithms! Once the programmers realized that they only needed to modify some code to ensure a player could NOT win so many hands, it was quite an easy task. Yet, the possibility of skewering the statistical odds and norms in a poker game had to be protected as well.

Basically what that means is that a straight will occur 4.62% of the time over the course of millions of hands, therefore, that stat had to be maintained to give the appearance that the poker site is dealing a fair game.

That problem was simple to overcome by merely programming additional algorithms to deal out a straight exactly 4.62% of the time. The supposiotion that the Random Number Generator is perfect is only substantiated by the fact that a programmer is able to manipulate the poker algorithm to deal out the correct number of probable odds that remain with the statistical norms.

This feat is easily accomplished by any first year C++ programmer and does not require an advanced knowledge of programming. The fact that a program (such as the RNG) can easily be manipulated (as was proven in another case involving WilliamHill Casino, wherein the software they use clearly states from the programmers website “Our proprietary random number generator is calculating your profit before the winning/loosing number is sent back to the game. you can set a minimum profit that is always kept for you!”) therefore the fact that a poker site can CHANGE the RNG overrides the argument that online poker can be fair.

Having established the additional poker algorithms are subjected to manipulation by the poker site itself, the question arises as to WHY would a pokersite do this. That question has already been answered, and is simply to PREVENT a super-user from winning too many poker hands, as was the case in the Absolute Scandal.

Your Solution to Crack Poker

So, What can you do as an online poker player to defeat this problem of online poker is rigged? Simple! Learn HOW the poker algorithms and software works and follow the patterns to circumvent those algortihms.

This additionally will help you win more often, and avoid crushing losses from poker bad beats and too many suckouts in online poker. More information can be obtained from the Paul Westin Online Poker Code Crack, which explains how the algorithms work and how you can beat them using a specific style of play.

Matusow Calls FullTilt His Random MONEY Generator

At a recent televised poker game, Mike Matusow relayed a story about how he and Howard Lederer were discussing the RNG (Random Number Generator) after a player on Fulltilt said Mike should talk to support about how bad the RNG is on the site. Matusow, not knowing what the RNG was, asked Howard Lederer what they meant by RMG.

Mike said, “What is that, the Random Money Generator?” to which Howard laughed and replied, “no they mean the Random Number Generator – RNG.”

Although Howard and Mike (both principles/owners/board members at Full Tilt poker) got a good laugh out of Mike’s misnomer, as the old saying goes, no truer words were ever spoken in jest.

Mike making jokes about the Random Money Generator may be a lot closer to the truth than a random NUMBER generator!

Why? You may ask, it is well known that many online poker sites deliver constant bad beats and players are constantly screaming online poker is rigged! However, the truth behind all of this is also well known as the FullTilt RNG flaw.

In an effort to curtail cheating and collusion, the software developers of FullTilt (as well as many other pokersites) have implemented anti-cheating and anti-collusion software. It is that software that actually makes determinations about hand showdowns and who will win a pot.

The algorithms take the fairness and skill out of the game and turn the online poker game into a lottery. This is the reason it is often difficult to make a good play that works in a live game or explains often why nobody willing folds to their draws.

If you know you are going to make a flush or straight, would you fold?

The fact is that certain hands win more often online then they do in real life. For example, straights and flushes are made in a much higher frequency online than in live play. Furthermore, because of the algorithms, more ‘draw heavy’ boards are dealt out, keeping the action to a maximum effect.

It is not coincidence that Matusow would call the RNG a Random Money Generator, simply because that is what it comes down to. Mike, along with Howard Lederer, Chris Ferguson and Phil Ivey (among other pro’s) all have a stake in Full Tilt and all receive sizable compensation from the poker site.

Of course, there must be a question as to whether the algorithms used can be subverted to an advantage by players if they know what to look for. The answer is YES! If you understand the algorithm and the patterns used by the software, you then have the ability to win based on the use of that algorithm.

Of course, many experienced and professional players will claim there is nothing unusual, and that the sites are dealing truly random decks. They prefer to blame their bad beats and poor performance on bad players who pick off their bluffs and call them down chasing.

Listen up! It is not the bad players! Online Poker is rigged by a computer program which is easily manipulated by the site or by any intelligent player that knows how it works. I personally believe the online poker sites should revert back to the software they were using before the anti-cheating and anti-collusion programs, at least then you knew when you won you were winning because of your skill!

Nevertheless, since the poker sites are not willing to make changes in their practice, the only viable option is for players to learn the way the algorithms work, and level the playing field back in our favor! On the other hand you can keep playing the sites as always and hope nobody sucks out on you, as Mike and Howard laugh it off about your contribution to their Random MONEY Generator!
