Cheating Poker Rooms

Cheating poker rooms. Why am I not surprised? It wouldn't be because they have totally crapped on affiliates? Yes, it would. And I don't say that for self-serving cause. You can almost always judge the true integrity of a gambling establishment by that measure because affiliates are usually the first to get screwed and the last to get paid. The two poker rooms caught cheating are Ultimatebet and Absolute Poker.

I am surprised that Ultimate Bet and Absolute Poker got caught however, and from what I have read it was because of incredibly STUPID play by those who had the edge. They played nearly every hand ... one tournament game showed the player had stayed in through the flop for every single hand but four! He ended the game with a winning had of a high card of ten!, by calling the other player's all-in check-raise while drawing to a flush. The cheating player at Ultimate Bet held only the ten high.

For those not in the know ... calling an all-in check-raise for the game winning wager ... while holding a ten high ... is something only a monkey would ACCIDENTLY do ... or someone who had inside information.

This writer thinks that the head cheat at Ultimate Bet and the head cheat at Absolute Poker (perhaps one and the same or so it would seem on the surface) should have hired smarter cheaters! How incredibly stupid and obviously greedy can anybody get? Apparently this has been tracked all the way back to Joe Norton, the former Grand Chief of the Mohawk Tribe which run the Kahnawake Gaming Commission, and current part-owner in both Ultimate Bet and Absolute Poker, and that leads to the question of how deep this all really runs? I will address questions about the legitimacy of Kahnawake Gaming Commission in another article because its a whole new can of worms with much further reaching impact than just these two poker rooms cheating players (btw: did i mention it amounted to millions?).

For more about Ultimate Bet cheating players. For more about Absolute Poker cheating players. One of those pages, AP, has a link to the sixty plus pages of discussion that went on about these two incidents and the work that went into proving these places were cheating. I've summed up the stories on the pages the above two links take you however, in case you'd rather just read the jist of the story as opposed to wading through the discussion which is of course filled with shots at just about anybody related to these matters and then the propaganda slung back through the means of shills and well-intended-but-seriously-lacking-a-clue honest players is also rampant.
