Message: [QUOTE="titans4ever, post: 385844, member: 2843"] The biggest problem for online poker and gambling is the degree of seperation that everyone has while online. You really don't know if you are playing a bot, a 7 year old autistic genius or your mom. You are only looking at a computer screen and if lucky a picture that they put up to give them some personality. You can yell and scream like an idiot when you get AA in the hole and there is nobody to stare you down except your cat. Nobody knows who you are, what you look like or where you live. You can't call security over to get them removed for being drunk, stoned, or an arse that won't shut up. People can spend $50 on a program that will track how well/bad they do. It will also keep track of all your opponents and get to know their tendencies better that they do. You can pull up info against people you have played before. Is that fair? Is that having an edge over them if they don't use it? I don't own a program but how many of the CC regulars do? When we play the CC games on titan and PS, i bet those who do have them on and are tracking every move on the table. After awhile do they get an edge on those of us who don't because they can instantly get an idea of how you played in the past? I don't really call it cheating but is it fair and make it an even challange of skill? These are the two things that make online poker more of a challange that it really should be. We all know the beast and are willing to dance with it if we deposit money on the sites. We all know the risks when we deposit on the site and are we really shocked to find out that somewhere some one is trying to bend the system in their favor. PS. FP, nice writing. I have been not looked at the blog for awhile, looks like I have been missing some good stuff. [/QUOTE]
