Absolute Poker Bonus Information

Timmor L. White asked:


If you read what has already been written about it, you’ll learn the technical details. You’ll learn about Excapsa Software; about Tokwiro Enterprises; about ieLogic, Iovation, eWorld Holdings and the Kahnawake Mohawk Territory; and about players like NioNio. While these details are informative and entertaining, they miss the essential core of the story. In this article, I will tell you what is critical to understand about this cheating scenario, how it differs from other cheating scenarios, and what it means to you.

If you play poker online, please stop whatever you are doing right now and give this article your full attention. Read the following paragraphs carefully, and think about their meaning. You need to grasp the full scope and full magnitude of what we now know regarding the events that took place at UltimateBet.

These are the undeniable and confirmed facts: An unknown number of players, over the course of many years, were able to cheat by seeing their opponents’ hole cards and placing bets accordingly. This resulted in great monetary gain for those who cheated in this manner.

Let’s go over these facts a bit more carefully. First, an unknown number of players were involved. How many? We don’t know. It could be merely a few dozen, or it could be thousands. We will never know the exact number of players who were out there stealing from unsuspecting opponents day in and day out. Think about that for moment. Potentially thousands of players could have been seeing their opponents’ hole cards and benefitting accordingly. That’s a poker cheaters dream, and it was a reality at UltimateBet.

For how long a time period did this cheating take place? Again, nobody knows for certain, but at least three years. Did you get that? I did not say three tournaments, or even three days. I said three full years! Or longer. Maybe much longer! This was not an isolated incident. It was not a short spree that was soon discovered and squelched. It was a regular and ongoing occurrence involving perhaps thousands of players over the course of many years.

How much money was won in this manner? Once again, we will never know. But at least one documented cheater banked an incredible $300,000 profit from only 3,000 hands. This same player won in 13 of 14 sessions, cashing out with $135,000. For certain, the total take through this cheating method among all players was much, much, much greater than that. The mind boggles to contemplate the monetary scale. Try your best to grasp the magnitude of what took place.
This differs from other cheating scandals that have made news recently. Not long ago, we learned of the incident at Absolute Poker. That one shook the online-poker community to its foundation. Yet, that particular scandal involved merely a handful of players and took place over the course of one or more tournaments. It involved a specific inside job through specific individuals. By contrast, the cheating at UltimateBet took place over a period of many years, with perhaps thousands of individuals involved. (Certainly thousands were impacted.) That’s huge. And keep in mind, this describes only the part we know about! We will likely never have any idea how far reaching the cheating really was.

For a long time, a debate has raged regarding online poker. Is it possible to see your opponents’ hole cards? Some say yes. Most say no. The correct answer is yes, and the matter is no longer in dispute. The details of this cheating event at UltimateBet prove once and for all that seeing other people’s hole cards can — and DOES — happen. The debate is over.

The next time people tell you that you cannot see your opponents’ hole cards, that it is not possible, that current software prevents it, that the websites make certain they are secure, blah, blah, blah… you have my permission to laugh at them. Look them straight in the face and then let out a belly laugh to shake the house. They are wrong. Seeing hole cards happens. It has happened. And it is happening at this moment, as you read this.

The question you ought to be asking is this: How many other examples of similar cheating are out there right now that we do not yet know about? How many more people are doing something just like this that have not yet been discovered? That is the question.

What’s the answer? Well, of course, we don’t know. But if you’re a betting person (and I’ll bet you are) then it is a safe bet that there are many. You can reasonably assume that this one situation that was uncovered at UltimateBet is not the one and only situation of its kind now occurring across the vast online landscape. It just happens to be one that got discovered. But you can be confident it does not stand alone in the online-poker universe.

This article is not intended to scare you or dissuade you from playing online poker. Not at all. The purpose of this article is to get you thinking. If cheating is happening — and it is — then you are faced with a decision. Do you want to play a fair game yourself and take your chances against the cheaters who are out there doing their thing? Or do you want to do what you can yourself to tip the odds in your favor? Either way is fine, as long as you fully understand the situation and the environment in which you play. It’s your choice.

Here is the essential nugget in all this: Seeing others’ hole cards is possible. You are a fool if you believe otherwise. You are gullible if you swallow the propaganda of those who say it cannot happen. It is happening, and it will continue to happen. That is fact. Invest your gaming dollars accordingly.

True, there are other ways to cheat. (To see one such method, click here: Online Poker Cheating.) There are perhaps, as many different techniques for cheating as cunning individuals on the planet. But seeing an opponents’ hole cards is the granddaddy of all cheating methods. It is the ultimate ****** for the ******** poker cheater. And don’t you think for a moment that it isn’t a reality online.

So, is it possible to see an opponent’s hole cards? What took place at UltimateBet should settle this question once and for all. But it won’t. Official experts will still claim that seeing hole cards is not possible in today’s online game. You’ll still hear this question debated. Only now, you’ll rise above the debate, because you’ll know the facts. You’ll know the truth, and you’ll go forth into the gaming world armed with knowledge.

Though very often referred to as an attorney in the United States of America, Mark Seif is more popular as one of the most successful Professional Poker Players. In the present times, he has a gained immense popularity as a commentator for the television series on the Professional Poker Tour. This television series is broadcasted on the Travel Channel. He also happens to be one of the spokesmen for Absolute Poker.

Mark Seif was born on 4th October in the year of 1967. So far as his nativity is concerned, he is from Las Vegas in Nevada. Seif was introduced to the game of poker when he was merely a child of six. In the earlier years, he used to learn poker in the home game of his parents. It may seem quite contrasting that in spite of having an early start, Seif took a considerably long time before gaining widespread public recognition. He had to wait till the month of August in 2002 when he finished up in the fourth position in the second World Poker Tour in that year.
Mark Seif achieved the credit of money finish in the World Series of Poker for the first time in May in the year of 2003. This time he finished up in the 9th position. This renowned poker player has also many other achievements in the game of poker. Mark is most commonly popular for his winning two World Series of Poker bracelets in the year of 2005. He won the bracelets back to back. The most interesting thing about his second bracelet victory is that he bested a field of as many as 2013 Professional Poker Players. The list of the Poker Professionals whom Mark defeated in the final table includes reputed Poker Players like Bill Gazes, Dave Ulliott and Greg Raymer.

Mark Seif has other great achievements too in the year of 2005. He won seven-card stud US Poker Championship in the later half of 2005, which was organized at the Taj Mahal in Atlantic City in New Jersey. It is in that very year that he managed to make the final table at the World Championship of Online Poker.

Mark Seif is remarkable for being unpredictable while playing the game of poker. It is for this reason that he has been nicknamed as Mark ‘Un’ Seif. Though he does not possess any of the highest ITM main event finish, he has two bracelets as well as 6 money finishes in the World Series of Poker to his credit. So far as his performance in the World Poker Tour is concerned, he does not have any title to his credit. But, he has reached the final tables twice and has 6 money finishes in World Poker Tour. Mark Seif purchased a US Poker Bowl franchise in the name of Detroit Absolute Nuts in the year of 2007, who won the very first US Poker Bowl Conference Championship. So far as his performance and achievements in the year of 2007 is concerned, his earnings amount more than 1.9 million US dollars.

This brings a bunch of questions to mind about integrity, how many times in the past has it happened, how many sites are open to this type of activity. It’s clear to me how good hands get beat regularly on line, and why would an owner of the site do something so wrong?

Frank Soul asked:


This issue must be addressed, and you must understand how to avoid it. It is just a fact of life that people are going to take advantage of other people in an unfair manner when given the opportunity to get an edge.

Whether it’s stealing from your local job or taking millions from innocent people through accounting frauds, it’s wrong. I am going to tell you these common cheats not so you can go try them yourself, but to prepare you for what to look for. Cheating is for losers and I don’t expect anyone who is reading this to ever cheat. Cheating is common in poker and you have to know how to avoid it and what to look for.

Cheating at the Corporate Level

It has even happened at the corporate level when a top level executive was caught using a server exploit in which he used to see other players hole cards. Eventually stealing millions from customers in the mid-part of 2007 at Absolute Poker. He was finally busted and this lead to the biggest scandal in poker. If you want updated info on this you’ll have to Google it.

Cheat One "Instant Messaging"

The first thing to look for is slow tables. You want to avoid these at all costs. Most of the time the players aren’t just trying to be concise about their actions, they are cheating. Another reason to avoid slow tables is because the more hands you play per hour the higher your profit is going to be.

A common way that people take your money is by working in teams. They will sit down at a table with two or three other friends and **** every penny out of any poor soul that sits down. They do this through a technique called Aiming. They use AIM (automated instant messaging) to tell each other what they have. It may not seem like a big help to each other but it is. Knowing that six cards are out of the deck can improve your odds by almost 12%.

Let me give you an example of how it can help them even more than that. Say they were aiming and one player had 9 2, the other hand 4 7, and the third hand 2 j. All three of these players folded pre-flop. The flop comes 2 2 A. If you’re sitting with an ace and you have someone betting like he has a two I think the aimer just might know you don’t have a two.

A ring game consists of ten players. These are hot spots for the cheaters because they can play against more players and use more people in their team and still keep their profit level high. These advantages that the cheaters have will make it almost impossible for you to win unless you’re just getting the cards that night.

Cheat Two "Co-Op Raising"

Another thing to look out for at tables is players with large stacks. Many times players will go in with a partner and raise re-raise each other pushing other unsuspecting opponents out of a pot. The raising and re-raising is supposed to make you think there are two very strong hands at play. Even the average player understands that when you’ve been raised and then re-raised in a hand that it’s time to run unless you have the absolute nuts. If you see weird folds where no matter what the player had he should have called due to pot odds then you should be suspicious as well.

Most of the time they are doing this with junk hands but as a good player you know the right play is to fold. Now that you know what you are looking for you can use this cheat to your advantage. If you spot two players constantly raising and re-raising each other but are never showing their cards you can trap them. Just calling in this spot will pay you off enormously. Most of the time they will only go to the river card betting big. By this time it doesn’t matter because they just raised and re-raised you enough to double your stack.

Cheat 3 "Chip Dumping"

This is probably the most common and easily executed cheat online. The most common place for this cheat is in a 100 player or more $100 buy-in or above tournaments. I have heard of as many as 7 guys working together to pull of this cheat because it increases their odds of winning enormously.

The process involves chip dumping. These players work in teams and dump their chips to each other and finally to one end guy. A guy who started out with 1000 chips just got 12,000 or more handed to him. I don’t know about you but if I double up early in a tournament only twice I’m almost guaranteed to make it to the final table.

The only thing that gets in the way of these cheaters is that you don’t start at the same table as your team-mate. This is ok because as soon as the players end up at the same table they dump whatever chips they have to each other. It’s pretty much a guaranteed way to make it to the final table. In tournaments where first place walks with 50 or 60 thousand it is worth the effort to these cheaters.
