Message: [QUOTE="x2486, post: 1572526, member: 72408"] Sorry twoturntablez, I wasn't meaning to dissect your post like that, but it's easy to forget how it will look to the original poster when you're in the middle of an edit. Also, I guess I didn't really notice or think about your 1% comment at the end, and perhaps I misunderstood you intention regarding the full house example. I wasn't trying to offend. :shakehand Yes, I agree that greed can motivate people to cheat even if it's not in their best interest in the long run. I have read about the Ultimate Bet scandal, and another case where there was a problem with the shuffling algorithm that made the cards predictable, but I don't think I've ever heard a credible accusation of cheating in the form of the web site stacking the deck to favor a particular player. I think I read a while back that the server software for online casinos usually undergoes independent reviews for security and fairness. Regarding your hand history, that was a nice comeback, congrats! :congrats: I had one a long time ago where I came back from $5 to win a tournament. Unfortunately, I think that was back when I was doing play money. :hmpf: And of course, this does happen in live play, too. (Look up Jack Straus if you're not familiar with him) I recently posted a brag about a maniac who had an incredible run of suckouts, so I understand that these things seem like too big a coincidence to occur naturally, but as they say, that's poker. I just think that there is probably more to fear from cheating players than from within the organization. I see that pokerbots are getting better - that may be a real concern in the future if it's not already. [/QUOTE]
