Message: [QUOTE="Jack Daniels, post: 802973, member: 1954"] Also, if iirc, one of the ways that poker site maintain integrity of the game is to independently feed each player with their own data stream. So whn you see your cards, those cards were sent directly to your computer. Your opponents cards are sent to them only, they aren't sent to you and shown by card back. The card back is just a graphic placeholder. When it's time for you to see an opponent's cards, those cards are specifically sent to you at that time. So, for someone to do what you're suggesting (trying to monitor any data streams at all), that person would have to first hack the pokersite server and get inside their firewall. And that is nearly impossible without it being an inside job. There's a reason that casino/gambling/poker websites and the porn industry lead the world in security. [/QUOTE]
