I think it’s good for poker in the sense of more people are talking about poker and maybe more people will play or it could be the opposite. Thank you for your comment.

A controversial issue, everything is fine if it is used for good, it simplifies the game and the growth of professional skills, but there may be the opposite effect.

I also think this is bad and unfair! After all, no one uses it in real life and it's interesting to watch it.

and if cheating were allowed, learning the game would be pointless.

Cheating cannot be used in poker. This may be perceived as a fraud now, but I think people will soon begin to perceive programs as an assistant, and I think we are not ready for this at the moment.

I don´t think that talking about cheating in poker will be beneficial for the game. If anything, discussions like this will solidify the bad image a lot of people still have.

I actually stopped by to tell you your neighbors house was on fire & the flames were getting close to your house, but hey, don't want to give the neighborhood a bad image so, never mind.

Its not good to have this kind of publicity, as it creates doubt about the game on so many levels. Being able to prove anything one way or another will be next to impossible. If I were someone who didn't really know much, but was interested in playing it would potentially put me off for sure. When money is involved, you have to be able to trust the things legitimacy 100%, in all kinds of situations, not just poker. These high profile cases are not good, as nothing will be proven.

I think that cases of cheating bring only harm to poker in general. There will always be people who are ready to cheat others, but nevertheless, poker will always be the best card game.

Cheating in poker is never good. I’m. Sure the old yarn is “you’d get a bullet back in the days” lol. I’ve played w cheats live. Rig the deck when others are distracted and it’s their deal next.

Not only poker but every other game should have decency. Then everything is perceived adequately.

Well, I haven't understood what exactly is meant now. Do you mean when someone cheats and you find out that you warn people about the fraud or what is meant? When it comes to whether you think it's good that you can cheat, then I can only say never and no matter where cheating is something you can't or shouldn't accept. But the fact that there will always be people who will try it, you can't stop them

Certainly cheating news is bad for poker and any other form of gambling, sport or entertainment. A person's character is always more important than frauds. Clean game. Ever!

I am fine either way and news of cheating won't affect my decision in playing both live and online but I discussed this controversy that happened at Hustler Casino with my friends that are also recreational players but love poker and study to improve their game and the majority opinion was that if this things can happen at such a high level how can we be sure about the fairness at our local casinos that are way way behind from the security point of view... I guess this kind of cheating allegations won't matter too much to pros and recreational players that do research before playing somewhere both live and online, still this isn't a good look for poker in general and I wonder how many people won't pick poker, as a hobby and a recreational activity to maybe try to relax and try to make some extra money, because of it...

If cheating is being reported, of course not, it will only increase fear, not the opposite.

I also think this is bad and unfair for those who really make an effort to study, learn and play the game in a fair way
