Cheating at on-line poker

Cheating at Online Poker!
This is being sold as “No Rules Poker” on the internet.
It has a beautifully written ad which stopped me in my tracks when I read it. It told how I could see my opponents cards, just as I see my cards on the screen. What a deal that is. I will be able to know what my opponents hole cards are! I read the ad again (it was quite long). I’ve been around too long to believe what the ad said, and moved on.

A few days later I came across a forum post of a customer of the above ad. He was so angry he posted the whole damn package for anyone’s viewing. And boy, did I laugh.

I read it in less than an hour. It is such bullsh**. Let me give you a summary of it's contents:
Part one: pertains to "collusion". Nothing I didn't know already. The author is talking about you and your buddy playing the same SNG and are on the phone telling each other their hole cards.
Part two included some info on a Poker bot that you can buy somewhere else. I have no idea if that idea is realistic. I did go to the site and read another well written, and long, ad on poker-bots. A poker bot is a program that will allow a “robot” to play, and win, without you being there. Hmmmmm!.
Part three was some 1st class real bullsh** regarding "linguistics". He gives examples of using the chat to influence what your opponent does. Totally bogus.
Part Three: pertains to installing a program, and get it onto your opponents computer. You have to, at the minimum get his password, user name, ISP, etc.; and I'm not sure if the rest of the computer oriented stuff would work if you could even get that info.

He gives a money back guarantee. I can't see anyone being happy or finding this useful.
What an entrepreneur Ken Chan (the author) is though. He's written an advertisement that grabs people's attention. I'm sure he's made a bundle of money.
I'm glad I didn't buy. I would have been requesting my money back. How long do you think I would have to wait?????
I'm embarrassed that I gave this ad the attention I did.
I’d like to hear from others on their thoughts/interaction regarding the above product.

Glad you posted this. The online poker community has been especially worried about online cheating lately with these "special programs". I knew they were bullshit but it's good to get confirmation.

Here's one form of "cheating" that can be easily proven. Three players, sometimes four, having computers sitting side by side, separate IPs, go into a SitnGo room. There are other unsuspecting players. But the "odds" are now stacked up against these unspecting players 4Fold. Its simply a matter of "one of the four" playing out the best hand, and the "win" is then split 4-ways when settlement time comes, usually end of month. No one suspects this "grand theft" of a table. In fact, the 4some engages in "chat" to cover their misdeeds, being critical of one another, and drawing in comment from other unsuspecting players, all designed to make the "rig" appear to be "just an open NL game, with the usual chat garbage that goes along with it. Some people who used to be in "day trading" (stocks), have decided this form beats the stock market. They gather often, play often, and you, the one who goes "online" is one of the unsuspecting. Best to NEVER play real money online, stick with the "fake money" and learn all the "whys" from the novice, to better prepare yourself at the casino tables, where the real action is - and also where there are plenty of rookie fish.
