It's not entirely FTP's responsibility to reimburse Isildur for the incident, it's Townsends,Hastings and South's. I see court action in the works over this one. As for FTP (and all online sites for that matter) , they need to find better ways to monitor (and block if possible) programs that are used for unfair advantages. Penalties for being caught using these programs should be enforced to the max, regardless of who u are

Throw the Poker bible at this Monkey. Ban him from every site or send him to China. Illegal software is illegal software. Bet he's not the only either.
Unbelievable that there are idiot's that actually believe Isildur1 has no right on his money back or at least part of it, these are probably the guys that will never roll at HS poker to get cheated.
Online poker is different from live poker and should remain that way. Brians Edge here is far greater from an online game where they rattle through excessive more hands an hour.

I'm really not getting this.
Why hasn't he already got his money back? it's obvious they shared the information. FT has made one of them the scapegoat, a previous cheater, and given him a bs suspension. Who are they kidding?
Give him his money back you immoral cheating scumbags!
The sites that are selling hand histories should be had a word with, as it's very shady that they're so readily available to anyone.

If someone steal cash like them from isildur is it breaking the law? Could he go to prison or something like that? Would be interesting... and kinda funny ;> Anyway Isildur1 is really slow , tooks him time to realize he want his cash back

now fulltilt are in a tight spot, they tried to get away from the situation with a stupid punishment to townsend. lets see what hastings has to say after this

I agree with Isildur1 as a red player was caught cheating, took lot of money from him and just got the red status removed for a month. That doesn't sound like justice.

ih8usukouts | 29/12/2009 11:57:37 GMT |
I was wondering "when" he was going to demand he get his money back, not "if." The Fulltilt rules have been broken by "Fulltilt pros" and should be dealt with accordingly. After all, if one of us average Joe players did this our accounts would be froze and all money taken from us. Now if Isildur1 was caught breaking the FT rules and took $4M from the FT pros you can damn well bet his account would be closed and money seized. I just laughed when I saw the punishments these guys "didn't get" oh I mean "got." Maybe Isildur1 should go to a poker room like Cake, where you can't use software like this. Oh wait, about a week ago I did see a player with the name "Isildur1" but he wasn't any good tho..lol

i think this scandal was the worst that could happen to the highstakes on full tilt. what i mean is: which new highstakesplayer will risk his money when he knows that the players will cheat on him if he is too good? if i would play there i would make some multiaccounts just to get sure nobody can see all my handhistories. the "punishment" makes it look like it's okay to cheat and for a pokersite it should be the most important thing to be reliable, otherwise players will move to other sites

@ fcumred Getting hand histories from games you didn't played is illegal. Sharing tips about the opponents isn't.
Townsend did both and got a stupid 1 month ban punishment. Ridiculous, many players get banned permanently for using illegal software and get their funds frozen, so why not to apply the same penalty to a pro. Good example comes from above.
If it stays like this: Crime pays you back.

I think he has to get something by Fullt Tilt because it allowed this scandal happen. Instead FT decided not to punish him......

Rules are rules, hope Isildir gets some of his cash back, was very interesting to watch and a shame cheats have forced him to play less.

JordanBomber | 29/12/2009 23:48:16 GMT |
these players need to be punished, its only right

I dont know if you are aware, but using hand histories on players is NOT against the rules. Far from it.
There are countless serious players who use hand history databases to keep their eyes on players. You would be very hard pushed to find a serious poker player who doesnt do it.
Certainly every pro will have some form of software to help them in their game, and that is 100% legitimate.
Townsend had a database of 20,000 hands on Isildur, the indiscretion he made, was to obtain a further 30,000 from someone else.
These he analysed, then discussed with Hastings. Sharing what he felt were pertinent facts about Isildurs game.
What he did is was a breach of the rules, but its a rule that has never fully been implemented, and those that say Full Tilt close accounts and take money, for those that have been caught doing it, are completely wrong.
Pokerlistings offers you the very same information that Townsend had access to. So its public information. How many people on Pokerlistings use that information ? Most probably thousands, every single day of the week.
How many of us go to OPR or SHARKSCOPE to track a players ROI.. Most probably 90% of us... That is illegal. Do we get our accounts locked for doing it.. Do we heck....
The rule he broke is a rule that is broken by a good 50% of poker players every single day, the only difference is he openly admitted doing it, and thats why he got a 30 day ban. Not because it was a serious case of cheating ( which it wasnt ) but because Full Tilt have to make an example of him to show they do uphold their rules if they need to...

All online play has cheats and software use going on in my book you cant expain how some calls all ins and hit runner runner to beat you

DAGOR | 16/01/2010 00:09:13 GMT |
This story proves one thing we can be a good poker player, but not very smart also ...
Isidur because he says he quickly sensed that something was wrong. Why continue this case and to reduce over 4 million dollars (tilt, ego ...?)?
Hastings because I'd like to know what is the point - how small it is - to boast having shared HH in this story, knowing that this is not tolerated ...
PS: I think we overestimate the advantage Hastings has been having access to HH enemy. The Holdem is a game of perpetual adaptation. I doubt qu'Isidur always plays the same way, regardless of its opponents
