Some poker rooms allow anonymity , so you cannot know who is the player you play against with , this is sth I like very much , if only all poker rooms adopt this idea one day , everything would be solved , cause online poker is not the same with live , by all means . Also all poker apps , for friendly games , home games , invitational games (like this) , annonymity everywhere No need to ghosting then , no need to try to protect yourself or try to cheat the others by using ghosting , less possible or impossible to use otther cheating methods , which exist nowadays .

It is very difficult to protect yourself from these boots. In one day i was playing on a poker room where a British player told me that: he saw the cards what was to appear in the turn and river. I was amazed and very disappointed. It's very hard to protect.

So many steal these days , and noone tries to catch them, eithem because he is one of them or because he's earning money by allowing this cheating to take place or because that's a good way to play with people's money and psychology . Cheating methods need to be abolished from onlione poker , on poker rooms or private poker apps and games . Not focusing on specific kinds of cheating , especially if it's a big name so as to bury him in a sh**hole . Focusing on some , focusing some months or days , everythiong else keeps on being a mess
Also on live poekr there are matters of cheating , things have to be done , not trying to find the scapegoat , the black sheep to blame for everything ....

This fight against the bots must be implemented by poker rooms but with a higher level of search and detection. Professional players can also cheat and it is not safe for many gamblers/players or amateurs. I like them to disappear and neutrality sites.

antonis you can also do this kind of things with some account from other player!you can come to croatia or some other country where you can play at party poker or poker stars and I will give you my passwords and username and you could use it!so nobody will know that somebody else play with my account and this isnt cheating on way when you use some program,but still isnt right!

I haven't cheated in my poker career in the online poker rooms , never did ghosting or whatever . I have never used another account to play , no reason , I suck the same , lol. Also , noone has played , ever , on my accounts on the poker rooms , my results on all of them guarantee this truth But I am not in poker since yesaterday , I have seen some things , read , watched , so as to know that some things are not right , need change drastically . The good will is needed , then everything will change in ONE NIGHT

I always tried to play correctly in all the poker rooms where i was active and i did not intend to cheat, so as not to lose in order my account permanently & to have a life ban in that place where i could be caught, if i chose this method. A fair play game is very good.
