The topic of cheating has been floating around the forums lately.. So i pose this question to you.. be honest..
If i had a program that allowed you to see every1 elses cards at the table an what the flop, turn, and river will be... would you use and steal every1 elses money?
be honest no one here can/should judge others decisions but are all up for debate and converstation

Humm, tough one. I guess if I really needed the money to survive I would do it in a heartbeat! I still don´t know, because somethings you only know when actually faced with the situation. It´s like in emergencies, people say they would do this, or do that, but when it actually happens, some are heroes and some are not.
Let´s see, years ago I had no money, but instead of doing something illegal I chose some good honest work, so that would be my answer. No I would not use such program, although I´d be temped.
Honestly? I probably would contact the Poker site and make a deal with them, knowing that they would pay me a lot of money for such information! There, I would not have done anything illegal, and would have received a great amount.
Isn´t that basically what happens in the case of ex-hackers who become IT security for some great company?
I have cheated in the past, but never with money involved, only to make my wife or friends really upset! Cheating as an art, not for money! Just like magic tricks.

ok when i read that fodz something else came to me... when and if you were to contact the site.. do you not think that that is blackmailing or entramptment? telling them that you have information of something that could severly hurt and hinder their site and you would tell them if the gave you money??

No no, it´s the opposite, I´m not demanding anything. They would give me money to be on their side, since I understand how the program works. Actually They would in a way be hiring me.
*** That is, if they WANTED to , of course they can always turn me down! But I definately would try it in that manner.

Its funny that this topic has come up, I was reading an article about cheating on Absolute (Pot Ripper) & my girlfriend was shocked there was software out there so you could see your opponents cards & wondered how easy it was to get hold of. Of course I had to show by using goggle it was something like 472,000 hits.
Back to the orginal point would I use it... the answer would have to be no its not worth getting kicked of a poker site if they find out your cheating. Secondaly I only play limits I can make a profit on anyway & I have improved my game so much in 6 months so I am making progress. More importantly I'm sure we all dream of sitting at a big poker tournament, say you win a seat at one of these poker tournaments with this software you are going to come undone at live play without it.
I've played on quite a few sites & come across some suspect behaviour from players i.e collusion. Most of the sites insist on English being spoken, there have been tables with conversations taking place in French & Spanish while both players still in hand & unexpected folds take place. Some people would report them as they are told to do if not speaking english but I don't. It doesn't feel right winning cash because you got people disqualified. I just realised you have to split them up knock out the weak player in the chain of collusion

By the way potripper wasnt using any 3rd party program or smth else he was just some of Prograammers of that abslotute poker room and he had some account via which u should see all cards .. so there is probably not hack which should make such a thing this was just internal thing

yeah sure it was an internal job who was responsible for it is a different matter, no one really knows what went on other than the powers that be at absolute but certainly no software hacks were used in that case

Cheating ey!! lol...... im sorry to say but if you must cheat at something to be good at it, its not for you move along. With me its all about pride and recognition. I am a good online player and i make my living out of it, im keeping under the radar which is how i like it...with that said i want to become famous online or live so lets say i do become famous online and i rule all the tables by using this 'magic cheating software' what then?? do i keep out of mortar casinos because i cant play?? And where's the pride or satisfaction of knowing you worked for something and deserve it??
... ofc i will dont go to sundaymilions and every week win it .. mb i will earn some little cash and then play normal or so
