I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt that you are leveling here. Seems to be a pointless one. If you are not leveling then I'm not sure what else can be said...

They did not have hole card cams at the WSOP until 2002 I believe (did not have them in 1989).


Of course .... this is irrelevant.

You are most certainly wrong. Here is an excerpt from another article:
Quote:
But why is Mr. Orenstein so important to the sport of poker today, anyway? Ten years ago, nobody had gotten a chance to see the hole card camera in action. He had applied for his patent (Number 5,451,054 – you can even look it up at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office website http://www.uspto.gov/) in 1994, and it was granted on September 19, 1995. Even though this was a momentous date in poker history, nothing really happened for a couple years. Nobody picked up on Orenstein’s innovation, until the British show Late Night Poker used it in 1997.
That said I'm glad you are finally acknowledging that "hole card cams" are an actual entity in themselves and nothing to do with online poker.

So what? Why can't they reference Phil Gordon being an announcer on other shows? (There is no reason they can't .... and they actually did.)

While you appear to have nothing to offer, there are others who have a genuine interest in these issues and are worth discussing these issues with.

I don't know how to keep track of how often somebody else gets dealt a pokcet pair when I am dealt a pocket pair because I only get to see other players' cards if it goes to showdown and I only get to see the cards of the player(s) who go to showdown. So most of the time I get dealt a pocket pair I don't know what most or any of the other players got dealt.


If somebody else can think of something post it and I'll post the numbers from my sample.

wtf, no.

Like, there are many things you can accuse me of, but covering up cheating in online poker is not one of them.

Josem had a large role in uncovering and exposing the cheating that was occurring at UB FYI .... to explain what Josem just meant.

Reading that part made me laugh. Must have been the way I read it.

You, admittedly, work for an online site.

It's not a far stretch of the imagination to surmise you will cover up improprieties from your employer, yet seek them out from competing sites.

Of course it is a stretch of the imagination, because I've never done this.

I said "far stretch".
The fact that you distort the context of the conversation and the meaning of a post elicits an effort to conceal what is true.

He started working for pokerstars AFTER all that. Do you EVER make a justified accusation? Why not ask questions rather than jumping in.

This is a well known story around here. Plus, you can actually ASK him. Oh wait, I know, during that whole thing Josem really was a pokerstars employee undercover. He set up the whole thing, including going on 60 minutes. Then later pretended to get hired by pokerstars for real.

I would guess there are billions of posts here. As smart as I must seem to you, I cannot be expected to follow them all.

I am the guys at stars, who, when someone talks crap to me, I throw them beyond tilt.

I am new to this debate, but that doesn't take away

the validity and logical basis of my arguments.

(separate and bold for easy quoting).

I have always maintained I only post here when I am at stars, and that I do not believe it is rigged. Cash Omaha is colluded sic, my HH request was a setup, I know how the results would be. To bad no one has the access to stars HH's......they should give them to a security official there.


I will continue to berate beraters, and mock the weak arguments that all is kosher, nothing to see here, move along.
