interview in awesome article above throws some shade at hellmuth, and look at this gem from today
Mustapha Kanit raises from the small blind and Phil Hellmuth puts in a three-bet from the big blind. Kanit calls and they see a flop of KJJ . Kanit checks and Hellmuth bets 38,000. Kanit check-raises to 81,000 and Hellmuth goes into the tank. Hellmuth asks Kanit how much he started the hand with and then double checks his hole cards.
After about 90 seconds in the tank, Hellmuth announces a raise and puts out 125,000. He asks the dealer to pull in the 81,000 and gives a visual to Kanit that it is 44,000 more to call. Kanit calls and the turn is the 4x . Kanit checks and Hellmuth bets 150,000. Kanit check-calls and the dealer peels off 2x the on the river. Both players check.
"King is good," said Hellmuth without turning his hand over.
Kanit shows K9o and Hellmuth mucks his hand.
"Why do we try and bluff the amateurs," said Hellmuth after the hand. "They are going to give you 500K with a king and no kicker."
"I traveled a long way to play the tournament," said Kanit. "I just want to enjoy myself and play some hands."
"I'm not mad at you," said Hellmuth. "I'm mad at myself. You keep doing what you're doing and I'll keep doing what I'm doing. I bust people who play king-nine."
Mustapha Kanit - 1,010,000
Phil Hellmuth - 260,000

9's...LOL! so anyways my buddy calls out to Phil as he walked by looked at us nodding his head sort of acknowledging us as we had been watching so Phil/his wife stop and my buddy walked over a few feet to Phil says bad luck or whatever and then asks Phil to sign the black 99's and he does! then as they turn to walk out the door and we turned to walk away Phil stops and says "hey guys" loudly enuff for us to hear we stop turn around and he walk towards us and dapped us all up..knuckles! and asks us where we are from & chats for a few mins with us then tells us "GL in the series!" Lol i couldn't believe it after this happened, we all were like no1 back home is gonna believe this, my friend said he lost the cards but i still have the picture of them saved on my computer..sometimes i wonder how much those autographed black 99's by Phil Hellmuth would get on Ebay
LOL

So you wouldn't call the cops on her if she slipped a drug into your drink that rendered you unconscious and you woke up next morning in a hotel room with a screwdriver up your butt?
And you wouldn't call the cops on her if she beat you into a bloody pulp and then humped you before choking you out?
Let's face it. By rape you mean rough consensual sex. Because you wouldn't protest if she tried to force herself on you which means it wouldn't be rape.

I was going for the victimless crime angle. Maybe I should have just gone with a hacker putting money into my bank account.

The 3 regulated US markets use Geocomply geolocation technology, which works rather well, all things considered. There's never going to be a foolproof way to make sure that the person sitting in front of a computer is actually the account holder, but adopting Geocomply would be a major impediment to MA'ing. It geolocates the device you're playing on using visible WiFi networks, rendering a simple VPN to spoof your IP useless.
Doubt PS would employ it voluntarily in markets where they don't have to, because as reasonably effective as it is, it's still an impediment to gameplay (read: generating rake). And it still suffers from annoying false-positives. But hey: if you're serious about being an industry leader in game integrity, as PS claims to be, maybe this is one instance where you say "you know what: this is going to be a minor hit to our rake revenue and is going to introduce a frustrating experience for a small # of players, but this is what a grown-up, responsible, online poker entity does: they make decisions that cost them small amounts of money to protect the long-term integrity of the game."
Let's be clear: there's no magic bullet that's going to eliminate 100% of MA, collusion, bots, and all of the other ills that currently plague our game. And f**k Brian Hastings. But let's start to think more holistically about this, and stay open-minded to a process of incremental improvements that, slowly but surely, close loopholes and throw up obstacles to poker scumminess.

It is bad enough that an ex, a disgruntled work colleague, my boss, my wife
or a potential employer can via a datamining site track my play, when I play, stakes I play, amount I lose/win...I already give up a lot of personal privacy to play online, I really don't need my precise geolocation locked up in Stars servers and broadcast whenever I play accross the Internet for those nice guys at GCHQ to have access to as well.Now I get that it works for some US states promising to no let players in other states play but for me - No thanks. Having said that geolocation for high stakes, for that small player pool...sure why not? Still will not stop the remote PC but at least they would know where the remote PC is so it would need to match the player ID details not a server farm or a home address where just by accident a half dozen others happen to be playing too, either at the same time or using a shared setup.
