The playback option doesn't work when I click on the video.

Not sure if this is specifically the issue, but to embed a YouTube video, you'll need to enclose only the 11-character video ID within brackets. The ID immediately follows v= in the YT hyperlink.

For example: if v=abc-123-def, then those 11 characters would go within the YT brackets in a 2+2 post.

If you include the & symbol, you've gone too far. Don't include the ampersand.

I'm pretty sure that within a year or two of solvers being public there were already people creating and categorizing large databases. Fedor is just the most recent to be caught.

The fedor story is largely irrelevant to the state of online poker IMO bc this type of cheating has likely been around for years, and while every year more and more people will turn to it, i dont see why this would make the poker landscape any worse than it was 1 week ago when the story wasnt public

Agree, I think a good few high profile names probably stepped away from online poker as a result of knowing this was in the community already.

The difference is that it shows people how easy it all is and I think you are going to see a sea of people joining the games with this setup. Getting the software and the database still felt a relatively unattainable thing for many and probably kept in close nit group. If you look hard enough that is no longer the case.
