A few months before i stopped playing I reported a 100% bot in bet365, where the traffic isn't amazing so its kind of easy to spot. The answer from their support was basically "give us more information".... they couldn't even be bothered doing their own research. Guessing ACR is kind of the same. Sadly Eastern European bots are overtaking the space. Gambling sites are pretty scummy, PS used to be cool but then the greedfest began as well. I was absolutely disgusted by the practice of all poker sites for valid reasons.
Also, yeah, DN is a fucktard, too bad the public won't realize it. At least other pros do, so I bet he s taking a lot of shit at the tables

Shitty thing is, the gravity of the situation that Polk is saying doesn't hit home to the average joe.
Fuck. Baal. You. haha, yeah, you. You were an ambassador. Until they let you go.
Don't get me wrong, I'd take the free buy-ins too, but, you lose a lot of clout with the stance you took.
Anyways. They're playing their corporate cards right, profiting more... etc. etc.
I miss the Scheinbergs

Oh come on Baal
you haven't left on your own you weren't public except here when asked, and you definitely haven't been proactive.
Even now you have ex pro in your sig
You're a fucking sell out just like most of us are to some extent, it's our job, nothing wrong with that, that's how business works
93% Sure!

sry i derailed haha, but the video is too good.
There was a seriously big bot ring on globalpoker that was grinding as high as 10/20 up until about 4 days ago. Bots have become very good now. But they are easy to detect still if you just pay attention. unfortunately the sites do not give a fuck and rely soley on regs exposing them. and even then, that sometimes isnt enough,

I've never pretended to quit, they didnt renew my contract I've publicly said that many times.
Of course I'm not going to be like "this rake increase is fucking bullshit!" in a tweet, but when I was asked I said that I didn't agree with the decision but its ulltimately a business and they are free to run it as they want.
Ike Haxton and Alex Millar quit because of the supernova thing and I think it speaks a lot about their integrity, personally I didn't feel strongly about it, I would have wanted to compensate the players and they didnt but it wasn't a huge deal to me.
Thankfully my integrity wasn't tested as much as Daniel's but he has clearly failed that test, so I feel fine casting stones

I don't really follow him as closely as some people most likely, but yeah, he has been looking progressively worse the last few vids I've seen of him.
Countdown for 6th floor

I had seen him tweet out that he had what was thought to be some sort of mild sickness/flu and it turned out to be something worse. Think he was hospitalized briefly
online bob is actually a pretty smart person, not at all like the creepy fucker that sits in the sofa telling me he does nasty shit to me when im asleep - pinball

I actually sent him a request on skype
I'd be willing to make a comeback into the podcast world
Just to get a proper interview style on Joey's poker and life journey as a whole where he's the whole focus instead of his guests, feels like he deserves that
i think he's on the right track. it's time to find out how deep this rabbit hole goes.

Obviously Daniel and Doug dont like each other so Doug the news anchor is going to plug every hole Daniel gets hihimself but he honestly deserves it for being so fake. I bet Doug has to make a lot of sacrifices in order to say what he says but in the long run hes probably doing the right thing.

The bots were very obvious some years ago at Everest poker. No metagame, no chat, no tilt, instantly decisions always nomatter what, robotic play/ranges, playing 24/7, never moving up in stakes, random nicknames w some random numbers/letters.. I wonder how much more they developed since then (Everest poker not giving a fuck obv)
Very frustrating for someone used to the brood war community, were wgtour admins would look through ton of replays if the community were suspicious about someone.
