Yeah sure, investigations cost money and they get their rakes anyway, so why should they care? (now i know Yelzen!) |

I can buy Turbo Hold'em or whatever if I want to play against a pre-programmed strategy. I'm playing for real money online because I want to play against real players.
Maybe they could just implement a feature like you find on web sites where you have to enter a code in order to proceed. Shouldn't be that hard. |

It should also be mentioned that there is little to no reason for any online site to pursue this aggressively. They're making rake from the bots, too, so there's no problem until it becomes a PR nightmare. |

when I play I wanna play against other people.
Of course you can outplay them, but just in a stare way.
When I wanna play against a computer I play W**P on my PSP.
That's the main concern I think. |

It takes money away from the fish, and it's just unethical. FTP hasn't made a response to the thread yet, but it's been since last night since I've looked at it. It's a serious thing for a poker site to turn a blind eye to, and this shouldn't be taken lightly. |
