10 Poker Scandals


There is a saying, where is a lot of money,  temptations are great.

Below are some of the great online poker scams presented by www.tightpoker.com and at the end of the quote you have a link to the full article.

''' Ultimate Bet / Absolute Poker Go Bust
The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) was passed in 2006, making transactions between online sites and financial institutions unlawful. This led to many online poker sites pulling out of the US market, but Ultimate Bet / Absolute Poker continued to trade alongside other names such as PokerStars and Full Tilt – their combined player pool was known as the Cereus Poker Network.
This all changed in 2011 after ‘Black Friday’, when the US department of justice and the FBI closed down the operation of sites in the US, with Absolute Poker / Ultimate Bet being indicted. The federal government seized the funds, which amounted to no more than $3 million, despite the balances of the players amounting to more than $50 million. The main reason there was such a huge hole in the finances is because the site had paid out the victims of fraud with other player’s funds.

  • Full Tilt ‘Ponzi’ Scheme
‘Black Friday’ would also uncover another poker scandal, this time associated with Full Tilt, who were the second biggest poker site at the time. Alongside indictments aimed at PokerStars and Absolute Poker / Ultimate Bet owners and employees, Ray Bitar and Nelson Burtnick of Full Tilt poker were indicted. These individuals were charged with charged with fraud, money laundering, and violation of United States federal gambling laws.
On September 20th 2011, further accusations of defrauding poker players out of more than $300 million were made against Chris Ferguson, Howard Lederer, Rafe Furst and Ray Bitar. The justice department claimed that Full Tilt were running a ‘Ponzi’ scheme, allowing them to pay out $444 million to themselves and other famous poker players. More than a year and a half later, Ray Bitar reached a deal with prosecutors to plead guilty to criminal charges and was ordered to surrender his assets.
PokerStars would eventually purchase Full Tilt poker and the majority of the funds lost were paid back to players. This would take nearly three years in all.

  • The Lock Poker Scam

In May 2012, Lock Poker made the move back to the Cake network, after allegedly buying the network and renaming it Revolution Gaming (this claim was later found out to be false). It was this point that player pay outs started to slow down and this caused other skins on the network to slow down with payments, laying the blame firmly at the feet of Lock Poker.
In October 2013, Lock suddenly started its own network, with brand new software developed for the site. The slow payment to players continued and eventually these stopped altogether. In April of 2015 Lock Poker shut down altogether and it is believed to have cost the player base millions of dollars. The site was regulated in Curacao and many players have criticized the local government for their complete inaction on the matter.
The Lock Poker scandal shows a good example of a site which offers bonuses, promotions and rake-back levels which are just too high, making the running of the company unsustainable.

  • Pitbull Poker Scandel
In 2009 another scandal hit the online poker world, when ‘chesterboy’, a user of the 2+2 forum made claim that Pitbull poker might have super-users on the site. ''' ........

ReBel is the name, poker is its game




... ''' History of AIs in Skill-based Games
May 2015 - four poker players named Bjorn Li, Dong Kim, Doug Polk, and Jason Les, battled against AI Claudico. The 80,000 hands challenge that lasted 8 weeks concluded with 3 of the 4 pros winning considerably against the program, though the computer experts called it a tie.

2016 - the AI named AlphaGO created by Google DeepMind software had beaten the best Go players in the world. Go is a Chinese game resembling chess involving two players and determined strategies.

January 2017 - the contest "Brains vs. Artificial Intelligence: Upping the Ante" involved AI Libratus defeating poker pros Daniel McAulay, Dong Kim, Jason Les, and Jimmy Chou.

2019 - Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) researchers developed AI systems, Cepheus and DeepStack, that are able to handle complex games like poker. After five years of research, the team claimed it had successfully solved 6-Max No-Limit Hold'em poker.

ReBel is the name, poker is its game
The name of the bot is the shortened form of "Recursive Belief-based Learning" which focuses on self-learning amid imperfect information conditions. In the paper's title it said "Combining Deep Reinforcement Learning and Search for Imperfect-Information Games, written by Noam Brown, Anton Bakhtin, Adam Lerer, and Qucheng Gong from the Facebook AI Research team."

ReBel was made based on the earlier poker AI Deepstack, the first bot to beat a human back in 2017. Just like AI Libratus, ReBel makes use of self-play to learn how to play heads-up No-Limit Hold'em. The main difference with ReBel versus other early poker AI versions is that it uses the so-called public belief states (PBS).

PBS is a new self-learning mechanism used by ReBel, which includes not only analyzing current information about the game but it also has an intuitive decision-making skills based on the previous moves made by the opponents.

ReBel takes into consideration not only the info about the visual game state, like the bet sizing, known cards, and even the range of hands the opponent may have, but it also accounts for each player's belief about the state they are in. This is somewhat similar to how a real human might consider whether an opponent thinks he is ahead or behind in a certain hand.

To make this possible, ReBel trains two different AI models via self-play reinforcement learning: a value network and a policy network. The bot then operates on PBS.

Simply put, ReBel not only analyzes the hand itself but it also analyzes how to opponent evaluates it, just like what successful (human) players do.


ReBel's Results Revealed
The Facebook team conducted experiments in which ReBel played two-player version of Hold'em, turn endgame Hold'em (a simplified version of the game with no raises on the first two betting rounds), and Liar's Dice.

Compared to all its predecessors, ReBel is obviously much faster - it spends at least 2 seconds less than Libratus. In general, no more than 5 seconds to decide and make a move.

So far the only poker player that battled against ReBel is Dong Kim - he was also one of the players who lost to Libratus. After 7,500 hands, the poker bot outperformed the human player for 0.165BB per hand, while Libratus scored 0.147BB. ''' ...

Phil Ivey Settles $10.1M Lawsuit with Borgata



 did they settle?

... ''' Nobody knows if Borgata just gave up on pursuing the money or if Ivey agreed to return any of the winnings.
In his 2016 ruling, the District Court judge noted that Borgata agreed to wire Ivey's front money and winnings to a bank account in Mexico, so the casino has long known that the money left America. Still, it sought court approval to skim through Ivey's domestic bank accounts.
One possible reason for Borgata agreeing to a settlement at this point is that if it loses to Ivey on appeal, it could "potentially create a precedent that could harm parent company MGM Resorts International in future cases involving cheating or advantage casino play."
While it appears there's more downsides than upsides at this point for Borgata, the settlement doesn't seem to be very costly for Ivey.
If Ivey could've won in his appeal, the case would have continued on remand, thereby returning to the lower court for reconsideration. This would force Borgata to give back the $124,410 it had already seized from Ivey, and nothing else is guaranteed after that. Both parties would also continue shelling out attorney fees, which have been mounting all this time as the case goes on. ''' ..

partypoker ambassador Isaac Haxton talks about the Return of Live Poker




... ''' Masks are likely the first thing on many people's minds. At a minimum, I think taboos and rules against face coverings are gonna have to go. If a player is more comfortable wearing a mask, it does not seem reasonable for tournament officials to prohibit it or for their peers to give them a hard time. Should wearing masks at the table become standard, expected, or even mandatory? I could go either way on this. I'm currently inclined to think that's not necessary. If a player is feeling sick and/or coughing and wants to wear a mask to protect others, this should absolutely be encouraged.
In fact, the way we think about playing while infectious probably needs to be reconsidered. When you've traveled across the world at significant expense to participate in a tournament, it's a hard decision to make to skip it because you're feeling ill. In my nearly 15 years playing live tournaments, I don't think I've ever done it. I'd do my best to cough down my shirt and disinfect my hands regularly, but I wouldn't even consider taking a day off. I think most of my peers are similar. It's a somewhat common sight to see players at the table coughing persistently or blowing their nose every few minutes. I think our expectations here should, and can, change. ''' ... 



'''' The poker community is remarkably good at self-policing. If we can all agree that it is poor behavior to register a tournament or show up to a cash game when you know you have a cold or flu, I think we can all hold each other accountable to stop doing this and make a big difference in how much illness is spread at poker events. We could also start scanning people for fevers before letting them play. I'm torn on that measure, but I think the upside is probably worth it.
It seems likely to me that we can make some improvements with the hygiene of the chips, cards, and tables. I don't really have the technical knowledge to know what makes sense here, so I'd love to get some feedback from any readers who do. I know there are antimicrobial coatings that are used on high touch surfaces in public areas like hand railings and elevator buttons. I don't know how feasible, effective, or expensive it would be to apply this sort of technology to chips and cards, but it seems worth looking into. Incorporating some kind of sanitizing step in an automatic shuffler box might also have potential. Sanitizing table surfaces with a simple wipe down periodically certainly makes sense. ''' ...
