Thanks lots0. You are the same type of player as me then. I have my moments, but overall I'm not that good either, lol.

I'd be interested to hear what conclusion you come to about the PT software. My statement was certainly not based on any technical knowledge, only on my impression of how it seemed to work when I d/l'd and installed it.

Totally agreed Chuchu. I couldn't have said it better myself.

Exactly Zoozie!! To put it in the simplest terms, what are the odds of flipping a coin and it coming up heads 179 times in a row? Maybe not the best analogy as with poker, there is an element of skill and reading your opponents...but NO ONE can make the correct call 179 times in a row. Not possible.

Shame on them indeed Pokeraddict. Which forum was this, if you don't mind me asking?

That response certainly leaves alot to be desired. I'd have to go back and check, but it seems similar to the standard "form" type email they sent out to some of the players who had emailed inquiring as to what was going on.

Furthermore, the play of the players in question did not substantiate claims that they were involved in chip dumping, or any other improper activity.
Ha ha...okay Absolute Poker. No chip dumping? Who the hell is checking the hand histories.....the three blind mice?

Agreed SeattleSinner. And my vote would probably be for number one....total incompetence.
