Ecogra Endorses Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet

[Roanan]

Absolute Poker - if that is the site you're referring to and not eCogra - is not accredited at this site. As it states in the Rogue Pit "Unknown - Kahnawake - Cheating - poker room".

My post was specifically referring to Ultimate Bet, but as Ultimate Bet and Absolute Poker have merged, there no longer is any difference between the two (other than some games are site specific, as are some pros)

In addition I don't believe being in the 'rogue pit' was ever warranted.
As I mentioned in my post above, this story was completely oversensationalized by the American media, and the amount of cheating that may occur on the site is minute compared to when goes on at all of the other major sites.

Since the scandal, security is a high priority with Ultimate Bet and Absolute Poker and you are safe playing there.

Anything hinky that may be going on will be small potatoes (chip dumping, collusion, etc.) and most smart players catch on quick. With instant access available to support via telephone, live chat or even using the built in 'report chat' option will bring these kinds of matters to their attention immediately.

In addition, this site also has the unique distinction of having a direct number for their security departments as well as accounting departments.
This means you simply have to ask and they will let you speak to whomever you need to rectify any issues immediately.


For this reason, as well as all the reasons I mentioned in my previous post, I beg Casinomeister to pull them out of 'The Pit'
I give my word that they are not deserving of their current dishonour.

I also pledge myself to be of assistance if you ever have any issues that you feel are not being resolved properly or in a timely manner.
(I am not their representative, other than being a minor affiliate, but I do have an excellent relationship with them. Plus Max has a big enough workload as it is )

Do you really think 'the best no limit hold 'em player in the world' would be associated with an unscrupulous site?

Do you think the world's richest sportsman would risk his marriage, his clean reputation and future career by having affairs with porn actresses?

Lol, not a good analogy, lololol!

Good thing the 'reputation' feature has an 'I disapprove' option to deduct reputation points when someone makes an ignorant insulting comment.

I recently took a 100% instant deposit bonus at AP and played a few MTT's ranging from $1 to $10 entry. Compared to PokerStars and FullTilt, AP seems to have a lot of young players (i.e under 18) and pokerbots. In fact I sent information to AP support regarding 2 suspect players but never heard back from them.

Regardless of anything that may have occured in the past, I felt like I was playing with mostly thugs and con artists - certainly not 'gentlemen'.

A negative reputation from you is really going to hurt me.

Maybe, but you are free to violate Rule 1.1 as often as possible, so when you get properly punished, don't whine like a baby.

Really? ....so I assume that the players at PokerStars or FullTilt give you a warm fuzzy welcome when you sit at a table there?

Every site has moronic immature players. The main difference is that Ultimate Bet and Absolute poker have instant contact methods for dealing with this.

Try getting a fast, reasonable response from FT or Stars for ANY issue.

Currently I am sitting at a tournament table on FullTilt, (almost ITM) with at least FOUR members from the same RUSSIAN CHEATING TEAM. (I may actually have 7 of them, but 3 aren't chatting)
Talk about a boring game now because not one of them will play against the other.
At least I have the Google Translator open so I can read what they are saying to each other.

FullTilt and PokerStars are well known for having teams, but they will never do anything about it (especially PokerStars) because some of these teams generate a LOT of rake. Especially the Intellipoker group on Stars.

So by the standards raised in this and other related threads, all poker sites should be considered rogue.


Addendum: Turns out that FIVE were definitely part of the same team, plus two cheerleaders came along.
Almost 1 1/2 hours sitting at the table with them, and AT NO TIME WHATSOEVER were two of them in the hand at showdown, until we made the money.
