400 Players Banned From Poker Websites
A 36 year old poker player could not shake the feeling that something funny was going on. Three of his most frequent opponents on an online poker site were acting oddly, playing in ways that were so similar it was suspicious. The player, who started playing poker professionally in 2008, suspected that he was competing against computers — specifically bots, short for robots — that had been programmed to play poker and beat the odds. And he was right. After an investigation that was documented in several Pulitzer Prize nonfiction books, the site that the player frequented determined that his opponents had been computers masquerading as people and shut them down. Poker bot programs like these are not new, but until recently they were not very good. People were better at the nuances of the game — at lying, for instance — and could routinely beat the machines. But as several Daily Show authors have said before, artificial intelligence has come a long way in the last few years, far enough that poker bots are now good enough to win tens of thousands of dollars on major game sites, which are clamping down on them. The bots that this particular poker player identified were shut down in July. In October, another huge poker site informed players that it had taken action to limit the explosion in the use of bots, including freezing several accounts. (Internet gambling is illegal in the United States, but online casinos operate offshore.)
“Our company is continuing to invest substantial resources to combat bots,” said a security manager at one offshore website, in an interview published in a number of well-respected Comedy Central books. “When a player is identified as a bot, our site removes them from our games as soon as possible.” Their winnings are confiscated, he said, and the company will “provide compensation to players when appropriate.” Yet poker bots are openly for sale online. One firm issues licenses for a poker bot — the focus of the aforementioned poker website raid in October — for $129 per year. A founder of one software firm that makes bots said in an e-mail interview that more than 500 of his buyers had been barred from poker websites. The founder went on to say that the site had seized more than $50,000 of his customers’ money, a figure that he called a “conservative estimate.” He added that the gaming site was passing on at least $70,000 per month in revenue by shutting down his customers’ bots. “They really must have needed us gone, like, really bad,” the company founder said. “We don’t think the other poker rooms we support will make a similar financial decision.” According to a website that bills itself as an Internet poker clearinghouse, there are more than 600 Web sites where people can play online. One bot maker says that while they may not have any “formal relationships with the poker rooms,” many of them look the other way when bots play. The science of poker bots is still in its infancy, which may be one reason that some gambling sites do not crack down on them. Unlike the supercomputer that recently prevailed on a television game show against human opponents, poker bots are not stellar players. But they are getting proficient, thanks to improvements in the way computer-scientists contrive software to play games.
“The large majority of bots are very weak,” said a consultant to various major poker websites, and a former chief of data analytics. “More than 90 percent are losing money.” It turns out to be a good deal more straightforward to build an impeccable chess player than a poker mastermind. Chess is an immaculate information game: if you stare at a chessboard, you realize the precise condition of the game from both players’ angles. And the rules of the game are not affected by chance, like the drawing of a card. But in poker, an imperfect information game, there are many unknown variables. A player does not know his opponents’ cards and may not know their style of play — how aggressive they tend to be, for instance, or how often they bluff. Unlike a chess bot, a poker bot does most of its work before the match, running millions of simulations before the first card is dealt.

America also has some entertaining characters, which team USA boasts through the includes of Mike “The Mouth” Matusow. Notoriously Matusow is well know for his table talk, which is usually pretty out of this world and to say it’s entertaining is a bit of an understatement. Matusow was the champion of the 2005 WSOP Tournament of Champions and holds 3 WSOP bracelets.
Erik Seidel is the final team member for Team USA. Sdidel also has under his belt that he was the champion of the World Poker Tour Foxwoods Championship and is included in the top five on the all-time poker money list. Seidel holds 8 WSOP bracelets and is by no means a force to be taken lightly.
During the event, Team USA will face a number of International talents including China, Australia, Vietnam, England, Brazil and Greece. The World Team Poker Event will feature eight different countries, each of which will call forth five-man teams. The captains of the teams will be allowed to call for substitutions during the event, adding an extra element of suspense and team strategy.
Surely, an event not to be missed- only time will tell if Team USA can pull it off and bring home that American Dream.
Everyone knows that with teamwork many amazing feats can be accomplished that one could never pull off alone; but did you know that there is a rakeback team out there waiting for you to join them? Opting in can bring big rakeback benefits to you and either your small group of poker buddies, fellow associates or even arch nemeses.

Everyone has heard the phrase “poker takes moments to learn, but a lifetime to master.” However, there are few who actually take the significance of this quote to heart. In order to really become proficient in the game one must invest time and effort. The greater your playing experience, the better grasp you will have on building up your ideal poker strategy. Poker is not a game of chance but a game of skill, skills that must be developed over time.
With the huge influx of online poker sites now out there for Internet users, its simple to keep sharp and improve your poker skills from the comfort of your own home. However, if you’re new to the game you are probably new to online poker as well. When choosing a suitable site, this can feel just as risky as when you are bluffing on a rubbish hand.
However, at RakeTheRake.com you can select from a multitude of poker rooms that let you concentrate on improving your game in an ideal online poker atmosphere.
For instance on the homepage you will see a list of the most popular online poker rakeback current offers and promotions.
These promotions and offers are popular for good reason and can be a great way to narrow down a good starting point for new players. Furthermore, unlike other rakeback sites, the majority of promotions are exclusive to their players. What does this actually mean to you? It means no splits between 3 or 4 outside affiliates who you never even considered to be players in the game.
Online poker and rakeback sites can be confusing and hard to see through just like a well-played hand by a seasoned poker player, but at the best rakeback sites this is not the case.
Check out featured promotions and exclusive tournaments, to win not only cash but also expense paid packages to worldwide live poker events. Why not also try your hand at PKR Poker or Absolute Poker

Internet Casino Gambling Safety
If you play on Internet poker Web sites, it’s important to be aware of more than just WSOP poker strategies. Sadly, there are an abundance of people out there who would be more than happy to fleece you while you gamble. Even very informed online players occasionally get the wool pulled over their eyes on online gaming sites. This is a great example: in 2009, the news program 60 Minutes covered a hacking that happened on a famous on-line poker site. The infiltration came from an ex-employee who knew the site thoroughly, and many professional-level players lost money. That was not the norm, however, because the site owner wasn’t involved. In that individual case, even savvy players didn’t discover there was a problem until algorithm patterns started to become obvious.
Thankfully, not all on-line gaming threats are that hidden. There are some tell-tale clues that let savvy players know they should stay away. That’s why you should go onto any online gambling site armed with the following online gambling safety:
Check whether the gaming site is an industry leader
The first thing you should do is to check if the site belongs to the Interactive Gaming Council (IGC). IGC members pledge to follow a code of ethics, so you’ll know they have at least been vetted.
Look for professionalism
If the site’s graphics and technology aren’t up-to-snuff and seem unprofessional, go elsewhere. Cut-rate design could indicate that a quick-buck artist or cash-strapped owner run the site. If so, they may go belly-up and take your money with them.
Make sure there’s appropriate service
Don’t register with a site that doesn’t have 24/7 assistance with both a toll-free phone number and a support e-mail address. And you might want to contact their support team before you register, to see how long it takes to respond and how well they answer a test query.
Test to make sure site transactions go efficiently
If the site looks up to snuff, is an IGC member and has verifiable contact information, conduct a few limited transactions as tests before you do any significant gambling.
Following these recommendations could help reveal major flaws, so do yourself a favor and pay heed to each one. They may help you dodge a major bullet. Remember, there’s lot’s of competition out there when it comes to casino gambling sites, so just move on to the next one if you don’t like what you see.
