    Two guys were blatenly chip-balancing in a $20r near the end of the tourney. They are known as friends and this behaviour noticed before. It was reported to AP Security the day it happened, Aug 18, 2007, then bumped a few times and finally on Sept 23, 2007 get a response:

    "Our Security Department has taken care of this specific case; however, no further details can be provided, due to our account privacy policies.

    We encourage you to continue reporting any suspicious cases, along with the proper game and username details, so we can investigate them and work to avoid any fraudulent activities within our tables. "

    Meanwhile the team have been playing almost daily ever since including playing the same tournaments. (thank you pokerdb) and the people in the tournament in question received no compensation.

    The team is LLPJ and JRJJA (both winning players on AP). I doubt you need another reason not to play there but just in case.

    GG Absolute

    The anti-AP sense is getting out of hand imho. I started there 3 weeks ago and have 1 win and a 3rd, and a 7th in mtts. More final tables than at ftp in the last 6 months. Maybe I was lucky, maybe the fields were smaller, but at ftp I always seems to get beat by a 4 outer when it gets to 27-9. In summary, I have won more there than anywhere in the time I have spent there. Whenever, I play there I just feel so lucky even though I have had my share of bad beats. Just because someone says something does not mean it is true. Seems strange that someone semi-famous always seems to do well in the big sunday tournament every week. Hate to broadcast this because it is my honey hole. Hopefully the cheating turns out not to be true or from some poker tracker add-on.

    Actually I downloaded the new PAHUD update, and it has "See opponent's hole cards" as one of the options for Absolute in the preferences box. I also noticed that with pokertracker I can now click on a button that reads "haxorz n cheatirz furreal" but I haven't tried it yet.

    Everyone should be wary of the software on your computer. Poker software can read your holecards, it is trivial to send that info via the internet to some hackers site. The software must be caught first before a program like Spyware Terminator can catch it and add it to its database. It has been done before.

    It can. Download poker indicator. A good hacker could get your hand send it across the internet, automatically log in or join the waiting list to your table (if he is not a bot there already), before you even see your cards. While your hole cards are sitting on his table as a hud. Always be alert to the poker software you install.
