Televised Poker Is 100% Rigged!?!?!?
 

Tonight I watched unknown, amatuer, Canadian Henry Tran knock out a field of seasoned B&M & tournament pros. He won by hitting an OESD, a near impossibility, to beat Erik Lindgren's QQ. This is proof positive that the WSOP is rigged in a blatant attempt to entice online players to enter their tournaments. I believe that if you watch closely you will find that time after time players win with improbable hands. Last week someone won with runner runner hearts for a flush, obviously a case of the game being rigged.

When I go to B&M poker rooms I hardly ever win even though I play for hrs. & hrs. & hrs. seeing as many as 30 hands an hr. I eat the lousy food and ogle the scantily clad waitresses, all the things I should do at a B&M, and I still lose. However I always win online, therefore B&M poker is rigged.

Makes as much sense as the posts claiming online poker is rigged.

Seriously people HE WAS KIDDING! The post is dripping with sarcasm, get over yourself(ves).

Just because it was a joke doesn't mean it wasn't a really lame joke.

We've had this post many times, and it got the right response.

What's worse is that he didn't use the early hand where 3 players were dealt JJ, QQ, and KK.

Don't forget that the QQ folded. He obviously was using a pattern map.

I saw nothing but a flash movie.
Can someone post THE NAME of this supposed virus?

I clicked too soon. It is indeed a Trojan.

I wonder if this has something to do with some people having the latest critical updates, which browser they are using, virus software, etc.

I've seen the file name you gave, but what is the actual name of the Trojan according to Symantec?

It seems to me like this might be an issue of the browser trying to keep itself on top of all the other windows, which is exactly what that flash does. Possibly Symantec anti-virus overreacts to this? Has anyone out there who isn't running Symantec received a virus warning?

I have a lot of protection running (all updated), and I've seen nothing. Then again, I'm also using Firefox.
If someone could track down the actual name of this alleged trojan, it would make things a bit easier.

You know, this post is 100% correct!!! In TV poker you only see the really cool hands...I don't think they would get as many people watching if they showed them all. And, with all the different shows now, you can the see many different ways in which they rig them as well as the differences in the rigging. That one show where the guy caught runner-runner 7s with like 3 people left to win a huge pot was brilliant. Added excitement and drama you just can't get with a simple flush or str8 draw [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Personally, the coolest thing I ever saw on TV to date was the finals of the Scrabble Championship on ESPN (ESPN 2 I think). That was a blast!!!!

Re: Virus detected in above link....
 

So IE users are getting this and firefox users are not?

I use firefox and haven't had a problem.

Re: Televised Poker Is 100% Rigged!?!?!?
 

Yes I too believe that televised poker is rigged. I also believe the outcomes of the Super Bowl and Kentucky Derby are secretly determined before hand by the Masons. I also believe the PGA is controlled by the mafia, the moon landings were fake, Dick Clark is a robot and the evening news isn't real either.

I'm really wondering also if this "you1" file is really a trojan, or just your typical internet cookie. I can't believe that a site as big and reputable as albinoblacksheep would be putting trojans on people's computers. Like I mentioned in another post, there have been several other posts on 2+2 linking to various other pages on albinoblacksheep, including the infamous flash movie about how to correctly use an internet message board.

Edit: I also didn't get the file, but I don't use IE either, I use Avant Browser.

Re: Virus detected in above link....
 

I use the AVG Free Anti-Virus Edition (and IE) and received an instant warning that the page included "Trojan Horse JS/NoClose", which it had moved to the AVG Virus Vault.
