Default Re: Poker prophecy and its ilk

And yeah, I know there are differences between the various programs.

What's worth noting is what I assume is PP's reason for barring, or threatening to bar, any or all of these programs - the ABSOLUTE necessity, from their point of view, of preventing even the slightest perception that some players have an advantage, beyond their personal playing skills, over some other player.

I'm a winning player, over my first 500 SNG's, which I know is a small sample size. I plan on continuing to be a winning player. But I don't have any illusions about where I stand as far as PP goes - I am, or hope to be, a parasite, sucking a bit of $$ off the sheep as they graze in the meadow that PP has provided for me. As long as I don't scatter the sheep, PP will leave me be. If I cause a stampede, well.....I'll get swatted.
Nevada casinos routinely bar players who can beat 21, not by cheating, but through their skills. Why would anyone think PP, or any other site, would hesitate to protect their income stream. Being that they are offshore, they are at least relativly protected from the scum-sucking legal system in the US, so I don't see how players have any recourse to whatever they want to do, in any case.

Flame away.....but don't have any illusions about your (and my) position in the meadow....and god bless the sheep.
