If he is making 65k a day or whatever ridiculous number he claims, you would think he could afford or use better computers than EMachines.

And an air conditioner instead of a box fan.

i believe the bulk of russ's games are 215 nl sng party.

[jerome baker]

no way he makes 65k a day. probably more like 3k (thats a low estimate).

who cares about better computers? he's not a programmer or a hacker.

may be he is telling the truth --> Boiler room


I am assuming by some of his posts that he is targetting the 10-20 ; 15-30 and 30-60 ring games at the major sites. He personally plays some of the short handed 100-200 games (hit an run approach)

I just wanted to point out that it makes zero sense to collude in a game like partypoker 15/30. Most good players play many tables at once. They play anywhere from 4-8 15-30s at a time. It takes some effort to collude profitably in a game like 15/30, and you would always just be better off playing more tables. In a different game, such as the pokerstars 100-200, collusion makes a lot more sense.

It only makes sense to cheat if you get positive utility from the act of cheating itself or if money you have cheated off someone gives twice as much utility to you as money you have earned honestly. In this case cheating might work out better then just improving you game selection and playing more games at once.

Oh! And all those computers and monitors are neither necessary or sufficient for cheating. I think they are just there to show the world what a prat he is.

It is entirely possible that he is earning about 3K a day and once made 65K in a day. A good but not necessarily great player with the bankroll to play multiple 100/200 or similar games could easily achieve that. If this is so then Russ is making his money despite his cheating not because of it.

And the point about him not being a hacker is well made [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I have no idea what the possible use of setup like that would be. As a ex-computer lab manager, I can tell you thier setup basically sucks for any use you would care to put to it.

The only possible useful thing you could do with that bench is test out new computers that you are planning on selling.

If they really are using this space to play poker, they really aught to invest some money back into something more ergonomic. For heaven's sake, at least get an Aeron chair!

Oh, and that second picture with the G in the corner, I recognize. It' from www.gamespot.com someplace. I think it might be a picture of the office where they made Dungeon Seige or some other video game.

i think only one of those are actual pics of poker set-ups. i think it is the one that says top secret. the rest were parodies (obviously). the title 'top secret' is the indication that that is the legit one from o'malley's site.

I remember we had a bench of PC very similar to "Russ'". We use to use if for testing variouis versons of our software before passing it on to QA or UAT.
