Smalldaddy,

I've conversed, until they Ko'ed my chat with every single person I've ever played with there how would that be possible if they are 'bots'?

And why use 'bots' when like real rooms there is a worldwide supply of props?

As far as why? Two reasons, first the number you quoted are not just ring games, but as an online player there is no other site other than Planet where one can constantly find a wide range of games at a wide range of stakes.

About cheating, I do not think the larger places engage in cheating via software or that explicit cheating is a rampant problem, I think there may be some implicit cheating, like a guy playing two hands in the same omaha game thereby giving him a look at four extra cards a hand. But it is my understanding any winning outside the realm of reality is closely scrutinized and the rare instances I suspected outright collusion have been thoroughly investigated and expulsions have taken place in situations that it's warranted.

I don't play heads-up but find it interesting WSEX uses that .50 cap not only in heads up but even in the high limit full table games.

TA
