TheWynn 0 Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Poker Legends Sued for Robot FraudPosted Oct 2nd 2009 12:01AM by TMZ StaffThe biggest names in poker are being sued by two people who claim they were defrauded on an online poker site.Lary Kennedy and Greg Omotoy claim they opened an account at fulltiltpoker.com and -- as luck would have it -- they amassed winnings of more than $80,000. The famous poker defendants who own the site -- including Chris "Jesus" Ferguson, Howard Lederer, Phil Ivey and Mike Matusow -- allegedly accused the plaintiffs of using an automated play functions called "robots" instead of playing the game themselves. Since using robots violates Full Tilt's rules, the site's owners confiscated more than $80,000.There are other gripes as well in the lawsuit, filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, including an allegation that fulltilitpoker.com manipulates the game through the use of robots of its own so it becomes more a game of luck than skill which is outlawed in California.Read more: http://www.tmz.com/#ixzz0SmtHdTUH Link to post Share on other sites

ChrisRichey 1 Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 FT employing Bots of their own? Too bad Lederer and pals just own the company that made the software and not Full Tilt... Link to post Share on other sites
FCP Bob 1,312 Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 The case is basically one of Full Tilt accusing an experienced heads up limit holdem player of using a bot and then seizing that player's money and the player filing a lawsuit.Here's a link to a site that the player who brought the suit set up.http://playpokergirl.com/fulltilt.htm Link to post Share on other sites
DonkSlayer 1 Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 There's some sketchiness. To me, this is a bit like an accused steroid user where there's zero physical evidence besides how well the player is doing and a bit of circumstantial stuff....if there were steroids, you have to deny or otherwise your career is done with basically, you weren't, half the people will never believe you, but you're doing the right thing fighting it vs not.

JoblessBast 0 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Very long and weird story. That Crazy Mike guy (MrGatorade) seems to have a pretty big hand in "outing" her as well as at least one other player who had her FTP account frozen. It will be interesting to see how this lawsuit pans out, if it moves forward. Link to post Share on other sites
