I forced myself to sit through the entire interview. It was a painful experience. I really wanted to believe what Nagy was saying and I tried my best to give him the benefit of the doubt, but his body language, constant stammering and stuttering and repeating himself just makes it impossible. Anyone who plays cash games with any regularity on ACR sees that there are certain players who are always at the tables. I don't know if these are bots or multiple people sharing one account to maximize rakeback and Beast rewards (which can add up to six figures by the end of the year if playing mid to high stakes). Both bots and multi-using accounts are prohibited. No one individual can play so many tables for so many hours. There's no way to prevent this entirely (except maybe eliminating Beast rewards), but, at least in the case of bots, one step is to ban HUDs and seating scripts. If the regs are actually good players they should still be able to beat the fish and still make a decent living. Still, bots can be adjusted to work around the new rules. Its a really difficult problem. Unfortunately, I didn't get the impression that he was really committed to dealing with it. We'll see what happens when the new software is fully implemented, but I'm not holding my breath.
