Play in a casino that takes security and cheating serious. If you're playing online then be aware that these folks have at a bare minimum HUDS that tell your opponents your habits in game. They can look up your record to see if you're a winning player online and they'll probably be looking at cheat sheets whether its for preflop or when to shove for example.

I mean the list goes on and on with the aides easily available to online players to the point where it doesn't even seem like poker.

Poker for me is the freedom to choose to win or lose, to work on the game or not, to be a professional or an amateur. Fraudsters need to be fought by banning playing poker for life.

Too many bots online alright. I met a shameless person one night who seemed to be proud of doing it.

For me, poker is a hobby that brings me pleasure and money. Scammers do not scare me, I play on reliable sites and I'm sure my money is safe. I've been playing poker for over 10 years, and I've never really had any problems.

I must agree with you that some of the poker hands seem suspicious and suggestive of fraud. But your arguments, especially in relation to online poker, are not convincing. Everything that you have listed is not prohibited, which means it cannot be fraudulent. The fact that you are not taking advantage of these benefits is your problem. You will not be driving a truck in a Formula 1 race. And yet, I often play freerolls, there are also a lot of suspicious things. But what's the point in deceiving me if I don't pay anything.

Friend that is my good, excellent, but the case of when the players transfer from player to player and some players are scammed for that reason that has happened a lot. I consider that if there should be that trust between the players

That is very good to know, excellent friend. Ami, if I have been scammed, I transferred money to a player where he would return it to me through another platform and to this day I am still waiting for him to make the transfer, but I do believe that there may be a Group of players where there is reliability to make the exchanges from player to player in the future when there is respect, Or maybe the same platform would implement something so that changes can be made from one platform to a different one. For example: 888poker with pokerstars.

Poker showed me that life is about decision making and tying to balance risk and reward. I have now started to analyze all my decisions on a day to day basis. not sure if this is good or not but it is definitely interesting.

There have been many places where players have been able to 'swap' funds via player-to-player from one site to another. It used to be common practice.

These days I am not aware of sites that have a section designated for doing swaps. (I think I might know of one forum where there's a small section for it that happens within a loyal sub-section of the group (not sure how active it is these days as I am not a member of this group).

I'm not sure where you reside but previously here in canada we were able to use sites like neteller, Moneybookers, skrill to very quickly move money on & off of the sites and it made moving funds around to different poker sites very simple. Unfortunately these options are no longer available to Canadians (since 2014 I think??) but I'm pretty sure they are still available in other parts of the world (but I think there's also some fees involved with the transactions now where in the past they were mostly free).

Because of the difficulty to move funds around quickly & conveniently it keeps me from staking more players (in a bigger capacity) and it also keeps me from playing much at all on certain sites... sites that I would be playing on more often if it was easier for me to move funds around.

what would you recommend to stop the scammers of this beautiful game?


Hope.

Hope the sites I am playing on are doing their best to beef up their Security.
I believe Pokerstars has pretty decent security & I think GGPoker might as well (I've heard of many players being booted off of GGPoker for using 'RTA'). I'm sure that anything the sites invest in Security comes back to them as most players want to play on the most trusted sites (I know it's a big part of the criteria I go by when choosing to play on a site).

I think that today, poker sites are closely monitoring fraudulent schemes, for the safety of their players. And although for me poker is primarily entertainment, nevertheless I am always very careful about any financial issues.

If a player uses more than one account, this is considered a gross violation of the rules. So I assure you, players who have multi-accounts will be blocked over time.

Of course, there are cases of fraud, especially in online games where big money is involved. But I hope that modern technology allows the security services of poker sites to effectively track fraudsters and block their criminal activities.

I haven't had a problem with cheaters in poker. I never even met them at the tables. In online video action games, I met cheaters.

As with everything in the world that involves the possibility of financial gain, there is no chance of making scammers disappear.

Unfortunately, this is the reality of human beings.
