Brent Beckley Pleads Guilty

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/g/a/2011/12/20/bloomberg_articlesLWII0C0D9L35.DTL

Well it's about freaking time something happened in this case.

For those that want an abridged version:

Brent was responsible for setting up the fictitious websites that Absolute Poker used to receive Internet gambling funds illegally. Allegedly selling merchandise (jewelry, pet supplies, snuggies etc...) the money was deposited into Absolutes bank accounts so US players could bypass the 2006 law. And back in April of this year they got caught redhanded.

I did a little poking around and I found an article that showed his money laundering crimes carried a maximum sentence of 30 years. Instead he's going to skate after one to one and a half. And I think that's beautiful. No, I'm not a Brent fan. I have watched enough episodes of Law and Order to know that this means he pleas to a lesser sentence and testifies against the other nimrods involved.

On a humorous side note I see that Brent has been living in Costa Rica for the past several years. Hey, Dumb Ass, why didn't you stay in Costa Rica instead of setting foot somewhere you could get arrested?

In the meantime PokerStars keeps chugging out a billion bogus hands every couple of weeks. Can they reach 100 billion hands before they get shut down?

Tables

A weird and wild assumption is that a game site with multiple seating options would only make up as many tables as could be reasonably populated by real people. This is certainly not the case with PokerStars.

I purplisticly (real word) loogged in to the high buy in games and didn't play a single hand.

Triple Draw lowball. Razz. And there is some fucking douchebag that is there at the table when major amounts of free money chips are needed to take a seat. The table is not starting until a bunch of other bohus AI sits there.

And----no Asian women play? Seriously. It's just too weird.

Number of Players

A typical log in for me has more than 200k players. A weird log in produces 70k.

With the United States in lockdown I would think that maybe the more realistic numbers would be at Eurpeon or Asian time. But AI is till set to be annoying at US eastern time.

PokerStars Push to 100 Billion Bogus Hands

This question has come up several times in the past couple of years. "Hey, Big lay Down Guy, if you're not right then why is the site so cool that everyone wants to play on it?

Me and my crack team of insomniacs and people holding down two jobs to make a living and two year olds who haven't got a clue have an explanation.

Surpisingly, just like Jerry Sandusky claiming innocence and Kim Kardashian being involved in a real relationship it's not for real.

The mistakes just keep piling up. Some of them are blatantly in your face obvious. Others are a bit more subtle. But I only get to play in something that looks like reasonable poker like maybe two times a week. Which I don't mind because, well, if you're a reader of this blog the bullshit is all what I'm about.

PokerStars aka PokerFrauds did this to me(unrelated to the screen shots. This guy has logged into 2k Razz game and starts talking about how he has to leave to pick up his dog and that he was playing this meaningless table from work. Regardless of the cover story it was no surprise that this was an excuse to raise like a fucking idiot.

And this is how PokerStars will get their billions of hands records.

Player not found on the same table I'm at. Gotcha. You're so good at Razz you don't want people to find you, so you block it. And you still manage to bump into someone you know and can chat with. And after a flurry of active discussion when it comes time for the real human to decide whther it's time to go to sleep the chat has dryed up faster than a menopausal nun.

(No nuns were harmed in the posting of this.)

As the nuns sit at this table and hide their being logged in for an excuse to raise like a fucking idiot I contemplate on how when I burn in hell I'll at least never had to pretnd that I'm a real person.

Pedro, Pedro, Pedro

Shame on you. You ticked me off enough that I ended my almost month long vacation from blogging.

PokerStars continues to go stomping through the world of artificial intelligence playing against artificial intelligence to rack up billions of hands in a few months.

And the continue to show that even the most basic math skills are something they haven't mastered yet. By the time I got to the two screenshots of Pedro here he had already racked up five bad beat eliminations of another player by a bad beat on the river. The odds of this are something like one in,well, it's a really big number with lots of zeroes before the decimal point.

I also thought ya'll might be jonesing for a picture of a hot Asian chick, so here you go.

Happy Birthday/Anniversary

As a reminder, I've said this many times before, so far there hasn't been a decent rebuttal posted about my comments. I hate being repetitive, but as the card play tonight was the usual humdrum non-random crapola I will have to hate being repetitive.

If you Google "Internet Poker is Rigged" you do get one top hit from this pro -

http://www.onlinepoker.net/poker-news/general-poker-news/online-poker-rigged-wsop-winner/6801

Other than this the top hits are loads of bullshit defending the sites on how it's simply a matter of the low quality of cardplay by the angry, frustrated, drunken and repetitive poster. Since I hate being repetitive I will not use the word repetitive or any variant such as 'repeat' again. It's to easy. And as homage to my ex-girlfriend Rhea Pete it would be rude to repeat such repetition. Especially since I've repeatedly down it so many repetitive times.

Jumping back to the first paragraph - I don't want to just think that what separates the Big Laydown from the other poker blogs, both pro and con, is that instead of the card play my focus has shifted to the lack of humanity. Basically, when sitting at a nine player S&G you can expect that at best you're playing against 7 pieces of AI and one admin in control of the table. Since the admins get to toglle cheat mode and are bored out of their skull a real human is a pleasant distraction. And in general since they have limited actual card skill, they do stupid shit like break the time bank rules, post naughty words in chat that don't get ****'ed out.

Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus, you are to the South of me and pretty much on a weekly basis at the minimum I get the joy of playing against someone with home court advantage that can- and does- break the simple rules.

The explanation for this can't simply be that they want to read here what they did wrong (although it does give them the chance to make changes and cheat better.) It can't simply be fear of computer viruses by visiting dangerous websites mpicking up pictures of Asian hotties.

My personal opinion is that the daily coursem of the job has just become too repetive, and repeating the repition has repeatedly repeated the mundane repition and while trying to suck the last money out of real players before repeating Full Tilt's demise they repeatedly try and fail to struggle to make it look for real.

I can't repeat this mistake of giving real cash to poker sites. I never have and can't play for real money. I rpeat, it's not like I would. I've seen WAY too much repition of the annoying bad beats, non-random cards, infinite loops(explanation on this comment - another repitition reference) and avatrs of a tapir )which is close to a backward spelling of repeat I can think of on short notice.

Personally I thought I would have at least 20 million play chips on the big three sites by now, I would be hugely bored and move on to other topics that piss me off like the GOP nomination race and attention whore Kim Kardashian's wedding, but here I am still interested in busting on poker.

So this begs the question -

How much did Kim K. pay you to keep her off my radar? She's not Asian, so it must have been a lot.

Wild Mood Swings

One minor eyebrow raised to report and one both eyebrows raised. On the two table screenshots - we have someone from Brazil that has named himself after the Chupacabra. More or less the Mexican Bigfoot, but smaller and with sharper teeth. Brazil is mostly a Portugese speaking nation. Just a little weird.

Now, Snutty biy was the real curiousity. He complained about the chap to his immediate left constantly preflop raising and called him an idiot. Forgetting that beforen this final table he did the same freaking thing himself.

Translation - AI plays until it gets boiled down to the final table. Admins who didn't know the personality of the AI (if AI can truly have a personality) takes over.

And this game had more bad beats than a videotape of Rodney King.

And the biggest surprise - somehow I managed a second place.

Lack of Competition in a Competitive Game

The gang went out for lunch today at the Framers Market which has the smoking hot non-Asian vitamin selling girl that has captured my fancy. Personally, I think vitamins are way overrated. They only serve to keep you alive longer to get cheated at Internet poker.

The conversation switched to "Elyk Nosobh" and his competitive nature. (His real name is Kyle Hobson, but to protect him I have changed it here. No one but me will EVER know.)

Elyk, not his real name, related on how he was so competitive that while running to keep in shape he times himself trying to beat his best record.

Supposedly, from what I was last told when my Uncle took me for $4.23 of my hard earned newspaper route money that Internet poker is a competitive game. It's a level playing field with your brain and a little bit of luck versus a table (or two) against some other brains.

The zombie apocalypse has not eaten my brain yet, although the shotgun shells are running dangerously low. And Bruce Campbell hasn't returned a single phone call this week.

So I said to myself, "Self, clean the bathroom and reflect on all those things about Internet poker that show a lack of competition." After lunch I offered up to Kyle...er...this guy I know...the "I have to go" not sitting out because they really aren't serious about leaving. My zombie munched brain remembered one of the real raisans. (That should have been reasons, but zombies-brain tissue damage-I'm sure you understand.)

Now, with my brain at less than 30% capacity I still managed to dredge up something I vaguely remember from before. Zombies are slow. They don't race. OMFG! The race table!

I can duplicate this every day without losing a single rigged hand. Sure there's way too many chips on this table. The real key is that there's a huge waiting list of players so anxious to lose to the players alrerady seated.

Omaha Hi Lo is weird enough that your average poker junkie playing on free money games isn't going to have enough chips for the 40k buy in or want to put up with the all in bingo bullshit. So the AI just keeps get to chugging along despite the two year old chat. Which they probably cater to so that they don't get bored going all in every hand and get to pretend they have some skill. Court them and they might actually break open the checkbook.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

One thing I can confidently say other than that Scientology sucks - there is no competitive spirit. The play is dictated by those admins and AI that have the comfort zone of knowing they can't or don't care if they lose because of an infinite rigged chipstack.

The Hazard of Too Many Posts

It's buried in here somwhere, but I can't find it. So I'll just relay the events as I remember them and the point.

My very first target was PokerStars. After being relatively unsuccesful at the poker while I built up my playing strength I coincidentally found a lot of tricks in regards to the lack of humanity. One of those was playing on the unpopular games, and to this day I pretty much hate Hold'em because of that.

Whilst (actually really is a real but antiquated word) looking for a table during PokerStars push for the 15th billion hand I found that those unpopulat tables were a breeding ground for new player registrations. Dave342 would reg, then unreg, then reg again. Bill628 would reg, then unreg and then reg again. And just for good measure and surprised at his luck for making it through registration Bill might do it two or more times. And whilst at the same table Dan463 shows up and does the same thing. And Kyle413, Janet76, Fred917, etc...

Well, I finally got the answer to this weirdness after putting 2+2 together and getting the correct mathematical result of a pair of twos suck in Hold'em and should immediately be folded(on Internet Poker, not necessarily in real life brick and mortar random card poker.)

Now, powder this in a mixing bowl, add a quart of water, a tablespoon of salt and mix it with the rind of the ever so friendly message about player sitting out are hurting their own chances.

This recipe yields thousands of players sitting out where the hand that they are dealt still counts towards being one of the current 69+ billion. Throw in a couple of vacuums in case a real and talented human accidentally makes the mistake of popping in and you can run these tables 24/7. Throw in an Admin like the guy a couple of nights ago who can post the word "ass" in chat when it should automatically be blocked to "***" and the non-regular player will never know that he's just playing a poorly programmed Xbox game.

Cute trick. Enjoy your Guinness records that are more hollow than a Taco Bell burrito versus the claims of how much meat it has.

Racial Profiling In Internet Poker

There are several classes of Internet Poker players that get an undeserved bad reputation. The obvious one is the Asian Hotties. After 14 years+ of play me and my crack team of Asian hottie experts (me and the guys responsible for the "Pacific Rim Job" series) just don't understand it.

Next we have zombies. Sure, you had a great week with Halloween. But when you can't feast on human flesh and follow the zombie rules do you really have to be try and break down my door at two in the morning? And exactly how did you know I only had three shotgun shells left? Try and fucking explain THAT PokerStars!

The last class is the Internet poker zombies that had a massive brain meal and just keep chugging along and doing none human stupidity like, oh, well not going all in when the chip stack you are left with is existentially fucked. Do you really think that stack can get you back in the game?

My friends at AMC who produce "The Walking Dead" disagree with me. And after a $35.73 bribe they promise me there will be an Asian hottie zombie this season.

Ladies and Gentlemen

I give to you the Eighth Wonder of the World. Poker sites offer unlimited chances to be cheated. Games that cannot possibly be populated by real humans are offered. Rejoice! Rejoice!

And watch as PokerStars continues their drive to bogus 70 billion hands.

Another Record for PokerStars

http://www.rwsop.com/poker-news/guinness-book-of-world-records-identifies-poker-stars.html

Years ago back in this blog I talked about this from a rational and mathematical angle. Basically, the peak of Internet poker interest capped in the mid 2000's. At a time ESPN was showing final tables of huge tournaments. People were watching poker on TV instead of the Knicks losing. OK...bad example.

But as a species humans bore easily. Especially when not successful. I have the luxury of having been successful at pretty much everything I put my mind to. Memorized Pi to 115 decimal places, beat my brother at Super Mario Brothers after four months of practice after he had been playing for years and almost acheived a master rating at chess before poker took over my life.

The time dedication that goes into such ventures is substantial, especially considering that real life issues must be addressed. Eating, sleeping, feeding the dog, servicing the significant other even with a raging hangover, etc...

Now we have a bunch of poker shows on TV cancelled due to low ratings, the US market locked out from real money play and yet still PS can draw 150-200k players very interested in the poker as the source of their entertainment.

At the 15 billionth hand milestone the math didn't work, and the math is getting worse.

A few questions come to mind.

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is there to hear it, did it really fall?

If a bear shits in the woods and nobody is there to smell it, did it really dump it?

If a poker hand is dealt online and there is no real human at the table to see it, does it really count towards a Guinness record milestone?

Of course it does. Guinness Records has obviously proved my math and experience wrong and that all the positions I thought were obviously AI were really just coked up poker addicts playing like two year olds. I mean, they must have had a way to seriously check out the reported numbers, right? Or maybe coked up two year olds playing like addicts. I don't remember exactly what I thought.

The good and the bad news about this. Since I'm wrong and the reader base of this blog is just for the hot Asian chicks we here at the Big Lay Down are planning our own celebration. There has been more than 750 pictures of hot Asian chicks posted here. No more pictures of Jarah other than this one tonight will be posted. The 1,000th Asian hottie pic will be of this goddess. The first person who posts a comment to the post will win an all expense paid trip to Hawaii for two and a $2,000 gift certificate for Ben and Jerry's ice cream. At the current pace this will be approximately February 2012.

Naughty Chat on Internet Poker

This is a second attempt at what I attempted to post last night. Blogger let me down and didn't save the draft. I apologize for the repetitive talk about the main topic to my long time readers - both of you. The original post was far funnier than what was put up in a fit of disgust before going to bed.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

If the Adult content warning is not enough for you then let me add asuggestion here to read no further if naughty words insult you. And there is some racist humor here. Having the confidence of knowing I'm not a racist gives me a comfort zone of knowing it's for the comedic effect and not a serious hatred over races other than my own pathetic one. There is no doubt that many of my posts have some off-color humor, so don't take this one differently.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The backdrop to this story is entering an unusaul for me (compared to recent history) 2k buy in 18 player Hold'em sit and go. I of course have been folding hands like crazy. Nothing exciting going on. Nothing to blog about. And then this gem dropped in my lap.

Unhappy at a bad beat our hero posts about his conqueror being a "lucky ass". There is a problem with this. Because PokerStars cares so much about the integrity of their site and doesn't want to pollute the minds of the many two year olds that play there, a system is in place to alter the chat to something tamer. Naughty words are replaced with *.

I find this amusing for two reasons. If someone posts in chat that someone else is a dumb mother ****** pretty much everyone knows what the banned word is anyway. And in this case the offending word is ass.

In the grand scheme of naughty word calling ass pretty ******* tame. It can't be any worse than my favorites - jackwipe, fartbump and Belgian (reminder - not racist, I love Belgians and your waffles - the way you switch sides you are on in an argument is hilarious. And they are funnier when you use Ben and Jerry's when you do it.)

After much pent up frustration I feel the need to get this off my chest. This is my therapy.

That felt really good because if I try to post "ass" on PokerStars it gets *ed out.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

The conclusion is pretty simple. There are players that don't have to follow the rules. I call them "admins" and "Belgians" and occasionally "cheating ******* jackwipes.

And this is on a site that is supposed to be an interface for real people to play on. And I get cheated once every five years or so....no wait my Statotronic 3b5MATTEL8d (my Mattel football game) tells me that at this point it's pretty much every day.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

By the way, they're pumping up their 70 billionth hand celebration. If there wasn't rigged AI, would it even be 1 billion yet?

Okay Dumbass

How do you explain how ordinary non- admins get the joy of posting naught language?

The Big Lay Down Mailbag

I checked my PO box and was overwhelmed by the 3 letters I've received in the last 6 months. Surely this is a sign that I'm on to something.

Doug Marcell (not his real name to protect the innocent. Trust me Dan Parcell form Oakland California, I would never ruin that sacred trust with my readers. Your address of 4186B Vine Street and Social Security number of 938-27-4331 will be held in the strictest confidence.) sent a very touching note. Here's an excerpt of what Dan...er Doug had to say.

"I really don't care about the poker nonsense. It really doesn't matter that you seem to have proven time and again that there's a ton of suspicious and fraudulent activity at the tables. I like to whack at the Asiasn hotties. But, why no pictures of Malaysian girls? Are you like, prejudiced or something. Janie who sits in front of me in Algebra is from Malaysia and I would fold a pair of pocket aces faster than buttered cheetahs to have a shot with her."

Well Da...er...Doug at great personal expense of my money and valuable time I spent 7 hours...wait, I checked my clock...15 minutes getting Malaysian pics. Whack away.

Jarah M. from Hawaii writes, "You bastard. God I hate you. Damn I look good in that bikini!"

The last letter was co-signed by over 30 people.

"Dear Big Lay Down guy. We used to play for real money and even before the US Justice Department crack down we read your hilarious blog and realized that we were wasting our time. Thank you for saving my life."

Yes. In reality I have had over 30 mostly strong poker players acknowledge my evidence gathering campaign. I wish it was in the thousands, but more than 30 is a good start.

Vulgar Names -Think of the Children!

As has been stated countless times before. Chips are a necessary evil. But since I'm not making any money on this as evidenced by my screenshot of blogspot not allowing me to monetize this due to adult content a few days ago, this is secondary. The prime goal is the constant and surprisingly often seeing things that don't make sense.

When this two table game started and granpa won the first three hands I already knew it was not for real. As my chips dwindled I considered my options. Bail and find something I know will be entertaining (which is normally the worst movie I can find on TV) or keep at it.

The decision was surprisngly easy. I already had "Dead and Breakfast" running as background noise. So, let's see what else is going on with PF. (Used to be referred to as PS or JS, longtime readers know.)

We had a lot of weird stuff here. The extremely short stacked with 125 chips player raising 120, like those 5 chips that were saved will allow a miracle comeback. Huge uses of time following other position's huge uses of time. A sitter waking up after it became obvious I was just folding to take fourth place in the money.

And someone from Spain posting the only chat in an hour and a half game that isn't really Spanish. Pretty sure there are no Spanish words,"q" "hya" and "tii".

But the main focus is the chap in the upper left corner. Not regarding his hands or chips at the table. But his mere existence.

Now, let's pretend for a minute that I'm right (which I know I am, but PS aka PF aka JS continues to deny.) Unlike this blog where I have voluntarily put a roadblock up for adult contenet - Warning Will Rogers! Danger! Semi-clad and even naked Asian women! - the caring and concerned about the integrity of the game staff at PS aka PF aka JS have allowed a player with the joke name that starts with "facu".

I shouldn't need to do this, but sound it out. Walk up to your bathroom mirror, look yourself in the eye and try and make this sound like anything but "Fuck you".

And, in addition to the theory that the screen name should have been denied outright or a friendly email from the caring and concerned staff at PS aka PF aka JS early on that it's not allowed, this position has managed to play long enough to get enough chips to buy into a 10k.

Facu. It's bullshit.

Let me Explain Myself in Regards to Internet Games

Countless years ago for this 48 year old soon to be 49 I discovered what I thought was going to be a pleasant distraction, but it became too much like work.

Internet strategy games. And since I'm so competitive it worked.

But my competion factor in the computation of Internet fun made me suggest to myself that I was playing as the visitor on the home field. Any succes has had a price. And my best example is Sweden's Dominion. When I first started playing it was free. Years later it was still free, but if you wanted the edge you needed to buy a premium account. I've wasted enough money on lame computer disks thatmake me want to even ever consider Playing this game if I have to pay for it.

Dominion was my longest "free trial period" where they court you. Recognixe you understand the basics of math. And just when you think you might actually be one of the top people on the planet the rug is pulled out from under you.

"oh mighty Goblin, I love your joke name, but still I must kill you since you didn't pay me.

And the not created games with specific rules like chess, poker, Internet backammon, Internet spades. Planeterion, Bruce's Paranormal Deathmatch, Bruce's Chicken game, Orcwars, two girls one 2 liter of Mountain Dew, etc..'

Werll the Dominion thing burned out to Ai. Chess- playing AI. Dominion, Planetion every single posite - AI. Cops outside my door regarding Jarah stalking - paid the fine, Planetiorn. Ooops that' saved too

And here now, dazed at how I coninually met with pre-flop raises of 120k on hands that I wouldn't even cosider calling/ Oh, the confidence of AI betting on crap and/or knowing the outcome of the hand.

Inter Poker - is rigged. And now they are setting up to scam Full Tilt players, and I'll betcha

I just want to watch a movie.

Because as a real human with real options I don't need to monetize this blog.

Nope. Since you can't monetize a blog with asdult setting like dropping a shit, jackwipe, asshole or fbomb I'm at the mercy of some vindictive, talentless can rig the cards admin.

More Overcompensation

Part of me didn't want to post tonight. Same old boring stuff. And I didn't collect any screenshots worthy of reporting. Strangely after a rough week at work I really just wanted a game of cards. And since Microsoft Hearts, Freecell which has made the claim that every game is potentially able to be won here I am at yet another PokerStars game.

Oh, who am I kidding comparing an interface for players to meet up and battle with programs known to be human vs. AI.

Any ordinary person can claim that they met up with a hugely weird run of cards. Personally, the lack of humanity has been far more enjoyable for me.

So tonight's report is about something suspicious but not too overt. And you peeps that don't play every day but chance upon a two table hold'em game on PokerStars should think of this.

Have you ever played a game where the chat was virtually non-existent until you made the final table and "people" just wouldn't shut up? On a high end buy in game? (10k or more.)

And this happened after two consecutive nights of updates that need to be loaded?

All of a sudden players have bonded, are exchanging email adresses, made some personal comments about their hobbies, played like idiots and after weeks of silence here I am in a table of people that won't shut up.
