Im not sure if its just me, but from scams ive seen and what not i get scared to move up in limits mainly because i dont know if people cheat. The main thing im worried about is people being able to see my cards and the others at the table. I saw a add for this once for a program allowing you to see others cards. Any knowledge on this?

The ONLY possible way you could see anyone elses cards/they see urs is if you happen to be sitting at a table with someone whom u had sent a trojan u wrote urself to send a direct feed of everything happening on there computer to urs.

Id say ur safe

That's what she said!

don't worry about the cons, the only people getting ripped off are the people buying the software that claims to show them the cards, the con artist makes a program that looks like it does something, then the user has to enter in thousands of hands to "synchronize with the rng" (something that is virtually impossible, especially with the poker sites changing the seed for the rng every could of hours), anyway after the user enters their 2000 or however many hands it is they find that the program doesn't work, they go to the official website and find that "ooohhh" they have to upgrade to version 4.1, for which they need a ticket from the owner of the website, something i am assuming they will never get. its actually quite interesting to see how much effort this con artist has put into this elaborate scam, if you do a google search for his 'product' you come up with heaps of forums where he's created fake accounts pretending to be actual customers promoting the product.
if anyones interested this is the site of the scam..

and this is some information disproving it

i went to www.verizon.net/sharing while on the phone with a customer service guy, and he completly took over my computer, as in i was watching the mouse move around my screen ane he was contrlling everything.

It was quite neat.

i know nada about computers, algorithms, trojans etc but i know this. if these guys had really developed a program that could cheat at poker and make them $xxxx per day do you really think they'd be desperately hawking it around the internet? surely they'd sit back quietly and keep the spoils of their efforts to themselves.
