Party Poker is by far the worse. I downloaded the software and it had a bundle package with it. Totally screwed my computer. Every time I turned my computer on, it took 20 minutes to get though the pop ups.

If ... let me repeat that ... IF you believe what Absolute Poker says, the employee was one of their programmers that found a way to manipulate the system. He presented his finding and suggested a way to fix it. Management ignored him. Some say management did this because the fix was too expensive to do. Others say because management thought the odds that an outsider would be able to do so were less than zero. Still others say it was a combination of those two things. Frustrated, the employee then did it to prove it could be done. He didn't take any money out of the system because he wasn't trying to steal but to make a point. Unfortunately for AP, players picked up on the point before AP management did.

Knowing plenty of programmers over my life, I can actually see one doing it to make their point and them thinking they were completely justified in doing so and doing it for the company's own good.

I still play at absolute, they have some good tournaments and some loose players.

Even without knowing about the scandal, Absolute is the poker room I've played at and never redeposited. It was just an overall bad experience.
