			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Allegations that cheaters manipulated the software powering a leading Internet poker site so they could see their opponents\&#8217; hole cards have triggered a $75 million claim against a Canadian company, msnbc.com has learned.</p>
<p>The alleged subterfuge on UltimateBet.com — one of the 10 top poker sites — is the biggest known case of fraud targeting an Internet gambling site and its customers, according to the company that owns the site. It is similar to a case of cheating that occurred last year on UltimateBet’s sister site, AbsolutePoker.com, but this time the thieves ran the scheme for far longer — at least from January 2005 to January 2008, it said. </p>
<p>Word of the $75 million U.S. claim ($80 million Canadian) — the first indication of the scope of the alleged cheating — emerged this week when msnbc.com contacted a court-appointed liquidator overseeing the voluntary dismemberment of Excapsa Software Inc. of Toronto, which formerly owned and licensed the poker software to UltimateBet and other gambling sites. The claim was filed by Blast-Off Ltd. of Malta, a private company that currently has an ownership interest in Ultimate Bet. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Full Tilt released 6 new avatars in their latest software update and there&#8217;s <a href="http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showthread.php?t=268575">already a 2+2 thread discussing the relative merits of the new avatars</a>:</p>
<p><img src="http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/6633/newavatarsni9.jpg" alt="new Full Tilt avatars" /></p>
<blockquote><p>
Right now i am using the Policeofficer.</p>
<p>My theory is that the policeman is the hero and will not lose big hands just b/c he is such a good guy. Plus ive seen PineApple Express and that Samuel L Jackson movie where he is a cop looks amazing good.</p>
<p>The Leprechaun- it makes it seem as if it gives u luck but really it does nothing and attracts bad hands</p>
<p>The Wizard- very gay imo. You lose EV unless u use lines from what a wizard would say like in Potter books. Or the infamous, &#8221; I put on my wizard hat and robe&#8221;</p>
<p>Penguin- It gives u alot of small poocket pair which are a joke at times cuz u flop bottom set only to run into top set. Penguin is teh gay unless u like birds.</p>
<p>Panda- Asian people use the panda, but pandas are stupid they eat bamboo which is limited in some of the areas they live in the world. The panda deserves to die it needs to eat different kind of food like grass, cuz there seems to be alot of it around the world</p>
<p>James bond lookin dude- common among white players b/c they can relate to him. But its dealt alot of cooler set up hands
</p></blockquote>
<p>I played with the panda for a few hours last night, and that fucker cost me about two buy-ins at the LO8 tables. I won&#8217;t go so far to say that he needs to die, but he&#8217;s definitely on notice unless he gets his act together.</p>
