RTAs can be detected according to GGPoker and over $1 million has been confiscated as a result.
The battle against Real Time Assistance (RTAs) has heated up as GGPoker are the first operator to make a very public stance against them.
Last month RTAs came under the spotlight when German high stakes player Fedor Kruse was accused by his housemates of using a ‘dream machine’ database of thousands of presolved cash game spots.
GGpoker have announced that 40 accounts have been banned for using RTAs, 13 of which have had combined funds of $1,175,305 confiscated to be returned to players. A further 40 accounts have been issued warnings.
In a blog they stated that RTAs were detectable. While they would not indicate their exact methods to detect it, they did say:
Massive increases in data analysis are a big part of our new process. We also want to emphasize another critical factor. Our Team deeply analyzes Poker hands based on our proprietary algorithms with the assistance of some of the brightest Poker minds. Their insights and contributions continually improve our algorithms. Through this process, we can quickly establish whether GTO Poker play has occurred. Once we have made this determination, we look at a variety of other factors to determine whether said GTO play involved the use of RTA.
They have also added a feature within the hand history replayer for players to report suspicious hands.
We have entered a very interesting and perhaps worrying territory in the GTO debate where there is the potential for a player who is simply playing incredibly well to be penalised. Some of the elite players in poker study spots in PIOSolver for days on end and it is not unrealistic to assume some are playing very close to GTO.
Is it possible for a human to play close to GTO? Let us know in the comments:
