Three barrels of value for you including an interesting tale of a suspected bot turning up at the final table of a Turbo Championships of Online Poker (TCOOP) event; probation for a naughty poker dealer, and what could poker learn from the Royal Rumble?

There was a time when I used to think my friends were idiots for believing that online poker was rigged.

I guess I owe them an apology.

If Bill Gates, Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking believe artificial intelligence (AI) will one day wreak havoc on this world, why should we be so naive to think that online poker is an AI free environment?
