114282642 da7960f28e How To Make 18,000BB/100 HandsAccording to securident, they’ve discovered a flaw in the PokerRoom.com web-based client that allows you to drain other player’s accounts. Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad!!!!!

Remember kids, when you combine poker clients, sloppy programming, and HTTP, bad things can happen.

Here’s to hoping they get this fixed quickly before someone actually decides to use it.

This isn’t news to me! Every time I play on Pokerroom my account gets drained! I’m just glad I can attribute it to a flaw in the programming and not my horrible play. In fact, I think the same flaw is on Party, Paradise, Bodog, Full Tilt, Stars…

There seems to be a slow leak at Full Tilt as well.

Its a virus called “secondbestisis”

Very dangerous worm program that nibbles at my bankroll.

using strip_tags on query string variables = +EV

Also not going to some random website from a random stranger = +EV

Of course it being Pokerroom, they also enjoyed some random site outages in the middle of games this afternoon.
