Google Plus, the latest pretender of Facebook, has another step forward in the League against the social media giant. They have entered play, clearly an integral part of the online community experience, and do great hit with titles such as angry birds and Zynga Poker.

Zynga Poker

Zynga Poker is an online free-to-play video poker game with arguably the largest community of its kind, even surpasses the trademark WSOP game. It has been speculated that Zynga, the developer of popular online applications such as FarmVille, Mafia Wars and Treasure Isle, perhaps the biggest winner of a future regulation of the u.s. market with its player base consisting of more than 36 million users, many of whom may be ready for a real money player as Zynga offered such an option.

Now, the company expands into the Google Plus camp also, probably Mark Zuckerbergto the desperation of the rival company Zynga almost exclusively at a social media appearance so far. On behalf of Google, Plus Vic Gundotra Senior Vice President of Engineering commented the new phase in the development of official Developer's blogtheir platform in the:

"Today we add games to Google +. With the Google + project we want to bring the nuance and wealth of real-life parts on the web. But share is about more than just calls. The experience we have together are just as important to our relationships. We want to play online games just as fun, and just as useful, like in real life play.

That means that you see more control over when you play, how you play them and with whom you share your experiences. Games are there when you want them in Google + and gone when you don't.

When you are ready to play, the Games password page — click on the button of the games at the top of your stream. You can see from the latest game updates from your circles, leaves the invites that you have received and check out games that people you know have recently played. The Games page is also where your game performance. So you can share your latest high score — your circles will see only the updates if they are interested in to play. "

One of the borders that Goole Plus certainly seems to have about his rival is that they are 95% of the income of application to the developers offer, compared to the 70% Facebook, according to gambling911.com offers. This can even more devs to G +, especially those who are struggling on FB, which is also to the tense competition between the two super companies contributes good lure.

U.S. tweeted poker pro Jimmy Fricke has recently that certain cards are marked in the Bellagio, what's more, they even in the highest stakes games are used:

Each one is marked "ace of spades in Bellagio and nobody gives a shit at all. I said it out in 10ks and big cash and no one cares, "he wrote.

Fricke claims that the cards are marked {#} thanks to their storage conditions as the (a) on the bottom of the pack and it is hooked under the weight of the rest. Therefore, the pro can readily recognize the ACEs of Spades, obtaining an unfair advantage over his opponents.

"Screw this. I get in a pot where I know that my opponent has the axis after I've told the table that they are all highlighted. I feel like a fraud. "

Fricke added on his Twitter that once he pulled even a bluff he had never dare to try, he had not {#} A known his opponent had the.

This is not the first time players complain about the cards in Las Vegas; for example, was a deck found briefly during the last WSOP. Ultimately, the question arises as to how it is that no attention is paid to one main instrument of live poker, although we talk about a million dollar company ...

Dogishead Girah Jungleman and interviewed on scandal

Bluff Magazine has the two high stakes players who seem to have the most suspicious relationship with José ' Girah ' Macedothe scammer interviewed. Daniel ' Jungleman12 ' Cates and ' dogishead ' Haseeb Qureshi were asked a few more or less pressing questions and here are some of their answers.

Daniel ' Jungleman12 ' Cates
Currently there seems no end to the scandal that surfaced recently Girah 2 p 2, as members of the forum and the whole poker to unearth and newer and newer NVG community continues to prove details throughout the day and come up with even more conspiracy theories and conjectures. So far, Qureshi has tried more than once to his name, but apparently he only succeeds in going deeper down with each of its messages and statements, admission to actions that had proven and deny others.
Regardless, Bluff Magazine has interviewed both of them and this is only the first instance "Jungleman ' easily publicly over (part of speaks) his involvement, vague as it can.
BM: what was your reaction once you realized that Jose was, in fact, scamming people?
Jungleman: My reaction was a mix of ' how did this make sense? ' and ' what he thought? '. I feel like there's a hole in my understanding of is Jose. (I) Was not sure what to think of him after I learned from it.
BM: for people who are not familiar with the high stakes poker world, how often does the backup or coach someone you've never met in person? There are no safety protocols for situations like this?
Jungleman: fairly common for online poker, support, etc. usually has to do with reputation, results, mutual friends and maybe some other things. Security protocols are not real. I guess they did not really exist because of the implied threat of something like this happens to the reputation of the stakee.
BM: so how does this affect your relationship with Haseeb?

Jungleman: honestly, I really believe that Haseeb had good intentions. He has helped Jose a lot and it really frustrating for him to watch Jose just throw everything away like this. He is a good friend and helped me with my career as well. I don't think Haseeb deserves all the shit he gets.
BM: many have speculated that Jose just a face/name is linked to the account and maybe Haseeb or others on the account. We know of at least one instance where this Haseeb played on Jose's account. How can you be 100% sure that Jose belongs the games of the hands on that account?

Jungleman: I am very sure that all hands played on Jose the account of him (unless Jose has allowed others to play on its account) except in the one instance where Haseeb allowed to play on his account. Almost certainly is more than 95% of Jose's hands.
BM: When Jose was disqualified from the Bluff Poker Challenge at Lock Poker, did you know that it was Haseeb who had played on the account?
Jungleman: Yes, but I didn't want to get involved. I know it is not a habit.
BM: you and Haseeb had plans to meet and live with Jose in Portugal. Do you still want to meet him or just washing your hands completely of him?

Jungleman: If I want to meet him now, it's for a statement and for my money back. I know for a fact that I took action in relation to one of the two names of his friend (sauron1989, dollarman) so it seems likely that he has scammed me so well.
BM: you have to admit, that your image a bit of a hit here because of your connection has taken to him, no?
Jungleman: sure, if the number, I do not know specific. I hope not too much.
BM: There Is a part of you, that's quite suspicious of Haseeb and Jose the relationship?
Jungleman: No. Haseeb knew that 2 + 2 blowup would as soon as he heard about the scam, he wanted to limit damage. It appears that failed completely.

Haseeb Qureshi also gave an interview to Bluff that something more simple and urgent questions, after a public outcry about those above and a few more that addressed Cates. At least, finally admitted that he has ' dogishead ' behind the chip dumping scandal that the ' involved ' samchauhanmerge account, of which more than $ 100,000 went to ' Girah ' legal challenge before the end of the Bluff. The pro HU still denies, however, that he had knowledge about the ongoing challenge, otherwise he would not have done it.
He also stated that he was not aware of José Macedo holding of more than two accounts on 2 p 2 (' ' ' LookingForProdigyGirah ' and), and he only posted on the forum under the name ' Girah ' screen and did that at most one or two occasions. ' Dogishead ' does not take into account his role in the Macedo life that of an agent, although he admit that he tried to get online sponsorship for him, while the rest to a real employee. In addition, its credibility has been affected, and Qureshi acknowledged that he was wrong in not be 100% fair from the very beginning, reportedly out of fear of the consequences-which he has since had to suffer regardless.
Most of the community continues to at least skeptical about Qureshi of story and the number of people who suspect Daniel Cates is involved at a higher level than previously understood that also increases (while it is now generally accepted that the ' Sauce123 ' third-party, not at fault). In any case, I am curious about where all this goes and how long it will before the sh * tstorm calms and the mess is cleaned up.
