Poker pro Patrik Antonius has made waves with his claim that online poker is no longer a fair game due to the widespread use of player tracking software.

PokerListings caught up with Antonius at the recent European Poker Tour Barcelona main event, querying him on his absence from the online poker scene. Antonius explained that “the technology has advanced so much that it’s become a totally different game,’ so much so that if you don’t use tracking software, “it’s not a fair game anymore.”

Antonius said the widespread use of tracking software meant that poker “has become more of a game of numbers.” Players were basing so many of their decisions on what the software told them to do that “it feels like you’re playing against a computer these days.”

Antonius, who insisted he’d “never used technology to get an edge,” said the ubiquity of tracking software meant he’d actually had to quit playing online Hold’em and PLO. Antonius said he still enjoyed playing online mixed games, for which no tracking software yet exists, but he expects that “some smart people are already working on it.”
