The main news of last week was a video recording of a game on the ACR Poker room.

The video was posted on the TrenirusGTO account. Their Twitter bio describes themselves as a "GTO poker solver for 6-max players."

"How playing with Trenirus looks like," the solver's creators proudly write. "You can try it yourself right now. Play like a PRO."

In the 5-minute video, a player whose nickname is obscured manages to enter his hole cards, opponents' actions, and board cards into the software and almost instantly arrives at GTO decisions.

The channel, which was created in August of this year, has only 192 subscribers. The video might have gone unnoticed if it hadn't been reposted by a regular with the nickname firenkes.

"This is RTA!!" he sounded the alarm , tagging the official ACR account. "A solver feeding live frequencies, ACR.
Same street, same action, instant GTO output before the player acts.

This is using a solver during the hand against real people...

If sites do not track and block this, it is just legalized cheating. It kills recreational games, flattens skill into whoever has the overlay open, and ruins the product for everyone else.

If ACR is not treating setups like this as RTA, they are letting it happen...

Firenkes' post has garnered over 240,000 views. This time, ACR representatives responded promptly.

In a lengthy message, they reminded that RTA is "strictly prohibited on ACR Poker," the events in the video violate the room's rules, an investigation has already begun, and all those responsible will be punished:

"Our Security and Game Integrity team has launched an investigation into the activity shown.

The investigation is focused on identifying the player and account involved, determining the full scope of the activity, reviewing relevant play, and establishing whether any additional accounts or players are involved.

To be clear: we are not investigating whether this type of use is permitted. It is not."

The very next day the culprit was identified :

– The ACR Poker username shown in the video was UGLYRETD.

Our investigation determined that the account was created on 8/2/2026, deposited $14.13, and played on ACR Poker for a single day.

During that time, the account played 65 hands at $0.05/$0.10 stakes, 27 hands at $0.02/$0.05 stakes and 19 hands at $0.01/$0.02 and recorded a net loss of $-13.12.

The account has been permanently banned from ACR Poker.

While the account was a net loser overall, it did win individual hands against other players during the session.

A total of 7 players who lost money directly to this account will be refunded for the affected hands and notified within the next 24 hours.

The creators of TrenirusGTO seem unfazed by the story. Not only did they not delete the video, but they even engaged in a discussion with the most vocal critics. Some of their comments resemble outright trolling.

"This shit is not improving your game," Chris Moneymaker responded. "It is blatant cheating and anyone caught using it will have their funds confiscated"

"Its crazy how everyone acts like we're some criminals," the Trenirus quote-tweeted ACR's official statement. "And these fucks literally banned our boy and confiscated a ton of money that he earned WITHOUT ANY KIND OF ADVICES FROM OUR SHIT by the way.
And its a big mistake. Very big, very huge quite frankly.

And what about GTO Wizard? Some of their users does way worse stuff than a little, tiny video... But our shit is better. Waaaay better, and stronger by the way! Everyone knows that!

Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

The scandal sparked a strong reaction in the community.

"With how easy it is to build tools using AI now, it's not really a question of if there is RTA going on (it probably hasn't been a question for years), but rather how good is the real time info they receive," writes Matt Berkey . "I really struggle to envision an ending that isn't the operators and the cheats making all the money."

"I agree with the quality sentiment," John Andress wrote back. "And for the most part the barrier to access to tech for a good solution is still high to have something “full self driving." CFR has limited coverage in complex formats (ex. 3 blind ante), & GTO RTA only adds marginal value for skilled players. Regardless, the patterns to identify regs consistently using something are measurable because humans blunder a lot."

"Perhaps there's a debate to be had around how good the info is that players can utilize, but I'm not so sure i agree that there's a huge limitation on these 3 blind+ ante formats.

GTOW handles them, as well as, big ante etc., in seconds and we both know the public/ commercial tech is always months to years behind what's available privately.

The larger point is that access was the biggest hurdle in the past, preventing any sort of scale.

As the barriers to accessibility lowers the volume will increase and the new problem they'll attempt to solve is detectability."

"This is very scary but the scary thing is this is less than 1% of the actual big scary RTA news that every reg has been speaking nonstop about for the last 1 week." Patrick Leonard hinted at the latest updates to GTO Wizard.

"GTO Wizard and these other instant pre-flop ICM sellers should remove their products. It's terrible for the game," one commentator urges.

“Yes it’s 100x worse than this (and this is scary already)"
