Nacho Barbero Criticizes ACR's Security Measures During Live Stream
Poker player Nacho Barbero found himself in hot water after criticizing ACR's security measures during a live stream. The incident occurred during the US Poker Open final tournament, where Barbero secured second place with a $25,000 buy-in.
Criticism and Regret
During the stream, Barbero mentioned that ACR's security does not automatically track certain activities, such as the use of GTO Wizard during gameplay. He expressed regret for publicly sharing a screenshot from GTO Wizard, which revealed his use of the tool during a game. "Fuck! All the same, I should not have posted that screenshot from GTO Wizard, now everyone knows... It was not necessary to publish it online," he said.
Support and Controversy
Ike Huckseed supported Barbero's comments, stating that he was surprised ACR did not have measures in place to detect such activities. "I am surprised that on ACR such moments are not tracked automatically," Huckseed commented. The discussion sparked controversy among viewers, with many expressing their thoughts on the matter. ACR's official response to the incident was criticized for lacking substance, leading to further debate about the company's security practices.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
