..of online cheating is most likely higher than most online players would like to admit.  The recent exposure of the "AP" exposed cards incidence is just a small tip of the iceberg to serious on-line cheating.  In a real world game things such as tipping your co-conspirators to your hand strengths are done with signals which give info and directions to your "partners". In online poker playing with allies is so prevalent that chat rooms and text messaging between players is so common that simply monitoring a shared poker chat room for 1 hour and your are almost gauranteed to see some forms of grifting.  Also, how many times have you played in a MTT and seen 5 to 10 players with almost identical names. Only the niave and unsophisticated would see the "AP" incident as an isolated crime spree.  With current hacking techniques and a willingness or desire to break into these online poker companies systems it wouldn't surprise me if one day we find out that a small percentage similiar to a rake has systematically been taken form every online player.  It comes to mind the master thief who stoled pennies from everyones bank account over several years to rack up millions.  Anyway, the real percentage of online cheating i would estimate to be at above 10% or above in every type of game.
