With all that’s been taking place lately with online poker, it amazes me that so many people act surprised, or still believe playing online is safe and the same as live.  
   
  1)  High stakes cheaters on Absolute. (Seeing other players cards)
  2)  Bodog reimbursing players from BOT infestation. 
  3)  Poker Stars freezing winners purse from multi-accounting in WCOOP   5 million.
   
  This is only what the sites were forced to contend with. Imagine what was swept under the carpet over the years trying to protect the integrity of online poker.
   
  The biggest threat of course without having an insider at a site, is the pro. collusion teams. I personally know a poker player from a local live club, who was part of a team that was nailed at Poker Stars. Their accounts were seized and all the players were banned. Total seized was over $7,000.00 dollars from 5 players. Not one word was printed about this incident, or what they did with the money. 
   
  With all the software support available today, most online players that rely on it, couldn’t and don’t have a chance playing live. Half of them couldn’t tell you pot or hand odds without it.
   
  Online poker can not guarantee a fair game one way or another. Not that cheating doesn’t take place live, but a 99%  better chance of it not happening. 
   
  You can make money online, but you better invest in every edge you could buy, and learn where and what is safest to play. And even after doing that if you still have any money left to risk, there are still no guarantees. 
   
  Having an experienced great game is what it was all meant to be. Online poker is going backwards.
