Why is it just [B]Russian[/B] players? OK, maybe it is the most obvious at the moment, but you can bet it is going on worldwide. Anytime anonymous unscrupulous players can devise an edge, they will use it. Believing that there is some basic human trait preventing cheating anywhere money is involved is delusional, imo.
 
Once marginally honest players find situations and devices being used against them, they WILL [I]'defend' [/I]themselves'. [B]THAT[/B] is human nature. Past threads have addressed such issues but usually dismissed as not being found in freerolls and low buy-in events. So much for that theory.
 
This is one of the reasons I will NEVER deposit online. How often do we see Skype, AIM and all the other instant messaging forms mentioned online? Are we all naive enough to believe that they are only used for non-cheating purposes? Losing players get tired of losing ... and they WILL find a way to cheat, especially when forums and online resources are willing to help. And they are NOT all Russian.
 
Just a summary of Pokerstar's online growth should provide a clue. Less than a year ago (iirc) a busy day was when players went over 100,000 online at one time. Today, Tuesday, there is 212,000+ online at Stars right now. Are all of these 'new' 100k+ players doing it honestly and based solely on their skill (and some luck)?
 
Just me, but I'll stick with live games where no one at the table is using their cell or laptop against me.
