Message: [QUOTE="dsvw56, post: 977039, member: 40873"] A couple things A) It takes a long time and a lot of hard work to become a winning player on your own. It took me about 8 months and losing more money than I care to divulge to finally start winning when I first started. Do the smart thing, and if you really want to win seek the help of others. Maybe spend the $150 or so and get a membership at a training site. Get a copy of PokerTracker or Holdem Manager, they are essential to improving your game. Spend lots of time in the hand analysis section of the forums here. Most of the experienced members here, myself included, are more than willing to help players who are actively looking to improve, so don't be afraid to ask questions. B) If you stick to the mainstream sites like Full Tilt and PokerStars, cheating is pretty much non-existent. They have very advanced methods for detecting any sort of foul play. If you feel you're being cheated, contact support and they will conduct an investigation in to it. Hell, apparently there were some people colluding in some SnG's I was playing. I didn't realize it at the time, but one day Stars sent me an e-mail letting me know and re-imbursed my account. C)I mean no offense with what I'm about to say but it needs to be said. Paranoia is a bitch. No one is out to get you. It's very easy to use the thought of being cheated as a way to validate your losses. People have a hard time dealing with not being able to win, but for some reason rarely do they come to realize the truth; that they're just not good enough. The sooner you realize that you are a losing player, the sooner you can start on the road to improvement. D) About bots . . . The fact is, for the most part they are horrible horrible players. The best bot in the world (Polaris), is about as good as some of the worlds best players, but it is only able to play Heads Up Limit Hold'em. And all the bots that people use are lightyears behind Polaris. I doubt there is a bot around that could be a winner in a game bigger than 3 handed with players that are somewhat competent, especially if the game is No Limit. E) The good winning players are going to seek you out and try to take your money. That's what good players do. You look for players that arent as good as you, and you take their money. I wouldn't make any money if I only played with people who are as good or better than me. [/QUOTE]
