Online cheating...more than software

[XPOKERCHIC]

I have read several blogs lately about online cheating. I see a comment saying, "Why play online if you feel you are getting cheated?" Well you really don't know if you are getting cheated. Reason I say this is, you get that miracle card every now and again. If you suckout starting with AK vs KK, that is a reasonable call, but if you call with 27os vs AA and hit two pair, what where you doing in the hand?

Lots of cheats collude with each other. I try to avoid a table with 8 players from the same country, ie. Braizil, Russia, USA, etc. They may be working together. How would you know? It's called gambling and that is exactly what you are doing when you play any game.

I don't think the sites are after the right people. They auto-ban your chat for so called spamming the site, but say it is a coincidence that three players in a tourney have almost the same screen name and country. EX: 777JOHN777, 77JOHN77, 7JOHN7. If the players set up the accounts on different IPs then the site may not look at the screen names as similar. I have reported several players during my online playing and FT or PS just says thanks we will look into it. That I feel being a multi-account holder is cheating also. It's like having multiple re-buys for free. (See it mostly in freerolls).

People get cheated everyday, and you have no way to prove it then you are fighting a losing battle. Come up with a way to see the cheating and we got a deal. How to get order is the way to fix online gambling. If it is proved that no skill required, we may not be playing online for long. X

well just because someone calls with 72 that doesnt mean he is cheating or colluding 72 could just be his favorite hand or maybe he was priced in to call or maybe he just had a funny feelings that it was gona be a good flop, because I myself had pretty horrible hands like 84 and i called an all in and hit a straight off the flop and i called because i had a good feeling about the outcome lol... but as for players at same table from brazil and etc once again doesnt mean there is cheating and if thats your case then what about when they sit down and see a table full of people from the USA (which is most of ftp) could they then say usa players are colluding? no they cant because it wouldnt be fair so for you to think that isnt fair either.
