This means absolutely nothing.

Listen, I have databases of hundreds of thousands of hands. I am a lifetime winner at online poker. That fact will likely never change. Is my sample size too small? Maybe. I watch poker and see "pros" who don't play any better than I do. I just watched a world champion player self destruct the other night on ESPN.

What's more likely? That online poker players play poker at such a sophisticated level that most people at their table can't even comprehend it or that there something else happening at the table.

I observed a quantum shift in the difficulty of games I was playing in a couple years back when word got out about how Zee and his buddies cheated. This was around the same time that Stars became the largest site and just before potty became a ghost town.

There are too many ways to cheat online. Multiple accounts, multiple IP's, multiple identities, IM's, cell phones, I could go on and on. To expect that a poker site has the sophistication to catch all of them is deluded. There have been scandals now at let's see...Party, Stars, Ultimate Bet, and now Absolute. Those are just the high profile ones that I can remember off the top of my head. What's more, if the poker site staff are in on a cheating scheme, most of it likely goes undetected.

You are a victim of your own wishful thinking if you think the world of online poker has any integrity.
