It is not difficult at all to collude/cheat.

It MAY be difficult to do it at a level where the benefits are greater than the risks in a live game.

It is difficult to do it well enough so you cannot be caught, and it is difficult to do it to get a real advantage. Obviously things like chip dumping and best hand play are simple enough, but that is extremely easy to catch and just plain stupid to try.

You can rationalize until the cows come home, but I ain't buying it.

The bottom line is that I spent a better part of a year busting colluders and enjoyed throwing them off the site, but I still don't believe in absolute morality. I don't let personal beliefs get involved with business.

You can all say that X is wrong and Y is reprehensible, but I prefer not to cast judgement, because we all have a lot of character flaws. He who shall throw the first stone, etc.

You make a pretty good point and lest I be judged, I will not pass judgement on you. I will however pass judgement on your behavior and only for the sole purpose of convincing you to reevaluate the message you are sending. I have read many of your posts, found many of your tech advise both generous and useful, and believe that you probably have some level of respect from other posters. Your cavalier attitude toward cheating is not very well thought out. Cheating is a threat to the game. It is wrong, and I don't care how many posters here have done it, even...accidentally?!

This absolute morality stuff is fine if you have some 'end justifies the means' reason for colluding someone out of their quarters, but I can't imagine a scenario.

The morality of your actions should at the very least be crystal clear to you.

You busted out ZeeJustin and you did the same thing...possibly worse?!

For the record:
I have not, will not cheat. If your cards are visable I will tell you. I want to beat you out of your money. I am a poker player. If I wanted to steal your money, I would be _______. Judge yourself.
