I'm going to say it again because I really feel this way.

The people here who play casually and want every red flag to be raised for them are just seeking a dead end. I am amazed that you guys are so shocked that rampant cheating goes on at the highest levels where the MOST money is on the line. Maybe actually being a poker pro and having lived in Vegas for a time has tainted me that much.

You have to watch your own back, you can't expect the world to just put it out there for you every time. Having some sort of watchdog thing will be completely ineffective because a) it would be ridiculous work for lloyd or whoever b) the information would stop reaching anyone who would report it to lloyd c) the attempts at cheating are never going to cease.

For a long time my attitude whenever I have sat in any poker game anywhere is that I am being cheated until I prove otherwise. It's just that simple, there are tons of people who will do anything when the price is right.

P.S. I am not even going to respond to people who think this post is sympathetic towards the cheaters or condones moderate cheating or anything else ridiculous that one might incorrectly extrapolate from it.
