Re: My Statement
The thing I can't understand is why someone who's obviously good enough to win a ton of money playing poker needs to cheat to try and win even more. I could almost understand the motivation if it was a sucky player who'd lose otherwise.
It seems to me that in these days of the internet, where so much interaction is anonymous, a lot of people think it's ok to try and get away with as much as possible regardless of the ethical consequences. It's easier to steal when you can't see who you're stealing from (and they can't see you).
That, and there is a culture today of blaming the victim and not taking personal responsibility for one's actions. I cheated on PartyPoker? Well, they shouldn't have made it so easy for me to cheat! I stole $400 when Party mistakenly gave everyone a cruise cabin? They shouldn't have made that dumb mistake!
