I have a sneaking suspicion that ZeeJustin, JJProdigy and BuustedJ are not alone amongst their peers. I believe young people are much less mature and constrained by conscience in terms of what they are willing to do to for an easy buck.

A lot of you haven't been around long enough to appreciate the social consequences of exploiting and taking advantage of your fellow human beings, but maybe one day you will.

Speaking for myself I'm just not motivated enough to figure out how to beat the "security" protocols on FTP, Prima and Stars, but I would guess there are plenty of kids with too much time on their hands who are.

ZeeJustin said all his friends (presumably players who have done as well as he has) were multi-accounting and I believe him. Reading all the misogynistic bile and reports of scam-mongering in NVG leads me to believe Poker Stars ethical guidelines concerning collusion aren't going to be taken real seriously by a lot of the resident punks either.

So basically its a combination of three things .. more leisure time to learn the game, more computer savvy and less scruples about using that knowledge to gain any and every advantage ethical or not.

JMHO.

R U serious? Have you ever been to a casino or a live tournament? The amount of scamming scumbags and broke angleshooting degenerate gamblers is huge. I would much rather thrust a succesfull online player than a live grinder. Not saying that there arent alot of scumbags in online poker also.

I thinks its a combination of several things:

A change in demographics. In the past people who spent a lot of time playing poker often were degenerate gambler. After the poker boom its smart college students or the likes.

The amount of time able to spend obviously. Its hard to grind 100K hands a month when you have a wife and kids.

Computer skills and ability to use software and 2p2.

And young people pwn old people LDO.
