But when playing online, rampant cheating and endless numbers of bad players make the luck factor the deciding factor.

there is a book called dirty poker written by Richard markus (who wrote "the great casino heist, UK titl cant remember the American title), which talks about online collusion, bots and "peeker software" a lot.
It's quite an insight as to what goes on on the internet and the capabilities peopel have.
However it probably does not matter much to low limit players and high limit players probably have enough sense and knowledge to recognise and exploit bots and collusion

Collusion and botting are two things that cannot be denied in online play, and you're a total idiot if you think online poker isnt a completely different game.

Uhmmm, I win money play on the internets. I no collude and no do botting. Me just lucky?

Stop spreading lunacy. Collusion could happen and its easy to spot. A super-bot (if it existed) would be no different than a great player. Leave the table. If all the players around you are better than you, its more likely that you suck than you are swimming in superbot infested waters. To claim that collusion and bots are so pervasive as to actually make internet poker "a different game" makes me beleive you are either a donkey or a paranoid shzophrenic off his meds.

Sounds like this guy is finally putting in print what most of the online veterens prolly already know. It was only a matter of time, I guess, before a book like this got published.

Thoughts/opinions/kneejerk reactions?

If it exists, I view collusion as an aspect to some people's game that makes them better. Their (skill level + collusion) allows them to move up to larger stakes. Every one of us has our own skill level by Peter Principle, and the colluders are no exception. Perhaps with your skill level, you'd be ready for higher stakes.

Following up on your statements, it becomes a table selection thing. If I think people at my table are colluding, and they are good enough that I don't feel I have an edge, I get up. (I don't know if there is collusion or not, but the uncertainty is enough to put me on tilt and thus I need to get up)
