I dont mean to be an alarmist but this isnt completely true. An SSL connection is between your computer and the poker site so yes it can't be intercepted. HOWEVER if somebody hacked into the router you are using to connect to the internet(if the router is not secured) then they have the SSL certificate because they are now in your wireless network even if you have file sharing off(which means they can decrypt your network traffic and see your login information). The average person will not know how to do this but a hacker with the knowledge of how this is done can do it with ease.

This doesn't make any sense at all. As long as your computer is secure and you trust the poker software on it, it doesn't matter what's between you and the site in terms of data security. Hacking into the router wouldn't affect the security of SSL since (properly implemented) SSL is a protocol that only relies on the security of the endpoints.
