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

The internet sites do NOT cheat the players. They don't have to. They have the rake. Why would they cheat when they're guaranteed 5 % of all the action?

The only possible cheating players can do is collution. It's easily done, but also easily detected. And the sites have a vested interest in rooting it out.

Playing poker vs bad players requiors a differant skill set than playing vs good players. However, a skilled player can adjust his game and come out a long term winner vs bad players. This was the whole point behing Small Stakes Hold'em.

I'm not saying they do it, but they also have the power to manipulate pocket and community cards to create larger pots and more rake.
