There are too many ways to cheat online. Multiple accounts, multiple IP's, multiple identities, IM's, cell phones, I could go on and on. To expect that a poker site has the sophistication to catch all of them is deluded. There have been scandals now at let's see...Party, Stars, Ultimate Bet, and now Absolute. Those are just the high profile ones that I can remember off the top of my head. What's more, if the poker site staff are in on a cheating scheme, most of it likely goes undetected.

You are a victim of your own wishful thinking if you think the world of online poker has any integrity.

What scandals have Party and Stars had? There were some bot accusations a couple years ago in the small stakes LHE games on Party, but that's all I can remember. What scandals have Stars been involved in? Also I'm going to help you out since you seem a little clueless, there was a big accusation of bots in the $200nl full ring games on FTP, however nothing was proven and it turned out that it ended up being a group of friends.

Don't mesh UB and AP with sites that actually have integrity like Stars, Party, FTP, etc. Those sites have always been a little shady, especially UB. Regardless, if you think the reason you can't win at your busto stakes games is because people are cheating then you're the one that is delusional.

All the ways you listed to cheat aren't very effective, and it's not difficult to spot colluders. None of that is even close to the magnitude of this incident with AP. And again, if you think somebody with access to all the hole cards is going to be playing your micro stakes games you are an idiot.
