Default playing from a public computer?

I m currently on a one month asian trip amd I m just dying to play a few hands.

Problem is, I could only do it by accessing my account from a public computer : never ever do it under any circumstances? possible but risky? doable without too much risk if I change my password at the end of every session?

Thx for advice

I would never risk it espeically with a sizeable deposit amount at a site. It's just not worth it, particuallary (and no offense) in an Asian country. From what I understand they are rife with virus/spyware.

My experience with this is that we had three people in our company visit China. Each user's laptops were assaulted with viruses/spyware.

Just don't play, even if you changed your password there could be keyloggers on public computers which makes it pointless to change anyway.

Banks etc always advise against checking your account online using a public computer, and if there's a lot of money in your poker account I'd treat it as such. Better safe than sorry [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

It's really easy to install a software or hardware keylogger. There's no way to be sure, so I wouldn't trust a public machine. Sorry.
