In Response To: The bottum line... (Holdem Man)

"First of all, if you are good enough to be playing 80-160 online you should move to Las Vegas or a city with casinos that offers those stakes."

I think you only say that because you have some bias or discomfort with playing that high on the internet. Theres no reason why you MUST play B&M also.

No one says to the guys who are making a living playing 100-200 at the bellagio- "guys- if youre playing 100-200 at the bell- you should probably make sure you play at Ultimate Bet also."

As a side note- LV would probably be the last place youd want to move-
if your sole goal was to play those limits.

"I play online for a couple hours a day. I have never encountered cheating- mostly at the 10-20 level, 20-40 level. When people talk of cheating I think it is mostly false."

Im glad you havent run into it.

"However, I personally dont feel safe playing at those stakes over an internet connection."

I absolutely dont blame you. Theres so much we cant see- its definitely disconcerting. And if thats how you feel about it- then god knows- youre making the right decision deciding not to play.

"Obviously if you are playing and winning then everything else is irrelevant. Good Luck"

In the long run- yes- i believe this is the main issue. Of course- in the short term- anyone can win- even with collusion occuring.

Best of luck to you too.

I apologize if my response came off too harsh. I wasnt directing it at you at all. As you can tell from Czech and my responses- this is not the first time weve had this conversation- and it always seems to get bogged down at the same point. I was simply making a general comment about that.
