Trouble in Poker Land

From the Tao of Poker blog, this post linking to other posts regarding cheating at a well known on-line poker site.

I like poker. I used to play a lot in high school and college in friendly games when you sit around the table with your friends getting high on too much Mountain Dew and maybe risk tomorrow's beer money. I like casino poker though I haven't had the time in the last few years to play but two or three times. I hate conspiracy theories and don't like to spread rumors, but the evidence of wrong doing at UltimateBet is too strong to ignore.

The business model of on-line only enterprises is going to continue to adapt and expand as our Internet connectivity continues to become more ubiquitous. As new services and activities are introduced, there will be problems. Paypal? E-bay? On-line banking? All have had their share of problems and have searched for solutions. So keep your cards close, and your wallet closer.
