I'm convinced that online poker rooms are, by and large, on the level. If they were not, the top professional poker players in the world would avoid them like the plague. While there is legitimate reason to be concerned about cheaters online, it would naive to think that it is not equally prevalent in face-to-face games as well.
Richard Marcus, a former professional casino cheat, writes a great blog in which he reports and analyzes the latest developments in cheating at poker and other money games:

> Some pro (I don't recall which one) said "if you excell at cash games you'll suck at tournment games and vise verse" This is true. I used to be a very good cash game player, but for the las months (give or take a few weeks) I have been playing only tournments (online and live), and have become a very good tournment player (300 tournments w/ 105 money finishes, w/ 20 final tables and 4 wins). But today I decided to play a ring (cash) game online and relized I could no longer play cash games, to quote Matt Damon from Rounders "if you can't spot the mark at the table within the 1st 5 minutes..... . you're the mark", to say I play like a donkey is an understatement but I did make a lot of donkeys happy today.
> After losing about $500.00 (on the $.25-$.50 tables, yeah that bad) I decided it was time to call it a day before I went on full blown Mike the Mouth Tilt and come here and post this question.... ... How come you can't do both well?
