my wife is taking up poker

I understand what you are saying and all, but there would be little to no way for any online site to detect this sort of behaviour if you were smart about it, not being a complete idiot.

Getting a laptop with internet access, a lot of people do this simply because they can use the net on their way to work, riding the bus or subway or whatever. That is why I refuse to play high buy-in tourneys, the fact that your money is too vulnerable to being cheated out of you. I'll stick to my $5 and $10 buy-in tourneys, thank you.
