No, I'm not saying cheating is right... but:

If I ever make serious money at poker like the top professionals, and cheating is the only way to do it, then I'll cheat. Only if, of course, I'm being cheated against. To begin with, this is gambling. Isn't it already morally wrong? If it's not, then who's to judge me and say that cheating is wrong?

Enough arguing about this - nothings going to come of it. I'm just presenting the other side. JJ got jacked for $180k, but he's got more. This isn't going to stop him or the other pros.

I'm going to have to agree to disagree with you here. I understand what you are saying, but I don't buy into it. At all. Especially your suggesting that the only way to make money at poker is by cheating. That's ludricous, and I would think you would know better.

Also, about this notion that "everyone is doing it" - I completely disagree with that too. I'm sure there are people doing it, but none that I know of. When I was in the Bahamas with dozens of the top online pros sitting in the lobby playing in big MTTs, no one was doing this. And no one was even cheating either (sharing cards, etc). Yes, people were playing as teams (5 guys railing one player and giving him advice), but that's completely, 100% different.

I don't know if I could ever convince myself that just because others are doing it that it makes it needed.

I'd rather never play poker again than think I needed to cheat like that because everybody else was doing it.
