I win a good bit of the time when I play at the Hard Rock, but when I play online it seems that people make calls that they really shouldn't make. Then again, the minimum sit n go at the casino is $120, and the minimum sit n go online is generally $5-$6, which could also play a role. What do you think?

Well hate to admit, I guess I have done it sometimes. I got to know someone on-line that became my mentor. A few times we would play a sng together and chat via IM. Mostly started so he could help me along and assist me make good decisons. Other times IM what each other had would also help. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it did not. I have also been in other sng or open tables where it appeared others would be in collusion cause they seemed to sit at same tables often too. I would have to believe much more common than one might think of on-line cheating. Substantially less at the brick and mortar casinos.

Online poker is evil, trust me. You have to realize it is a computer program made to induce more betting so you use their services and they rake more profits. That is why you will always see multiple hands with AA VS KK, flushes, straights etc very different from a casino game. Then you have the players who you call "FISH" who deliberately stay in hands they should fold because they know it's online poker and the likelihood they will hit their flush or straight on the river is likely.

I've heard some people actually have software that allows them to see everyone's hand, which pisses me off
