I love it. Dont take this wrong. I honestly think it can be hacked by the right idividuals. Lets face it if microsoft itself and the US goverment can be hacked than what chance does even the best poker site stand against this threat. See we all love this game. we play it because of that, the money helps but it's the game itself that attracts us. If you play fake money its an entire differnt game even though you are playing the exact same game. PPL dont care if its fake $ and go all in with A X, J 3 suited though mind ya. LOL. even playing at the lowest limit possible with real $ ppl treat the game with more respect because it now has a true monetary value. Its no longer fake $ that can be replaced instantly. Thus the true game of texas hold em comes out where PPL dont do that crazy crap ( even though they do sometimes =] ). I've been to alot of casino's and Honestly you usually tip the dealer everytime you win which can be a fair bit of $ sometimes. you don't have to do that on the computer. You have to go get your own beer. but didnt have to tip the waitress now also. See what im saying here. You can play poker in you undies. as mastercard says PRICELESS. let alone smoke a butt or a big fatty. theres pros and cons to everything. All in all I still have to say I love it.

It doesn't matter why he typed it, he felt inclined to share his ideas with the forum. That's what this forum is about.

As for the hack comment, I completely agree that anything that is on the internet, is susceptible to hacking. There are plenty of techically savvy people who could do what they want with any software they can come across.

However, this is just another risk involved with playing online poker. They call it gambling for a reason, and this factor just adds to that risk.
