but for all of the above, the reason most online players lose has nothing to do with cheating. It's that they just can't play. I've been playing a lot of $20\40 on Pokerineurope (=VC) this last fortnight and it's remarkable how many people, even at this level, defend their blinds with any two cards or call for inside straights heads-up out of position etc.
In the no-limit cash games I've played, I am increasingly aware that the reason I've not made as much as I should have done is that I've hitherto given my opponents credit for a level of thought that they just didn't possess. Proceeding on the basis that they are total morons has proved to be much more profitable.
