Do you mean integrity among the players or among the site owners/operators?

I am interested in a discussion of all phases of online poker. I have played some and really question the integrity of the entire system. However, i am not that knowledgeable about who owns the sites, etc. I am convinced a lot of teaming goes on but that happens in B&M too and an experienced player should be able to deal with that.

I will speak of live poker games and only that.

I do not believe that there is much "teaming" at all. (and I think you're saying teaming as in reference to cheating, correct)?

grant it, at the real high limits(and I'm talking REAL high), there sometimes is a bit of collusion. I have heard stories from people who's judgements and experiences I would trust and respect tremendously.

However, at the regular limits, and those are the limits that most of us play at, most people do not cheat, period.

I don't suppose I trust any poker game where I can't look my opponent in the eye.

It's really nice that there is somebody who questions the integrity of on-line poker and does so by provoking reasonable dialogue, instead of showing up and bombing the forum with "DO NOT PLAY ON (WHATEVER SITE) POKER - THEIR RIGGED. YOUR GONNA LOOSE ALL YOU"RE MONEY THEIR."

The long and short of it is that it is in the best interest of the big sites to run an honest game - they make a lot of legitimate money. The smaller sites, I wouldn't trust at all.
