Cheating at Absolute Poker

I'm probably coming late to the party commenting about this. However, if I don't mention it, I would be remiss in my post as poker scribe. I was patient and waited for the story to break at Casino Times, before I did. Now it has. There are several rumors as to who the pro is, and since I'm not one to speculate on the truth of those, I'll simply comment on what I believe to be true.

Cheating took place. The situation was rectified by Absolute. The responsible party has been identified. Does this kill online poker? To this, I answer a resounding NO!!!!

Despite what some would have you believe, Online Poker is here to stay. The UIGEA and naysayers notwithstanding. I believe that either the Frank bill will pass, regulating Online Poker in the US, or, the UIGEA will be repealed, or both. Sites that panicked when the UIGEA was passed, are now finding ways to allow US players to play, including Doyle's Room.
