So, as a player that just started playing online a few months ago, I am a little shocked to discover that in my search for a place to call my poker home, I never heard about the cheating scandal at AbsolutePoker.com
For reference, here are some links so you can read about it yourselves:

My immediate goal has been to reach a break even in poker. I feel like once I get out of the lifetime negative, I’ll feel more free to play. It’s also exciting to be able to say that I’m actually winning money, rather than just recovering losses.

Um, I’m down a little bit overall, but I still feel like I’m progressing. I went on tilt at PokerStars a little bit and lost about 25% of my stack. I deposited some more money at FullTilt and that’s going ok. I still find the competition at FullTilt to be much tougher than PokerStars- not [...]
