tbh i would not just jump in if you have only played small stakes under a $1. i would have a try at $1 or $2 games first and maybe sit and watch a few tables so you dont crap yourself when they raise because they will raise alot if your normal game is 50 cent games or less. I cant really say where i think you would be best as i dont know what you play like and thats not for me to decide but what i think the best ting to do if your playing your normal game get a table up and watch the play on it see how they are raising, re-raising ect. and if you think you can play in that game then go for it, dont crap yourself just play your game
dont know if this helps you any to decide but thats what i did and GL if you go for it

yep, big companies wouldnt spoil there names and risk there brand. stuff like enron is just a single incident and a case on its own.
oh wait. I got a list of some big names who are on the blacklist. you might reconize some of them and wouldnt believe they fraud, scam and rig there products, customers and employees..(facts) but hey..the good news. there isnt a pokersite on that list yet..

^ I think the likely hood of dodgy practises, irregular use of company funds, fraud etc is probably quite high across online casinos/poker-rooms. Just not in the way that rigtards think it is though; rigging the RNG just doesn't make sense, would be easily exposed and can be tested for.
But nothing would surprise me in terms of regular white-collar crime/fraud etc.

Absolute Poker 'SuperUser' scandal would fall into that IMO but actually rigging the site against individual users is not possible/viable/worth it.
Having said that, the comment from Jess is interesting... My previous post was entirely about Poker, there's no point rigging it - Online Casino on the other hand is an ENTIRELY different matter!
I know that it is very easy to change the payout ratio from the published rate to whatever the casino wants it to be and then it's a simple matter of changing the ratio back if/when the site is audited..
