I dont think i would cheat. I play poker for fun and by cheating im sure all the fun would be taken out of it. Obviously i play to make money but its more about the enjoyment of the game for me so no i dont think i would cheat.

I'm pretty honest guy and I doubt I would cheat (even if I could without getting cought), unless I had a really big need for money. But I see no reason why that would happen. And I do play poker for both money and entertainment.

I play for not big cash game's at home and online at my home game buy in's are $100 per person no-rebuys 6-10 players we play 3 sometimes 4 game's a night buy in's go up every new game so the last game might get be 4 people with a $500 buyin winner take's all . At home I would not cheat these are my friends we have bill's to pay and rent .But online I like to make the best of every thing . I don't cheat but I do have a unfair way of winning .

That is same of saying: If you could win $10.000 per day, for free, no work, everyday 10k would appear in front of your house.... would you accept???
Come on that's not the point of the discursion, we talk about cheating becouse people think cheating is not cool, if we thought cheating was a nice thing there would not be a topic saying: Would you cheat???
any unfairness is cheating Zon, if its just colluding with other players thats cheating. Andi believe the majority of people when they say they wouldnt cheat because their is honestly very few barriers stopping players from colluding yet still the majority dont,
What is your slight unfair edge at the table, and are you called Zon at sites too, because i dont think i would want to play with you anymore

I think anyone would cheat if they knew they could get away it. Someone told me a long time ago, to get a job at the bank, you are asked a question "Have you ever thought about taking money". If you say no than you don't get the job.

You guys are not getting the point...
Thing is: we just don't like the idea o cheating becouse the society doesn't accept the ideia of cheating... It is not that we are good or bad, that's not the point... BECOUSE EVEN THAT WHO DECIDES IS THE SOCIETY... in my country letting old people take my sit in the bus is a good thing... At Japan it is not...
So the question is not WOuld you cheat if could not get caught but... The question is.. Woud you cheat if nobody cares that you cheat??? That's is the right question... becouse cheating with no one knowing is the same as i said: would accept money for free?

A true poker player would never cheat, but someone who just plays for the money would. Me personally i don't think i would cheat, i much rather just out play my opponent.
And also there was an incident on absolute poker, where someone could see the whole cards, and was caught, im pretty sure theres more about this in previous forum threads (search it)
