Online poker cheating blamed on employee

Anybody remember the 'Siko'? He reckoned that 9-3 unsuited won a big percentage of hands in Pokerroom- everyone thought it was funny until they tested his theory.

Well I have played a lot of online poker and have seen just about everything. But my problem is not running into hackers using programs to see hole cards its the nature of low-stakes holdem. People will make bone headed decisions when there is very little money on the line. I get frustrated and think there is something fishy going on from time to time when I am running bad, but that is more of the stakes I play then cheating. There has been numerous stories on the net over the years at people getting around the system but for the most part these guys are going after the big buy in tourneys that I do not play. So, I think for the average player not looking to make a living at online poker you will be fine as long as you realize bad play will happen at the lower limits.
