Cheating by the site is a risk, but on Poker Stars I feel fairly safe because they have so much invested and would do their best to make sure their image does not get tainted.

I mainly played heads up before Black Friday, and there is more to it than just simple odds. You get into a psychological battle, which includes odds, and has money at the end.

I stayed around the 50NL games, but was still able to pull in $1000/mo playing in my spare time. Then there was Black Friday.
