Long time reader first few times posting, and yes if you dont play at the biggest sites you are asking for trouble. If i tell you my Konka LCD TV broke down you wouldnt be surprised, just like im not surprised the people at 'Daves Poker Room' didnt get paid.
Ft and stars rarely have deals or offers that match their competitors until you have grinded away for a long time, but in return you get consistency and reliability so really you are paying for the brand. Now if your Konka TV breaks down while i paid 3x more for a Sony i have trouble feeling sorry for you. Plus lets be honest, 90% were fish who ran away and the rest grinders who wanted to try out the site / get the free bonuses, risk they took and probably didnt get hit too hard by since they already play on reputable sites mostly.
Even the whole superuser scandal didnt surprise me, i myself scrolled through Absolutes poker site and a bunch of others when i was first deciding where to deposit and thought 'no way would I trust these guys'. It sucks that these things happen, just saying its not that surprising.

I dont really agree with you, I put my first deposit in about 3 years ago and even with no knowledge of the online poker world and a terrible game i decided i was going to invest my money in a site i felt i could trust, 'Daves Poker Room' obviously did not fit this criteria.
As i said to the other guy, when your cheap TV breaks down the money you saved comes back to haunt you and will probably end up costing you more. So with 90% on the run fish and 10% grinders looking for bonus's its hard to feel sorry for them, even though i have a 'bonus chasing' account at Titan (and would be pissed if they cheated me), I would compare it to a cheap appliance breaking down and learn my lesson for next time.
