For example:
Some friends who are from the same area are corresponding through AIM/other and talk about their hands. One lays down their hand as the other plays their good hand. Since they are in the know of at least 2 hands their possibility of winning is a little higher than others (if they know what they are doing). I have seen people take hundreds to thousands of dollars from oblivious competitors. It's just ridiculous. I've noticed it a lot in Sit N Gos too if they can get in on time. It's really really annoying especially when they are competing against everyone to be in the top 3.

Yeah, that is retarded. Gotta be some way for Stars to do something about it. Originally Posted by yegch

I see your point dude..But if this happened in the past day or so then it maybe was a bug of some sort? Well if not then this is BS that PS has'nt gotten the time to deal with "cheaters"

i've seen blatant chip dumps in SNG tournaments, you'd gain a larger advantage doing that, then playing cash tables IMO.

Lol, I was on the bubble of a MTT, and one guy limps in for 1200, folds round to the BB who goes in for another 70 and the limper folds. That's right another 70 to call in to a pot of 3070 with 1200 already committed. He did pretty much the same the next hand! Originally Posted by haynesey

*Sigh* Can't do much unless they mess up and type the chat in the table chat box instead of the AIM to MSN box
Other than that most of them aren't good enough anyways, so the edge gives them only a smidge of advantage I would think...imho if they were good, they would be playing higher limits..aroudn 5/10NLHE Originally Posted by poker player 100

I'm new to these forums, but old to Pokerstars. In my time on being on stars, they're people who work together in tournaments and things of that nature. But like the guy said before, it only helps to an extent. If you have a good game and know how to play, they'll lose everytime.
When I notice players that are working togther, I simply set them up for a bear trap. Also, if you contact PS, ask them to do a time check and IP trace of the two people in question. If they notice they play alot of the same times and tables together, they'll give you your money back.

There is a lot of collusion going on un-noticed on every site. The reason, imo, why there doesn't seem to be that big a deal made of it is like others have said. these guys are mostly poor, losing players who do this to get some sort of improvement in their fortunes. At best they turn themselves into break even/small profit players and they are still fairly easy to beat and spot.
If you play a table long enough you can spot them, they sit a few seats apart and will quite often do a raise, reraise, fold preflop to generate action. Playing a normal TAG game will improve your win-rate cos you know you can get more action than normal when one of them has any sort of hand.
When you spot them (or think you have), report the fuckers. Continue to play your normal game and rinse them. If you lose a few BI and the site agrees with you you'll get the cash back, happy days
For Free Money, Rakeback and some 6x Ongame bonuses, I recommend PokerSource.
I recommend Cardrunners for superb poker coaching. It was honestly the single biggest improvement in my game signing up there! Sign-up fee might seem steep, but it pays itself back within weeks.
