    Question Computer Poker Collusion

    Serious Question, In your opinion how much player collusion by internet poker players do you think there is, in online poker rooms?
    I was asked this in email survey from a British Govenment Body???
    WHY ask me I think, I thought it was a spoof email, untill I saw "gov.co.uk" in the return address.
    So what does every one think, I am going to say around 30%
    by the way has any other Brits had this email survey?

    Default I wouldnt reply to links in unknown emails

    hi

    email security

    I wouldnt ever use the links in an email from an unknown source - I'm not techie but I know its pretty easy for these sorts of people to make emails look like they come from somewhere they didnt and also make return links look right but go somewhere completely different

    so I would buy surveys and things like that in with all fishing "bank" emails everyone should know about

    if you havent subscribed to something to do with gov then its highly unlikely to be legit

    if your not sure - re google the main site info eg the uk gov and see what you find then use the links within that legit site ... not "links to it" in an unknown email


    colusion in poker games

    on this front I would say in the early days alot of people thought they could play clver by colluding in SNG's being the obvious thing and cash games ... but in reality they are generally poor players thinking they are gaining an edge

    they are not good players and any edge by colluding becomes pretty marginal ... there is little point in 5 players colluding in a 10 seat SNG with only 3 paying out etc

    they're are a few angles (I've heard some less than savvy people try) that could be used on certain special tournaments with accumulator type bonuses for winning several on the bounce ... but again these are players who are not good and trying to cheat the poker room (not really players) ... this gets caught onto pretty quick by the poker rooms and it's really really obvious

    poker rooms are not daft

    cheers scrawnybob

    You are probably right scrawnybob,The weird thing is I have been in email contact with thease people about work ( nothing to do with poker) and I am in the Commodities Trade, I needed to ask them if I could import some thing with out a special licence.
    Anyway think its best I forget it.
    Funny question for the DTI to ask tho, in My opinion.

    I think a lot of it goes on, but as ScrawnyBob points out, most of it is by below average players. I have seen a lot of deals where two guys sit down at the same table in a cash game, they sit away from each other if possible, then raise raise raise. Anyone between them gets trapped. You call then get raised twice before it comes back to you. If you have a decent/marginal hand you will fold and they take the blinds and a call or two. If you call they usually raise raise raise the flop then the weaker of the two drops out after the turn if one of them has hit. You play tight and you win twice as fast because there are two morons raising into the set that you flopped.
