Collusion Online

LMFAO.

I think watching the hand history and such for any odd-ball behaviour is the best way to go.

Bingo!

Do those algorithms that Party and other sites claim to use really detect collusion??

probably not, unless you have a bunch of computers set up in one room using the same internet line at the same table.

I see how AOL (or other IM programs) CAN be used to collude. But, if a poker site actually is saying you can't use the two at the same time, that is just wrong. You could just as well call someone up on a phone and have the same conversation as on IM.

Thats kind of ridiculous really. So if I play poker and simultaneously chat with a buddy (who of course isnt in the game) over AIM, Im colluding?

Id even say theres nothing wrong with chatting with people AT your table, of course not giving away any unfair information, like, hmm, your hole cards.

im not sure that i would be that worried about this. it was mentioned earlier, but i doubt that anyone playing low limits would be good enough at colluding to actually get maximum value out of you.

there is a lot of fishy play online, but i would attribute most of it to incompetence, not collusion.
