Default None of us want to believe it but...

The proof is in these videos, you can be cheated on-line. What do you think about this? What could be done?

These videos confuse me.

Is this guy trying to say that it's too easy to crush play money tables through collusion?

Is he trying to say that playing 2 hands on a table is a powerful enough advantage to make up for the fact that you're still playing like a chump?

I think he's just showing how it's possible (and relatively easy) for one person to have 2 accounts and play at the exact same table.

It's something to be on the lookout for, for sure. If you ever see two guys going crazy with the raises and then folding before the showdown (after all the other players are out of the pot), it's time to find a new room. And report them to support too, if you think they were cheating. They will look into it.

Default Reality

1) Unless you're playing higher than 15/30, you have very little concern.
2) Most sites' automated collusion dection can easily identify collusion patterns, so what's shown in these videos is no more effective than 2 friends colluding from remote locations using IM technology. They will be caught and will have their bankrolls seized.
3) Most cheaters are bad players who barely beat the game when cheating. They are easy to identify at the table before you lose too much. (the exception are the very good cheats, but they don't play as low as 15/30.

To sum it up: non-issue.
