Hi all,

I am new and would like to ask something about the online
poker sites. I was thinking that people could "cheat" by
getting a few friends to play on the same poker table in
the same poker website and tell
each other what they have (talked over the phone or use
IM). I registered to a few online poker site and see if they
have a mechanism to prevent such abuse. But I do not see
such a mechanism, or at least it's not obvious to me.
Do you guys know if any of the online poker site can prevent
the kind of cheating?

thanks in advance.

this kind of cheating is not profitable enough to make it worth doing.

if someone suspects you guys of this and report to pokersite, they examine all handhistories that contain u/friend, and it doesn't take much intellgence to see if you guys colluded or not
