Collusion Online

[ChipFish]

Wouldn't that mean that support would have to put you in the same category
as them? Afteral, you had AIM going too.

[brokeagain]

it pays to stay anonymous

[2Tone]

Is it against the sites' terms of service merely to have AIM or another IM client running? Even if there is no evidence of collusion?

[GeoffM]

LMFAO.

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

[ChipFish]

Bingo!

[Frontin]

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

[johnbaker]

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

[BlibbityBlabbity]

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.
