Poker Cheating Survery

[KASEACEdotCOM]

Online poker is rigged by a few select players, many of whom frequent these forums. I can prove this by my hand histories, too many times have my big hands like A5 suited and 10 J off come up against AA against these players. This stuff just does not happen in real poker games.

Honestly this is true. Why do you think the same old players win most of the time? I think they are in collusion with the big poker sites.

Epic reply. I know your kidding...but still VERY good....

A couple times a year I get a small 'bonus' from FTP or Stars that comes from people who have been busted doing this. I think it probably only happens at the lower levels because it is never very much.

live games more reknowned for being stacked full of players working from the same bankroll. I have read so many articles especially in regards to the PLO games which are tabled stacked.

If it's happening live it's happening online. Just have to pay attention to the players on the tables and it'll stand out like dogs balls.

I'm here.

I know that PokerStars provides compensation for collusion - both with the money confiscated from players, and makes substantial additional contributions on top of that.

Well, in poker, imo, most 'cheating' is from people who don't realise the consequences of their actions, or that there is a moral dimension to what happens online.

This would explain why I can't seem to win on my multi-accounts

This is a good point. Ok, story time...

When I was grinding freerolls and trying to win money at SNGs I made friends with this guy, neither of us knew anything but we would discuss hands etc. on MSN. One day we happened to be in the same SNG and he told me to fold, telling me what he had. Very innocent. Later he asked me what I had during a hand and I told him. I felt obligated, and it didn't feel like I was hurting anyone but myself. This became regular over the next couple of days, he would ask, I felt like I had to tell. Then one day he told me to fold during a hand with another player. He had several people on MSN and he knew what they all had... It wasn't until that point that I realised it was cheating in every sense of the word. Obviously I haven't done it since and we are no longer friends.

I have a small amount of tolerance for friends who implictly or explictly collude when they first start playing poker. It isn't immediately obvious that it is cheating. I have no tolerance for people who would do this after realising that it is wrong (except implicit live - if your folly is on display you are not hiding anything). And props to people who never did it I guess you are smarter than I was.
