Passive collusion is where people tell each other their starting hands. This can be a big advantage in poker games as you can better calculate the odds if you know which cards have already been folded. Passive collusion can be done by two or more players, either using instant messenger or from an office with more than one phone line to hide the computers IP address. Passive collusion is the hardest cheating to detect as there may be no tell-tale signs that immediately stand out.
If you see two players playing together alot and you begin to suspect something, the best thing you can do is to email your poker sites support and let them know your concerns. They will go through the hands played by these players and look for very subtle patterns to identify this type of cheating. |
