How do you all feel about a site where you have to be present at the webcam in order to play in games?

This way it's like playing in a "live" game but online instead?

I think the game online needs to be more personal and it would be less of an autopilot type of thing and more actual skill imo where you could still be on multiple tables and u can see everyone u r playing they can see you and you know everyone's legit and not colluding etc.

Like the live blackjack games some sites run?

Or more specifically the live streaming naked dealer poker Pornhub is launching?

As for colluding, I think there's probably colluding live as well.

like this idea too so we were closer to reality , in my case it never played face to face as a good training to get into the real game

I heard that on the РS already have such tournaments. On the one hand it is interesting .With friends play video chat would be generally healthy. Personally, I do not quite like the idea. My game will hamper observation of other players behind me

There was a site a few years back that did this. Perhaps they still do, I don't know. It didn't appear to really catch on. Most images were poor quality and grainy. Often players had their cameras pointed away from them, or they played some other kind of video instead of a webcam shot of themselves.

As far as colluding goes - why do you think that is happening now? In any event, I believe the best way to combat that is to have a poker site that cares about its reputation, is in the business for the long term, and is big enough to be able to run a comprehensive ant-cheating program.
