Collusion at PokerStars??

[green_ruckus]

There are moments when I have suspected collusion in micro limits at pokerstars. Sometimes a group of three or four will sit at the table simultaneously and raising pots to the max and then only will stay for showdown. I then wrote the word collusion and immediately some left and then a lot of the action stopped.

How can I be sure of collusion and what can I do?

Unfortunately, I actually did stop and only play tourneys now. But George, it's kinda crazy to hear you support that kinda situation should it be real...Afterall how would Greece or any country be without help?

Yea just ask them if they are cheating if anything weird and usually they get up and leave and hopefully get banned down the road.

Sometimes it's people waiting for fish, but I've been against obvious teamers too.

I'd never make any money if I didn't play cash games.

I had this happen to me, and I copied the hand history and turned them in. Pokerstars caught the chinese don colluding ring and compensated me for the effected games.

I've seen something similar, except they were all shoving with any two. It wasn't collusion - it was just bad ass gambling. I assume they were all drunk/high but maybe they were just high on adrenaline? You will find these sorts of tables - the gamblers seem to know where they are, or maybe they have an agreement to meet at a certain table and time? They're not cheating (IMO), they're just playing a unique form of poker bingo. But, other folks may think that's cheating.

That’s great! Thanks for the helpful tip. I’ll be sure to do this next time I play cash!!
