Infact my mate even asked me the other day.
I've taught him and another guy on my corridor how to play in the last 2 months, and they're making small amounts of money online.
I saw him in the corridor, and he asked why we don't go to a table, and both go all in preflop first hand, to hand one of us double the starting chips and a massive advantage.
He got a bollocking of course (for a start it's a crap way to collude
) but if virtual newbie players are thinking of ways to colluding there must be people with years of experience online who have virtual failsafe plans to fleece online players.
They're likely small in number, granted, and obviously poker sites are constantly updating security measures. But then scammers are always updating their scams.
