crooked players at sitngo

i heard players at sitngos are sometimes using 2 or more computers or are on phone with buddies so be carefull at multi tables they dont sit together so more fair play

There's always been rumors about online poker, and they'll never go away, it seems. It seems likely that there will be some small scale collusion going on from time to time, but the casinos have a lot of checks and balances to catch the more obvious cases.

If it was a huge problems, much fewer people would be able to make a profit at the tables, so I'm not too concerned.

Most pokerrooms use a system that tracks collusion. If two people play together 90 procent of the time on the low stakes tables the system will give a sign.

Most of the big sites won't let two players logging on from the same IP address sit at the same table. Sure, they can use IP masks and other tricky techniques, but the big sites are pretty vigilant at looking for unusual betting/calling/folding patterns (remember, they can see everybody's cards .

A couple of times, I have received e-mails from Stars saying they have credited my account with $x because I was the (unknowing) victim of collusion. Now that's service!

It's easily to have two players that cooperate together and have different IP Address in same table.
ex. they are playing at different place but they are using skype or ventrilo chatting during play to help each other.
I'm not sure about this too

Yes, but as soon as the betting pattern becomes suspicious (eg. one has AA, the other KK and the guy with KK folds preflop) then the poker site will investigate for sure.

Any1 else disagree with lifting his ban?

I have seen one painfully obvious example of this at ... dare I say it? ... a play money razz table on Stars. There were 2 players like Huffawin11 and Huffawin22. Almost comical. I contacted a moderator and they made a note on the guys account. No action since it was not real money. That was a while ago and I have not seen anything quite like it since.

No way! Let Zeejustin play! Despite him being a crushing player. Money is money however it is made. Just because these guys took advantage of a situation doesn't mean they should be punished for it...Obv they served their time but really it was the sites fault for not seeing it coming (pretty obv).

Poker players are supposed to take every edge they can find and if they found a loop hole, so be it. Whats so different from what they did and our justice/legal system?

Even though the hole has been plugged there are still ways to multi account, its just harder now. There is a pretty known P5'er (not ranked) who is a beyond crushing player and he has been caught numerous times for milti accounting. He is banned from all sites I believe but still is able to play do to this hole.

The real discussion is why are the poker sites not getting off their lazy asses and fixing these gateways. Live casinos go to great length to make sure cheating isnt allowed. But yet OL poker sites cant get passed a proxy with an off shore account?
