Seeing this site made me raise an eyebrow. What do you guys think about this?

You can't be that smart saying that. If you were being sarcastic I apologize.

eMachines have a terrible performance and service record.

I don't know whether to even take this article seriously or not. 8 computers in a room isn't anything new, nor is collusion in poker. If they were actually decent players that were colluding, I would probably leave the room in short order anyway. I would also hope that the poker sites would notice if the same 7-9 people were repeatedly entering the same public room.

Sit-n-Go's might be a problem - can't just get up and leave. Again, I would think this could be caught over time.

You can get shell accounts for $5 a month that would support bouncing a connection. That's $100/month + the cost of a cable modem hookup for 20 unique IP connections.

Umm... duh?

The point is that they can still catch collusion regardless of IP address. Yes, they can.

Default Surf around the site . . .

Massive collusion network apparently. Wonder what games they hit. And whether it really works. I can certainly see it working in the AA vs KK instance, but . . .

As an obvious side note, this Russ guy seems like quite the ass.

Here at school a guy was telling me about two guys that collude on party sng's. I said to tell the guys that if they ever meet me, they're getting a beat down. That's how I deal with online cheaters.
