You do realize it would take more effort to collude effectively that to just win normally, right? Even so, I call BS on this story. I am willing to bet MONEY the original poster is making this up. I see so many posts on colluding like it's the worst thing in the world, but what most people fail to realize is that for the average person, the edge gained by collusion is extremely small. Afterall, when you are behind a dominating hand you are losing twice as fast, if not more in your attempts to push him off which is really the only thing colluding would be good for.

Dude, pretty much all of us do this. Seriously. This is commonplace. Not a big deal at all.

its possible. however if hes as bad as you say i wouldnt worry even if he was controlling all of the other players at the table. i also dont know which site has 8 max tables. all ive seen are 10 and 6 and heads up.

at the lower limits its not worth colluders time. the higher staked games are where they would play and any decent player at that limit would catch onto what they were doing very quickly unless they were very suble about it.

i played in a 5/10 6 max game the other night where i felt that 3 of the players were colluding. i cought onto very easily and im no pro. i just reported my suspicion and the hands in question and moved to another table. that was the first time in 3 years online that i suspected collusion. so its not common. the funny thing is i left the table with a nice profit because i flopped quads and they tried to trap me with raises when one of them flopped a full house..lol. the other 2 folded on the river like they had done a couple times earlier. i looked back at the hand history and they had nothing.

This is probably already been said, but...

Will he be prosecuted? Probably not.

Should he be taken out back and hanged? Most definitely yes.
