Friends colluding
Two poker buddies of mine, not really close friends, but we've had some good times together. They play mid to high stakes on one of the smaller sites and occassionally play at the same table. Ususally they just play against each other, but once in a while they purposefully cheat through collusion. One of them bragged to me recently about the last such incident, in which they took a fairly large sum off of some poor kid because he outdrew one of them. They made bets on how long it would take to get all his money. It's not the first time they've done it, and probably not the last.
I'm just curious as to what the general feeling of the poker community is on this subject. Do people have friends who do this? Are there people on here who do this frequently? Do you fraternize with cheaters? Although I know it's none of my business, the knowledge offends me. You wouldn't be far off in describing me as a straight arrow kind of guy, but just as a poker player, the idea of people out there cheating and basically stealing money from those of us who play for fun or for a living just pisses me off to an incredible degree. I'm not sure what to do, if anything. Any comments appreciated. -Phoenix

Re: Friends colluding
Given that they're merely poker buddies and not actual friends of yours, shop them in to the site. Cheaters are assholes, and getting caught and having funds confiscated or whatever might teach them some sort of lesson.
They might have done this to you too, or do it some point in the future.

Re: Friends colluding

Re: Friends colluding
It's worse when you see people in the dorms doing it. I walked by 4.. yes 4 of them colluding on a .5/1 limit table on party. I told them it would be more profitable to just learn how to play poker and they were like "Dude we're up like $30."
So.. I taught them a lesson the hard way. I sat down on a couch in the same room as them on the same table. Took about 150$ from them. They were like "That OodlesofPoop guy is so good. He's amazing." I used the money to buy beer for my hallway that weekend. My suggestion is to pretend to be helping them but then screw them over. Teach them the hard way.
