i stayed on to watch the game to see if they were still doing it...
they kept on doing it and are still doing it as i type this post...
i even got a screenshot...
my question is, should I report this?
will i get Poker.com's attention given that this was a freeroll and not a cash game nor a tourney with a buy-in?
Do they even allow people to speak a different language on the tables??
I hate when I sit at a table and they do this... Also I am so glad to see PS did a great job on the investigation and thieir prompt ... | | Read Entire Entry |

If you think your hand is good, and you see people just out of random start raising and re-raising maybe make the call.

Pro teams are running rampart at big games and will have there way with you.

By the way welcome to the forum...use the search feature and type in "collusion" to see other peoples thoughts on this subject.
It would be worth contacting support though, just in case,...if these guys play at the same table often, they'll get nailed.
I stand corrected!
Congrats. Nice to hear that there can be justice in cyberland.

Nice to see a nice result out of the whole situation...I have kinda of been part of a collusion case as well on Poker Stars they are ery tight about the whole situation. Its really nice to see in your situation you got your money back as well as they will not be able to play on Poker Stars again...they will prob move on to FT now to start it again

Just got back from work and checked my account, and guess what? not only did I get my $600 back, but I also got the $1647 pot!! They emailed me back saying the players accounts have been froze permanently and your money along with the orignal pot have been credited to your account.
I knew something was fishy, but it kind of makes me wonder if people do this all the time and get away with it. If I wouldn't have contacted pokerstars they probably would have gotten away with it scot free. I'm not so sure if online poker is really that safe. Bastards who do this kind of shit should really be shot

So i'm playing on pokerstars with a buyin of $1500 on $50/$100 limit. All went well for the first 10 minutes as I made around $150. I left and went to another table which was empty waiting for a person to play with. a few minutes later a person sits down with the same amount as me $1500 I took $500 off of him by hitting a lucky queen on the river and he mucked aces. He pauses for a second and says "stop playing like a f.uckin donkey you retard". I told him "that's poker loser, so stop whining". He then sits out for about 10 seconds AND ANOTHER PLAYER COMES IN with $1500. As the games about to start i'm in the BB with Ac 9s and the new player raises, while the other calls, and I call also.
On the flop came As Js 8c I check, then the new player checks, then the last one bets. I then call and the new player raises, the other calls and I call. The turn card comes (4d) and I check. and the same thing again. The last player bets, i call, then the new player RAISES, then the other ... | | Read Entire Entry |
