FTP Collusion FAQs

I may be paranoid. Actually i am paranoid.
So whenever I sit down to play on full tilt i tend to assume that people are colluding. Perhaps no one is and the table is legit but often at the lower levels when people collude they do it badly. I don't even bother reporting it anymore if i suspect it, I just try to use the knowledge to my advantage.

Umm, you should not play if you actually think the others at the table are colluding against you. it is highly doubtful that it is +EV for the others at the table to be sharing hole cards--at least for you.

This is of course a valid point. But if people are colluding in such a manner that you can detect or suspect it, then they are exploitable in some ways. If people are card sharing or actively colluding against you and you have no idea then you could be in big trouble.
I learned some time ago, that if I can't seem to beat a particular table it's best to quit or find another table period. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
