Collusion, bots, faulty algorithms online: I think answer is MTT's.

You are dealt pocket tens on the button. Your accomplice is UTG, who folds, sending you an IM indicating which cards they folded, one of which was a ten, and you're facing a raise from the CO. Naturally, based upon the information you received, you fold.

But seriously, the answer to the question "how does collusion improve winrates" is pretty simple - "two heads are better than one".

I mean, does that not illustrate how collusion, from one perspective, takes money away from players who are not in on the collusion?

No, because any game in which valuable hidden information is key to winning (and which applies to each game of HORSE) can be subject to collusive online play.

So I'm TAG. What can I say. LOL

Playing TT in a raised pot when you know a ten has been mucked is not very smart, regardless of the general stats. Raising with TT when you are acting alone IS.

Even so, I'm not talking about pocket tens - just trying to make a point.

i just think the average low limit online player has gotten better mostly because its a little bit harder to deposit,etc and this discourages the casual player.

i think at casinos you find more casual players just playing for fun not working real hard on improving.

its not shuffle randomizers or collusion that is the problem.

if you want to win consistant monies i dont think MTTs are the way to go. unless you want to put in 13 hrs. a day to try to deal with the variance.

i think heads up is good if you are that concerned about collousion
