There are other ways for people collaborating to cheat at a poker table. You can see-saw an opponent, raising and re-raising them postflop almost every hand, regardless of what you hold--which means that if they're even medium-tight they have to fold 90% of the time. There are other tricks too, but I'm not really an expert--as I'm sure one poster will be quick to point out.

Even controlling IP addresses wouldn't eliminate this in the age of the cell phone, I don't imagine.
