Not sure if this really happens, but have heard it from a friend of mine that he had been approached to get in on a scheme like this from a couple other players at one site he always played at. They told him they had done it all the time. (can't remember the site, thought it had 'tiger' in the name though  )
Are there any sites out there that you can't control who sits at the tables? That would prevent something like this from happening probably. |
I can see it happen, it most likely happens at the cash tables, because you can make a lot of money fast and lose it fast as well. If you play in the cash tournaments I can't see it happening. I stick to those as much as I can, in tournaments players get seated, you can't pick your seats.
