Last week I was playing poker for a few hours at my favorite online poker room in a $4.40 Rush tourney, and I made the final table. There were only three of us left and the other two players were from the same country (which will remain nameless so I don’t sound like I am being racist with my rant.) The fact that they were from the same country just made the collusion even more obvious.
Each time one of the players would begin to run out of chips, the other player would dump all of their chips to the first player. This kept both of these clowns in the game for a long time, and it made it almost impossible for me to make any kind of gain. So of course, I finished 3rd.
I’m not here just to “grumble”, but rather to share my experience with other players so you know what to do when facing jerks like this. First of all I emailed the collusion department (at any reputable poker site you can easily find this contact.) I reported what happened and gave the tournament number.
I was updated today that the online site investigated the matter and took action. They found that these two punks were in fact cheating and then promptly took away their winnings and froze their accounts so that they can no longer play.

Good for you The Brain. I am presently playing on a site that is in Beta but supposed to go live in about a month or so. There are many foreigners on this site and most of them are in the top money makers of course. They are constantly speaking their own language and some of it to the naked eye seems to be cheating to many of us. We complained to the site on numerous occasions and it seems to have slowed down some now but will it last. I find that these players too are not real poker players and go 'allin' with nothing or bet with nothing in their hands just to keep those of us who play the game for the game itself from winning any money. Playing with idiots like them takes the shine off the game for sure whether they are doing like in your situation blatantly cheating or just not playing the game... I wonder if there is a site out there that has players who actually play poker anymore. I keep searching....

Remember that this is an international bulletin board so the word "foreigners" has no meaning. In fact, to anyone who lives in Boston, London, Paris, Tel Aviv, or Cape Town, you are a "foreigner". Even worse, you insist on posting in your own language!
