Players who have teamed up can gain a small edge by sitting down
at the same table and give each other information about their
respective hands. This type of cheating is rare and does not
have any significant effect in your wins or losses when you are
playing at a full table. The fact is that many players who cheat
in this fashion probably lose more or win less than they would
have had they just focused on their own game. More dangerous are
players who are co-operating to escalate pots in which one of
the players has a good hand, typically by raising each other to
" boat in" the victim. However, this type of cheating is very
easy for the poker room to detect with both automatic and manual
reviews. This is another time when checking hand histories can
be helpful for you as a player. Players who uses two
computers and two different identities while still playing at
one table, is another related type of cheating, which is also
easy technically to detect for the poker room. The all-in
protection abuse cannot be abused for a long period of time
before the poker room will take action. However, it
unfortunately is impossible to completely protect users from
this cheat as long as the protection is available for players.
This is by far the most common form of cheating you will ever
face. The risk that someone would be able to hack into
your computer while you are playing are extremely unlikely. If
you still worry about someone hacking into your computer while
playing you should install a firewall. Most ISPs provide
firewalls as part of their standard offering.
