Hopefully too many of you haven't lost too much cash.

There's a group of thousand's of people, that play the sit and go's on poker stars, party poker etc.
Well its more then just one group....

(sit and go's are usually a table of 9 people, everyone gets a set amount of chips- play until your chips are gone...top 3 -4 people make cash)

What these people do is: randomally get on tables, then hop on a messanger system- they look up the 3 or 4 people they know on there table. Tell each other there cards, and only the 1 out of 3-4 of them will play the cards....slowly wipe everyone out on there table until its just them left.

This isn't small scale either...its essentially almost EVERY sit and go. A new sit and go starts every 30 seconds....there making millions.

These sites have systems in play to stop cheaters IE same city, playing too many times at the same table.
But the thing is- these people are random...from all over the world. They hardly play at the same tables.
Its not a group of 10 guys rotating- its thousands people that do this full time.

Apparently the table then splits the winnings VIA paypal at the end of the match.


So 4 of then pay $30 each for a sit and go-
1st $120
2nd $81
3rd $54
4th sometimes gets half there buy in back.
4 of them playing costs them $120 to get in.....3 of them make the money, they split $150 profit four ways.

At least 2 of them always make the money, its usually all 3 of them.

This is happening at all money tables...from $5 to $150.
The "newer" guys play the $5 tables to build there "bank roll" then move on to higher stakes...

The biggest group have #'s at the end of there name.

ie:
dustin1123
dustin023
dustin05

The #'s are what they have on messanger. So they can find them fast. your at a table with 364, 03, 63...you type in those #'s and bring them up.

If you are dumb enough to play poker on the internet you are guaranteed to get lots of cheaters.

Hell, if people will cheat at EQ they will definitely cheat at something that directly involves cash.

Go to a casino to play, there is a lot less chance of table signals there.
