Much more difficult to do in real life.

Online casinos are in the business to make money, & they won't make money by letting players get away with collusion.

They may not catch you the first, second, or even third time but it's in their best interest to keep the games clean. The simple methods (like Yax posted) are easily detected. Yax is full of sh!t.

I am sooooo sick of hearing about poker. Every fvcking channel on TV seems to have a poker show or celebrety poker. Next will be Survivor:Texas Holdem Poker.

Stop. I see what's really going on with these online poker places. They are getting people hooked,but soon they will start fixing the games and bots and company employees will mysteriously start winning and drain everyone dry.
 
online casinos wont make any money if they allow collusion either. poker players visit forums like this too and decide which is currently the best site to play at. collusion = no good.

Little paranoid?

They're already making sh!tloads of money in rake, there is no incentive for them to cheat anyone.

Playing that many tables pretty much completely takes reading players out of the equation as mentioned earlier. You are simply playing best hands at this point. So what if someone doesn't call you or you don't get any action. It will happen and with that many screens, you don't have to wait long. Take the quick pots, play with a good strategy, and keep your head together and you can make money like this. I've seen it done first hand. But, any slip off your gameplan can start to snowball. If you chase one hand when you shouldn't, that can start the snowball.

You don't necessarily have to read players yourself.

Suffice it to say anybody who's serious about playing online knows more about his opponents than they likely know about themselves.

few people 12 table but its certainly doable especially if its limit.

I like his setup. 3 monitors of tables, 1 monitor with pokertracker + accounts.

as Baboon said, I'm pretty sure I know this guy from another forum as well.

And the posters who are calling this guy stupid have no idea how much money he is raking in.

Are you suggesting top players use "spotters?" I guess some could, but certainly not every one. There's fairly basic strategy in online tournament play. Sticking to it is the hard part. Playing more than 4 or 5 tables simply comes down to calculating odds and playing by a specific gameplan. I have a friend that is regarded as a top 50 online player right now. I've picked his brain several times and watched him play numerous times. He's not a 5-10 table players, though. Playing a few tables is fine and generally what he'll do.

But, there's obviously notes he keeps on some players. Sure, many of them know each other at that level. I'm not saying they are clueless or are playing blind. Not at all. But, very few are any sort of team action. Maybe in the middle ranks, but not for the big dogs.

First of all, if you are playing limit, then reading your opponent is not that useful. if you are playing no limit online, you can still depend on pokertracker to adjust your gameplan according to opponent aggression rating, looseness/tightness.

That's what this goober's trying too, just zoom in for a better view. In at least a couple cases you can see the same cards, chipstacks, etc from different windows matching up. GG trying to keep that strategy over the long term.

I agree. Poker is getting far too much coverage lately. It nothing but a pyramid scheme where people are getting addicted and taken for their life savings. If someone came to your door and conned you out of $1000 you'd sue right? So how is it different if some guy is running 7 other hands at your table and you get taken for $1000? All this will lead is to constant ads for 'Stop Gambling Now!' or "End the Addiction in 12 easy steps!" and the cycle continues. The average person deserves what happens to them because they lack enough reason to learn from the past.
 
Crazy setup!

If he can make money all the more power to him I say!

I'd sure as hell probably couldn't...

As for having multiple people in the same room at party poker they won't allow more people in the same table from the same IP. Me and my bro tried (fun play as no way I'd spend real money on online poker!) and it wouldn't let us login to the same table.

I guarantee he could.

its not that hard. He's playing the cards though... he cant concentrate on each hand its impossible. No bluffing for him, basically straight up playing his hole cards and the board. Cheap way to play in my opinion 😛
 
What's up with the white boxes?

Is it to hide the text on the title bars? If so, I don't see how you could read it anyway.
