Cheating At Poker Online Page 2

Even if somehow people are able to pull it off, those players that need the extra advantage are often lousy players anyway and end losing a lot of money fast.  It’s just not worth the hassle at low-mid levels in order to grind out an extra buck here or there.  People that do collude would tend to target high stakes games, and again, their advantage is dubious at best.  These guys will get caught, and often they’ll just lose their money anyway as the advantage they gain is small.  You’d need to be a pro to really use the edge gained from collusion, and pros don’t need to bother with cheating. 

I love playing online because you play far more hands per hour, and you don’t have a smelly drunk guy sitting next to you.  You also don’t have to tip.  I honestly think that the amount of money you’d lose over a lifetime of playing online poker to collusion is much less than that you’d pay in tips in live games.  So don’t worry about it.  If you suspect someone of collusion, just move to another table.

The final concern that people ask me about is hacking.  They’re afraid someone will hack into their account and steal their money.  Hacking the servers of online poker sites is not going to happen.  The encryption that sites use now is almost bullet proof.  It would be like trying to hack into Wells Fargo Banking, it's not gonna happen.  A valid concern that I will mention is that YOU could get hacked.  Your own personal computer.  If you’re not using a good firewall with an updated anti-virus program, then you’re at risk for all kinds of nasty stuff.  The worst of which could be a key logger that could record everything you type on your computer, including Party Poker account passwords!  Although you don’t have to worry about online poker sites being insecure, you very much need to worry about the security of your personal computer.  You don’t have to spend alot of money to be safe.  If you’re new to computer security, then Zone Alarm is a straightforward, easy to use program.  I highly recommend it.  And the price is right!  You can get it for free here www.zonelabs.com.  AVG Free is a free anti-virus program that is updated frequently.  You can get it here www.free.grisoft.com/doc/1.

The bottom line is that if you keep your own computer secure and play only at the top poker sites that have positive reviews, then cheating online is really a non-issue.  There is no shortcut to winning at online poker.  All the advertisements you see out there for guides on "advanced cheating at Party Poker," or "high tech cheating at poker," or even for an "x-ray poker tool,"  are nonsense.  Take a look at our online poker room reviews to find quality poker sites that we trust and play at.
