	Cheating in poker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cheating can be done many ways, including collusion, sleight-of-hand such as bottom dealing or stacking the deck, or the use of physical objects such as marked cards or holdout devices.
		However, online poker cardrooms keep records of every hand played, and collusion can often be detected by finding any of several detectable patterns (such as folding good hands to a small bet as it is known that another player has a better hand).
		In a poker tournament, when one player is all in and two other players are active in the pot, it is common for the two players with chips left to "check it down".

		Other players at the table may suspect collusion because of the check, when all you were trying to do is to not take your friends chips.
		I know for a fact that Poker Stars is on top of the issue of collusion in online poker and takes action when it is reported.

	Poker Collusion

	Poker Cheating - Poker Collusion Techniques
		When players work together in a manner that deliberately manipulates a poker game, the term used to describe their action is called collusion.
		The key to collusion is the ability to repeat these signals so unobtrusively that others at the table do not even realize the players are communicating.
		Some poker folks insist that if you are involved in a poker game where you detect that your opponents are cheating, but find that they are not very good at the process, instead of calling them on the matter you may instead just use this information to your benefit.

		Prior to the 1970s, Poker was not found at many casinos because of the difficulty of keeping out cheaters.
		When players share information about their hands in efforts to help each other to win, or to force other players to place more money in the pot, they are ruining the Poker experience for all involved.
