Collusion is the easiest form of online cheating — and catching a player doing this is well nigh impossible. At least two players collude and work together in secret, at the same table. Skills are not really needed to do this.

Sometimes one player distracts the others at the table. Online, of course, two players in collusion can easily let one another know what cards they have, making it easier to guess what the other players are holding.

Cheaters will also bet back and forth with one another, to either goad other players into betting more or into folding, thereby either allowing the cheaters to get the pot, or merely making the pot larger.
