How cheaters know other players' cards!
One of the oldest tricks of online gambling is to be able to see other player's cards. Of course, it's impossible to know everyone's cards, BUT if a player has a friend at the table, they can easily share what cards they have by Instant Messaging or telephone. This information gives those players an big edge against you and other players. The players can bet and raise people out of pots, even if they don't have good cards.
For example, if one player is sitting two seats before the button and their friend is sitting on the button and no one has called in front of the first player, he can raise two bets and his partner can raise three bets before the flop. 90% of the time, no one will call and they will steal the blinds.
If the colluding players are sitting across the table from each other, they can help each other trap others in the hand when either player hits a strong hand. For example, say one player flop the nuts. That player is in early position, so they bet. If there are callers, the partner can raise the pot after they call. The player can either smooth call or re-raise to increase the pot. In order to trap players, the player needs to have other players between him and his partner. In a short-handed table, collusion is even more likely to occur because the advantages are greater.
Rest assured that every major poker site has both automated and human reviewed screening to uphold the integrity of their card room. Please note that PokerLetter does not condone actual cheating in poker and if you get caught, you will forfeit all of your money in your account. The only reason I teach you this is to bring up my next point.
* How to spot cheaters and avoid cheating tables
------------------------------------------------
With over 50,000 players at the larger poker sites, there are bound to be friends that are cheating and it is almost impossible for the poker sites to police. So you have to be a smart player and look out for yourself. Fortunately, all cheaters are out to make an easy buck so it's not too difficult to spot them. As you learned above, if you ever notice two players that play hands often together, you should take notice and report them to the casino. High stakes limit (10/20 and up) and high stakes no limit ($400 and up) are much more likely to have cheaters, so if you play these stakes, then you should be extra careful. I would especially avoid high stakes no limit tables online.
* How to make easy money from deposit bonuses
---------------------------------------------
Poker sites usually offer deposit bonuses of 20-25% about once per month. This means if you deposit $100, you get an extra $20-$25 for free as long as you see the required number of hands. The number of required hands is usually 6-7 times the deposit bonus amount. For example, to earn a deposit bonus of $20, you must see between 120-140 hands. The EASIEST way to make money is to deposit the maximum amount for the maximum deposit bonus AND play the 1/ 2 limit tables very tight. For example, if the maximum deposit bonus of 20% is $100, then you should deposit $500.
Then you have to see 700 hands at the 1/ 2 limit tables in order to earn the $100 bonus. As long as you play very tight, you can come out even on the tables and still make $100! Many different poker sites offer this monthly deposit bonus, which means you can do it every month for every site and make more than $500 per month without much risk. Pacific Poker is the ONLY site that offers an instant bonus of 25% up to $100 for new players. This means that as soon as you deposit $400 in a new player account, you get $100 added to your account without playing a single hand!
