newbie question

Hi-
I've just joined, & this is my 1st post.
I'm a newbie, a raw recruit, a rookie.. and as green as grass.
So please forgive me if my question is a stupid one:-

In any online game such as holdem, where there are a number of players playing against each other at a table, what is to stop a group of say, four or five players, from joining a table and colluding? It would be very easy for the group to keep in touch via, say, MSN Messenger, or even a conference telephone link. Or they could all be playing at the same location!

We covered this a little while ago. This should explain why collusion is not as easy as you may think.

Also users from the same IP address are not allowed to play at the same table.
