well,not stereotyping but the russians do it a lot..but i have come across others as well, now i believe most of them aren't colluding ...it just boils down to a language barrier.

If it really goes on your nerves or anything,just send an email to support of the poker site and they'll look into it/give them a chatban. However,they're usually not teamplaying,if they were they surely wouldnt be that stupid to communicate over the poker site and would do it rather over MSN/Skype

I agree, all poker chat should only be played in english. I'm also frustated when russians players talk in their language. Since they talk in their language they could easily talk about what cards they have and other players not eve to realise lol Thats one of the reasons that i never play on these kind of tables, it's better to avoid them from beginning. Even if you can't understand their language you can quickly see if those players communicate in order to cheat. I also tend to agree that as said above many don't collude, they just make small talk, i actually saw a lot of us players that did small talk and never said nothing about the cards they were playing. I also saw some germans talking but again nothing about the game.

The rule on most pokersites is truly that English is the language that must be used for chatting, but in reality the players don't apply this rule if they are chatting while playing a tourney.
