i though you really have a mole, in your back yard or sth... now since we are talking about 2 dudes who are working together in the freeroll, you have to understand that some people are basically starving and playing tag team in the freerolls might be their only hope of buying themselves a loaf of bread...
I bet that Mole would go great if it's grilled then just eat it along with some bread Pick a Nice Sauce some salad maybe a potatoe also Moles are blind so they should be easy to catch if you encounter a Mole at the pokertable there's plastic thingys which emit a sound scaring them off i think you can get them in a gardening store

How weird feeling could be teaming up for a dollar or two for hours without actually working in a sweatshop for Nike in Mid-Asia? Mind - blown.
Who is the mole? Is it Pochui? Or is the mole on Pochui's face.....?
Of course collusion is still a problem on online poker especially with the VPNs now it's easy to use a IP that's not yours to make sure you don't get caught. Some people don't have respect and will cheat even with no money involved (online shooters for exemple). Just dumb trolls!

What the original poster is referring to here is unclear. Is he claiming that there were a couple of fraudulent players in the tournament? What exactly were they doing? I have a zero tolerance policy against such individuals. Yeah, let's bring them down together!
Pretty hard to prove depending on what they were doing could be that they were simply talking on the phone or via some app telling each other their holdings which no question is disgusting no matter how much money is at stake but how exactly can you prove that that's the case

It might take substantial time and effort to gather or retrieve sufficient evidence to demonstrate convincingly that these alleged players' actions constitute a violation of the site's terms of service. You need to ask yourself: Is it worth it?
An interesting assumption ... I talked with one of my friends about the possibility to play online in a particular room and at this time communicate with each other for the purpose of winning .... but this was just talk ... to the reality it did not reach

Winning what? Maybe on cash tables and single table sngs, but those will just make you banned anyway.

G'day mates
Hmm.... well i find it hard to believe two people would bother in a freeroll to collude. I could see it at the cash tables our small cash tournaments but in a freeroll? There is simply not enough incentive to bother with the hassle involved in the act. the statement that we all need to work together to bring them down was a joke right. Hope thing go better for you tomorrow. be cool

Interesting thread! Maybe, (and this is just an out of nowhere random thought and maybe have some dvilment hidden inside it) if you have concerns about these two players then you should name and shame them..... or at least invite them to comment in the forum, as they are BRM members on their behaviour?

Can you prove in a very direct and objective way that they were playing together? This is called "colusion" in poker and is not allowed, including being banned in the various poker sites around the world. If you can prove it, then denounce them.

Not all rooms do what they are supposed to do, when you report a case of collusion.
I remember in the past playing in an ipoker skin sng's where two players, clearly colluding over and over by saying their cards to each other in their language. Like it was hard to use a translator and see what they were talking about. After two reports, where i got no response, and two weeks later with both of them, keep sitting at the same tables, over and over, i just stopped playing there.

Game in the game cache ... I certainly understand that this is prohibited but it's probably difficult to track it ... for example we play at the same table and simultaneously talk on the phone and tell each other our cards ... can this be caught?
