I play a great deal of online Poker 50+ hours a week and collusion is always a concern. I was playing in a SNG where 2 players from Tucson where at the table, and they were both taking a great deal of time on every action and it really made me wonder. They never seemed to get into pots with each other and wouldnt challenge each others blinds even though they sat next to each other. I was really starting to wonder as were a couple of the other players. 2 players from the same place, both taking a great deal of time on EVERY action. When a couple of players mentioned they smelled something, one of the players freaked out and was totally irrational about it. So me and a couple of the players decided to email PokerStars with my concern. They got back to me within 2-3 minutes and told me they will look into it. I thought yep they wont do anything as I have heard from so many other poker sites. I found an email today that they sent a little while after, and actually gave me several hand historys that they analyzed and actually gave me proof of what was happening instead of an excuse or brushing me off. I really liked how they handled the whole thing, and I have even more respect and confidence in PokerStars.

So this post is for all of you who worry about the honesty of Poker sites and the internet in general, let this help calm that nerve, I know it has helped assure me.
