An online poker bot farm where dozens of synced laptops collude at the same table against real players

Everyone here fails to realize collusion happens on real tables as well. Go to a casino; or a poker hall and land in a table of regulars and they will absolutely collude to bully you out (especially if you start winning. )

I have only played in two real world poker tournaments, got second in one and won the other, and both times I had one particular guy incredibly mad at me for reading him like a book. The one I got second the guy was trying to "meet me in the parkinglot" and I am 3ft tall and use a wheelchair. The one I won the guy and his friend were doing a really poor job of colluding and I called it out too and got asked by the pit boss to chill out about it which pissed me off even more, aren't you supposed to kick those guys out? I haven't played in public since, it didn't feel safe.

Yep bad vibes, and physical intimidation is another collusion tactic. I basically bowed out of a late night casino tournament because the situation was starting to look dangerous.
