Auto report...

I always ask them to speak English only as per rules first so my complaint is recorded in chat.

Now if you happen to speak that language it's easy to take advantage of their attempted collusion, as long as you never ever speak their language in chat and only chat in English. Acting alone by reacting to their collusion (thinking you do not speak thier language) is not collusion, it's simply taking advantage of their foolishiness. Still, for honesty's sake it should be reported.

(ok...so I've nailed some frenchmen a time or two at various sites, lol)

i have always found this a very interesting topic... i always think when other players speak a language other than english.... i wish i knew what they were saying! however i always feel that im missing owt and that they are colluding.. i guess its just human nature to think that

I feel tho that they probably just talking garbage just like i do when im playing but obviouslyin a language i understand and that is allowed

linguist i wish i was hehe

if they were gonna go out of their way to cheat then surely theyd use a client like msn or skype so pokerstars cant get a log as evidence

i believe that is the serbian language that they are speaking. I do not think that they were "colluding", but probably just a bunch of friends playing together. But if you really think they were then report it.

I'm not sure it is cheating, but it might be a violation to chat in any language other than ENglish. A lot of tables notify players when they take a seat, that it is "English only". If this is an English only table, they are in violation whether they are colluding or not!

it's quite clear that there are so many easier ways to cheat by using other communication programs (just think about messenger) that i would not think they would be stupid enough to use the platform chat to exchange such messages !

Was it the same Frenchman ? :eek:
So you understand French eh ? Are you from Canada by any chance ?
Just guessing from the feel I get from your location it says on CC.

Anyways yeah I've read some of the French chatter on a table too and it's mostly about stupid things I can't even remember now.

I'm not sure myself but I think he means a group of 6 players who know each other and talk to each other in a multi-phone-convo while playing tournys?

I like zoeba usually request english only but if they dont I personally just ignore chaand do sometimes even when they are speaking english just because it is distracting to me I am there to play not to chat thats just me personal but I also think that if it is cheating they are going after too low a limit to make any serious $$$ so I have to vote No also to the is this cheating
