You need a sense of scale.

People who are skilled at gambling enough to connect and properly collude are not going to be at the SSB poker tournament. They are going to be playing at higher stakes. Remember how you talked about $20/$30 per hour? That sounds like a reasonable EV, if you split it among the group. So you have 3 skilled players fleecing the SSB crowd for $8/$10 an hour. They need to get a life. Or if someone is using robot players, they are not going to bother with $20/$30 an hour. Because they are really dreging the bottom of the barrel. Why play a game where at least half the players are decent? They will look at the "% people seeing the flop" stat and move to another table. I know people that play a lot of poker online by themselves. Three tables at a time. And they say they make about $50/hour. You know what? That isn't even worth my time. I'm not even going to bother to learn how to do it for $50/hour.

I am a paranoid son of a bitch and I am not worried in the least.

I'm not saying there is no cheating going on. I'm saying they have better things to do. Now if you sit at a table and see D#1, D#2, D#3... then I take it all back!
