With thousands of players on Party poker, surely you will run into the occasional couple sharing hand information over the phone, trying to raise you out of a hand, etc. Believe it or not, that doesn't change a great deal. Very few hands develop where a "team" would be correct in laying you 2 to 1 on your money. As Sklansky put it, "it is easier to become a winning poker player than a winning cheat". In addition, they all get caught sooner or later, given the site's monitoring systems. Do you really think they'd tolerate mischief on their site and jeopardize their QUARTER OF A MILLION PER HOUR income? I have consistently won several thousand a month for the past 14 months on Party, and prior to that I was barely making it in Vegas as a mid-limit pro. Results speak, and 3000 online hours make a sufficient sample. If you need a bot, or you are afraid that your opponents are using one, you are not a winning player yet.
