Ghosten gebNZDt in online poker when a player manages to get far in a tournament, and then lets another (better) player play for him. Other players in the tournament then have a completely different player against them. Of course, this is cheating if you suddenly try to make another player with more experience win the tournament. Therefore, ghosting is definitely a form of cheating.
However, there is also another way of ghosting. For example, it happens that players play online poker while someone else is sitting next to them. This player coaches the playing player and indicates how they should play certain hands. You actually take on two players as an opponent, so it is also difficult to assess how your opponent reacts to certain situations. Ghosting is therefore a simple way of cheating, where it is also very difficult for the poker website to discover if someone is ghosting.
Multiple accounts
Multi-accounting is something that is widely used and especially useful for players who play every day or very often. At some point you are a frequent guest at the digital poker tables, otherwise opponents will know better than you who you are and how you play. Of course, this can work to your disadvantage if opponents know what kind of player you are. Whether you are tight-aggressive or loose, all the information available online is used to try and beat you in online poker. by Multi-accounting or using multiple accounts under different aliases you can avoid this problem. The moment you play under the name Piet, other poker players do not know that you are actually Bart. This will give you an advantage over other players. Multi-accounting is prohibited because it is considered cheating.
The better the opponent, the more the opponent will use the knowledge about you as a player and the way you play. Multi-accounting is something you only see in the higher echelons of poker.
Cooperate
Working together is something that also benefits a lot with live poker. Sometimes Co-playing players sit next to each other and give each other a signal by tapping each other's knee or foot. With online poker, cheating might be even easier this way. Working together can actually be done in any possible form of poker, from cash games to poker tournaments. However, it is so convenient when you sit together at the table. How to cheat online by working together:
- Keep each other informed about the cards you have in each hand.
- Send each other hand history against a particular player. This way you can get more insight into how a specific player plays.
- Signal each other when the player you are working with should or should not bet.
- If you are in a hand against a player you are working with do not take everything out of your hand so that you or your fellow player remains in the tournament.
- In a tournament, it also happens that cooperating players dump their chips on the other player. Thus, the cooperating player with a larger stack can get a better edge to win the tournament than if you have two smaller stacks.
Using illegal poker software
Poker is all about probability. Professional players often do not play on feeling but look at the odds and how big the chance is to win with a certain hand. This calculation is very difficult and can be tiring if you have to calculate this a whole tournament.
Now there is a poker software program called RTA (Real Time Assistance), which takes on this task. This program calculates the odds for each hand and then tells you which choice to make based on probability calculation. This way you can always play a tournament or hand in the perfect way when it comes to odds calculation. Of course, this does not mean that you always win, if you have a 90% chance of winning then it does not mean that you actually win that hand.
In addition, it also indicates how much you should bet based on the number of chips you and your opponent have. This allows you to play a perfect tournament, the cards you choose will ultimately determine whether you win the hand or not. The software has no influence on this.
You can say, everything is purely probability calculation and therefore it is not cheating. However, the poker sites like GGPoker see it differently, if you are caught with this software your account will be suspended forever.
