Question:    Is it possible to cheat in online poker using friends on the telephone or multiple computers?

Answer:    Cheating is unfortunately possible, however the act that you are describing is known as collusion and would violate the house rules at ALL online poker halls. Online Casinos hunt for cheaters, check them and blacklist them. If you want to learn more, read Planet Poker’s Collusion Policy.  I don't believe in cheating. I'm a gambler, not a cheater. A good poker player doesn't need to cheat to make money. Time would be better spent studying a good poker book (such as "Hold'em Poker For Advanced Players") and learning to play the game the way it is meant to be played. You can indeed make a good amount of money this way.
