- GGPoker has implemented security measures to combat collusion by switching Pot-Limit Omaha Five-Card cash games from six-handed to five-handed tables.
- A change to the tournament late registration process has also been introduced to curb abuse.
- The changes come in response to concerns about collusion and the removal of Sharkscope tracking.
- Other updates from GGPoker include an improved tournament filter option, multi-phase satellites, and a new win-loss graph feature in PokerCraft.
This is just part of our ongoing efforts to combat collusion; we will continue to work on new features to prevent these kinds of actions.
GGPoker has deployed changes to its Pot-Limit Omaha Five-Card cash games, switching from six-handed to five-handed tables “as an anti-collusion measure,” the operator stated. It has also deployed a change to its tournament late registration process to curb abuse.
Both changes were implemented on Friday, October 27 as part of GGPoker’s latest software maintenance update.
Because of the large number of cards dealt to each player, PLO5 is ripe for collusion: Players sharing hole card information gain a significant advantage over others as they know more information about the cards removed from the deck.
The change to how late registrants are seated at tables seeks to combat a different sort of collusion, where players would enter a tournament simultaneously and then stall the tournament to get in the money.
