The online portals do provide a small chat box for the players to interact, with time few players have formed groups and have started colluding against the new or an player outside their team. These kind of collusion can be prevented as many companies are working on algorithms to prevent the conversation in that form but still there is always a chance that you are against a team. Yes even in live Poker the same possibility is there and even a high one but in that case most of the understanding is based on body language which can help you to step out, this advantage is missed out in online Poker.
