A few tournament purses withheld/confiscated will go a long LONG way. and it will happen. It will become much easier/safer to just register.
In principle this idea would be fairly easy to do, give more transparency to poker & also help grow the game-in as I know off a lot a people who would never play at certain places because of the unknown teams.
It also goes a long way to making our game very much more professional.
The cost of this may make the rake go up a $ or 2 & also some may have to pay "their" taxes so u can see y ppl would resent this going further.
I'd bet that 90% of peeps who play our game have fallen victim to collusion because of the horses, this problem if far bigger than 1 would imagine is my take on it.
