I just PM'd you as well but count me in for the hopefully $2k marathon.

What are your thoughts on agreeing to chop up all or a portion of the "extra" $3k the winner gets if we get lucky?

My thoughts on chopping : (just an idea - no commitment yet)

If you all fold to me pre-flop, I'll take that as an honest willingness to share and I'll split my bonus with you. If I get at least 1 caller though, I'm not sure what to do. I'll definitely share with folders (if they agree with this) but I'm not sure how much is fair.

BTW, the reason to fold to me is that I get the goldstar 30% bonus.

I would completely agree to this idea...hopefully everyone else at the table would do the same. I don't want to have to worry about accidentally folding the 000th hand anyway.

We should just figure out who has the highest status in the group and fold to them, I hope there's a platinum out there.

This sounds like an incredibly bad idea. If they check the hand history, or one of the hundreds of railbirds that go to your table click and check the hand history of past hands, they will see that you have softplayed, all your funds will be seized and your accounts will be frozen. I think the chance of getting away with this is very small.

1. I have asked PokerStars suppport if it's considered colusion if everyone openly agrees to fold to the blinds. They said that they don't have a problem with it.

2. railbirds can only see the last few hands at the table

3. folding to the blinds is relatively common

I need one more for my group of 6. Please PM me your AIM name if interested.

Additionally, last night, my group ran into another 2p2 group a few times trying to fill the tables. It might not be a bad idea to coordinate somehow here ahead of time.
