[Matt Flynn]

I would like to join tonight. If you get an AIM from CrazyMonkeyTilt, that's me.

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.

One thing we can do is split up the alphabet. My group gets tables starting with A thru M, you get N thru Z.

Also, if we hit the same table, whichever group gets 4 or more "wins". I'd much rather get another 2+2er than a random stragler.

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 think he's talking about the gold/platinum deal. I've got platinum status. If I was UTG in your group on the 000th hand, raised, and everyone folded, now Stars is out another grand or two because of collusion.

I thought this too at first, but his message was a direct reply to the OP. I agree that the gold/platinum is problematic.

It would be funny to ask for a chop from support though.

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.

PM'd my Stars ID and will send my AIM ID tonight.

As far as the chop goes, I'm happy to take $2,500 each if we win on a 6-max or just take our chances. We can decide at the table what everyone would like to do.

I hadn't thought that folding to a Gold or SuperNova could be construed as collusion, but I think I'd agree it wouldn't be wise unless Stars agreed.

IMHO chopping adds to much uncertainity and unnecessary confusion to this. I say let the lucky winner keep the extra money, I know im just happy with any money won.

[Ptolemy]

Whatever my group decides on I'm good with. I too am happy with any money I win, $2K into my roll would be a big increase.

Ok, I stand corrected. Good luck.

You don't want people slowing down because they don't want to risk folding the 000th hand. A chop is fine.

I have a reliable friend that is down for doing the all-nighter. He's looking for a group (I already have one). Can someone looking for one more PM me?
