Re: Collusion in canterbury 30/60 game?
[ QUOTE ]
I was up at grand casino in Millacs this past weekend and overheard a guy talking about how he refuses to play the 30/60 game at canterbury because of collusion between some of the regulars? Is this just some donk talking out his a$$ or is there some validity to it? If so.. what sort of collusion?

I've never been there but it would surprise me if there is not a good bit of it as I've never failed to see it at most places. What makes a game beatable to strangers is if there are enough fish to compensate for the collusion among regulars. There is a very big variety of things that they do which they don't even consider collusion. Things such as playing tough in a multi-way pot and then checking it down after the stranger folds. Raising and three betting to steal blinds, posts, and especially kill pots and collection pots.
On my last trip to commerce I was playing 60/120. A guy comes over and starts talking to the guy next to me. I hear him say, "I had pocket queens on that other hand. I didn't raise because I didn't want to end up heads up with you. I was trying to get your attention."
They are very blantant and don't even think they are doing anything wrong.
