Default Re: A cheating scenario

I reported almost exactly this situation to Full Tilt support, asking if this amounted to collusion... Two players sit down together at a Pot Limit Omaha (High) table, raise up almost every pot until they're both all-in preflop, and then leave together after doing their damage.

Their response:

I have reviewed the play of the players and question. Rest assured there
is no collusion or unethical play present. The players in question are
simply capping the betting and allowing the hands to showdown.
Essentially they are "shooting" the hand for gambling purposes. While
this somewhat unethical if other players are at the table, it is
ultimately not collusion or against any Full Tilt Poker policies.

I tried to exploit it, and got my money in decent each time, but variance killed me. First hand I decided to play, my AAT3 is cracked by KJJ2. Next hand I play, my AKK7 is beaten by 7442.

I thought it would be very exploitable, because they were basically playing any four cards. But the variance was huge, of course. One of these guys would get stacked and reload for a full buy-in and pick right up where he left off.
