Since this was originally posted in B&M, OP might have wanted to know about his options talking to the Floor, etc (maybe get him to look at the hands one time to see if it is "shady")

Yes, this is what I was aiming at. I don't know why this got moved to Medium Stakes as I'm not asking what hands I can play from BB; I'm asking about if I should suspect collusion. How does the floor ever gets involved in anything like this? And I guess, how long I should "take it" before blowing the whistle. Since I know poker by nature is aggressive, and they are two good players they could in fact be just playing their cards hard against each other, which I have no problem with. However, if their plan was to bet/3-bet me each time and at the end of the session chop up the big blinds I folded in the parking lot, that would not be kosher.

Obviously, I could quit (but in this case the other two players were so weak that I thought I could exploit them). But I'm really looking at the overall big picture as I'm sure I'll bump into them again. It's a small poker world here at $40/$80.

BTW, this did not occur at the Bike. This happened at a local casino in the Bay Area a couple of months ago.

And a side question would be: What are people's experience with collusion in live play in general and how was it handled?

Thanks,

Garland
