Default Re: Heads up agreement?

This is collusion and unacceptable.

Of course they do. They are collusding to see that they both get the chance to make it to showdown.

The all in players are entitled to the protection that having the two players play individually would provide. Imagine an All-IN player has a set. Now one of the other players has top two and there is a flush draw and a straight draw on the board.

Player with top two very reasonably should be betting here to try get the draws out from the other player. But instead they agree to check it down and on the river the other player (who would have folded his pocket pair) hits a higher set on the river to beat you.

We have a situation here where you lost a pot because two players entered into an agreement to allow each other a free draw. that is collusion.
