two newcomer questions

Hi,

They wanted you to check down so 2 players have more chance to bust out the short stack as just one player. Imo your bet was fine and with 6 people left this shouldnt be happening and you should just play for the win. This play happens more often when you are at a bubble of a tournament or already itm and more players call an allin from another player and check it down so they have more chance of winning money.

This type of play is happening pretty often and i don't think its bad, although i do think you shouldn't discuss about it at the tables. It's just some sort of 'silent agreement'. Also with 6 players left it's kinda pointless.
