I gave that site a quick look around too after I read the original thread. Maybe I missed it, but it doesn't look like there's any strategy content on there. Just seems to be a site for neverwin's fanboys to troll.

The collluders are taking a pretty big risk to put in 5 or more big bets between them if it turns out that you have an overpair bacause, of course, you are not folding that hand no matter what they do.

But they did get him to fold an overpair. Or am I misunderstanding the point? And as far as the showdown goes, that calldown is virtually necessary, given the way hogbird played the hand. If he check-folded the river, collusion would be a near-certainty (assuming you could find out he had AQ).

One other thing I haven't seen mentioned in this thread (and I missed this epic the first time around) are the much more common and elusive methods of collusion. Someone speculated that these guys may only collude in one of every 50 hands to avoid detection. I think it's much more likely they're colluding every hand.

The fact is most expert collusion partners would almost never make this kind of blatantly suspicious play. They work together by simply fold strong hands in multiway pots when their partner has a better made hand or better similar draw, thereby cutting the victim's action in half when he has a winner. (Of course, when they do wind up headsup, they might hardplay more than usual to cover up)

This is much easier to execute, extremely hard to spot without hole card knowledge and, combined with decent regular play, very profitable over the long haul. THIS is the kind of collusion UB should be looking for, as well as the more rare jamjobs like the hands already posted.
