Default Re: Obvious Collusion - Pokerstars

Collusion or not, pushing allin on this hand here is poor play . There are two limpers which mean they have decent hands. The shortstack is allin. The proper play is to call or fold assuming this is the bubble. He's not going to beat 4 hands most of the time and isolating him with A3o here is assuming he has a better hand than you and that you're looking to pick up the pot based on the overlay since he's shortstacked. I would flame you for making this shove on the bubble because it's just not smart.

Thanks for enlightening us pro. The point is that the big stack doesn't care if it's a "good" play b/c he is getting a seat regardless of what happens. He is just messing around b/c it's fun to terrorize people on a satellite bubble when you get the chance.

dude

I've played a million of the wcoop sats, and this is incredibly standard. People are retarded. They're retarded in the 11rs and they're retarded in the 80r/109r.

No one knows how to play satellites, and big stacks shove on the bubble all the time. 75% of the bubble strategy in these things is figuring out which kind of dumb the dumb people are.

edit - not intended to flame; bad luck op, nothing more frustrating than bubbling this way. The worst is when three or four people make bad calls and every time the allin wins, then they make a bad call on you with the worst hand and win.
