haha wow, that is pretty bad.

Nandinhooo probably just selected fold by misstake... you can't prove collusion here so PP did the right thing.

[AmonRaa]

OMG, LOL, no evidence whatsoever

[nlplfl]

Reread my reply. Partypoker might sound stupid most of the times but they are not. Of course they look at the history of the players aswell. This guy probably pressed fold by misstake.

True, but it's EXTREMELY suspicious that his mistake happened be at JUST the time that he raised to all... but one of his chips.

Party has a minor bug that occasionally makes it impossible to bet the pot in pot limit games, only allowing you to bet $0.01 less than the pot. It could be a variation on the same problem.

I used to do this for fun...

[Hume]

Um, if they want to collude to make losing plays I wouldn't complain.

Party's probably right here. Sometimes people misclick, and sometimes people are retarded and know nothing about pot odds. I have notes on tons of people that say "folds preflop getting 1k:1".

You're correct to report this hand, and Party Poker should definitely investigate. However, if the players in question don't have a history of playing in the same tournaments or at the same table in cash or whatever, then Party should do what they did.
