Default Collusion? discraceful dumping chips at bubble by J. Be Good

I was watching the 3R on Pokerstars and they were at the bubble and player J. Be Good was in big blind with 173k in chips and folded to an all in by Reglardave on the button for 8500 chips basically. It would have cost J Be Good 500 chips basically to call him and he folded.

Is this just a totally classless act by this player? If I was oneo of the other short stacks left I would be totally pissed off. The next guy out gets 91 dollars instead of a seat in the 1Mill sunday tourney.

What a shame there are players with no integrity.

uhh. he can play how he wants. He is under no obligation to help other shortstacks. Not at all classless.

I'm never in that situation because I play properly and never wind up with a billion chips in a sat, but whatever, if I liked the button for some reason I'd fold too. This includes stuff like the button just being friendly at the table.

In fact, if I had a billion chips I'd have sat out and made myself a sandwich in the first place.

With 176K in chips and it costing you 500 more chips when you are in the big blind to fold is as classless as can be and if you can't see that, well then I feel sorry for you.

There is something in this world called integrity and I guess some people just don't have it. Anybody that would do this has no integrity whatsoever.

What in the world does this have to do with integrity?

It's not my job to knock people out at that point.

I guess your response doesn't surprise me. There seems to be a lot of people with no integrity out there. pathetic.

What you just said was an attack on my integrity and my curricter. But I will not reply in kind. Instead I will put those comments away -- away in a tiny lockbox, where all bad thoughts go.

Fold seemed fine to me, hes under no obligation to even risk 1 more chip to help some [censored] lowstack.

You are completely wrong with your assertions. And please don't call people pathetic without fulling understanding their position. First, there are people that just don't get that even if they have 72o they should be calling when it's only a few chips more. Second, there are people who just don't pay that close attention and automatically click fold because they see ANY raise. Third, there are people who click the fold button immediately when dealt a bad hand and don't manage to uncheck it even with the small raise. And fourth, there is definitely a strategy involving folding this type of hand in order to keep the small stack alive. This is a very good strategy around the bubble.
