SNGs Collusion or Not


by Vanman
poker player

So last night I played 3 SNGS. It was truely a horrible experience. The first one I was card dead the whole time. The blinds were fast approaching 100/200 and I had about 700 in chips left. I picked up AA and of course as always I didnt get any action. The very next hand I picked up JJ. I bet 300, got one caller. The flop came all rags. I pushed my last 400 or so in there, instant called and he turns over AA. Out in 5th.

My next SNG 6 players are left and the blinds are 75/150. Life is much better here I am sitting with 1800 in chips. I picked up AcJc in the BB a guy that barely has me covered raises. I smooth call and the flop brings A22. I push all in and of course he calls and shows A9. I am thinking nice have him crushed, but actually he crushed me when the 9 came on the river. Out in 6th.

The last SNG and the most interesting of the night, 4 players left two huge chip leaders and the rest of us about the same, very, very short stacked. Then I notice this anomolly the SB of the other SS is letting him walk, every orbit, folding his SB to him or calling when they are heads up but folding to a BB bet. This guy had 5k in chips and the other guy 1k or less. This went on for like 30 min until the other CL went out. I ended up finishing 3rd but on the very first hand heads up it ended. I thought about it for a while, the first guy kept folding all tournament when he was a huge chip leader and finally heads up he called an allin with a very crappy hand something like 52o, the other guy had AQ Seemed like they were working it to me.  What would you do about this if you indeed thought they were colluding. I have there names and will be watching out for them.

I am out of town for the next few days, so until then.
