I know this probably belongs in the Internet Forum, but I'm not going into that zoo.
I was playing some 2/4 online yesterday against a guy that I have seen a lot, and he was winning an unbelievable amount in the last two days (300-400 each day at 2/4), including huge pots uncontested. On Monday I hadn't noticed anything strange but yesterday the play at the table was very suspicious. Two players in seats 3 and 8 kept raising each other on early streets only to get heads up on the river and have one of them fold. It happened 4 or 5 times in half an hour. $80 + pots going unchallenged on the river.
They both left within a minute of each other and I asked the other players if they had felt the play was suspicious. A couple did so I sent a note to Paradis support asking them to review it.
I got an e-mail back this morning telling me they had closed both accounts.
I hope I did the right thing. I assumed there would just be a warning or a flag placed on the accounts in case it happened again. I suppose it's possible it was just two bluffers running into each other, but on th eother hand I'm glad that they take the possibility of collusion seriously.
Any comments? Should I have kept my mouth shut unless I had more proof?
