Re: Collusion?
[ QUOTE ]
I was at in a SNG the other night, short stack, down to 4 players, and had been chatting during the game w/ a guy who was now big stack. He folded SB to me 3 out of 5 times, which allowed me to stay in the game long enough to come in 3rd. I don't know if this was intentional, or if he just had bad cards, as it was never discussed. However the person who ended up in 4th accused us of colluding, and said he reported us. I've never played w/ this person before, however one time after folding to me, he stated somthing to the effect of "there you go", and after knocking this other guy out, putting me in the money, I jokingly stated that he had "saved me"(by eliminating someone). I did'nt even notice that he may have been helping me until 4th place pointed it out.
Even if he was helping me, there was nothing I could do about him dumping chips to me, if that's actually what he was doing. Is this collusion?

Depending on the game situation, by folding his chips to you, the short stack, allowed him to go about stealing chips from the other two and ensuring himself a higher probability of taking first.
I do this often. FWIW, I doubt that he was doing it to be nice, there was probably another motive.
