Imagine this scenario, you are quiet happy playing hold’em online. Some half decent play, no “all-in wonders”, you win a few you lose a few, a couple of bad beats, and you catch a few good cards on the river.

All in all a very pleasant evening spent playing online poker. Now another player (player1) enters the table, says hi to the table and starts playing. After several hands another player (player2) enters the table and immediately starts using a whole string of abusive and racist comments on the chat forum.

Now “player1” responds to these comments, so now there is defiantly antagonism between these two players. Now “player2” starts going all-in before the flop with nothing. Loses hands, re-buys, goes all-in again with nothing, loses hands, re-buys etc, etc, while continuing to use the chat forum for abusive and racist discourse.

Now “player1” disappears for a while and “player2” continues the pattern of play and chat as before. After a period of time “player1” returns and announces to the table, that he is a hacker and knows what “players2”’’s cards are. And low and behold he is correct. This “player1” must be a genius to be able to hack into the site, and out of the goodness of his heart he is helping the rest of the table beat the abusive and racist “player2”.

This goes on for several hands, then this change occurs, the wonderful and helpful “player1” starts misreporting “player2”’s cards, and at crucial parts of a hand will announce that “player2” is holding cards to complete a straight draw, which turns out not to be true!!

So these two players were called out on what was going on, and you can imagine the profound and complex use of some the more descriptive words in the English language that then flowed over the chat forum.

For some reason they never returned!

So you decide if ther was collusion, or not between these two players.
