Re: Potowatomi collusion

3) It's a kill pot. Before the cards are dealt, the leader of their group whispers to the guy on his right (one of his friends) to 'bump it up'. Leader, who is UTG, raises, his friend to his right re-raises.

His friend is in the big blind, right? Were there callers in between? It's not collusion to agree to raise or 3-bet without looking at your cards. The other two examples you gave, if they're not "jokes", are examples of team play or collusion.

Sorry, I tried fixing my OP, but it was too late. The guy who said to bump it up was UTG, his friend was directly to his LEFT. The kill was on the button.
As I said, this was the final incident of the night. First, there was the comment about giving him a signal if one of his friends had a good hand. Then, they were asking each other if they were going to call my river bet. Finally, the obvious betting and raising to get other players out of pots, followed by a single river bet and a muck. They were obviously trying to buy the kill pot for the team. And if someone had a playable hand, they would team up against them.
Look, just because I know the way to combat this stuff does not make it right. And it certainly doesn't mean that the floor should let them get away with it. FWIW, I left the casino up $ for my session, but that's not the point. Poker is not supposed to be a team sport.
