Should I have called collusion?

[RollaJ]

In general, in a home game, with a somewhat obscure rule..... wait till the hand is over and explain the rule. Also, explain that next time you wont accept it

It is collusion, even if it wasn't intended that way. Since it was a home game, the only thing you can realistically do is ask the Tournement Directory (host) to specify rules on this and make it known to all the players so that it won't happen again in the future.

After the hand, win or lose, I woulda said "Why don't you STFU Mr. Muck! A LITTLE FU*KING ETTIQUETTE!"

...and make sure you spray spittle on his face while saying 'FU*KING!'.......a long, juicy 'F'.

People are such A**Holes sometimes. I would have definetly gotten very upset and said something.

I think the host should have a posted list of rules. A good one for this is that if a player is all in and another suggests checking it down, his hand should be dead. Definitely mention to people that they should read the rules.

Implicit collusion is one thing. Planned collusion is another- I would have called foul.

The home game I play is very laid back and social, so I've heard this alot. But when some moron says, "Let's just check this one down.", after he sees the flop, it usually translates into, "That flop didn't help my hand at all so please don't make me bet anymore money in this one to get to showdown." So I just smile and throw out about 10BB.

I agree, but home games are training grounds for the casino games, so good practices should be instilled.
