I'm like buddy, you know they were colluding against you that hand right? Q/5s capped preflop, and then still raising on the turn, with the other guy having A/A. I thought it was pretty obvious atleast.. until my partner, Ponks, comments

"Does seem a bit like colluding. Although Q5s is called the GrannyMae hand (2+2 thing). The startegy with Q5s is to raise non-stop.

Ponkers"

I thought he was pulling my leg, but assures me its true!


so what do you guys think collusion or Granny Mae?
