Default Live game Q

I play in a small stakes live game every weekend. We always have 8-10 players out of a pool of about 15 regulars. Two of our "guaranteed" regulars (they never miss a game...ever) are a husband and wife couple playing from the same bankroll. She doesn't even work, so all teh money is essentially coming from his pocket. For a while now, I've suspected that they may be collaborating. He can be described as a maniac, she's a rock. Playing in a NL tourney style game, with about 6 players left, a hand gets down to just them two. With four clubs on the board after the river, he goes all in. Not a bad bet considering, especially if he doesn't think she has a club. She calls quicker than a seven-out in craps. They both turn over to reveal that neither one of them had a club, or even a pair! She won the hand, and all his chips with K high. They go all-in against each other quite a bit, so I've had this suspicion for some time, but that hand sealed it for me. My Q is: They're both HORRIBLE players. Should I kick them out or shut my mouth and just keep taking their $$$? I like taking their coin, but I don't like the fact that two players are working a game as a team.

That's the first thing I would do is run of the fish. Then some good players can come in and take your money.

even if he knew he was beat, who cares? You get the $$ anyway, right? Maybe more husbands should let their wives win...

Nothing is sweeter than taking money from cheating colluders. Why ruin a good thing?

Take the money, and in my opinion let them keep working together unless they learn the game. Although I agree witht he others here, I think their play is just bad.
