Re: \"We Don\'t Bet Each Other on the River...\"

I know when I play against my friends I play especially tough and especially tricky because we respect each other and want to demonstrate our best play.

Re: \"We Don\'t Bet Each Other on the River...\"
ive seen a few people doing this at the commerce over in the low limit omaha section... they usually just flip it up on the turn and let the river come out. i think its collusion...

Re: \"We Don\'t Bet Each Other on the River...\"
I've seen this kind of thing many times, and I found that the players involved are usually terrible so I don't complain or anything. If it keeps them happy and in their seats playing bad like their supposed to they can soft-play each other all night IMO.

Re: \"We Don\'t Bet Each Other on the River...\"
The one time I played 75-150 Hold Em in AC, the game started 4 handed. Me, a pro and two rich action players. When it came down to just them, they often showed their hands to each other and stopped betting. This was kind of annoying after being bet out of the pot. I almost said something, but then realized something...these guys were the whole game. They were having a great time, giving money away. So I kept my mouth shut and am glad I did.
If someone is a no action player though, I wouldn't put up with that crap long. Jeff

Re: \"We Don\'t Bet Each Other on the River...\"
When I play with my friends, I play it pretty loose overall. I am probably the best player of the group, though overall they are not bad.
But I have NEVER seen anything like that. Why even both playing if you are gonna do this sort of thing?

Re: \"We Don\'t Bet Each Other on the River...\"
I agree that this is ridiculous. One of my friends got mad at me for raising him on the turn when we were heads up. He wouldn't talk to me for about two hours at the table even though we were sitting next to eachother. I found myself checking down the rest of that session when I was heads up with him, so he wouldn't whine the rest of our trip. We now rarely sit at the same table when we go to public cardrooms. I like the guy and respect the way he plays (with this one exception), but I don't feel like turning off the competitive button or turning the spotlight on the fact that "I'm with this guy." I know that we're not colluding on other hands, but if I was someone else at the table, I would start to wonder after this type of behavior. BTW - we were playing 2-6 hold em at Ex Calibur when this happened... not the toughest game around.
