Default Possible Collussion? Two players to watch maybe.

$55 Party
ElBramos from Newland Highlands and toddlydoddly from Newland

ElBramos loses most of his stack to another player and then here are his hands with Toddly:

hand 1:
ElB Calls off most his little stack after flop to toddly's bet. Flop is Jc9sTh and ElB has 7c2c

hand 2:
ElB won prev. hand runner runner and built up to 575 making reasonable plays afterward. Now with J4o he calls a preflop raise from toddlydoddly (to 135, BB is 30) who has AA. He then calls off the rest of his stack after a flop of 7d2d8c and busts out.

I don't know if this is definitive or anything, but it is pretty damning. At least people should keep an eye out for them.

I don't really see what other players stand to lose by having them in the game though, if all their collusion is the smaller stack dumping chips to the larger. Doubt they get two buy-ins worth of value here.

In SnGs, wouldn't it be better to do the exact opposite, due to declining chip values? Ie, the big stack helps the shorty ITM.

These guys are dumb, and seem to be very obviously colluding.

Looks to me like their attempt to collude donated value to the rest of the table

Yeah, I didn't said they were good colluders, but still, they are possibly/probably cheating, and if when they aren't dumping they might be sharing their hole cards, or trapping you between them to get your chips or something else.

I was mainly hoping people might just keep an eye out for them. "toddlydoddly" shouldn't be too hard to remember.
