Never have, never will.

Besides, anyone who cheats playing poker surely will never admit to it here. I know I wouldn't want to play at the same person who confesses to collusion.

edit: would we allow someone to participate in the CC events if they freely admit they have a history of colluding??

A cheat and a liar is as bad as a thief, IMO. So no, I've never colluded.

I've talked about a hand with another player at the table once or twice but the other player was already out of the hand. It was more showing off than collusion because there wasnt any advice given. I only remember winning one of those hands without a shwdown and I believe that I showed anyway.

I played a single table SnG once with Jesus Lederer and Tenbob. We came in 1,2 and 3. It wasn't collusion but we did seem to have a tendency to keep out of eachothers way. If either one of them bet strong I'd generally let the hand go unless I had a real monster. When I did, my reraise was usually understood by them to mean what I intended it to mean. I think this was less collusion than the ultimate read on another player.

I mostly play private tournaments where everyone know each other. I have on occasion warned innocent bystanders to fold when I read a strong hand, but they seldom listen.

Also, I don't know if this counts as collusion or not - but If I am puzzled by a strong player, I'll often quiz my friends to find out what they know about him.

Lastly, If it is a private TEAM league - I would think collusion to be an acceptable tactic. Fortunately there are really very few players who are talented enough to use collusion effectively.

Anyone caught colluding in a public game should (and often do) have their accounts revoked and their funds distributed to the victimized players. It is cheating plain and simple.

never have and never will, why should I resort to such a low tactic when I could win fairly and feel good about the win.

Websters Definition of collusion is : secret agreement for an illegal or deceitful purpose.

It was agreed upon and encouraged by ROB that we use collusion, ie... chipdumping! So being it was agreed upon it wasn't illegal! So the Team event was NOT collusion!

I kept away from strong bets just because i´m weak tight.

I've checked down to eliminate a player before. This isn't consider collusion in itself but if someone tells you to do it then it is collusion. On one ocasion a guy told me to check it down when it was clearly the right move(and what I was going to do anyway) so we checkd, he won, and we were in the money. Am I guilty?

Well I'm your one vote to Yes I guess. I'm ashamed to admit it but you asked for honesty.

About 3-4 Years ago when Tiger Gaming was young and I first came online, to learn the game, I sat at the play money tables. I was also learning how to use the computer at the time. I met people from all over the world and I was on top of it. There was this one guy I became buddies with he gave me his email address and added me as contact on Messenger. We knew what each other had at all times. Not proud of it today, and I swear I always believe like one of you said, I can't stand a cheat and a liar. That is one of my biggest motto's. I got swooped up in the whole situation, it lasted for about a week and I've never been back to the site since and my First real money deposit was at another site. I've never talked to this person since. You can't feel good about yourself doing crap like that. It's nice to have good wholesome friends, which this site has to offer. You know the old saying don't burn your bridges.

YOU SAID BE HONEST1111;)

]Websters Definition of collusion is : secret agreement for an illegal or deceitful purpose. Insanity has been defined as doing the same thing over & over & expecting different results. Every time I sit down at a card table with Zinzan I lose, he wins. Am I involved in a collusion so secret that even I don't know it or am I just a nut job?:joyman: :confused: :eek:

Sounds like a massive rationalization to me. It may not have been outright collusion, but you were definitely soft playing him because it was dad, on the last of his bankroll.

I guess I'm a thief and a bad person, because yes I have:(. I don't know if this makes it any better, but it was a while ago, and haven't done it since. I wouldn't do it again either-I've changed my colluding ways!

I am the third yes I believe. In my defense though I did not consider it cheating because I was new to poker and didn't think playing soft against my younger brother was cheating. Since reading a few poker books and being a member of this forum I have come to understand the true meaning of collusion and will admit I did.

Now I dont let up on my brother and I actually won over a $100 dollar pot off of him on one hand a couple of days ago.

So yes I did cheat and I am not proud of it but I do have a small excuse!
