Going to add a little background before i get into the main issue and then say what i did and why but i’d also love to hear other opinions.
Background: the mother in law invited me to a charity like poker game at a bar about 50% of the buyins going to a girls softball team
$25 buyin with 3 hour window for rebuys
The event: i get there play well for the first two hours and towards the end of rebuy my QJ two pair loses two a rivered straight I proceeded to go all on so i can rebuy at the rebuy period i should note one of the coaches did rebuy 4x to boost his chip stack. ( I didn’t realize you could do that at this tournament)
I rebuy we make it to the final three, me and two different coaches. The first hand i fold and they are heads up when one of them looks at the other and says “I’m not going to raise against you.” Now I immediately noticed what was going on and basically said i might as well shove if you two won’t raise against each other. The other coach just shrugged. I slow played for a bit waiting for a shove hand and we went there about 5 cycles. They never raises against each other. I proceeded to lose when 4 hearts hit the board to give one of the coaches a flush. I collected my $39 winnings so a $11 loss overall and left.
I was really upset i know it was all for a good cause but i hate being cheated. I kinda of just let it go and said never again do i play for charity. (2nd place would get $69 and first was around $140 i think)
This happened on sunday and i’m still upset what would you have done if anything different
