There was some drama last night that I wish to address since swcpoker is such a small and tight community:

There's this guy that complains anytime an underdog wins a hand. If the favorite wins the hand, then he expresses his utter surprise. Last night he went off talking **** in the chatbox about what a huge luckbox donk I am after I won a hand with an underdog. I just let him go on and on, but then this happened:

I'm in the big blind with some trash hand and the **** talker was in the small blind. We all get our cards and he says, "someone bet im not betting him." which is just blatant cheating. Sure enough, someone raised and everyone folded. So I went off a bit in the lobby chatbox and sent an email to support.

Will report back with any news.

He sounds like an idiot and it probably didn't have any effect on the hand. I'd probably just let it go.

Disagree with you on this one. Attempted collusion is still collusion and the offending player should be disciplined appropriately. You can't tell people that they should raise because you are folding your blind. He was trying to work with other people at the table (even though they obviously aren't at fault for receiving information that helped their game) to the detriment of bojax. That has no place at the poker table.

It's definitely out of line, but not technically collusion since there was nothing secret about it. I guess attempted collusion is accurate. It reminds me of countless live situations where some drunk idiot is doing things that aren't cool and that I'd never let a solid player get away with but everyone just kind of rolls their eyes because the guys an idiot and is making the game a good one.

Yeah, but ignoring someone whose breaking etiquette but isn't actually hurting anyone's EV is a lot different than someone actively trying to lower your EV by giving information to your opponents that they shouldn't have. And, obviously, fun players get their own rules.
