INVALID BBCODE: close of unopened tagLet's take a look at that hand history.
Note MichaelDE has aces (AsAh), eazy1 and BillySwords are the marks. OP has JcQs

So obv you want to build a pot and not drive off the marks. So Caroline limps, MichaelDE overlimps with aces (!) one mark (Billy) folds, the other (eazy1) in tablethe sb is getting a good price so calls, then you whipsaw from bb with a tiny raise to 2.5bb. Caroline93 calls, then MichaelDE OVERCALLS with his aces, as does the mark. This is collusion team play 101.
Flop 8d Qc 6h. You flop top pair, bet small (12.5bb into 10bb), caroline gets out of the way, MichaelDE flats AGAIN with his overpair, and the mark folds. Oh well.
Turn Jd. You turn 2 pair, so it goes bet/raise/reraise, for some unknown reason MDE just calls instead of shipping with 3 to a straight and 2 to a flush on board..

By now even the spidey senses of road kill would normally be tingling, but when the Td puts four to a straight and three to a flush on the board you both belt it in with hands that by now are both very much bluff catchers. Give the action nobody sane would put MDE on aces, but despite beating literally nothing with your 2 pair in it goes because you know what the hands are.

This hand screams collusion.
