    I got a question about playing in sattelites/ freerolls. I was recently playing in carbon pokers saturday freeroll where top 100 get paid a $100 buy in ticket. It usually plays with about 1500- 2000 players. So when it gets down to about 200 players left and everyone at your table has average stacks (all big enough to make the money) could everyone at your table use the 15 or so sec and keep folding around. Therefore no one is really ever losing any chip, Just the antes, which you would get back when it was folded to you. What do you think of this strategy? I know it would involve getting everyone at your table to agree, and may be considered collusion, but just thinking about it i cant find a reason not to. Im pretty sure your table would never break because noone would ever get knocked out. BTW ive never tried it cause im sure someone would decide to play their AA or KK and then it would ruin it for everyone. Any thoughts?

    Or someone would realize this is collusion and not want to cheat either for ethical reasons or so their account doesn't get banned.

    I played in a sattelite at Bodog a while ago where at another of the 3 tables remaining the players discussed and agreed to each fold every hand and wait for the bubble to burst on the other tables.Unfortunately it did leaving me as the bubble boy and feeling a little aggrieved so I emailed support complaining about the blatant collusion.
    Their response was to freeze my account and then do nothing.I didn't persist with my complaint and they later unfroze my account but I haven't played on Bodog again since then.

    Sorry that reads a bit like a bad beat story but openly discussing such a strategy is definitely collusion.
