    OK, Final table of a $4.40 180man SNG,4 players left, I am big stack with ~145K, 2nd stack with ~85K, one player sitting out to my left with ~30K and one really tight player with ~40K to his left.

    The tight player had started talking trash about how I sucked and he was gonna bust me, because I was raising his blind almost every round. At one point he made a comment about how we should wait for the sitter to bust before playing each other. This made me start raising him EVERY time cause I know knew he didn't want to bust. He had more chips then the guy sitting out so I began folding my SB to the guy sitting outs BB then shoving on the tight guys BB because it was obvious he wanted to move up that spot.

    I then busted second big stack so had ~250K at that point, and since tight guy was being such a dick, I kept folding to the sitter basically giving him second place and busting the trash talking tight guy in 3rd.

    He then proceded to torment that crap out of me in the chat box, calling me cheater, colluder etc. But It felt pretty damn good. Is this really that much of a douch move or just playing the table I have?

    Well you shoudln't need his chat to figure out hes squeezing the person sitting out, but yes you should use this edge. His own fault.

    No, he is actually the colluder, not you, for suggesting to slowplay each other so the sitter would be busted first. 2 or 3 players agreeing to slowplay each other to squeeze out another is collusion and not allowed by the pokersites.

    Well played!

    Your move was strategically sound.

    This is actually one of my favorite things to do ever... well played sir, well played.

    I've started playing a bit lower stakes again because the 45 man super turbo sngs are so crackfiend addictive... the bubble is great because you can shove every hand for 2 orbits and they'll fold 99 and ace jack and stuff waiting for 6th... then when the shortstack is finally forced allin, 5 of them call for 1/3 of their stack, fold to my shove, and go ballistic when he wins and the cycle begins anew... lather rinse repeat dude.

    If you want to be an idiot and blatantly collude, 1. die and 2. don't chat about it. I love your play here, and hope everyone here treats these whiny scumbags exactly the same, as another exploitable speedbump on the way to the bank.
