snufkins Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Hi,Was playing a 4 euro SNG with players "Konsultti" and "Kudnc" who where definitely working together against other players, especially three handed against me. They where extremely loose and agressive but ALWAYS folded all-ins gainst each other while being very loose on their calls all-in against me. The ONLY two times as I could see they where all-in against each other they had the exact same hand as I will post below. Including a hand where I previously hand taking chips from "kudnc" so he/she went all-in with 818 left on small blind with big blind being 600 (so only 218 more for "konsultti" to call and possibly play heads-up with me when I was chipleader but instead folded..). This made it almost impossible for me as I where playing against two players working together against me, really boring to see, and I eventually ended up third place which should not have been the case if they played normal. I´ll post the hand where there should have been a definite call (especially considering how loose they where against me and others) and also the only two hands where they where all-in against each other and all suddenly called with K high and nothing and A high having nothing...The text is in Swedish though, hope that workds anyway.

snufkins Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 Folding an all-in that's less then a small blind to call and the chance to play heads-up? But calling for all your chips with K high (K2) and A high (A9) which was the only two hands they were all-in against each other in the whole game and just happened to have the exact same hand and a guranteed split pot.At first I couldn't understand how the game could go on for so long, given how aggressiv and loose they were playing, expecially against us others but also against each other PRE-FLOP and then folding. I was running good and got a big chip lead early on and was basically just plying tight and waiting for others to knock each other out but nothing happened so game went on and on. They were loose with all-ins againt me and the fourth guy and always folded each other. But then it became more than obvious what was going on, not least three handed. Really took the fun out of playing that game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snufkins Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 Just also thought of this hand, happened earlier in the game after I had just made "kudnc" a lowstack. At the time it just seemed like an idiotic/weird play from "Konsultti" but in retrospect after getting to know them it was an obvious chip dump from "konsultti" to "kudnc". Why re-raise to 300 but fold when lowstack moves all-in with 545..Spel #1435180350: Bord €4 SNG 5 Seat - 25.00/50.00 - No Limit Hold'Em - Total prissumma €19 - 17:11:47 2021/02/23 *** Antalet spelare *** Platser 1: gr1mf4ndango (4048) Platser 2: kudnc (545) Platser 3: Konsultti (2524) Platser 4: -Bratwurst- (1850) Platser 5: veelgrip (1033) *** Blindar och knapp *** kudnc har knappen Konsultti lägger lilla mörken 25 -Bratwurst- lägger stora mörken 50 *** Hålkort *** Dealt in Konsultti Dealt in -Bratwurst- Dealt in veelgrip Delat ut till gr1mf4ndango [Ts 4k] Dealt in kudnc *** Innan flop *** veelgrip lägger sig gr1mf4ndango lägger sig kudnc höjer 150 med 150 Konsultti höjer 275 med 300 -Bratwurst- lägger sig kudnc höjer 395 med 545, och är all-in Konsultti lägger sig kudnc vinner 895 *** Sammanfattning *** Totalpot 895 Säte 2: kudnc: satsar 545 och vinner 895, nettoresultat: 350 Säte 3: Konsultti: satsar 300 och vinner 0, nettoresultat: -300 Säte 4: -Bratwurst-: satsar 50 och vinner 0, nettoresultat: -50 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SickOldIMLOF Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Looks like more than enough evidence to me, I will be surprised if security check will find them innocent.A9 vs A9 hand alone maybe could be explained, but K2 vs K2 doesnt make any sense at all of course. You also mentioned that these were the only two times that they went all out against each other, and they just happened to have same hand twice, what a coincidence, just like in case I posted.The other two hands seems to be even more damning. Perhaps Konsultti could try to defend himself, saying that its the first time he is playing poker or that he misslicked. But what are the odds that he missclicked terribly twice and saved kudnc in both situations.4€ SNG collusions seems to be even more obvious than 10€ ones. I got "oh, we have same hand, lets go all in" type hands, but no "oops, missclicked again" (unless they just werent that obvious). Makes me wonder how well they mask it in 25€.Btw, what if "kudnc" stands for: Konsultti's Uncle Doing Naughty Collusion 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snufkins Posted February 24, 2021 Author Share Posted February 24, 2021 Great stuff, glad to hear that.It is strange how they did not care about being obvious about their collusion. Don't know if they didn't know it is not allowed or if they just thought the rest of us is dumb enough not to notice. The hands I posted was just the most obvious examples, looking back at the game really everything they did had the strategy of working together to bleed the rest of us while shifting chips in between them both. Although I got really good hands that game it really made it impossible to play, although it was an interesting experience to see how much more difficult it was to play against two players working together. When I was the big chipleader early on I shifted focus to another table thinking they would knock each other out rather quickly given the way they were playing and just couldn't understand how the game could still be going on with blinds at 150-300. Now it makes more sence though 🤣 Glad to hear they got suspended quickly though! 👍 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pionrj Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 @Andy-Unibet Do you have any idea how long has this been going on? I'm pretty sure that I've played in the same table with this "konsultti" months ago. Not that I think that there was anything shady then, but for transparency it would be nice to know how long people can keep on stealing before getting caught. E. And another thing I was wondering while playing cash games for the moving up -campaign. How much of this happens there? There's few players who joins the table, posts one bb and leaves immediately. And this has happened more than once. The reason could be anything but it seems like they are trying to find the "right" table. It could also be that there's someone who they don't want to play with. Idk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For this specific case the earliest example given was from 18/09/2020 and the latest was 23/02/2021 from a total of 7 hands from 7 games were included as examples in the report.The frequency of the collusion is scored and in this case it was low so the accounts were not doing it every game they played. When I did a check this morning the games where they were in the same game were few and far apart so although the period between the first and last example is large, they were only doing it on the odd game and during infrequent sessions.Both accounts were actually losing players in all formats outside SNGs and one had played significantly more games than the other so it may be the case that they only did it on the off chance they were both online rather than it being a targeted attack each session. They were also some less obvious techniques during play. 1 Poker Janitor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pionrj Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 It's no relevant but "Konsultti" at least is almost certainly Finnish. I'm too but haven't even thought of doing any shady stuff in these games. The gain is just not worth it. But does Unibet change knowledge of these cheaters with other companies or is it illegal? I'm pretty sure that someone who cheats on some site, does it in other sites too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
