Collusion or just bad etiquette?

[andybell666]

Never really had anything too controversial happen to me before so maybe you can set me straight on this.... Just been playing for 3 hrs in the Daily 10k GTD twin tourney on 888 tonight - been at same table for the whole time and had quite a few run ins with the guy to my right. So new guy appears at table and puts up a 5x raise in mid position - looks like he does not want to be called as he is deep so i shove my 8k stack in to his 14k stack. He then consults the table whether i have a pp or not. The guy to my right who is not involved in the hand then proceeds to give him the run down on our history and what i have been showing down etc..... After a long pause he calls my 10 10 with his AK to catch a A on river. I can handle the result but am pretty sure that this is verging on some sort of collusion in discussing how i have been playing in order to help a fellow competitor?

Re: Collusion or just bad etiquette? Andy, Definetly not allowed. See following from poker stars. standard rule on all sites. "Collusion, by which two or more players work together in the games or share knowledge to gain an unfair advantage over other players, is strictly prohibited." I have noticed on several sites in thge last couple of days this kind of collusion going on, but most sites seem to take little action unless you complain. During a circus qualifier for the $200,000 on sunday as we were getting near to the bubble 2 big stacks started announcing their cards to a short stack. If it happens to me I always comnplain to the site concerned.
