Re: Is This Cheating? Hmmm. Typing 'check' into the chat box? I wouldn't have thought so. :lol I assume you mean that both of them had no intention of betting against each other after the flop after you put youself all-in and that the first guy declared his intention and the second one followed implying something funny was going on. I'd suggest it's sneaky rather than cheating as both of them thought they had a good chance of knocking you out pre-flop and one of them eventually did on the river. Neither hit anything on the flop and you can count yourself unlucky that they guy who had AQo didn't bet.
