there must be a story about this.
strasse is meant to be a great player and from reading 2+2 i think b buddy is also a winner at this level so even though in isolation they look quit funny i have to think there is a story behind this.

bman

I am B Buddy. Both times there I was just trying to take down the blinds.

some type of conclusion to create a maniac image ?

That was the first thing i thought when i read the two hands cause as has been said from reading 2+2 these are not that bad of players.

Either that or their is history between the two of them.

Bandana boy

i dont know he has a lot of players still to get through for collusion to be a factor

I wouldn't play on a site again if I saw that. There'd be alarm bells ringing! Bets of 80 and 170 times the big blind picking up hands, 2 pair including top pair and then a straight, neither time with any sort of pre-flop hand, and both within 5 mins of each other?

edit: I should point out I don't know either player, have never played at anywhere near those stakes, and am unfamiliar with the site in question!

pok3rplaya

wtf??

RoundTower

I think B Buddy is known to go on occasional wild tilt like this, and strassa is calling with any 2 cards that are favourite over a random hand.

Standard.

MrPillowTalk

no collusion, tilting at 25/50 is expensive.

Bbuddy is up a ton of money recently

Sangre

Outplayed him on the flop tbh.
