Your thoughts

I can't do the maths but you're effectively paying £110 to get 2000 chips say, but if you come 3rd you lose money. having 2000 chips obviously doesn't guarantee 2nd place.

Exactly, i mean chip dumping is always -EV as each chips you gather is worth 1 less to the previous chips, unless its a winner take all prize.

Now in a multi this is easy to overcome, however in an STT there is a very limited number of chips in play, any player that can overcome this initial -ev purchase is good enough to win anyway so would never bother.

I don't for a moment think they are colluding, what I object to is the fact that they announced their intentions out of turn, thereby affecting the decision of other players

If I am on the button with 88 and the big blind says he is going to go all in, I may fold, he may have no intention of going all in but he is breaking the rules by declaring that he will do so before his turn

I saw actionjack do it at Luton and it was ruled ro be a moody

I guess the difference is if you do this live your verbal declaration is binding? I was more concerned about the swearing etc, seems to be a given on Crypto to act like an ass clown in chat

I was wondering about this.... If someone says "I'm going all in next hand" and someone else announces they would call this all in would both players be bound?
