Hold’em with Holloway, Vol. 26: Is Keeping the Short Stack Alive Collusion?
The Short StackLast week I had the opportunity to sit down and actually play a poker tournament. I’d been traveling a lot both for work and on a family vacation, so it had been awhile since I’d played. Granted, it was only a $60 nightly at my local casino, but I was still excited to get back in action. As fate would have it, an interesting scenario came up during the course of play, one I wanted to explore in more detail in this week’s column.
The basic question I’d like to address is this: “Does keeping the short stack alive in tournament poker constitute collusion?”
