Online "Sit and Go" tournament experiences

[Karayilan9]

I'm no major poker player, actually I hardly play but I got a free bonus so used it yesterday. Anyway, I download the program, go to a "Sit and Go" tournament, there was 6 in the room and the top 3 win double the entry fee. After the first two guys got their chips sucked, I noticed that everytime I folded they kept giving each other the chips, so each time one of them would get chips and that way they always retained most of them.

They were all typing to each other in another language, it was so obvious what they were doing. I let them carry this on for a while, they would go half all in each time to scare me into folding then share the chips at the end. Then I got an AA, I waited for them to raise, three of them put half their pot in, I called, the next card drawn was another A, I played it cool, waiting for their raise. This time the idiots raised even higher, one went all in and the other two folded straight after to try and make it like he had a solid hand. I called again, this time they were typing away like crazy. The dik got his chips sucked and they all started complaining.

Is this common in Sit and Go? what an easy scam if it is, they could have been more smart about it though and talked on phones or instant messenger.

It was won of those tournaments were you win if your in the top 3 and a bit more if your first, once I got in the top 3 I kept going ALL-IN to piss them off, the two cheats didn't know how to respond because I was playing ultra cautious before. Anyway they folded a few times and I got lucky getting a full house on the last card to win it.

This was my first time playing online poker, so it was probably beginners luck, however, I didn't really like online poker compared to live.

I should have demanded they speak English aswell, couldn't believe how they were dropping each other chips

Looks like a perfect example of collusion. You should notify poker room about it, they can check hand history and take care of it.
I play mostly SnG's and never experienced anything like that.
