ES-~$500
I'm at a table with some bad players & this causes the 2-man Bum-Hunting Team to arrive at the table.
All they do is rebate the their partner the money they invested in the pot, should the other one win. No signals or other type of collusion. They claim this isn't collusion.
OTTH
Team player A is UTG+2 & opens for $12 & it's folded to me in the HJ.. I raise to $35 with QQ & Team player B calls in the CO as well as the Button. The blinds fold.
Now TP A 4! to $80. He's aggressive, so this could be TT+/AQs/AKo.
He's sitting on $800+ & is winning, most of which came with him from another table.
I am perceived as tight & not as aggressive as one should be. Would this be a good spot to make a stand against the team & 5!? If so, how much?
I started with ~$500 & there is now $135 in the pot after the rake.
I was thinking TP A might very well have a higher PP since his 4! wasn't ridiculous.
I was also concerned that since his partner was in the hand, that he may call if I raise to give TP A protection. I thought calling here would allow me to see a flop..........unless TP B 5!.
