Sure it makes sense. He's admitting to team play. If me and my friends playing out of a shared bankroll build large pots preflop and put a ton of pressure on you post flop, we can check it down once we get HU we've got a rudimentary plan for collusion. I hope we don't discuss whether or not this is a profitable way to collude, but basically you have regulars in the game who are acting in concert to in their minds build a better game. As individuals pokerwise, many of the hands on your list make no sense to play this way.

How to play in such game?
You need to understand how your starting hand, position, and relative position to the raiser match up to the action you expect in the pot
when you choose to play a hand-- the hand will play differently until you fold. You're basically going to get put to a number of hard decisions as the hand goes along, so hands that flop big draws and strong leading hands are the best. Hitting sets in a game like this is good.

I'm a regular there and I highly doubt there's anyone colluding in the 20. Who do you think is colluding and why? Shoot me a pm if you like.
No idea why foxwoods came up, our OP is from Denver and it would be a much shorter drive to our local casinos.
