Reported for collusion
Tuesday: +$948
I played exactly 30 Sit n Gos with buy-ins of $100+9, $105+9, and $200+15. I am quite pleased with the final result, although there was a situation in my final SNG that threw me off a little.
Here's the situation: I was at the bubble of a $215 SNG and there was another player there from Germany who was chatting it up with me in German. I was responding in German, which is a big mistake because I just had to fight to get my chat back a few days ago. Anyway, that's not what the story is about.
To make a long story short, a hand came up where I had JJ and raised it 3x BB. The small stack immediately pushed and then this certain German player (big stack) re-pushed all in. There is no way in hell I was going to call this bet on the bubble. The problem is that as I am pressing the Fold button, he tells me he has QQ! Why would he do that? That put me in a really awkward situation. I knew I needed to fold, but now he's making it look like we are playing together. I folded, he won the hand and the guy who bubbled was PISSED. I can honestly understand him, even though he still would have bubbled had I called. He said that he reported us for collusion, which is really not cool for me. The last thing I want is to get my account red-flagged.
A very similar situation once happened to me (*hint hint* Seb) and needless to say I was incredibly ticked back then as well. Why would someone announce their hand in the chat box??? And why am I the one who looks like he is in on it??? Wow I'm getting mad just writing about it.
If any of you are in a hand with me, do me a favor and keep your cards to yourself! Thank you!

Im still very sorry about that situation , but since then i cant get on a solid way , i'm losing nearly evrything i'm playing , today i ended up 19th of 50 in a poker tournament in wiesbaden , after 1,5 hours , with the very best hand beeing AJo , followed by KQ and A9 , the blinds there increase rapidly , so there was no way to win something . It was a nice tourney only 75€ buy in with freeze out mode so it was worth a try but i have a bad run of cards and i hope that it will end soon ,
i saw there are new guaranteed tournaments i like to play .
See you soon ,

PS : i opened a blog account only for this post !
Is there a rule, that I am not allowed to tell you my cards? I often tell my opponents, that I have 72o and they can call me if they want. ;)

It's like showing your cards to the table in a live game. You may give somebody valuable information against an opponent - e.g. I hold QQ and you show me that you have Q2. I now know there'S only one Q left.
More worse if you exchange this information in acritical situation at a tournament (like the bubble). That couls easily be called collusion as you may survive and another player busts little later.
And to make it the worst: Talking in german. If they would talk russian or french or whatever I would be pissed too and assume possible collusion!
Thank you for the comments, guys.
@Seb: I have no doubt that you will return to winning. Your game is very solid, so unless you have made big changes that are affecting your results, it will not take long for you to return to winning ways.
@Feroc: I certainly would not have minded if he told me he had 72o :) But as Shadow said, the critical part about this situation was the bubble factor.
However, so far so good. I can log into my account, although I do have a funny feeling that big brother is keeping a close eye on me :)
But there is a different between showing you my cards and telling you what I have (no one says that it has to be the truth).
Oh well, I don't think that anything will happen to you.
