So two players with AQ and KK are from the same country ( Hungary) and they were playing on the CardsChat freeroll. Pre they all called 1bb and checked three streets and they both didn't play each other in the entire tournament

How does the pot stay that low with KK AQ and TT? Does seem unlikely.

Ok. There is passive play and there is checking with top/top or Overpair on the flop.

maybe you meant softplay which is the same thing as collusion

Its certainly highly unusual, that people dont want to bet even just a single street with TPTK or an overpair. But there was also a third player in the hand with TT. So either they were also part of the collusion, or it was just a case of weird play in a freeroll.

Hello, the whole thing looks pretty suspicious. But since it's in a freeroll, it could just be a bad play.
I have a question what actually happens to players who are not registered here and get the password from some site?

Nothing since they have not violated the TOS of the poker site. The people sharing passwords get banned from CC, if moderators can find out, who they are.

Isn't this a case to be reported to the poker room?? That doesn't exist... they get KK, AQ and TT and nobody raises pre-flop and checks until the river!?? 😕

OP could do that. But possibly the poker site would need a bit more evidence to go on than just a passively played hand in a freeroll. Also if the guy with TT was last to act, then both the other players could have been checking to induce, which is a completely legitimate play. The only thing, which would really scream softplay is, if AQ or KK checked back the river closing action, after no bets had gone in.

KK was the last to act on the flop turn and river so you can't check all the streets

A very strange situation. I've played a lot of freerolls, but I've never seen 3 players, with such strong hands, not make a single effective action.o_O

Its not against the rules of the game to check down an overpair but certainly a very unusual play.

they were scared to be eliminated early and played poorly.

I'm also inclined to think that they just wanted to get into the prize money, although I think with such cards I would not stand in their place

I also think that they were just out for itm and that's why they played so anxiously. But what bothers me more who weren't members of CC? So the password was passed on again. But which freeroll is it? It is difficult to say whether they had any agreements between each other, but it remains suspicious.

It was the daily platinum freeroll
