I play every Friday night with a group of friends. Dealer's choice.

Tonight, I got really ticked off about a hand and I would like to hear some outside opinions.

The game: King Little - 5 card draw pot game where K's and lowest card in your hand are wild. Game ends when only one person plays for the pot or it's folded around to the dealer.

The pot: Fairly large.

Player A loses a couple of large pots previous in same game. Discussion ensued as to whether pot should just be split and move on - it had grown exponentially. Player A was the only objector and didn't even have the money to pay his previous loss (the "pot" was his IOU). Player B acted just before player A and they are buddy buddy.

So, we play another round for the pot and it is folded around to player B. Player B decides to play in third to last position. Player A folds and, if the final player folds, player B wins the pot and game over. The last player folds and says "I have a good hand, but I fold so they can 'settle up'." Meaning the IOU will just be ignored and it was. Normally the final player would call in that situation - I guaranteed it. Player B is not really a good poker player at all.

Anyway, I got irate bc that played out to me like some sort of collusion and certainly something less than a real poker hand i.e. people trying to help player A cut their losses. It was a large pot so that sort of manipulation was pretty easy. Besides, nobody at the table had the dough on them to cover the pot in the first place.

So, any thoughts or opinions out there?

I objected and left the game.
