I was playing on this live very loose very deep PLO $5-$5 blinds on our local casino 7 handed.

SB $2100  (new player have not played much with)

BB $5500 (semi regular)

UTG $7200 (regular )

UTG+1 $350 (recreational player)

HJ $500 (recreational player)

CO $9500 (regular)

BN $6000 (hero)

UTG opens $20,UTG+1 calls,HJ raises to $50, CO calls, BN (hero)calls,SB calls,BB raises to $250

UTG calls,UTG+1 raises to 350 and is all in, HJ calls living himself with $150,CO calls, BN folds, SB calls BB calls, UTG calls Total pot $2150

Flop 9c3d2c

SB bets $1750 and is all in BB folds,UTG calls, HJ calls $150 and is all in,CO calls, total pot $7550

UTG has $5100 left CO has him covered three other players all in.

Turn 6c

UTG checks,CO checks

River 8d

UTG checks, CO bets $30 UTG calls $30 and shows Jc7cxx, CO shows AcKcxx and wins the pot.

I know this guys are buddies and play table games together, I seen few other times when they check down on some spots that don’t make sense when heads up on a pot, but this time three other people were all in on the hand. when i asked the CO to explain his $30 bet into 7k+ pot he say that he dos not want to hurt UTG because they are friends.

Do you think they are cheating.
