WPT Executive Tour Director Matt Savage is not one to mince words.

On Twitter Friday, he addressed an aspect of poker he believes to be collusion.

"Pretty surprised that many people think that it’s OK for players to discuss going all in blind and doing it as it’s clearly what we would call 'collusion.'"

He was addressing a tweet from Four Champions Club, which read:

"4 players were all in BLIND for their tournament lives in level 1 of the Champions Club Main Event!!  Would you have been all in too?"

Jason Southwell offered: "It may be collusion by definition, but if it's very early in the tourney, it's all in good fun, and everyone at the table agrees, I don't see the problem.  Sometimes letter of the law can get in the way of good fun."

Bobby MFs Jr. writes: "Problem is that out in the parking lot 4 players met up, they agreed to all go all in on the 1st hand which would clearly give the winner an early advantage in the tourny having a 4x starting stack on hand #2 & since all 4 of the players already had a deal made amongst them…."

And Chris Hinchcliffe wholeheartedly disagrees with the notion that this is collusion.

"Collusion: Secretive cooperation or deceitful agreement in order to deceive others, which may involve unions, wage fixing, kickbacks, or misrepresenting the independence of the relationship between the colluding parties."
