Good morning.
More information is needed before anyone can reply properly to that.
DYM's are tactically very different from cash games or MTT's. In a DYM there are all sorts of weird situations where normally we would contest the pot, but sometimes it is correct to fold, even if we have a premium hand which we think is almost certainly winning. And yes, there are also situations where players are colluding. It's hard to prove though, so good evidence is needed.
PS - pleased to see you won your last two DYM's, one late last night, the other early this morning.
There are all sorts of possible inferences we can draw from that, most of them (but not all) innocent.
In my personal view, we can never make a judgement of hanky-panky on the evidence of a single hand, we need a whole batch of them. There could be any number of innocent reasons for that play. (& some not so innocent ones).
PS - feel free to report any reasonable suspicions to Customer Care, though again, please don't make judgements on the basis of a single hand.
Yes, that's certainly one of the most obvious explanations.
One other explanation is a time out.
I also see beginner players betting turn and open folding rivers against me in cash games. Sometimes when I almost certainly have the losing hand.

It was a DYM, yes.
For all that, there remains a strong possibility that that is collusion. And Sky would quickly be able to establish whether that was indeed the case. There are plenty of hidden cards that would support that.
Because it is either truly terrible play by 1 or both. Or a chip dump. Because with the folder's stack size, he has played that as badly as is possible.
The vast majority of people who try and collude are incredibly bad at it
A peruse of the limited info available on Sharky (neither player is Opted In) does not suggest any pattern of the two players regularly sharing DYM tables.
