I have a list of pokerish blogs/sites I make a point of scrolling through at least once a week. Among them is ESPN\’s Poker club, mainly because reading Bernand Lee\’s tournament recaps are a guilty pleasure. Today, I was somewhat surprised to see Paul Wasicka\’s new article about, well, to be somewhat hyper-technical, uh, cheating.
It includes this basic premise:
A joint session is simple: You sit at the same computer with a friend and make the decisions together, splitting profits and losses.
better yet, change one word:
A joint session is simple: You sit at the same table with a friend and make the decisions together, splitting profits and losses.
I mean, I know that this happens with the internet form of poker, hell, I even know people who have done it, but at it\’s core, I think it\’s a pretty clear violation of the stated (or unstated) rules of poker. Am I wrong?
