Open Statement to MSSUNSHINE

I would like to make some brief points to you about what I think of the Husband and Wife thing playing together.


First and foremost it is completely unethical for you to play online poker at the same table with your wife or husband. For the simple fact that you both have a vested interest in the outcome of your session. I could really care less that you both have two seperate bankrolls. By law a husbands and wives money Are the same. Therefore the interest is the same. You lose she loses. She wins you win and vice versa. It is completely obsurd for you say otherwise. When you object to these facts you only make yourself look worse.


Second, There is a very big difference between live poker and online poker with respect to collusion. I dont understand why you have failed to recognize this but it upsets me. In online poker your coullsion goes largely undetected if you do it the right way. In a live game several cameras and floorstaff have both a visual and audible account of what is happening. You could yell out your hole cards to your husband and no one would even know you did if you wee playing online. You could never do that in a live came though.


Third, By failing to realize your stance on this issue is causing you more harm than good you are only hurting yourself. Fine keep playing online with your wife, but your pride will be flushed down the toilet with your reputation. Not that your reputaion is that great anyway now.


My advice to you would be to just stop playing with your wife at the same table. If you dont You deserve all the crtizism in the world and NO ONE I mean no One will back you up on this issue.


PEACE BROTHER

You indicate "By law a husbands and wives money Are the same". How I wish this were true. At my house my wife's money is HERS and my money, (what little whe allows me to have), is OUR money.

"At my house my wife's money is HERS and my money, (what little whe allows me to have), is OUR money."


Then you dont realize how good you have it.

At my house my wife's money is HERS and my money is HERS.

My wife backs me up, but I'm sorry to lose your support.


Your comments on how much easier it is to catch collusion at live poker as oppossed to internet poker shows a shocking lack of understanding of how poker works.

Hi


It is actually much harder for a husband/wife to collude on-line, especially one which the site is aware of. For example pokerstars know MS and Rapunzel are playing in same house. Any suspicous activity is easy for stars to trace, i.e. pot building, sly folds etc. How? Because the site knows the hole cards, can analyse betting patterns etc.


In a B & M it is easier. Firstly the hands aren't known and in a lot of casinos players realtionships, financial or otherwise aren't known.


That said, players have a choice. Play elsewhere or if you think behaviour is suspect contact support at the site.

A voice of reason in the wilderness.

I play both live and internet but because the closest Casino is a 2 hour drive and working I play more often on the internet. I don't see how anyone can dispute the fact that it is easier to cheat on line sitting next to each other and able to converse at will than at a casino..Of course cheating goes on at live games but to infer that it is easier to cheat live than on the internet is being dishonest. You and your wife may not collude but if "friends" etc are allowed to play at the same internet table sitting next to each other?? Give me a break!!!

You do understand the site operaters would see every hand you cheated on?
