is this considered cheating?
 

If me and two friends went in together online and all three discussed every decision we made. Remember, We are not playing on seperate accounts on the same table. We are all playing infront of one computer with one account, just splitting the profit. If this is considered cheating what kind of punishment would we be looking at. Thanks in advance.

That is a silly idea. Three people playing one poker hand is crazy. Y'all would end up fighting like monkeys.

3 people splitting the profits = not much money

Personally I'm against this. I think it should be one player to a hand. I know there are lots of people around here who IM other players the situation in the middle of the hand and ask for advice, and to me thats just not kosher. Even when I'm helping someone learn to play the game or giving a friend advice, I wont give him my advice until after hes made his decision.

Actually we have done this before and it worked out really well. Our games compliment eachother very well, and we have all been friends for years so there is no fighting or bickering. But IS IT CHEATING?

Re: is this considered cheating?
 

Yeah. It is cheating. One player to a hand.

Would you ever get caught. Hell na.

Re: is this considered cheating?
 

No, it is not cheating.

Try searching Paul Phillips' blog. There was a debate on this earlier.

It really doesn't give you an unfair advantage, and its completely unenforceable online. Most sites do not list this as against their policies.

It's not really cheating--just kind of sad and lame.

On the poker channel in the UK they have a show called "The Poker Godfather" where a pro goes to an online players home and gives advice on how to play hands during a tournament. I don't think the site would allow this if they considered it against the rules.

It's not cheating at all.
