You quickly IM a regular in the game and ask him about the 4 bettor, "Is XXXXXX, good or bad?" He responds with "def not bad." [/ QUOTE ] Anybody have any moral issues with using IM with your buddies at the tables? |

Moral issues aside, IM'ing a buddy and gaining info during a hand totally violates the one player to a hand rule. You feel you don't have to defend yourself about it. That's funny. So, in other words, there's 2 sets of rules about the integrity of poker - live and online. I'd like to see your reaction when the guy sitting next to you at the table asks the buddy next to him what he knows about you. I'm guessing you'd have a problem with it. Hypocritical. |

What are your feelings on pokertracker and datamining? [/ QUOTE ] By asking that does it mean you feel IM'ing is the same as using PT? What's your thoughts about IM'ing back and forth while playing a hand? Does it violate the rule, or is it different because it's hidden? I'm guessing you've done it, have no problem with it and correlate it with PT as justifiable. BTW - there was a thread about Party not being able to be mined in the future. Not sure how accurate it is. |

[/ QUOTE ] You are wrong. You cant possibly compare live poker to internet poker in this way. Information has become an accepted part of the game. Pokertracker, datamining, pokerstove, pokerace, notes files etc. I remember an article Negraneu wrote a while back about him and three of his friends sitting around playing omaha on his account sharing the decisions. Spliting buy ins, sharing accounts, sharing player info etc is a part of internet poker. As long as there is no collusion, as far as Im concerned they can check their notes, IM Aunt Bula or call the Hustler for information on my play. Its all fair game on the net. |

You are wrong. [/ QUOTE ] No Steve, I'm right about the distinction existing. You've plainly stated there's 2 sets of rules about the one player to a hand rule. Online doesn't hold itself to the same level of integrity live play does. You won't like the phrasing of that but, based on everything you said, that is a true statement. You clarified that. I never thought it was okay and get pissed when I know guys are obviously IM'ing in the middle of a hand. I got it now. It's not okay live, but is online. I'm surprised and disappointed of the attitude and acceptance of it, but have no desire to swim against the tide here. No problem. |

[/ QUOTE ] I fully expect someone to ask questions about me. I don't care if its at lunch or during the hand. It really wouldn't even get me to flinch. The one person to hand rule is a joke online. We need to be more worried about more than one person to an account, but apparently that is legal too. I did read your post, I read all your posts and usually agree with them. I disagree with this one, but since it says about the same thing to roy miami's I didn't think responding twice would be prudent. |

[/ QUOTE ] As far as the IM'ing , etc, after reading what Steve G. wrote, it's obviously accepted by many on here so that's that. Guys do it, no one cares, so f*ck it. I obviously didn't realize good players accepted it. I thought it was only for the weasels. It's obviously not and doesn't change anything. I'm no crusader for lost causes. Now guys are asking me my thoughts on PT and mining. It's funny. Who gives a sh*t? But tell me, why would you expect someone to ask about you? At lunch or at the table? I'm guessing you don't smell or dress funny, so what's the reason? I asked someone a while back who said he knew him if you were John Vorhaus and he said no. I'd guess he could expect to be recognized at the table. But JV from 2+2 who isn't smelling, yelling, looking funny or Vorhaus, who would give a f*ck? Seriously. |
