cheating

2 of my buddies play MTT online together. 1 account - they just make the decisions together on 1 hand (so no table collusion).

do you consider this cheating?

what about in cash games?

Nope. Not online. At B&M yes because that means there are two players to get "reads" on any physical tells (two sets of eyes). Online, it is not as big of a deal and there really isn't anyway to stop it, so no.

No big deal here..

3 of us get together to put our heads together on MTT's.

We do alot better than when we play by ourselves.

If it's cheating at B&M, then it's cheating online as well, whether or not it can be stopped. One player to a hand.

I've done this with a freeroll with my buddies while drinking. The highest I've place in a free roll was 71st. With my buddies it was 21st. I don't know if we cheated or not b/c at times only one of us was accually paying attention. OTOH when we were faced with a big decision we all would be thinking about it. I would say that its in that grey area!!

No kidding you do better when it's a team effort lol. Of course it's cheating.

give me a break... if some guy wants to ask his buddies for advice playing online he can do so all he wants for all I care

it's not anymore cheating than playing with an open copy of TOP or HEFAP, IMO

Of course it's no big deal but the criteria for cheating is not whether you care or not, it's still cheating.
