they do play him sometimes, im pretty sure there's a hand in HSNL right now that Krantz played vs PA, genius played him recently too i think. Its just that game selection is super important HU.

i meant that this is a huge advantage for them playing as a team, againts 1, in "heads up" match, which supposed to be 1-on-1, and not 2-on-1 (maybe even more), and it's not like it is 2, 0.25/0.50 players,againts a 300/600 player.
it's like putting 2 of the best 20 chess players againts 1 Kasparov, i'm pretty sure they will put money in, if that kind of match was offered, and will beat him together.

It's totally unethical, just like cheating on your taxes, and just about everyone who's successful is unethical.

Just curious, are you against poker coaching as well? That seems to be the same thing and is very widespread and encouraged.

WoT

Re: Ethicality of High Stakes HU - DaEvila
 

just to be clear its not like they would put whitelime the super lag in and then tag fwf the super nit in for a completely different style. It was for the duration of most of the matches if advice was being given so it translated into a constant playing style if that helps.


And this goes on alot at high stakes so you should expect it. Not to say everyone does it. But its known krantz and whitelime live together so expect it and if you dont like it dont play. I think where it gets unethical is if I gave krantz my ahnuld account to play when noone would have any idea.

and yeah, what do you guys think poker coaching is? Sweating? same thing

both of these things are completely different than having a superteam of opinions

Re: Ethicality of High Stakes HU - DaEvila
 

it seems this is just an inherent risk of playing poker on the internet. when you sit down your agreeing to play a name not a face, and you have no idea who is behind the name, end of story. you dont like it dont put yourself in the position. seems fairly simple.

Re: Ethicality of High Stakes HU - DaEvila
 

ahnuld,

"I think where it gets unethical is if I gave krantz my ahnuld account to play when noone would have any idea."

If it's OK to play as a team, it's OK to play as someone else. Simple as that.

Re: Ethicality of High Stakes HU - DaEvila
 

what if you explicitly stated to your opponent that you have krantz and whitelime next to you and helping you? Im not saying that they put out that disclaimer, but its no secret and most of their opponents do know.
