I guess I dont see why you cant tell El D your cards and have him make the decision for you. There is not a one player to a hand rule online.

This is exactly what I was going to say. There are rules that exist in B&M that players seem to assume exist online. One of these is the 1-player-to-a-hand rule. Another is the idea of computer assistance. (Ranging from weak stuff like odds calculators to PokerTracker up to very controversial things like PokerEdge.)

My definition of an 'ethical' game is one in which the rules are clearly stated, enforced, and symmetric between players. If you get to talk to ElD during a hand, you'll have an advantage over me. But if you got to talk to him before the hand, that's an advantage too; we're not disallowing advantages, just "unfair" advantages.

I feel like people are confusing 'rules' and 'ethics' again. A lot of stuff in this thread is unethical. Just because there are no laws/rules against it yet doesn't make something ethical.
