Re: On Ghosting
A buddy of mine and I each play the Sunday morning $39 Satellite to the Sunday Million. If one of us qualifies, we get together at one of our houses, log on and play the tourney together. We split the buy in 50-50 and if we cash, split the winnings 50-50. We talk about the hands together during the tourney and it is a great way for us to learn together and try to improve our game. I would imagine there are a lot of lower limit donks like us doing the same thing.
Is this legal? I'd say per Stars, yes.
Is it ethical? I think that's the gray area.
If I knew others were doing the same thing, I'd have NO PROBLEM with it. I would think most of you ballas would appreciate that there are a lot of dead money players in the tourney like us. But our goal is to learn to play the game. I would also think that it is good for the game overall.
I'm having trouble figuring out how this is a)unethical and b)bad for the game.
Enlighten me...I'm willing to stop that practice if the consensus is that it is unethical.
What REALLY BOTHERS me is:
1. Staking multiple players and giving directions
2. Staking multiple players and taking over at a point
3. Multiple entries in the same tourney
