Oh no – we are getting into the same argument. There are many things you can say but one thing you cannot do in a tournament, when others may be affected, is tell what your hand is.

The fact that it has been done before, or “its not collusion” or “how do you know it affected the outcome” is IRRELEVENT.

Stars admit it is against their rules. There shouldn’t be any argument as to whether the rule is broken. The only argument is what is the penalty and on Stars for a 1st offence it is a warning. Most people seem happy with this.

But why do we keep getting comments like “it happens all the time”. The fact it happens a lot doesn’t somehow make it right or acceptable. Just report rule violations and hope the player doesn’t repeat it.
