Jamie Gold and the WSOP's willingness to let him discuss hands set back poker one year as I have had to penalize players 100 times for verbally disclosing their hands and showing cards.

Well lose the rule then. It is retarded that you can tell lies about your hand but not the truth. (Except for situations where more than one player is in a hand)

I guess if that was a rule than I would change it.

horrible rule anyway.

let a poker player say anything he wants to another poker player. that's poker. stop worrying about collusion. stop worrying about losers having their feelings hurt. just let the game do the work.

We worry about collusion so that the players do not have to.

how is it collusion for one player to say "I have a flush"
in a HU pot?
If they are partners then they could have signals or something u couldn't detect. The rule about no card showing and no declarations of what you have HU is moronic.

Because you are not heads up if there are other players in the tournament.

Matt,

If they wanted to chip dump, they would. It would be very simple.
Saying "I have a flush" is part of the psychology of the game. You might say it because you think the other guy won't believe you and he will call an overbet. It doesn't hurt any other player in the tournament.
