Default Re: A level headed discussion about Implicit Collusion, 2p2, and AP

[ QUOTE ]
Implicit collusion is rife in life in general, not just online poker. You get it at brick and mortar for the same reasons you get it online, and you get it in business for the same reason you get it in poker.

AP's calling someone who already worked for them their independent outside auditor is pretty rich. More like, "Here's your chance to get yourself fired. Now write a report!"

You are right, Blarg, implicit collusion is everywhere in the world. I think that the key to avoid being hurt by it is to exercise some social intelligence when entering into relationships. If you enter into a relationship where you are giving up your right to have any say other than the termination of the relationship, you are seriously screwing up. What's more, you are leaving yourself vulnerable to exploitation, loss of control over your environment, or just plain being taken for granted.

I think this is the situation that the vast majority of 2p2 online poker pros have found themselves in with regard to this latest episode. We've seen that movie before, as well, with potty and the affiliates and we'll prolly be seeing it again in the future.
