..."Live poker and Online Poker are 2 different things. imo"

and they are different how?

or. rather. if youre playing online its ok to have another person play the tournament for you? perhaps finish the tournament for you?

if youre playing a live tournament its not ok to have someone play for you because you would be barred from the tourney, lose you buy in, and, never be able to return to that casino again?

you mean different like that?

First let me say that I don't condone cheating. I think cheaters are scum and should be tortured. I HATE CHEATERS!!!

1. In live poker there's a 1 person to a hand rule. Online there isn't. 2 or more people could be sitting in the same room making the decisions for 1 acct that's in a tourney. 2 people could be talking on a phone, using an IM, using 2way/direct connect radios while 1 of them is playing.

2. Online, people use computer programs to help them make their decisions. I have never seen anyone playing in a casino use Poker Tracker, PAHUD or any other computer program to help them make a decision on a hand.

There are many other differences but these are 2 that come to mind right now.
