I strongly avoid playing at the same table as good friends.

I strongly avoid playing at the same table as good friends. [/ QUOTE ] I have a couple that play similar stakes to me, so it's unavoidable sometimes, especially if we have the same guys buddy-listed. Sharing reads is fine IMO, same with discussing strategy AFTER the hand is played. Anything more than that is unethical. The idea of softplaying your friends is ridiculous. I want to bust them so bad. |

i think if youre out of the hand, there's nothing wrong with discussing strategy as your friend is playing a hand, so long as you don't reveal what cards you had or anything of that nature
assuming you just folded preflop, if you continued in the hand postflop and say folded on the turn and its HU vs donkey on the river, i dont think it would be fair to be giving advice there |

If Greenstein gave my opponent advice *during* the play of a hand I was in I would be furious. Its clearly unethical and illegal. I'm not sure where you read about this. I remember one hand I saw at the Borgata where a player was about to much his cards at showdown until his friend who was sitting right beside him (not at the table though) pointed out that it was actually a split pot. The other player in the hand became a bit angry, the floor was called, and the friend was instructed to leave the area. Usually you should worry if something is legal or not before you decide if its unethical (in poker lol).

What about something like you fold, friend stays in pot, hu or multi, flops some sort of draw and gets put all in or decies to move in, bottom line is that before doing so he asks if you want a piece of his action on this one hand? Ethical/Unethical?

All are completely unethical in my opinion.

it seems like there are a lot of "fine lines" when it comes to online poker - that's just the nature of the Internet, i guess. my own views are that so long as both players aren't colluding, i.e. sharing cards or making fishy raises to push other players out of pots, most objective advice is fair game.

IMO, also, there is a LARGE grey area for A + B blending together, which is probably why I feel the way I do

Its not really that what your friend is doing is unethical, its more that it *could* be unethical and viewed as collusion. If I was another player in the hand I wouldn't care, but if I was the one offering the bet and someone else at the table objected, I would realize I have to give up on the bet.
