Fwiw, its actually allowed what Krantz, White and fwf are doing.
On the other hand i dunno if i would like it, if i was tie.
But u know, its online poker, gotta see this more pragmatic instead of starting big [censored] ethical discussions.

Lee Jones once said on his blog something - imo very interesting - about unenforcable rules.
If i would have a problem with that kind of stuff fwf and co are "accused" of, i´d just stop playing online.
Everybody basically knows whats going on.

It would be a very different story if tie asked fwf who he is playing. But well,tbh, even then i wouldnt trust some online person, when there are a few hundo k´s on the line

Edit: And btw, i agree very much with curtains. I do not see that big of an advantage

while i think it might be borderline unethical, i couldn't care less if the situation was similar to what happened, i.e. some vv good players teaming up, playing on one of their OWN accts. now say the acct was of a known fish, a big loser, and that he had agreed with two vv good players to team up and play together. THAT would be [censored] up obv, bc you're not playing the fish you thought, but the fish and two experts (who would undoubtedly be making all the decisions). i realize however a situation like this hasn't happened yet (that we know about). fwiw i would hate playing on a "team" personally, as no two players have the EXACT same playing style and i could see some big disagreements in some pretty big pots. that's not good.

This does happen. Except with just one expert instead of two experts and the fish on the account.

It's totally unethical, just like cheating on your taxes, and just about everyone who's successful is unethical.

Long been established there is no one player per hand rule online.

Coaching is so standard nowadays, real time sweat is a great learning tool. I frequently chop action with a friend and talk strategy for an hour session.
