Yeah, sounds like a huge joke of a game that favors the team which figures out the most effective way to collude. Your explanation to the contrary is frivolous.

The format would actually be much better if you did allow signaling and more obvious methods of team play.

This game is poker like chinese checkers is checkers.
The team that cheats best undetected should be a huge
favorite.

There was one of these in Moscow a couple of times, with teams from each country. Collusion between members of a team was of course OK. It fell apart, amusingly, when two _separate_ teams colluded with each other to screw over a third. Then half the people who had been happily colluding all week started going "oh wow, this is really low, how could you do this to poker".

In other words it was a complete [censored] joke, just like this will be.

It was StPetersburg and three teams Russia, Ukraine and Baltic States colluded together. Party Poker obv edited it out in the tv coverage.

Thanks for the corrections. I knew it happened, but wasn't too clear on the details.

Is Donnie Wahlberg good at poker? If I was from Boston I would feel real good about him, Paul Darden, and Bernard "I love to creepily kiss my family's picture" Lee supporting me.

For example, if you're in the big blind and your partner raises, is your partner wanting to play a good hand or is your partner wanting you to come over the top so he or she can give you some chips? If someone calls your partner's raise, should come over the top and try to take it away, or get out of the way and let your partner handle it?

I would be a good teammate and just do whatever he’s signaling me to do.

If you misread your partner's intentions, you or your partner can lose a lot of chips.
