I have no problem with splitting action; these stakes are getting sick and it's actually the smart thing to do. My only problem with this whole thing is the simple fact that people who are supposed to be good are teaming up vs donks. It's a joke. If I ever played that high and I found out that the person I was playing was teaming up, I would probably stalk them and beat them within an inch of their life (especailly with the amount of money involved). Did Whitelime and Krantz team up when they both went on that super rush a couple of months ago? Did CTS team up too? If I was perkysmerky, I would be looking for the best bat that Dick's Sporting Goods carrys.

For those that see nothing wrong with this: You sit down to play tie53 HU. He takes your roll. You later find out that PA and The Terrorist were with tie53 and making decisions togather. You ok with that? What's the difference between this and what HIV did vs Gildwulf? I guess FWF cant beat a donk HU so he needs help. Pretty damn sad

well you see, helping a fish is VERY wrong, but helping a good player is ok. makes perfect sense

I can't edit my post but since there seems to be some confusion: I don't care or have a problem with taking action, I am focusing on tag teaming some random guy.

BK: Care to elaborate a bit?

I don't think that having somebody help you play is unethical.

i don't see why anyone would hold this opinion unless there is a misunderstanding of semantics of something, it is definitely unethical imo, especially when the other person can't see it, and especially at HSNL HU matches.

so many better people to pick then the terroist but i agree. if i was sitting to play some high stakes poker against a mark like roland de wolfe for example and found out he was being joined by an array of his friends(like PA) who were making desicions as a group i dont think i would see it as being too fair. maximising your edge is one thing but this is crossing the line into jjprodigy terriorty

OP - the HSNL crew will outnumber you everytime. yes it is unethical and they all would start crying if it happened to them

Jman got caught out the other week too doing it, typing his hand into what he thought was MSN/AIM etc. so the questiony ou should be asking is who isn't doing it
