Is This Insider Trading?

[Shoe]

Others have nailed the points in question pretty good in this thread. I think the real question that remains is this, what did you hear at the poker table? Specifics are required in this situtation to determine if it is insider trading or not (Usually, if you just overhear a conversation it is not insider trading). Unless one of your examples are an exact match to your situation, then it's a definite grey area. PM if needed.
