Default On Ghosting

I do not think that getting sweated by a better player is unethical really, given that there is not, and has never been, and likely never will be a precedent for 1 player to a hand in online poker. People need to stop using live as a frame of reference for online poker. The fact is, they are just 2 different beasts in this day, and I do not see why we need to say "well x should happen online, because it happens live."

Anyways, I'm willing to be convincned I am wrong, so discuss.

I happen to agree with you but this:

is a poor explanation as to why you feel something is not unethical.

I agree that it is fine, I doubt I could be convinced otherwise.

I see nothing wrong with ghosting, and can't see myself ever being convinced otherwise

I don't know what ghosting is, but while I have no problem giving/receiving advice during a hand, there is also the JJ factor where its pretty easy to essentially multiaccount via telling people what to do (is it no longer multiaccounting if you hire child labor to press the buttons for you? it's a thin line)

but I also really don't see a solution to it, so I dunno

I agree with Ansky and co., "ghosting" (I learned a new word, yay!) is fine by me, and in fact like the best way to teach/learn.

I also agree that it's not unethical to do something online just because it is unethical to do it live (e.g. I wouldn't ask to see opponents' cards at showdown live every time if they would prefer to muck, but I'm damn sure checking online).

Back to 'ghosting', I am however uncomfortable with the idea that one player buys another into an online MTT and "ghosts" him when the person giving the directions is (1) in the MTT himself, (2) doing this with multiple players in said MTT or (3) clear that he's not going to back the player in future events if the player doesn't follow his "advice".

But that's something else all together and there's no logical reason to ban ghosting (if such a thing we even possible) because of this. 'One person to a hand' isn't a part of online poker and I have no quarrel with that.

I believe that it is highly unethical.
