I have invited all my team to use messenger during the event (RED-DOG has declined
). I think we will have some inter-team banter. Suggest to each other how aggressive we should be, keep each other updated on our progress and chips stacks. Congratulate each other on our hard faught vicotry, that sort of thing.
We are not going to be cheating, all of the above I assume is acceptable..
However, regards the rest of the discussion: I don't think there is that much of an edge to be gained if you were sharing cards actively trying to cheat. Yes there would be an advantage, but personally I think it would be better if your team was spread accross most of the tables rather than having a concentration on 1 table where your prospective chips are reduced.

I have read and digested all of the posts on this subject -- and being whilst inexperienced in the concept of team poker I have a few observations
1. It is impossible, repeat impossible, to police collusion either via the site in play or other electronic devices
2. Poker is a game of essentially lying to your opponents, so do the people who say no collusion really mean it (no offence it's human nature)
3. If you can't police it then you have to allow it, because even if 90% of the people are honest and don't (except for the so called slow play) the other 10% have a huge advantage, so level the field and allow anything.
4. I personally think that sharing hole cards will feck up your whole game and mess with your head.
my view for what it is worth and I will take guidance from my Team Capitano (being the subservant person that I am)

No problem here.... but as an aside, entering the comps when you have no intention of playing in them is also cheating IMO.
But thats for another discussion, I will be on msn to my team mates purely because I always have it switched on. But cards will not be mentioned.

As the senior player in team Donkments, I should point out,poker is a game played by individuals,and s such i'll be playing that way. I could not contemplate any other way.
If others chose to use electroic comunication between each other, so be it,just makes it toughter for me
My eyes are firmly focassed on the live event for the lowest scorer from each team. sorry team-mates, that's my doctrine, and i'm sticking to it.
come on the Donks.

you can discuss tactics if you want but no chip dumping or discussing hole cards.

Soft play?
Squeezing opponents out?
Manipulating pots?

FFS ... everyone just do what they want, they will anyway so whats the point of discussing it, those that want to play fairly will, and those that dont wont ... let each teams conscience make the decisions
