 May I thank all those who have responded to my post, and yes many of you may not like it or its tone but I'm glad the controversial nature of this has been discussed, albeit it rather brief and somewhat misguided.
 Secondly, may I add that who I may be, what I have achieved in life , be it on or off the felt, whether I played in this tournament or not, or even if I like the colour blue has no bearing on the reason behind my post. Also it would benefit no one on this forum if I were to reveal my name as I am not acquainted/associated with anyone on here, I'm just part time player with a love for the game.
 My post was intended to get players and the community alike to address such issues as this, as I feel it's a detriment to the game that we all call ‘poker’.
 As stated in my first post I thought the game of poker was about SITUATIONS and the information and conclusions YOU YOURSELF extract from what YOUR opponents are feeding (or not) YOU.
  I for one am saddened by the fact that many people on here "would do the same thing", is this the new game of poker?? where NOT only are you playing your opponents but  ‘Team X’ is too?
 I am all for research on players before any tournament, but, I believe the information from past tournaments can only give you a general idea of the players you are up against. How do you know what MOOD your opponent is in today without getting on the felt with them?? In the end we're all human and free will rules, so however 'player X' played in one tournament doesn't equate to 'player X' playing every single tournament the same way, after all, poker is about SITUATIONS..
  The difference lies here, the information you're receiving from someone watching a live feed (be it time delayed or not) is that YOU get to know EXACTLY how your OPPONENT is playing and that you can always make that crucial fold knowing that you will be privy to that information later, in days gone by you had to PAY TO SEE or forever question yourself if you made the correct play, which as we all know can be a major turning point in any players tournament. (and very few players will change up their style within the half hour or so unless a major development takes place)
  I certainly don't want to see streaming stopped, I'd personally not rather see hole cards myself but what will be will be..
 And now to my real issue…
 Alex.. I'm not disputing the fact that you played well, not at all, may I congratulate you on your win and well played. My major issue is that you INTENTIONALLY set out exploit the fact it was being streamed. Whether you cheated or not, YOU still had the mentality to PREMEDITATE COLLUSION. The sad fact is you did it out in the open for the world to see via twitter...Well, barring some of your friends it seems..... Epic fail dude..
Thus you have my point of discussion… Where does a player draw the line?? Do we employ every exploit and trick in the book, e-book and non books there is to win?? or do we try promote the game as a SPORTING GENTLEMAN’S game and try assure those who want to join the poker community that it's not full of cheats and scam artists? After all, the money at stake is there to be won by the players participating who paid entry to play, no one else…  TY and GL all

Sometime whilst during the live stream of the DTD Monte Carlo 250K guaranteed I decided to some research on the players left in.... and then I came across this, low and behold, on that wonderful place called 'twitter' ...
 Quote " Watch the stream and text me all significant hands / tendancies etc pls! Ty xxx "

 http://twitter.com/#!/cambridgealex

 Now to me .... Isn't poker about getting YOUR OWN READS on the opposition you're playing?Huh?Huh?Huh?Huh?Huh?

 I don't know what anyone else thinks of this but I see it as collusion. So you sir ...ARE A COWARD, and to another extent...A CHEAT....

 And if this post gets Deleted then I know you all accept cheating as part of the new game.......
