The team event starts tomorrow and the only guidance is this...

1. blonde Poker and Virgin Poker realize that team competition offers the possibility of team members colluding together. As this competition is open only to blonde Forum members we hope that it will be played within the good spirit and intentions that we are used to on the forum. Any teams suspected of colluding will be disqualified from the league for that month.


I've been thinking about this and I think we need clearer guidelines.

Obviously sharing info on hole cards 'in-play' is collusion, but there are many ways teams can tables to either advantage which do not include this.

I'm looking forward to these comps and think they will create interesting strategic problems. I'm worried however that different people will have different ideas about what is and is not acceptable.

For me the answer is to allow all forms of team play bar the sharing of hole cards, in fact it would be easier to police if you just made it 'no holds barred'. For many this goes against the grain, we would be using tools usually only acceptable to cheats
and I've not supported team poker before because of these problems. I think team poker is a totally different game and should be treated as such.

Whatever is decided, it needs to be made clearer before we start.

as long as people dont tell others of specific hole cards or send messages saying i have a monster etc i am happy that people talk tactics and avoid stealing team mates blinds etc.

IMHO   msn and pm should not be used , but soft playing against your teammates at the table is acceptable.

Agreed as long as everyone has the morals to actually not use it we should be fine!

i think we have to trust people, i wont be using it if every1 agrees that it is unfair.

Softplay is totally acceptable, it would be impossible not to.

Agreed, but how can this be monitored?

Like Wardonkey, am not a great fan of online Team events, however imho I believe the Blonde spirit will prevail for the majority of us that is why I am happy to take part.

I'd prefer not to trust the 'blonde spirit'.

When the prize is money and cheating is easy then people will cheat. We'd like to think that this is not likely on our friendly forum, and indeed it may be less likely than in other circumstances.

I'd prefer to remove the element of doubt by saying 'anything goes'.

if people wish to resort to cheating by communication then they will have to live with their conscience. any victory they obtain will be forever tainted. i will trust other blondes until they prove to be untrustworthy.
