thats how everyone should be playing this game, whether they do or not is another thing. me and alex have joined on msn but can guarantee you now we wont be using it to share hole cards. I invited ppl when i thought it was anything goes.

It's also about me as well as the team though.  Your team can do well, but it also looks at individual scores to decide who wins the prizes.

It's not impossible to agree with your team to alter the payouts to mitigate against this and encourage teamwork.

I agree.  Try and ensure that two specific players in the team score maximum points and agree to split the prize money across the team, etc.

Bollocks to that though, I don't even like the rest of my team...  

















(Only joking, love you all)

Having read the various views here mine is as follows

Allow team play (soft against a team mate) but NOT electronic communication during an event..MSN/PM/text etc...this is down to individual's conscieneces of course as it is impossible to police

I thought poker sites had advanced software with algorithms (whatever they are) and stuff which means it's easy to catch people cheating

Kev ate all the algorithms before he went on his diet.

[TightEnd]

ok point taken, i meant police directly a phone call from A to B, which sort of thing I hope is avoided by all

[Graham C]

Just play, see how you get on

[RichEO]

Well I won't be using msn, text, or anything else during the game, and I won't be soft-playing anyone, end of.

Hopefully you won't bust everyone in your team

Team Northern Boys will not be using PM or MSN...if other people want to tell hole cards etc its impossible to stop them.  I for one (along with my team) will not share hole cards or dump chips.

Would be nice for team captains to state there intentions before the kick off tonight!

Team Donkaments concur

[Wardonkey]

We need a statement from Kev, so we all know where we stand.

All players can then be made aware of the conditions via the chatboxes at the beginning of the tourney.

I realise I opened this can of worms rather late in the day, but better late than never...

Agreed.

There is a fine line up registered already and if it is anything like the Blonde league games we are in for a great night.

best of luck to all.
