[b]Rule, convention or what?[/b]

I'm not sure these answers really address the issue.

There's no rule against seeking advice on how to play your cards. It's impossible to prevent people from talking together on Skype, or on the phone for that matter, or IM. What's the point of calling it unethical or tainting it by calling "collusion"?

Are you saying, "We know it happens and we can't do anything about it, but we'd never do it?"

And if so, why? As one respondent points out, hearing advice while playing could be confusing and counter-productive. In some circumstances, one might gain an advantage over an opponent who was listening to advice. Like everything else in poker, what looks positive can turn negative pretty fast.

At this stage of online poker and tech development, we should all be on the same page about what's right and what's wrong. I can't see anything at all wrong with having a friend, or several friends, watch a game I'm playing and offer opinions about what I might do. Their opinions are just that. They have no magic power and following them is no more likely to bring about my opponent's defeat than following my own.:)
