Message: [QUOTE="Lokhup, post: 1789579, member: 63651"] Let me make it clear that this isn't a practice I indulge in, as Makwa has been kind enough to point out. I'm trying to understand whether there's a real rule in "Internet Poker" against a player hearing (not necessarily even taking) advice from someone not in the game. Are we like tennis players, who are allowed no coaching from the sidelines? Or are we like football players, whose coaches throw the plays in and they follow instructions? And what sense does it make to ban something that is widely practiced and can't be detected, unless you can get people to pee in a bottle after winning like the Olympics? Thus my reference to drug legislation, which was in no way an endorsement of using, which not only fails to stop people from using drugs but by its very existence creates extra-legal forces to meet the demand and get super wealthy in the process. In other words it's useless and counter-productive. [/QUOTE]
