Message: [QUOTE="JulieK, post: 1233128, member: 56533"] Robert makes a good point. If I see the hole cards of the guy next to me, I have an advantage over the other players at the table, who don't see those cards. So it seems like I'm cheating. But, if I pick up a tell on the guy across the table, and am the only one who can see it, or am the only one who picks up on it - it's the same advantage over everybody at the table. Yet nobody would call that cheating. Nobody would say to the guy how to fix that tell, or announce the tell to the whole table. I admit, there is a difference of degree, because seeing someone's hole cards is a more powerful advantage than picking up a tell - but it seems to be the same principle. [/QUOTE]
