[ba-poker] Ethical guidance needed

["Uncle Roger" <rogerc22(deleted the rest)>]

Here is my ethical question: Is it OK to have a friend look over my
shoulder while I play online, and to discuss  the hands with my
friend while I am playing them?

It seems to me that the "one player to a hand" rule is a casino rule,
not aimed at cheating but at preventing delay.

Also, since the rule is unenforeceable in the online context, I
assume I am playing  against  players who feel free to  collaborate
with friends.

Finally, playing with friends watching is a way to avoid the social
isolation of on-line poker.

What do you think?
