Normally I would never stray from PStars and Full Tilt but I figured why not deposit a little cash back on AP and give it another whirl. I had my money out of there after the superuser fiasco but I was playing real well before that happened. So I decided to deposit yesterday and I checked out some of the new features and here's what I found:
Absolute Buddy
Sounds like a solid feature at first glance but does any one else get the sinking suspicion that this will just lead to collusion in there future? If everyone and their friends are playing at ring games that could easily be IM'ing each other and stating their hands and how they are going to play it. This would obviously be more beneficial in tournament (i.e. systematic blind stealing, etc.) play but could definitely make an impact in ring games and sit in goes.
If AP is pushing for people to make more friends via this new tool, I can just imagine this getting even worse. This obviously means that they aren't checking tables for the same group of ip's heading into the same table/sng. Normally this type of behavior is enforced and regulated against if it reaches a certain level of regularity. I just found it very interesting.
Thoughts?
