An idea...
The other day I played a freeroll with a friend, I was on table xxx he was on table yyy we were observing our mutual tables while we were playing.
We were also on the phone and narrating our hole cards and just basically talking strategy and options and pointing stuff out to each other.
We were not at the same tables so there was no cheating involved.
My question is have any of you done this before? There are certainly some merits to playing buddy poker. Especially if your friend is better or just a good poker player.
It's one thing to post hands and talk about them afterwards on a forum.
It's another to be getting some live feedback while your playing and having your skill and perception '' boosted'' by a better player live in the heat of the moment, kind of like having an instructor in the copilots seat.
I'm not advocating collusion (as the two would have to stop chatting if they ended up on the same table) or having the better player say dump this or raise that, just a poker discussion where one guy notices something about an opponent's action you didnt or vice versa and it gets burned into your brain live while its beeing put into practice as opposed to looking it over ''cold'' afterwards.
