This pretty much 100% sums up how I feel about the whole ghosting thing. I don't like it (it being "full on ghosting"), but if it's allowed by the poker sites, then it's well within a player's right to do it.

Ya I see no problem with this at all. When I bought pieces of Straate to play in some 300/600 games he used camtasia with everyone who had a piece of him, and was chatting about all the hands and what different situations.

Well it seems that the majority rule and nothing is wrong with ghosting, fair enough but lets see what you say when you lose a major pot against someone and then it comes out that some high stakes pro basically told them what to do.

to Mogul4, bax and ivey aint regulars in the $5 tourneys but any player above the recreational standard will know the names and relise if they are at the table then they should pay more attention to them which distracts the attention from a unknown who could be ghosted by a big player, can you see the issue here? brian townsend even played on a different account so that people who knew his game didn't know he was playing.

And to everyone else that doesn't see a problem with the op then gg, i officially conceed, this forum has beaten me and im out, no big loss for a forum that has less than 3% of its membership posting regular. ha ha.

And finally claudioxcore, i am gonna send stars a email directing them to this thread, what they do with that information is basically up to them.

The integrity of the game is only as good as the integrity of the players.

Btw, you sure do seem like you know the ins and outs of this online poker thing, coming from someone who's played roughly 100 tournaments over 3 years.

Out of all the things to throw a fit about your choosing something that stars allows. Even more you mounted your high horse on an assumption of what claudio wanted which wasnt even the case. I don't get it.
