i agree with geoff here

i think that if two people at the table are sharing hole card info it isnt that significantly different to your expectations. the situations just arent going to arise particularly often where their cards will tell you enough about how they should optimally play the hand.

given the earlier examples, how many times can you really expect to hold TT, and fold it down because your partner has T6? i am skeptical that this type of situation happens at any more than neglible rate.

I read an article somewhere talking about this. When there are only 2 players colluding, they don't get that big of an advantage. When there are 4 or 5 or more, that is when it starts to get to be a big edge. The cards start to become "super-hot", as knowing the other cards takes about 10 rags that you do not need. But when there is only 2 players, it is very hard to beat the rake and the game.

Edited to add: That was my 100th post.

logically this makes sense in the same way that counting cards in blackjack makes sense. the more into you get about the rest of the deck, the better, but when you only have a couple of extra cards known, the advantage is extremely minimal. but when you have a huge amount of info about the deck, it swings greatly in your favor.
