Interesting

I find this thread interesting and something i have often wondered about

All my views in this post are assuming there are no money laundering issues/fraud

What exactly is wrong with two friends playing a heads up tournament/cash game?
What harm can come out of it ? .... there is no one else involved so collusion and cheating dont come into the equation.
What makes a " questionable hand " , when i am playing in home games you should hear/see all the crap that we come out with! i dont think its even against the rules in proffesional poker to show one or even both cards to your opponent in a heads up situation before they have even made their decision.
The card room still get their fee/rake
Some card rooms let you transfer money from person to person anyway.. Party Poker being one ( havent checked this today, but i know they did ) so if the biggest poker room on the planet think its ok it cant be too bad anyway.
What makes a friend? i have met loads of players online that i regularly chat too and play against, who i will talk to about all sorts of things whilst playing poker..... am i now not allowed to play heads up with them ?
I just cant see the harm
