why

[flyingwind]

why is it suicidal to play with another coounter at the table?

You bet in unison making the reason easy to spot.

flyingwind,

Just imagine that you are a pit critter supervising the game and you see (two)
2 players whose bets rise and fall in unison and take insurance in lock-step, etc.

Would you imagine that that is a mere coincidence ?

And if they back off one they tend to back off all!

I saw 2 players playing a progression where their bets matched exactly.

 

[FLASH1296]

They were playing a progression, so they are dumb.

That just gives the pit the "go-ahead" to send a host to their table

— if they are betting enough.
