I wonder if there are any rules online somewhere for poker "team play". It would be good to have at least some basic ground rules. Can you intentially lose chips to someone to stock them and vice versa - very easy if you happen to be sb and bb and everyone else folded or if there just happens to be no one from the other team involved. If it is legal then I suppose we could actually chat about it during play. How much communication of things like that is legal ? In regular poker you are not supposed to dicuss the hand especially truthfully (although Jamie Gold got away with it over and over and captured on tv at wsop) but what about our team play ? Can we chat to teammates what we have? or even just say dont call or check it down, or fold, etc especially when no opponents are involved in the hand ?
