If I am in a hand against you and your horse the problem isn't that you and your horse will check it down if you are heads up. The problem is that neither one of you has to be concerned about losing to the other -- you are playing off the same bankroll and you can play against me differently because of it.
This isn't even true. It's the same ignorance everyone else has though I suppose. If I lose to my horse, I could potentially get 1/3 of the money back if he has a winning session. If he loses to me, that money is gone, no different from any other player. If he has a losing session the money I lose to him is gone anyways. In no way does it effect my play. If I let it effect my play, it would be in HU situations and it would be unethical to do so, and why would I be unethical with someone who is making me money?

Who's more likely to rob you the guy being open about what he does or the silent guy in the corner?
Kydd I assume it was dhcg that you were playing with at the time?
This is why I did it. People ask and I tell them. Not to mention I give rides or carpool with my horses, and we go to dinner and stuff on occasion. Of course people are going to realize we're friends.
So to the people who asked why I told people (or more like why I admitted to people when they asked) is because
1. I don't like to lie.
2. I have nothing to hide because I am doing nothing wrong.
I mean seriously, no decent player needs to cheat to beat LLSNL, and none of the guys I play higher with complain because it's so obvious there is no advantage gained on anyone's side.
Also, no, I was not playing with dhcg at the time. I stake a bunch of guys.

I actually have a solution to the problem, but I m not going to discuss it here. If that doesn't work I don't know what I'm going to do. The money is so easy where I play, and like dhcg said, it really won't effect me financially all that much.
I had one of my horses text me today saying he needed to do some review because he's on a downswing. I'm almost certain he won't be on my banned player list, so I could still play with him, but the fact that I have to be shady about it is really unsettling. I don't want to do that.
