The total rake on an $8 180 man is $118.80.
There are 8 such tournaments running as I write.
As you seem to agree, having a second computer running doesn't make much sense, so changes in the rules are enforceable.
The total rake on $300 HUSNG is is $8.98 or $17.50 depending on the speed.
There are 2 such tournaments running as we speak - though doubtless also a long queue in Sharkystator.
As everyone says, running all manner of software on a second machine makes sense regardless of rules - so this game will descend into a bot war whatever happens - the rules make no difference to the long term health of this game.
Now, please answer - the potential health of which of the above two games should be given the most weight in determining the rules?
It is possible to get notecaddy, HUDs and the other problem software out of small stakes 180s and similar levels of cash games, STTs, MTTs so we should just do it. "Enforcement" at nosebleeds is a reason to just cancel those stakes - it isn't a reason not to fix the bread and butter of the site.
