without comments

There’s an “English-only” rule on the big online poker sites in order to stop open collusion. I yelled at some Russians once for breaking the rule and they switched to English: “Why shouldn’t we be allowed to speak? The site should autotranslate everything to a user-specified language.”

Being an effing good idea I had to agree to that — but I still made them speak English. Good idea or no, there was real money on the table.
