  Is the enemy of your enemy your friend? Well outside of a vested interest in a shared foe, chances are you won't be going on one of those retreats where men go into the woods, bang drums, and cry with someone you term as an enemy. So don't get caught up in any poker table alliances you may have crafted in order to deal with a table bully.



  We have all been there: somebody at the table is winning way too much and being much too vocal about their good fortune. This is the sort of person that most of us would like to take cricket bat to in a way that is not altogether legal or moral. Most of us will settle for short lived alliances with our fellow poker players to put this guy in his place.



  The first problem with the above scenario is that it is illegal. Most people would call this collusion, which is frowned upon regardless of how annoying a particular player is. The second problem with this idea is that by working with another player you are giving them far too much actionable intelligence on how you do things. This will most likely come back to bite you someplace sensitive in the near future.



  Everyone should avoid the temptation to work with other players. Most of us wouldn't dream of trying it in a casino, but the more casual atmosphere of a home game makes this a much more common scenario. Those who are not bothered by breach of rules and etiquette should consider the impact of getting too chummy with somebody who will be studying you for tells later.
