if you make the analogy to live poker, this is cheating without question. I think the same thing could be said of HUDs. The point is that online poker and live poker are not the same thing. But since online players are not organized to form a governing body or some kind of codification of rules, the online game is in a bit of a mess right now and so folks tend to fall back on the closest example, which is the accepted rules for live play.
Rinse and repeat.
