How so? I'd like an explanation if you have it.
Poker, and especially online poker, is based on getting every edge you can.
There's sixth sense, there's PAHud, there's PokerTracker, there's a dozen programs that can be used to find the very best poker table to sit at.
Is it ethically or morally wrong to get on a waiting list...but not sit at the table if the table fish leaves or the chip leader/strong player is right next to you?
Is it ethically wrong to play someone heads up if they challenge you during a ring game, when you know you are better than them, and then proceed to take them for all their money?
It's a game built on gaining an edge on the competition in order to make money. You aren't gaining an unfair advantage over the competition (as compared to playing two accounts at the same time or something). And, to my knowledge, it's not illegal to change your screenname.
=========================
For example, poker pros...[although it doesn't work that well because people love to play them no matter the losses they suffer]...
Is it ethically wrong for someone like Phil Ivey to play on an unknown screenname because people won't play against Phil Ivey? Why?
