In case any one didn't know...

Here is a question for the moral police. Which do you feel is worse? "Cheating" by playing multiple accounts in the same tourney or doing something that is illegal by the laws of your state and country?

cheating by playing multiple accounts is very Obviously against the rules and as long as it is i will Never do it - i dont care how many other ppl are.

The whole poker thing being legal/ illegal is up in the air as I see it. I mean if major companies like Meryl Lynch and wutnot are investing millions into the stock of pokerstars - I don't see how it can technically still be illegal as of right now.

the former, hands down. it is both illegal and highly immoral.

the latter, by many accounts, is not really illegal, let alone 'immoral'.

btw, kudos to party in this whole matter.

just wondering if stars will have the gonads to investigate their golden boy?

and im sure this is not one isolated incident. there must be other such multiple acct cheaters among the online poker 'stars' out there...

I'm suprised that systems don't look into seven stud tourneys and cash games. Imagine the advantage you would have if you had two or three accounts at the same table (cash or tourney). You could see a ridiculous amount of cards compared to the competition and have an edge in every single odds decision. This is the reason why I quit playing cash games during certain times of the day, a long while back I had a decent stack and for a week or two I kept getting this feeling when I was playing cash games that I just couldn't seem to make any money anymore. Then I realized I had built the stack in Alaska where the timezone favors playing against opponents in other countries late at night, and lost a decent chunk of my stack playing seven stud in florida where I ended up playing against american players. After a while of this i realized that some of the people I was seeing at 3/6 (I realize now i was playing outside of my limits) always managed to sit at a table together. I cashed out, didn't have any proof so i didn't report em.

Anyway, I guess the moral of my ramblings is that I'm very, very glad that party took that bastard's money and hopefully it will get filtered to the players who were involved with him. Cheating is wrong, I almost broke a friend's hand when he told me that two years ago he had base dealt while we were playing a friendly five dollar game in a bar. If I ever caught anyone cheating me I would break their hand or thumbs. I would probably end up in jail, but I can't stand cheaters.
