One ticket per IP isnt the whole answer but it can go a way to helping stamp out this disease. Yes I know you can get more Ips at the same address but it will make it harder for the "casual" multiaccounter.

In my apartment (in New York City) at any time I can choose to connect to the internet from between 3 and 5 unsecured wireless networks - in addition to my own ISP.

Disclaimer: I have one (1) poker account per site.

Apart from advanced hand-analyzing software there's one - and only one - solution to this problem:

Once and for all establish in the poker community that applying more than one account is exactly the same as playing with marked cards or with stacked decks or colluding in live events: It's cheating, and it's a crime.

Realize that reporting known or suspected multi-account cheaters to the relevant poker site managements is not "snitching", but a necessary way to protect the integrity of the game - and the continuing influx of new players and funds.

Realize that anyone who doesn't report known or suspected cheaters to the poker sites - whether you personally benefit from the cheating or not - are accessories to cheating, and contributors to the eventual demise of profitable online poker.

Best,
