This is an incredibly important post.

The cry of most people who multiplayer is that the chances of winding up at the same table are so small is to render them moot. Obviously thats not true. Lets see some justifications now.


That said, I think that multiplayering is much more rare in these smaller events than in the massive sunday fields. The party super argument is the one that for me carries the most weight.

Mike, as an honest person, you have trouble getting into the mind of a dishonest person. A cheater is more likely to search for ways in which his cheating edge can be made greater. This would mean playing tournies with smaller fields. In fact, were I a cheater here's what I would do:

1) Concentrate of tournies with $100 buy in and fields btwn 1-200.

2) When on the same table, encourage action by double limping hands.

3) The Re-resteal: Player A tries to steal my blind. I reraise with one account and then push with my second account. I think that my FE would be significantly higher in this situation.

4) Chip parity: when my two stacks are of different value, I would dump chips from the stack of greater value to the stack of lesser value.

5) Nut finder: I would be able to bet my K-high flush with more confidnce.

6) Out counter: I would not play 22 if my other account folded 92.

7) Action steal: multi-way pots can allow you to work with the other players to get a best hand to fold more easily than they would in a HU pot. I would get into pots with thinking players who can fold an overpair and with my 2 accounts, make the action such that it encourages a fold.

8) Second-best folding - I would avoid showdowns and PFs with one account if I knew that the other account had a much greater chance of winning.

9) Pot Juicer: Particularily in Limit tournies, I would get involved in a pot with both accounts if one account had a good chance of winning it, and I would raise and reraise myself milking my opponents for as many bets as possible.

Casual, non-chalant (sp?) multi-playering (I think Josh falls in this category) seems to drive you crazy. However, I would be much more worried about effective multi-playering in smaller fields.
