Default Re: My thoughts on the ZeeJustin situation

I don’t think taking 100k of funds, which were earned through legit play, from ZJ’s account is a fair decision. One reason is that party will not be able to punish any of the other hundred or so players the same way.

If he won the money with his scamming/changing names in high buy-in sit and go's, it was not a legitimate win. It was a clear cheat to the players who kept the same name as per Party Poker's policy and therefore were constantly facing a new player whom they had no information on, while Justin was able to play vs them with all the information he compiled. He admitted that was the exact reason why he did this, to gain this huge advantage. I really don't understand why more people aren't harping on this issue, because as a sit and go player, this is a much bigger issue to me than the multi-entering of multitable tournaments.

Ricky, you make a fine point and it's probably going largely ignored because this is the MTT forum with MTT concerns.

ZeeJustin explaining on his blog that he likes to play anonymously--with the attached implication that he has more than 1 account in order to do this--was almost as stupid as JJProdigy bragging about winning the Party under a different name, and probably more corrupt.

I guess people don't realize that the rules that online poker rooms institute aren't just random obstacles for players, but in fact ways of making sure that supergeniuses like ZeeJustin don't get an unfair advantage over the average joe who knows only how to play one account.
