Default Re: ZeeJustin the next to get caught multi accounting Party MTTs

I'm going to say it again because I really feel this way.

The people here who play casually and want every red flag to be raised for them are just seeking a dead end. I am amazed that you guys are so shocked that rampant cheating goes on at the highest levels where the MOST money is on the line. Maybe actually being a poker pro and having lived in Vegas for a time has tainted me that much.

You have to watch your own back, you can't expect the world to just put it out there for you every time. Having some sort of watchdog thing will be completely ineffective because a) it would be ridiculous work for lloyd or whoever b) the information would stop reaching anyone who would report it to lloyd c) the attempts at cheating are never going to cease.

For a long time my attitude whenever I have sat in any poker game anywhere is that I am being cheated until I prove otherwise. It's just that simple, there are tons of people who will do anything when the price is right.

Perrier

P.S. I am not even going to respond to people who think this post is sympathetic towards the cheaters or condones moderate cheating or anything else ridiculous that one might incorrectly extrapolate from it.

I certainly feel stupid volunteering Lloyd or anyone at 2+2 to become the de facto monitor of all online cheating; but it seems as if there are some who knew mutli-accounting was happening, felt it was ethically wrong, and wanted someplace to air their concerns, but couldn't because of the pressure among their peers. Again, maybe I'm wrong. But I think it's valuable to find outlets for those people to express their concerns, should such people want to do so, but can't because of various pressures. I suppose gimmick accounts would work just as well, but then the skeptical among us would accuse otherwise honest accounts of cheating as mere paranoia that's the result of a bad beat, hence the need for an objective, trusted party to fill such a role.

I fully recant my proposed recommendation of alerting Lloyd or anyone at 2+2 of cheating.
