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

Clark,

I'm afraid I must disagree with some of the things you are saying.

I am disgusted by the "holier-than-thou" attitude that some (not all) people are taking. No one is perfect, and I would imagine that most of these people that are "parading in the streets" have their own skeletons in the closet. (That's not to say that i think they are cheating at poker, but it's reasonable to assume that somewhere in their life they have done "something" wrong.) Their sentiments reek of hypocrisy to me. It is possible to be satisfied with the outcome of this without the need for personal attacks.

Additionally, there have been many claims made that "lots" of players have cheated in the same manner as ZeeJustin and JJProdigy. In that regard, I do feel sorry for them as human beings because they have been singled out seemingly at random. It seems quite unreasonable for so much hatred to be directed towards them for particpating in a practice that alledgedly involves dozens of 2+2ers. These two players have been scapegoated.

It's not unfair that they were caught and punished... the injustice lies in the fact that others are getting away with the exact same thing.

They have probably been singled out because they are such high profile players. One risk of making yourself into a high profile name, is that you will be much more likely to be caught and accused of cheating. At least people will be more likely to send random inquiries to PartyPoker and so on.

So anyway I don't think it was random. Some random joe is less likely to be caught than ZJ because of his popuarity, blog etc etc. If ZJ had decided to use such tactics but not try so hard to put his name in the spotlight, he very likely would have never been caught.

If you want your name to be well known on the internet, you are going to be scrutinized a lot more, so you had better take extra steps to make sure you are squeaky clean.
