Default Re: X-Post from NVG: WCOOP ME champion is play2kill (Multi-Accounting)

Maybe I'm the only one, but I don't think your Final Fantasy analogy was so far off base...

I used to administer one of those online fantasy multiplayer games... and multiaccounting was one of the big problems that had to be accounted for. There was always a group (usually teenagers but sometimes college guys... same dorm or computer lab) that had to find every single loophole they could to gain an advantage... usually doing it while logged on en masse.

I certainly don't think it's a stretch to think this same mentality could exist in the online poker realm.

I know a lot of these guys have made a transition from these types of games to poker. Heck in some sense I view moving up in stakes equivalent to "leveling" in that fantasy realm... it's all a big game... but the big difference is in the online poker realm you can actually make $$$ while you're doing it.
