Same person playing live and online at the same time?

What do you guys think when someone is playing at the Mandalay Bay Championship and also in online tournaments at the same time? Obviously he has someone else playing his name. Is this ethical?

I think maybe you dont really know whose Username it is.

Also, atleast tell us what you are talking about.

its not unethical to let someone else play a tourney on your account imo

[ucnoles]

I don't believe I need to say who I'm talking about. If I didn't know who they were, and what their username was, I wouldn't have asked the question. I only bring this up because back when I use to play Joe Cassidy and Dustin HU, they would often play on each others names to try and be sneaky (never fooled me). Just asking a question to see who thinks it's ethical and who thinks it's lame.

well it happens every day. Don't always assume the notable player in the big games online is actually the player, at those levels people trade accounts left and right to pay back debts, to settle a score, to gain an edge. I'm not going to name names, but there is someone who recently started playing 1k/2k HORSE who doesn't have the bankroll to play 200/400, and is known to be a bad player. Yet he is killing the 1k/2k games because its not him playing on his screen name, the other players in the game probably don't know yet but his friends all know that this is the deal.

Must be one of those awesome casinos where they allow you to bring in your laptop and connect to the internet while at the poker table [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

maybe it was ZeeBonamo or whatever he's called, that cheat, playing with his gran or whatever. But remember it's not cheating if you open up more SNG's
