That was somewhat suspicious, but not necessarily bad. This is back when Party had skins so he legitimately could have been playing sometime as one account and sometimes as another.

Diablo- The best part is how the dicussion ensued about how classy Gigabet was for not leaving when he was up $400k, rather than any mention of how the entire anecedote is [censored].

the steps were only on party tho I think, not the skins. But using another persons account isn't against the party TOS is it?

C'mon ElD, you've never been playing 2/4 with a guy who then busted out $400,000 and offered to played 500/1000 omaha high, then gotten staked for it, and then had a 460bb swing in less than 1000 hands?

Sponger,

Yeah, I've had that happen 3 or 4 times, but not in some pool hall in Sterling, Illinois.

All,

Foreshadowing: omg, I think I still owe a friend of mine 7 or 8 thousand from back then, when I never had more than 200 in possession in one time

Plus it was pretty common for top STT players to have multiple accounts on 1 site so they could 8, 12, or 16 table prior to the split and Party allowing more tables. I can think of several other players that used to post hands from multiple accounts. Who knows whether it was for multiaccounting MTTs or not?
