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?

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]

Last your this was allowed at the Wynn (see picture above), but they stopped it because it was found to be against casino regulations.

It was 15/30. I still see him playing 20/40 at Mirage every week - sans computer of course

I don't see why letting someone play a tourny, or even a cash game, on your username is unethical.
Its like giving someone your bankroll to go play with, or paying for their buy in in a live game. Is that wrong? No not at all.
I understand having multiple accounts and why sites would fear the use of them but besides that, its not wrong what so ever.
Its just a name. Its the money that matters.

imo it's not unethical in the least, unless somehow you are specifically claiming you are that person in the chat or you deliberately set up a hu match and then replace the player.

Did we not discuss a year or two ago when Hellmuth was in some charity event while someone was hosting an online event using his UB account? It seems like that was the cherry re. this topic.
