OK well there is still a distinction between:

switching to someone else's account after yours busts out and:

playing multiple accounts in the same tournament
on the same computer
at the same time
on the same table

dont whisper too loud, ZBT's head might explode!!

You don't know noah obviously.

Noah has never cheated in magic, has never multi accounted a tournament, and doesn't cheat.

There are plenty of people I know in poker who do cheat, and not just on their wives.

If someone were to single someone out for ethical misgivings on team pokerstars, noah would not even be on the radar. He is simply a stand up guy. His only fault in life I see is being too generous to people.

I love gossip, but the truth is sometimes boring.

From what I understand, the nature of his multiaccounting was far different from what ZJ did.

Back when the party skins were in effect, the vast majority of this site multiaccounted in some form. They just didn't go to the lenghts necessary to enter those accounts in MTTs.

He is a known multiaccounter for Pokerstars.

He was a close friend of Marcel Luske.

Zee wasnt.

boeken didnt do anything wrong from a pure legal, T&C standpoint and had no funds seized or anything of that matter. so to cry foul when stars hires him is ludicrous imo.

Exactly. Pokerstars has very high degree of security.
They have questioned him more then once after tournament scores from him and his colleagues as per their standard operating procedures.

He usually plays at his office and often times friends will be over to play. Even though the people involved with stars know noah quite well they make damn sure everything is on the up and up everytime. The practice of multiple people playing in the same room is acceptable. He emailed long ago before he ever attempted to play in this enviroment to clarify this situation. It's ok, many people do it like it or not.

Also, when you win a a large sum of money on pokerstars, there is usually a phone call to follow to make sure you were playing the account. The same can be said if theres an unsual significant loss or play activity for those with large balances. Maybe not quick enough to stop brandi and her talented hacker counterparts.

I agree with the quitting $5k headsups, he's not beating the best heads up players on stars, but again you are mistaking rumor for fact.

Noah has never multi accounted.

In the old days, cheating got you shot. Falsely accusing someone got you dragged in the street and pissed on.

This dude multi accounts and everyone forgets it, ZJ does it and everyone in the world knows... Weird..

Anyways, I did a Sharkscope on this guy, it's a good thing he gave up SNG's after 421 [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Actually Noah was a savage cheat when he played Magic. Not that that makes him a horrible guy, actually he's a nice guy, but you're wrong about this point.

[fish2plus2]

what does he get out of it?
