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

As per usual the truth is somewhere in the middle.
Multiaccounting is obviously unethical. Are there more unethical things? Obviously. Are there unethical things which are relatively better than multiaccounting? Yes.

StealthMunk made some stupid posts and I don't know enough about JJ to determine whether he has reformed or not so I won't comment on that specifically, but judging someone based on there lowest moment when they were 16 isn't that good an idea.

Nath,
Too many of your posts strike me as. I don't multiaccount and am so ethical so my life is better than everyone who does. Firstly the premise is flawed. Secondly the conclusion is irrelevant. Cool that you have such an awesome life while being ethical, but that more or less a non-sequiter.

BTW I joined this thread late and I guarantee like three people will read this post and I will have wasted five minutes of my life typing this.

I read it.

Only 2 people will read my post, but I think the multi-accounters are pretty bad and while they aren't scumbags like the guy that mugs little old ladies, they are doing something bad enough that other poker players should call them names and stuff. Also, they should have the money they won taken away, which is a pretty damn big punishment.

I do think this is something like cheating in college where some people in a certain age group go through a phase where they are a little morally flexible and then they grow out of it; of course some people don't.

Poker in is new essence is a business and a rich one.

In every business there is an expected % of patology due to crimes, in poker materialize with cheating.

We cannot expect this to just disappear or even worse believe it does not exist, we would make a terrible mistake.

We need to work, instead, on how to prevent these actions because if I was a potential cheater and my risk of being caught will lay on having my winnings frozen...well I would not think twice in doing it.

Poker rooms should act in order to maintain very high the risk of being caught and above all to make sure any caught cheater will have the maximun of the possible sentence.

Besides this I find pointless and uselss discussing the ethics or the morality of whoever does that.

For everyone to sit here and get their panties in a bunch over hear say and rumors is ridiculous. Stars has a GREAT team of people that look into this stuff, if something isnt right it will come out.

People multi-accounting pisses me off, but not because I give a [censored] about the ethics of people I play poker against. It upsets me because
1) it negatively affects my ROI (this is much more of an issue for you guys, but stay with me) and
2) it threatens the future of a game which I enjoy playing and make at least some money at.

I am pissed at people who do this, but I don't look down on them. It is against the rules and I hope they get caught and punished.

[/ QUOTE ]

Pretty much my position, I don't look down on people like JJ or ZJ, we all make mistakes.

But I definitely hate the apologists, pretty much for your 1 and 2 reasons again. I think they are dumb people and make all of us poker players a disservice

I have read every post in the thread. I nodded my head at the above two.

If I had any hint or evidence that someone was multiaccounting (i.e. cheating) I would report it.

Does anyone wish to argue that it isn't cheating?

But Justin, according to Noah standards that's just one bad quality, no big deal.

Not sure if Justin is the one to talk as he has been known for screwing over friends for EV.

What I don't understand is why you would burn the money, when you could pay the bum to fight another bum, and sell the video.
