Same person, different logons, same game?

What is to stop a person from creating two (or more) different profiles/logins, and playing at the same table at the same time. This creates a distinct advantage in seeing more cards.
You may think I'm paranoid, but its obvious in some cases (e.g., freak2 and KriS), and although it's unethical, is it not allowed or even stoppable? |

Although that seems to be turned off in the current build. I will put it back in. |

People with this disorder tend to have excessive trust in their own knowledge and abilities and usually avoid close relationships with others. They search for hidden meanings in everything and read hostile intentions into the actions of others. They are quick to challenge the loyalties of friends and loved ones and often appear cold and distant to others. They usually shift blame to others and tend to carry long grudges."
In one word: Coyotlboy. Sad but true, you suffer from psychotic disorder...you are seriously sick kid, trust me. |

at 3:58 PM, Saturday September 30, 2006 EDT i've seen people dumping money from accounts into one, though...if it were two people i'd just assume it's friends giving money to each other. But when I look at snargle table and there's 5 people all making huge bets and then folding, i think something's up.

at 10:45 AM, Monday October 16, 2006 EDT I agree, Mr. Eko, that it is against the fair play. It appears to be unstoppable, however, as cheaters can use multiple logons (faking up an IP address, or using a separate DSL line or someone's unsecure WiFi) and both see more cards at one table and "feed" a primary logon with a secondary logon which re-fills over and over.
Because of my "condition" (See, Freak2, above) I have spent some time at empty tables to watch the chip transfers take place. It's a thought-provoking exercise. It appears to be unsolvable, however, as the cheaters will learn to avoid being obvious, and will be difficult, if not impossible, to catch. It does bring into question the validity of the rankings. The more interesting issue is: Why? Since it's fake money, why would people cheat like this? What do they gain? Is the reward of self-identifying as a "playah" so great? Apparently so. A telling commentary on human nature. |
