    I am child like for my views on this, I dispair. No, the best way forward is for players to stand up and tell it like it is. Here's your opportunity to do the right thing Scotty, is someone playing on another's account right or wrong?

    In Response to Re: *****OCTOBER PROFIT CHALLENGE THREAD***** : Epic run good came to a sudden end today. I won another PLO bounty hunter, but as soon as the first hold'em hand was dealt as part of DTD/FLOPS my mojo was gone and best I could do was bubble a couple of £20gtd. That doesn't bode well for the rest of the week as I will play a lot of hold'em as part of FLOPS. I may have to re-think my participation. 1 cash out of 8, daily balance -£13.82, MTD balance +£206.09.

    Back to what this thread is all about.

    No hold'em today, so mojo was partially restored. I won a bounty hunter, cashed another and won a £20gtd. On the down side I failed to cash in the OHL2 again and couldn't qualify for UKOPS 2. Unless there are some last minute sats next week I won't be playing. :(

    3 cashes out of 7, daily balance +£20.45, MTD balance +£226.54.

    rent is due just admitted to blatant cheating but everyone in this thread is either too dumb to realise why or are massively bias towards him.

    the fact sky said this sort of action is acceptable is ridiculous, more than one person playing on an account is cheating, doesn't get much more black and white.

    looks like only stien has any sort of common sense here.

    Evening guys, thought I'd get round to giving another update.

    BR as of 1st October   = £152.78

    BR as of 20th October = £230.88

    BR as of 25th October = £246.88

    As you can see, my DYM challenge is still going very well. I got just over 1200 Poker points as well so I'll have £15 C4P by the end of the month, although I am pushing to make it to 2000 points to get £30 :)

    Stein is right I'm afraid. I'm sure Rent is a nice guy but whether it is intentional or not two people playing on the same account is cheating.

    Well I see what you're saying, and technically you're right BUT I can see how friends etc maybe slightly biased towards him but there is no reason for Sky to be biased towards him (well I guess he creates a **** of alot of rake) but they aint gonna throw the rules out the window for a bit of rake.

    So essentially Sky have the final word and it all seems fine.

    why shortstack 100nl. if she just played 30/40nl fullstacks the subject would not have even arisen lol. and all this would have been avoided. it is illegal though.

    For once I actually agree with Stein... it's wrong, deceitful, cheating, against the rules etc etc etc... so bad

    Can Sky please clarify that they believe account sharing to be both ethical and within the rules? And that they take no action to prevent and discourage it?

    My final word on this.

    On my part there was no cheating went on at all, although looking at it from some other players points of view i can understand the concern in having someone else playing on your acc and player notes etc.

    All i have been doing is trying to learn my girlfriend the basics of poker to try and give her a interest in the game that takes up much of my life and she has probably cost me a good few hundred quid while trying and yes stein i havnt always been looking over her shoulder otherwise she wouldnt have cost me so much but from time to time you need to go to toilet or make a cuppa so maybe that was my fault also if there had been some sort of a master plan do you think i would have even told anyone she had played on account ?

    She has only ever played on a morning once or twice a week at the most and anytime i have been multitabling 100 or 200 nl that was me.

    I spoke to sky pri team earlier and explained all of this and was told that i had done no wrong but from this moment on i wont be letting her play any games on my acc no matter how small (my choice not theres).

    If you read jennys post above she also admits to doing the same thing but i am 100% certain that she meant no harm when doing it either.

    And also like jenny says i think there will be hundreds who do the same thing out of all innocence only difference here is that i told you

    People will believe what they want to believe and so be it but at least i have had my say now

    I say BAN HIM ))

    And while your at it BAN ME aswell because my brother played a few mtts on here for me

    All rent is guilty of is the same thing i am guilty of and that is NOT BEING AWARE OF THE FACT IT IS UNETHICAL and the reason for this is because he wasnt doing it for any other reason apart from trying to learn his girlfriend this beautiful game of ours ))

    And lets be honest there are any number of brothers/sisters/fathers etc play on here and also play on the same stakes so who is to say that they are not swaping accounts from time to time to give them a edge v players with notes on them ? because i would make this a certainty to be happening all over every site

    No doubt this thread will get pulled though and all of the good work players have put into it will be long gone by tomorrow (

    Can't see any reason for this thread to be pulled. It shouldn't and I dare say it wont be.

    Best record my latest figures just incase tho!

    It does happen all the time, and I'm very surprised how many people aren't even aware of it.

    But when it happens at 50nl+ where ppl are playing for a living it obv becomes more serious.

    Anyway, mods don't close this thread, there's nowt wrong with it.

    This thread was entirely amicable until this post.

    It's kinda meaningless really but I'm a Daily Mail reader and have no option but to vent my mock outrage on the internet.

    Single mothers having loads of kids. I'm no rascist but. 4 points? Support the illiminati all you want Hartigan. Benefit scroungers, pah. Feral kids. etc, etc, etc.

    My point is : Deal with real life, be unconcerned about the internet. I've forgotten if I'm even on the thread/forum this was intended for.

    Meh.
