Signs of the Times: Multi Accounting Online At A Live Poker Room

I’d say 50%+ of private club games have two people at same table controlled by same person

Even from this blurry photo you can tell the avatars from the players are different it’s probably just a site you can’t multi table well off a phone and he wanted to play multiple games

And how exactly do you know he’s playing at the same tables?

proof?

If the person is multi-tabling with two devices/one account, wouldn't the software kick the person out of one of the devices? Should be a pretty easy hypothesis either way.

Im sure he wouldn't do it publicly at a poker table if he was multi accounting

A phone line in the US costs an additional $20 a month on your phone bill

He's saying that you shouldn't be able to be logged into the same account from two different devices.

Only if they were braindead and using the same wifi.

You'd like to think so, but since there's 50 examples of cheating/scamming/scumbag stuff in poker with basically 0 consequences, who cares?

I suspected he was multiaccounting when I saw that he was receiving cards and seeing a flop simultaneously. Then I asked him if he was and he confirmed that he was. He had no shame about it. He's likely using two different SIM cards rather than using one WiFi.

in before shills counter with "actually these multiaccounters are really exploitable if you know what you're doing. online games have never been better."

lmao wild... **** him
most app games are a shitshow

I believe there’s tons of cheating going on in the not -properly-vetted apps. I also don’t believe OPs story at all. Why would you leave out that he admitted he to cheating in the original post. Also why would he do it in public and admit to it

Did this thread need to be made? Might need to bump up the "passive income" that you're living on in a 3rd world country if you can't afford a phone camera

The blur is from movement lol. Thanks for the ad hominem attack.

I was thinking of making a "How to transition from poker to passive income" thread but I was hesitant because most poker players are narcissistic scum bags. Stay miserable!

I didn't think this forum would actually be biased towards skepticism and denialism. This was in the Philippines where there is a lot of open collusion at the poker tables vs foreigners.

I think this is common on the internet today. You have people who will disregard Occam's Razor.

The simplest assumption from your photo is that the guy is cheating. It's not like you named the person, or took photos of the guy's face.

I don't understand why cheating is seen as being far-fetched in poker? This guy is doing it in plain view and obviously DNGAF.

People rob banks on camera everyday... Hell, they even rob casinos and try to sell stolen casino chips on 2+2. These people also DNGAF.

The biggest question I have is.. why is that guy even at a poker room? If you are cheating in online poker, what's the point in playing in an alleged clean game?

Given he posts that there is a lot of open collusion against foreigners in the live game why do you think it is clean?

You give people more credit than they deserve. Dumb teens literally record their crimes and put it on facebook

It is always good to see new people arriving on the Two Plus Two forums. Make yourself at home, get to know the regular poster, and soon you will be fitting right in.

If you are playing online, ESPECIALLY on apps you are being cheated in some way shape or form likely at all times.

For the apps its easy to obtain multiple accounts. Even on regulated sites you really only need to know someone who will let you register in their name. Once you have multiple accounts you use different devices to play on each account. It's fairly easy to make sure that both devices are not on the same connection and thus you're effectively undetectable (whether by vpn, or KVM over IP).

Considering there's ways to bypass geo location restrictions with regulated sportsbooks which have applications that HAVE to be installed with effectively root kernel access, poker sites security are pretty much a joke in comparison.
