    The High Stakes Report website has FinddaGrind as being Patrik Antonius, has this actually been confirmed?

    If so, I thought after Benyamine got his own account name & avatar, FTP no longer allowed players to create a second account name?

    I don't believe it can be Townsend because FinddaGrind sits at the highest limits, all the time, including HORSE, and Omaha 8 or better.

    However, speaking of sbrugby, he admitted in his blog that he has been playing under a different name at the lower stakes... so that's a confirmed case of a player playing under a second account name--i just don't get it, has FTP actually changed their policy on this issue, or are these players in fact doing something wrong but FTP just turns a blind eye to its biggest players?

    I hope ftpdoug might be able to shed some light on FTP's policy regarding this...

    Its PA, from what ive read on about 3 or 4 different sites. ive never heard anyone else say it was someone different either, they all say PA. plus, i am an avid FTP user and i never see PA's old SN on anymore and he was a frequent user too...so this makes me even more positive that its PA.

    I don't see what's wrong with this, anyway. He's not hiding his identity because he is chatting with other people and seems to be open about who he is and what he's doing. A simple alias in Pokertracker will allow you to track his stats and HUD them if so desired as normal. He's also not cheating or multi-accounting in tournaments or in any other scenario which will give him an unfair advantage.

    He's also one of their pros, so they know he's not going to be creating any new accounts to circumvent anything, i.e. new account for rakeback or to get around a self-exclusion ban.

    My point is: If it's not hurting you, the other players, or Full Tilt, what exactly is the problem?

    Edals,

    I actually agree with you on just about everything you said (except I am pretty sure that he is not one of their pros), so my post is not to point out something PA is doing and call it wrong, it is simply an inquiry on FTP's policy, whether or not it still exists in the form I thought it did. Namely, that a player is not allowed to create more than one account, now sure, he may no longer be using the old one, but I just wanted to confirm that under certain circumstances, a player may be allowed to close one account and open another (and just what those circumstances may be, since apparently both stars and FTP unfortunately do not allow name changes).

    You know exactly what full tilts policy is... the circumstances are simple you can do whatever the hell you want if you play super high stakes on their site as long as your not cheating, everyone knows this... get a clue

    Hi. I believe he was informed last week that he was in violation of our T&C and was consolidated into one account. There are some other high stakes players who have been bad recently that we'll be sending nice emails to shortly. They aren't getting special treatment.
