Along the same lines, I always felt that the sites should offer a separate holding account for the higher dollar players. This holding account would require separate security measures to access (e-mail, phone call, different passwords). So if your main poker account is hacked, they can't get access to the money in the holding account without some additional effort.

For the love of science please take "wretchy" out of the title. We don't need a nother thread to spiral into drama queen hell.

well, sorry but if you make an agreement to be backed and not play cash, then that is a choice you have made. you dont play cash, only mtt's. making other accounts to do this is unacceptable. Yes, it may suck not being able to play cash, but you chose to be staked, and sometimes you have to give things up.

Makes sense. Let's give the non trustworty people more accounts.

The people saying that this is just players being lazy or to use a spreadsheet, you obviously have never been backed before and just dont understand.

Co sign this x 48204280 it would be a helluva lot easier to have this option if you did decide to play cash. Its hard enough as it is to keep rakeback separate.

This is also a very good idea.

A possible simple solution might be for the sites to allow a second account but force the name of it to be the same as the first one with an extra 'tag' of some sort on the end. That way everyone knows it is the same person. Then just prevent both accounts from being logged on at the same time.

Step 4: Subtract the figure from step 3 from the amount of money in your online account(s)

Congrats! You've now figured out how much money is yours and you can use that money to play cash games!

Hey, thanks for laying it out nice so I am able to understand! *staff edit*

Excuse me for asking for an easier way to do this, and an easier way to have my own money somewhere separate online... Ever think people may prefer not to enter all of this stuff into a spreadsheet, and tally rebuys all day, and do extra accounting and double checking? If a poker site can offer a convenience without any downside, why not float the idea?

Gotta love how any idea besides yours is apparently retarded. And the part about "don't want to tally rebuys all day, and do extra accounting"...just lol at that. Quit being a lazy fuck. My roomate ICuRaRook kept spreadsheets of everything ( yes, including rebuys ) for 2-3 years without a problem ever. You should maybe look into doing some of these things, because having 2 accounts so you can play cash and mtt's, is never going to happen.

I think you are underestimating the burden on the sites in terms of software, both playing and accounting, revising the terms of service, security and unnecessary complexity . Also, the idea that their rake will increase is not readily apparent. The marketing reason seems to be lacking. If the purpose is to do accounting for backers and horses, I'm not sure why the sites would want to be involved in that relationship in any way.

I can envision many more problems with the increased number of accounts, yes accounts, than it solves. You can say it is one account all day, but when I go to the bank I have to tell them which "account" I am using even though they have the same name. Splitting balances is still an additional accounting function.

Even if there is no harm in making a suggestion, you should not get so hurt when people express different opinions.

if by Beaver "quit being a lazy fuck" you mean, Beaver "quit being one of the most motivated and focused poker players around" you would make a good point...

are there sites that you are not backed on, ie cake poker. Maybe just have 1 site that you can play cash games on. Also your in dallas so winstar is not far, plenty of cash tables and no worries of getting the game busted by police.

a lot of horses are not trustworthy enough to make this possible. this would make the work of the backers double as they would have to check up on opr/pokerdb to verify the spreadsheet, and there is no way to track rebuys.

Just curious, how would a backer know if a horse is skimming, regardless of whether the horse was playing cash games on the side?

If you aren't already tracking all of the tournaments you play in, then you are doing your backer a huge disservice and are probably ripping him off, whether you are aware of it or not.

No poker site is going to let people split their accounts to play cash games. It's just not going to happen. It isn't realistic. I'm sorry for making fun of your ridiculous idea and trying to give you realistic solutions to your obvious accounting problem.
