Okay
So most of you guys know what "multi-accounting" is. This is where an online poker player plays on more than 1 account at the same time on the same poker site. This is against site rules, and was made super famous by the big ZeeJustin and JJProdigy multi-accounting incidents a couple years ago.
Anyway,
So I was just thinking to myself, and I remembered something retarded that I did with some classmates of mine when I was in high school.
I was taking a C++ programming class for summer school, and our teacher left the computer lab to go run some errand for like 5 or 10 minutes.
Anyway, so being stupid kids, we decided to see whether I could type faster than some other classmate of mine or not.
To make things even more retarded, in our epic speed-typing battle, we didn't even have to type words, we could just type fklfkjlkdjfgsmneotghjghjfdjhgofsh. The first person to full page in microsoft word won (we were competing on computers next to each other in the computer lab).
Well, I beat the first guy, but my fingers were actually mildly tired, from typing so fast for a full page, lol, so then the guy challenged me to a rematch, and after resting my hands for like 1 or 2 minutes I agreed to a rematch.
Then it got even crazier. He secretly got a third classmate into the mix, without me knowing (not initially at least). See, he had a computer on the corner of one of the tables, so his friend had a second keyboard plugged into his computer, and was sitting out my my view, around the corner, and was also fingersmashing simultaneously as my opponent, which ended up making my opponent type twice as fast, and so he was absolutely destroying me. After like 5 or 6 seconds of this I, and the people standing next to me figured out what was going on, and so obv he got disqualified lol.
Anyway, but this retarded memory made me think...
If the trick of plugging two keyboards into one computer allows you to type with both keyboards, at the same time, on one computer...
Is there a way to set up your computer so that more than one mouse can be opperated on your computer at the same time?
Think about how sick this would be?
In theory, let's say a player wanted to move up in the p5s rankings...
Using multiple mice for the same computer (and obv multiple monitors), a team of 4 or 5 very solid MTT players could all hook their mice into the same computer, and each 8-table or 12-table MTTs, all on the same site on one single account name, so they were 40-tabling MTTs. They could put in way 4 or 5 times the volume of a ranked MTT multitabling grinder, and, even if they were only averaging half the longterm ROI of the other guys in the top-10, they would easily get to a #1 ranking by playing 4 or 5 times more volume.
So.
Do you think there are people who multi-human online poker?
Am I the first person to have thought of this?
Would this even be possible? I don't know too much about computers, so I don't know how difficult it would be to get multiple mice running on one computer, let alone getting multiple mice to work on one poker account, etc.
P.S. I'm not high. I swear. lolz
Additional notes: MUPP brought up the point of how this idea seemed unnecessary, due to the fact that players could much more simply and easily just all have accounts tied to one "real name" on different sites. Like one guy on UB, another on Full Tilt, another on Stars, etc. Thus they would still get the p5s ranking, but not have to worry about all this multi-humaning crap on one computer.
However
What I forgot to mention is the most interesting part of all, which could NOT be accomplished via that method:
The weekly and annual TLB on pokerstars.
These guys could win pretty much EVERY fuckin week if they 5-human'd pokerstars mtts. That's worth straight up cash money, since there is a juicy prize for winning the pokerstars weekly tlb, and I think some prize for winning the annual tlb too.

How would you get 2 cursors? And your cpu would have to have 398734082308715MB RAM to run 40 tables.

Its a fine line between genius and insanity. I'm not quite sure which side this idea is on....

I don't know how one would do the technical aspect of getting two mice to function properly on one computer (I've never tried it)
but
I am pretty fucking sure that you do NOT need a crapload of RAM to 40-table.
I was 22-tabling the 45-man sngs on pokerstars a while back on one of my older computers, and that thing had shit for RAM. Plus there are players like premier, and others, that are well known for 35 or 40-tabling sngs (profitably too btw).
However, using this trick, a player would only have to worry about a measly 8 or 10 or 12 tables or something at a time, which is super duper easy, and so a team of players, multi-humaning on one computer, on one poker account could 40-table for like a 10 hour session without much trouble, and not be all stressed from 40-tabling, cuz they would each only be playing like 8 tables or something, not 40.
Meh.

How would this be different than several people on several accounts all having equal shares of each other?

I have wondered about useing more than one mouse. Nothing poker related, just a random high moment.

If you had read my post:
Simple:
The difference would be that since they would all be under the SAME ACCOUNT NAME, they would be able to become the #1 ranked MTT player on www.pocketfives.com a LOOOOTTTTTTT more easily than any single person could, because, due to being able to put in like 4 or 5 times more volume than even the high volume top MTT players, a team of 4 or 5 not world class, but even just very-good MTTers could easily become ranked #1 on p5s within a few months of doing this.
So he (they) would get massive fame/glory and possibly sponsorship deals.
So every 3 or 4 months they could rotate to a different guy of the 5-man team being the new "guy" (each one would have their own account, but they would only do their multi-humaning gig on one account, for a span of 3-4 months (to get ranked #1 on p5s). This way all 5 of them could get famous, and all 5 of them could get sponsorship deals.
Get it?

you could just have each person on their own computer, playing on one owner's account, all on different sites.
example: have player 1 play 10 FTP tourneys at once under the name jse81 have player 2 play 10 stars tourneys at once under the name lilholdem954 on a diff comp, have player 3 play 10 ub tourneys at once under the name (whatever his ub name Is) on another diff comp.
that way you wouldn't have to all sit really close to each other and share one monitor, and you wouldn't have to figure out how to have 3 mice attached to one cpu.

Nah, then they would get caught. While pokerstars wouldn't get suspicious of a person 40-tabling (there are quite a few people who do this on a regular basis), they would get suspicious of a guy playing 24-hours a day, for days and days at a time, knowing that this would be a bit ridiculous, since people do in fact sleep.
However, putting in an 8 or 10 hour marathon session of 40-tabling is harder than fuck I would assume, though pokerstars couldn't technically say it is impossible and call you out on it or anything, so you wouldn't get "caught" or anything, but additionally, unlike the 40-tablers, you wouldn't be making 1 click every 0.5 seconds, but only one click every couple seconds, which is MUUUUCH much much easier. So you would be able to do this like 4 or 5 days a week, for a full 8-10 hour day's work, 40-tabling, with easy, due to having 5 people all on the same account playing at the same time, and, they wouldn't have to make decisions nearly as quickly, and would thus play better on avg than just one of them 40-tabling, having his eyeballs all stressed the fuck out from 40-tabling, and having to make 0.5 second decisions non stop for like 10 hours.
So this would be superior.
On a side note:
I am not advising anyone to actually try this, nor do I take any responsibility for any of you who do (just saying this because I think I might actually be the first person to have thought of this, and now I think people might try it, so I don't want pokerstars, or people to get mad at me when shit hits the fan lol).

It's a pretty interesting idea imo. And yes, it is posible, but afaik the hack to allow two cursors does not exist, so you would have to make that yourself. Also, you could write a new client that connected the the "server" wich was logged into pokerstars. Every client gets whatever tourny they register up on theire screen, and what they do is sent back the the "server" wich executes the comman in the stars client. That way you dont have to sit around the same computer, and you can masturbate while you play (you could do this while having a lot of people around, but its better to do it while your alone imo). This will also allow the "server" to track how much each player is winning/losing.

Yea I guess, although:
First of all, obviously they wouldn't all share a monitor, they could all have their own monitor, since everyone and their mom has multiple monitors running to the same computer these days, so they could comfortably be spread out across their appartment monitor-wise all using one computer.
But second of all, and much more importantly,
in addition to getting ranked #1 on p5s:
These guys would be winning the weekly TLB week after week, and the monthly and annual tlb.
So, that would be additional incentive over spreading across multiple sites, and, instead just doing it all on pokerstars, rather than multiple sites.
