My Explanation

To understand my scenario, you must first understand my day. I picked up my brand new expensive computer from a computer store today (I tried to build it, without knowing anything abotu CPUs, I suck!). I got home about an hour before the MTTs start, and it was very hectic, and I was stressing out a ton. My Grandparents come to the house every weekend. My Grandma is an absolute poker fanatic, and I try to teach her how to play just due to her sheer enthusiasm. I stake her occasionaly, as much -EV as it is. I'll be honest, I do not conserve money the best. I staked her to play the 500k at Party. A few hours later, I bust out of Party, and am only playing 1 MTT. Finally, I am relaxed. I see that she has amassed a decent stack. I start coaching her every hand. Once she got to aobut 10k in chips, I took over, still talking to her. When I got to 100k (tripled from 33k), I asked her to leave the room, and she could watch me on the laptop. I do get nervous and emotional when I get deep, and I figured I had a real shot at it. Of course, my grandma being the kind soul that she is obliged. Before I know it, I won the thing. I am thinking of buying her a new car, but I haven't put much thought to it.

I didn't really realize people would make that big of a deal of it until 10 people started IMing me telling me to prepare for shit. Curse at me, hate me, flame me. I can't say that I do expect less.

But, I just won 140k! Not even all this flaming can take away the amazing feeling I have right now.

i got it......two sets of rankings.  one for multiple accts. and one for single accts.  jj's grandma should be a player to watch.    ABlackCar - also plays as JJ'ssundayacct.  an absolute beast in the first 2 hours of any tourney she enters.   in real life she is grandma JJ.  knows how to "switch gears" when she hits 10k in chips.  she is the real takeover!

hahaha, come on Mantis.  No one's hating.  They're saying it's fucked up to play on 2 accounts at the same time.

People can justify it all they want.  Bottom line, it's 100% wrong, unethical, and against the rules.


I'm not even judging him...I'm more surprised at everyone running to his rescue like there's any valid explanation.

who cares? JJ owns and if he wants to use two accounts, I could care less. We all do it one way or another when he play on our laptops with our friends. We discuss things while we are in the hand and talk about it openly and you know you do it. Anyways, congrats bro.

What's your point?  That doesn't justify anything.

no, i don't do what JJ did.  don't fucking label me like that cheater.

using multiple accounts in one tournament is blatant cheating.  it's a violation of the rules on pokerstars for a reason.

i have never and will never use multiple accounts in one tournament.  have i taken over for someone?  yes, within the rules i have done so.  have i discussed how to play a hand while a friend was playing?  sure, but that's so far from what JJ did, trying to draw lines connecting the two activities is irrational.

congrats nothing.

for the record I b/l JJ, BUT THE FACT THAT THOR CAME OUT AND SAID  MANY TOP PLAYERS PLAY MULTIPLE ACCTs. IN THE SAME EVENT IS A BIG FUCKING DEAL TO HONEST PLAYERS LIKE MYSELF GB, WHO PLAY A STRAIGHT UP GAME.

no hate here except for cheaters, so if you and JJ aren't - then I ain't talking about you, OK

BTW NJ
