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.

gank does own, i agree with what he said....i'm by no means a JJ hater, he's always been one of my fav. players, but that story is so hilariously false. the thing is, i don't seem to have as much issue with what JJ did than i do with the scores of people lining up to tell others that it's ok and to tell those who think it's wrong to "fuck off"...i mean are these guys for real. anyway, i'm glad that a 'big name' finally posted on how this is not kosher.

I think we need a revote on the favorite poster poll.
Shaniac Jr. is definitely my favorite poster now and it isn't even close.
I <3 Jr.

NO GBMANTIS, NEVER IN MY WHOLE LIFE HAVE I DONE USED MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS IN A TOURNEY, OR IN A HAND, OR CHEAT ANYWAY WHATSOEVER. THATS WHY I HAVE NO PROBLEM STANDING UP FOR AN ISSUE THAT COULD RESULT IN ONLINE POKER GOING DOWN. IF YOU WANT ME PLAYING 20 ACCTS EVERY SUNDAY ALONG WITH EVERY OTHER PRO, THEN ACCEPT THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOR, BECAUSE THAT IS WHERE WE ARE HEADING.
ONCE AGAIN, I DO CONSIDER THIS CHEATING, AND IT IS VERY BAD FOR OUR GAME.

Behind every great fortune is a great crime..so true.

Maybe JJ can get two names in the top 75. I wonder how this is going to be reported in Adam's weekend report.

If the story is true I am not sure it is cheating.
I had a friend playing in a stars tourney once and when he couldnt
finish he called me. I had been in the tournament but I had
busted early and I finished it for him. We did not win it, but
what if we had and our deal was to split the profit.
I didnt feel like it was cheating, am i wrong?

Why does it have to be so one-sided? Why can't we look at the issue and discuss it without first declaring it's "cheating"
and why can't we flame someone without everyone saying "don't flame him"
as far as Shaniac Jr is concered, you are all a bunch of morons.
(morons, in the best sense of the word)

Make no mistake about this. I have no opinion-at all on what he did. That is for other people to decide. Only thing I was saying is that a player doesn't have 2 entries to a tournament this size to dump chips. Either way it doesn't seem that playing 2 accounts is defensable-and I don't feel a need or want. So please don't put me in the category that I am supporting this.

Do us all a favor and end the "grandma" excuse.
No matter how much of a poker fanatic she is, this is just one of the
many ways that many people go about sticking additional accounts in
tournaments.
Either defend the practice or back the fuck down, but stop using grandma's account as a scapegoat.

gank,
in sheets' blog ON THIS SITE, he said that you took over a NL tourney for him.
are you calling sheets a liar or me a liar?
you have done the same thing as JJ.
I respect the ethics you got but i think they are misplaced here.
