Devils advocate: Whats your opinion?

I heard a story about a player. In the first 3 months on a site he won quite a bit. After circa 6 months the wins slowed down.

Anyway said player closed the account and went and played elsewhere. However after 3 Months the player returned to the old site, primarily as its a good site with lots of traffic and players. This time a new name was chosen.

The first 3 months were again very profitable, but wins slowed down again after around 6 months.

The only conclusion is that the player had an edge being an "unknown".

Is this ethical?
Would it be ethical if the player did this repeatedly. ??

I don't think thats even possible , I know of no site that lets you change your username if "unknown " means site rigged for new players ,lol , if "unknown " means the other players didn't know it was him , lol .

fell free to join any site you want and keep your same username , I can guarantee you that you will remain " unknown " to 99.99% percent of all players .

Hi, this person only has one account at a time with the poker site.

Once you close your first account, you are not allowed to open another.

No... your story could still hold, they COULD have many, many accounts! its by NO means legal, but totally possible, and incredibly easy to do.

Usernames are directly tied to luck. I thought everyone knew about this?

There's a video online that shows how it works. Here it is. YouTube - poker name vs luck
