Can you be signed in and play in the same game from 2 different computers?

Specifically 2 computers on the same wireless network in my house.

If you try to log into your account again either the first one will be logged out and you will be logged in or the second one would get an error saying someone is already logged into that account.

If you are talking about using two accounts and play in the same tournament. You can get both of your accounts banned for this. As it is a way of cheating. I would not suggest even trying this.

but only in mtt not in sng or ring games !

Lol, was kinda drunk when I posted this.

Obv not posible, but to explain, I was hoping I could play on my PC, but switch over to my laptop when I want to go out for a smoke.

Logging out on the PC / logging into the laptop would just take too long. Guess I'll just have play on my laptop (which sucks to play on), or quit smoking

Yeah, you can't login to the same account from 2 different computers simultaneously. It will either log you out of the first one or deny you on the second one, I don't recall which. You can log out of one and back in to the other, though, if you need to change computers.

And 2 different people with 2 different accounts can play simultaneously over the same internet connection at most sites, with some restrictions (can't play at the same ring or STT table). My wife has a Stars account that she goofs around with and I emailed them beforehand to be sure it was okay.

Interesting question and explaination. Bottom line is if it could be done the cheaters would gain quite an advantage.

Oh, and quit smoking!

As long as both computers are booted up... it only takes a couple/few seconds on my computers to switch from one to the other.

^^ Maybe I'll give it a try...thanks

I do the same thing (switch computers) and as I am playing on my desk top I log into my account on my laptop. I get kicked off my desk top and my laptop comes right up. So I lose about 3-5 seconds of play time.
