Number of PokerStars accounts

Good to Know. Although we all know that "Made the law, made the trap" true

 

[Mauricio Perrotta]

I had two accounts for a short time. When I moved to Panama I had forgotten that I had an account. I honestly thought it would have been cancelled as Black Friday happened and I was in the US.

When I remembered I told Poker Stars to check and they cancelled my new account and made me play on my original account. I asked them if they could cancel the old one and let me keep the new one but they said no, therefore Etheric Wiki I am.

If you play on the other account they will match your IP address and catch you eventually. If they dont right away they just might review your account when you win big money. Its best to come clean now and ask for amnesty, but if you cheated and got away with it there is no way to do so.

Oh, ok. Thanks for the info

Hello guysDo you have more than one PokerStars account to play the same game? I suspect there are players who do it. I wanted to know what you think about it.
Regards

It is not that they play with the same nickname. Only some letters of it change. For example: 0adam776 and another with adam0776. It is understood ? Is not it suspicious?

As someone said I also have seen accounts similar to mine, poherstars instead of pokerstars and numbers change.
Because some people want the same names.

Having said that, I have seen instances where, as Adrian pointed out, two very different people have very similar names, and it just happens to be coincidence. You can usually tell by the actions of the accounts. Is one sitting out while the other is playing? If that account busts, does the other account suddenly sit in and start playing? Are they always playing in the same tournaments together? If that is the case then it is likely that they belong to the same person. Which is against the rules of the poker site. Someone playing multiple accounts in the same game is cheating, period.

Looking trough my poker screenshots I just found what I was talking about. I was surprised to see a user with a similar name to mine.
And the coincidence is even bigger as this is a CardsChat game, so maybe Tammy can say who that person is.

I took this screenshot on February 9th, 2018.

Crazy !

[belizebum]

I was in a MTT recently and saw two similar names, both from same country, and I thought ok, lets watch for a while, but then I thought, how on earth would they be at the same table, over 800 players. I mean it could happen, but the odds??

 

[Pimp 007 x]

I doubt anyone can be 100% about the matter. But let's just remember not everyone is as honest as you are. Some people will do ANYTHING to cheat and have an edge on a game... Specially when there is money involved.

I wouldn't be surprise if there is a network of several dozen people working together to win big tournaments and share the payouts... Can you imagine having 2 users working together in the same table sharing information? Can you imagine 3 or more in the same table?

There is nothing preventing these people from teaming up...


This sounds perfectly possible to achieve... That is one of the worst aspects of online poker, you simply don't know who's behind the cards.

I don't play high limits online, mainly for that reason. But I always find it strange, while browsing high roller tables (50-100 blinds), that its always the same two users in several tables, one active, one sitting out, just waiting for a victim.

It is a good answer to my concern. I think the same that you. There's always going to be someone who cheats when there's money in between, and the fear against the bots

 

[Ranish625]

It is forbidden by the rules, but of course as everywhere there are loopholes to get around these rules, but I do not see the point.

No. That´s not allowed and therefore I better do not do such things. Nevertheless I could imagine that many players do have more than one account. Should not be a big problem to get more than one.

All the best

I would not worry too much (oops.... I'm also at this table, but cannot remeber anything... very suspicicious)

I looked it up, because the name was very familiar to me. But it seems that was someone who either had the password shared with him, OR a multi-account of a FRC member. But they were found out and removed from the FRC.

Doesn't make sense to me, in tournaments you get sit where they put you, not where you want it. And if they are 9 and do all manage to get to the final table, it's because they are good players and managed to beat the other ones, it doesn't have to be because they communicate because they might not be at the same table.

In fact, real poker is the opposite, there you can have people who know each other, in big online tournaments it's almost impossible, if you are not a good player, you won't reach far(to your friends), and if you are a good player, you don't need nobody.

You can have them at online cash, but I hate online cash, especially at pokerstars, because people choose their seat.
If you want to play cash, be hidden and a place where people can't choose their seat then play unibet Poker, that's what I do !

I already wrote, It's an old photo, you can't remember every name you saw.

I checked and there is no information on that, maybe that player doesn't exist anymore or got banned because you are not allowed to leave your pokerstars username empty if you play a CardsChat game on pokerstars.

That's the only time I saw him.

If 2 people think the same way (and people think the same way, because people learn the same things, people experience the same things, people have the same idols, etc) then it's a possibility people will have similar names.

Think about it, I chose pokerstars and a random number because I wanted to be as easily forgettable as possible, it's very blank and not getting attention, just 100% game, no show off. Like the guy at a real poker table hidden under his hoodie and you can't see nothing.

Why would I be the only one who wants that ? I can't be the only one. There you go.
I already proved people want the same thing, not all of them, some of them.

And also: why did he chose poherstars instead of pokerstars ? it makes no sense. Well it's easy: I think all the (good) pokerstars names are taken ) maybe that's why I managed to get 214 and not a smaller number.

For example I'm on 888 as flipsflops. I couldn't be the only one who wants that. I wanted FlipFlop or FlipFlops. It makes sense, in poker there are flips, and also flops and also you can wear flip-flops. So, as you can see, some people think the same way and get the (good) names before me. I had to take Flip to the plural, it sounds decent but not the best, the best is always taken.

It's even worse if we are talking about regular names like george or vanessa, then it's easy to see a similar name to yours because people have the same name.

 

[Mauricio Perrotta]

It is forbidden by the rules, but of course as everywhere there are loopholes to get around these rules, but I do not see the point.

The point is, if you came to the final table with your 2 accounts, you could transfer the chips by going All In, and take advantage of that.
Win yourself It is understood ?

 

[Mauricio Perrotta]

Then my question gives me the right

That's my birthday!

I looked it up, because the name was very familiar to me. But it seems that was someone who either had the password shared with him, OR a multi-account of a FRC member. But they were found out and removed from the FRC.

 

[onlynuts19]

is there any difference if you have one account or more?

 

[cranberry]

I currently have 1 account on PokerStars. But when I started playing PokerStars, I had several accounts. Generally, having multiple accounts is a fraud. According to PokerStars rules, players are not allowed to open more than one account, nor can you close the old one to create a new one.

 

[Mauricio Perrotta]

Remember when you start this thread asking that you suspect that some played the same tournament with several accounts at once? Did you read the new terms that Pokerstars is sending?

[veritasi]

I don't like creating multiple accounts, and i really don't know why people do this on ps, there are no interesting welcome bonuses but for doing this they can ban all of accounts

 

[COMIRRR]

All poker rooms forbid a single player to have more accounts in the same poker room and it's absolutely normal! You also wonder why some poker rooms have frozen your account .. hmmm !!!

Its obviously pretty "interesting", if you can enter a cash game or single table tournament with two accounts simultaneously using two different computers and two different internet connections. Here are just some of the things, you could do, which would give you an advantage over those players, who follow the rules:

* You are UTG with AQ, but you are also CO with AK, so you chose to open fold AQ and only play your AK.

* You are BB with 44 and facing a small open from early position with 2 field callers. From your other account you folded J4, so you know, 44 only has 1 out to make a set, and therefore you fold 44 as well.

* Its a tournament and you have AK in BB and QQ in CO. You open QQ in CO, it folds around to you in BB, and you either fold or make a 3-bet, to which QQ fold, because obviously you have no interest in playing for a lot of chips against yourself. In this way you can also make sure, the chips go to the account, which need them most AKA "chip dumping".

And then there is the really nasty and also very obvious one:

* You are UTG with J4 offsuit and BTN with AA. J4 offsuit make a standard open, and if someone behind call, then AA put in a mini-raise. J4 offsuit then put in another mini-raise, the player(s) in between call, and now AA put in yet another mini raise, and so on and so forth, until finally AA goes all in, and J4 fold. This squeeze play can also be performed after the flop, if one of your accounts flop really strong.


The latter one was happening all the time, when I played at Zynga Poker play money tables many years ago. Its so blatantly obvious, that people probably dont dare do it on real money sites, that actually care about game integrety and take action against cheaters. But the other forms of cheating are more subtle and difficult to detect for players, so here we depend on the site security team to do some of the work for us.
