Now that's something I never did as I see that to be cheating. If my wife and I joined the SAME tournaments let's say with a buyin of $26 $38000 Guaranteed with let's say 500 players and found ourselves at the FT where the winner gets $11000, it would be difficult for other players to believe that there was no collusion. However I think it's OK to have multiple accounts under the same ISP as long as you NEVER join the same tournaments together. It's just a conflict of interest.

It's too bad that an old school gambling ethic wasn't applied to teaching Wretchy why it's a real bad idea to cheat. If Wretchy cheated in a Vegas casino he would be banned for life and sentenced to prison. If he was caught cheating in certain local games the punishment would be far worse and far more "awe inspiring" than prison and banishment. I've heard some call it allowing a cheater to experience "a significant life-changing event" to see the error of their ways. It just goes to show that cheating is fine if you have some degree of "celebrity" status. How many dollars did this unethical sob cost his honest opponents by playing two hands? How many dollars would any good player win with the edge of knowing two hands at the table...not to mention controlling the bets of two hands. Absolutely pathetic and disgusting. Card cheats are immoral bastards and if he has no regard for one rule then none of the other rules matter either. This guy and all like him are pure trash and should never be allowed back. Controlling cheating and people like Wretchy is half of the reason the government wants to shut down online poker. Maybe it's a good idea to put these websites out of business for allowing cheaters to participate. If a website is not 100 percent ethical then it should be eliminated and the operators prosecuted along with the cheats. Thank you Dan for schooling me that online gambling is loaded with cheating. I will never use Poker Stars after reading about Wretchy. You got that right Joe.
