And no one else here has ever screwed up..*looking for rolling eyes emote* Just like they have never played ace rag or made a poor call and sucked out on the river..

Moose just got famous for his screwup...lol

bad moose bad bad moose,lol, c'mon guys moose is a regular here, show him some support, ya i hate cheating too but the big guns are doing it on stars and full tilt, ####looking for link that was also on 2+2.########, it's the site's fault for letting multi accounts being set up, you can easily do it on prima/ microgaming also for the record and the network does not seem to care.(never have entered twice in the same tourny for the record)

It was dumb. I'm not denying it. I'm not complaining about it.

I guess the real question is, what would you have done if moose 1 and moose 2 made the final table? you must have realized that you were going to get busted at the start of the tournament?

What I would have done is contacted live support, and explained my fuck up and hope they would return my $50 and allowed me to continue playing the one userid. Not sure what they do once the tournament has started and a player is disqualified from the tournament? If they just let the player bleed chips or they just remove the player from the tournament (other players may assume he was moved to another table).

Ongame Network allows players to register accounts with multiple Network Operators, but has the policy that an individual may only register for any single tournament from one of these accounts.

Any player who plays in a tournament from multiple player accounts will be in violation of this policy and suffer the following consequences:

1. They will be disqualified from a tournament in-progress if the violation is detected in real-time.

2. All money in all their player accounts with Ongame Network operators will be confiscated, and the accounts closed.

3. They will be permanently banned from playing on Ongame Network.

Hey Moose, I hope you shifted all your cash not related to this tourney. I commend your honesty and forthrightness in "manning up" over this. Not many would. Now, it just remains to take your lumps from Ongame, such as they are, and get on with life. You fucked up. You admitted it. You seem willing to take your medicine. Back to your homes citizens, nothing more to see here . . .

Just read through this Moose. Wow sounds like you at least made enough money to get to Mexico for a couple of years. Write often.

MarcoGD · 10-27-2008, 08:13 AM

Accidentally registering twice is an honest mistake. Playing and cashing with both is just plain... unlucky

?

definitely sounds like you are fucked. I guess you will have to change your screen name to CdnBeaver69 now.

Am I the only person who thinks it's ridiculous that you can register and play from multiple skins, but if you are the same physical player, that's banned?

Think about that, and the fact that you are on the internet and have no idea who is sitting behind what screen/nick.

Well, it seems kind of bizarre in concept, but realistically it is the best they can do on these networks that have so many skins that allow players to play on as many as they like.

I bitched for months to Crypto for this, as I watched myself not win one of Interpoker's vacation packages 6 months ago when the leaderboard was filled with multiple accounts including ones that make Moose's names seem subtle (best was Stupid1 Stupid2 Stupid3 - no joke). I finished 16th when top 10 got packages.

This was not even multiple skins, it was a single skin and it allowed multiple entries.

They did finally make it clear in their rules that this would not be tolerated, though it took my efforts to continue to report those who did it before I noticed the problem became less of an issue.

The smaller rooms with multiple skins (granted ipoker is getting up there in size, but each skin is basically a small room) will have these software issues which can be frustrating, but generally the rewards (rake back , bonuses) tend to offset it.

Ongame's punishement for this is fairly harsh if the context of the situation is ignored. If he had sat out one account and reported it and they close his accounts still, then that discourages people from doing the right thing when they make an honest mistake.

For 500 bucks I don't think anyone should whine, but at the same time there were 70 people registered so to play for the top ten even though it was allowed it is obviously a no no in the internwebz pokerworld and the 2+2 police will be raking through this with a fine tooth'd comb....

If you haven't done so already you should withdraw that money. I am pretty sure they will use you as an example when they update their rules.

T8urmoney · 10-27-2008, 11:15 AM

Fuck'em.......nice job cashing twice Moose.

Realistically, it's a rule that is impossible to enforce which makes it a bad rule.

If you can't guarentee that it's one single physical player to one single virtual seat at the table, then any rule that attemps to enforce it is pointless.

Collary: You should anticipate that everyone sitting around the table against you in any online poker event are colluding.

Collary: You should never be playing online for amounts of money that are significant to you.

cadillac · 10-27-2008, 04:03 PM

LOL What a Buzzkill you are. Ima cash out all my monies after reading that post

Rules that can't be enforced 100% are bad rules?? There are very few rules or laws that can honestly be enforced 100% so what is the answer? Anarchy? Apathy? PPFFFFTTTT.
