Browndogg has either thought it through, or deciphered the clues.
Every "hot" thread on every poker forum does this, it's amazing.
OP says something, peeps wanna believe it, bandwagon arrives, world & his wife jump on it, the accused is clearly guilty, & about to be strung up from the nearest lamp-post, to hell with his rights.
Then "balance" arrives, & the thread veers the other way. And then we arrive at a point when it becomes useful, & constructive.
We ought to be able to skip the MainCourse, just have the Starter, & pudding.
Anyway, Sky_Rich will be back tomorrow, so I'll leave him to reply as he sees fit, I only got involved today because I knew he was absent today.
..... and breathe....
if anyone has any doubts of the difficulties with this situation, then they should read this post again!!
If the player under suspicion really does use two accounts, but only ever uses one of those accounts at a time, and all the regulars at that level have worked out the same person is owner of both accounts, then surely he's not really gaining any advantage?
Sky are investigating, lets all calm down and let them resolve it.
If the allegation is that he's sitting at the same table at the same time with both aliases then it's a much worse situation, that would be serious cheating and I would agree that the accounts need to suspended until it's sorted out.
How many sky acc's do you have?
Have you turned into the poker account police??
earlier in the thread people were coming up with ways to try and "Castch the multi accounter out" ideas such as call and ask them to log in, ask to speak to both of them, bring both into sky pokers offices and so on. What people fail to understand here is if this IS multi accounting.... but set up in a real persons name through a real persons bank account, who lives with this player.... Then how can you call for suspensions and account freezes on no evidence
Lets say your all right and this is the same person playing under 2 accounts, one of which is his girlfriends, her bank card is registered to it, her address is the same as his, her name is on the poker account details.. how do you PROVE she isn't playing ???? (remember you have to prove she isn't playing, not her prove she is)
Now flip that and lets say the same situation applies, bank account in her name, her address (which happens to be same as his), her name on the poker account... and she IS playing it.... but your calls for this to be dealt with end in HER MONEY being frozen in an account...as this is higher stakes lets say it's £10k... would you be happy with £10k frozen without a rock solid case having been made against you????
Like i said eralier i'm not saying this isn't happening but you have to protect us ALL so we do not fall victim to someone accusing us of something and Sky jumping in and freezing our accounts
Blackfish suggests suspending the account while investigating??? come on blackfish your a legal student.... how about i claim your working in partnership with X Y & Z player. All i do is bring up live chat and report you. Would you expect sky to shut your account down on my say so first and investigate it later??? I certainly wouldn't and would leave if they did
If it's possible to prove then it will be dealt with but if it's not...... it's not... you can't ban or take money from people that you can not 100% prove have breached a rule, and having 2 accounts to the same address in different names to different banks does not break the rules.. In fact there are hundreds or even thousands of couples, brothers, fathers & sons that do have 2 accounts to the same address
I've heard it said that poker is a game of patience (could do with some myself really lol), this is one of those occasions that requires some. We all want things like this dealt with but I for one would rather 10 people got away with it rather than 2 people suffer false accusation, bans and frozen monies having done nothing wrong
on one could prove its me just because we "have the same playing style)
i.e. c rap.........

this is kind of my point with the other posts though, what if sky came in tomorrow and froze yours 7 the wifes account, took your money, and banned you..... All on the say so of me because i decided your play and your wifes was far too similar for it to be 2 people so i reported you !
Now it's true to say that it's possible you are playing both accounts, maybe you get paid monthly and have a second account in her name as when you run out of money you put money on from her account (not suggesting that you do this nor am i suggesting that you go busto every month lol) -
But in your case it's not true, i think it's safe to say you would have a word or 2 to shout if this happened to you so it's not as cut and dried as people are asuming it is on here
phil23uk... davyzz...
what is the name of your wife's account?
that would be a good thing to publish
