Really is infuriating when that 1 piece of information is the difference between a call or a fold at a tournament defining point.
If Paul has credible evidence that this is true, rather than hearsay, send me a PM with the details & I will ensure it is attended to by the right Suits.
Guys,
We are not going to allow discussion on the Forum about alleged multi-accounting or account sharing. It's too dangerous, as it is often the case that innocent parties get their name blackened.
For all sorts of Compliance reasons, the outcome of these things cannot be discussed on the Forum, either. "Compliance" is a very serious matter these days, & Sky Poker are obliged by law to be compliant.
If you suspect any jiggery pokery, you can either;
Report it to Customer Care
Send me a PM, & I guarantee it will reach the right people for investigation.
Preferably Customer Care, but if you think they may not appreciate the gravity of it, contact me via PM please.
Any further discussion or posts about these matters on the Forum will be deleted. If you suspect foul play, you have a duty to report it, but not on the Forum please, it can so easily be misinterpreted, & innocent parties come under suspicion. 90% of such accusations are unproven or just not true, but we do need to catch the other 10%, so report it, but use the correct channels please.
Thanks.

If anyone has suspicions or allegations about foul play, please report it to Sky Poker via Customer Care. It's that simple.
Some matters are simply impossible to prove. I'm not going to detail them, but it's not hard to work out that it's literally impossible to forensically prove some accusations. So in those cases, I guess they would use balance of probability, after weighing up all the available evidence, & speaking to all concerned, including the accuser & accused.
Many poker players think the accused should just be banned without any argument, but that's just ridiculous, & cannot happen in the real world. Imagine being on the wrong end of that, & being banned simply by hearsay when you are innocent?
The matters have to be thoroughly investigated, & "a mate told me" is simply not adequate evidence on it's own.
When you say it has put you off playing in the past, I think we need to keep a sense of perspective, & context. It's Online Poker, we are gambling for money, so here, & on every other gaming platform on earth there will always be a few wrong 'uns. They get banned, they get replaced, rinse repeat. Most of us could play an awful lot of poker here & never come into contact with a wrong 'un.
Every week, the number of Uniques (= different players) on this site is a tidy 5 digit number. It'd be remarkable if one or two did not try it on, but they all get caught eventually.
Hope that answers your questions, & re-assures anyone reading the thread. We do need to keep a sense of perspective here.
Well I daresay the tongues will be wagging, so you'll get to hear. Sky Poker just can't allow that sort of stuff on here, as it all gets messy & finger-pointy.
I have received the PM, & passed it on to the appropriate Suits without comment. That's the limit of my remit. I can assure you categorically that it will be properly investigated.
I didn't really mention it on here but had a great birthday, just a quiet one with Emma but I'm an old man these days so that's how I like it. I got a new mobile phone from Emma (Samsung S6 Edge for those that care about the techy stuff), it's milesss better than my old brick, I love it, and I have been slightly hooked in by Pokemon Go (about 12 months after everyone else) now that I have a phone that can actually run it.
Yeah slacked off the running over xmas tbh and did start again brielfy in the new year but the weather atm is just absolutely brutal here. I probably sound like a big girl, I don't mind going for a run when it's a bit cold, I'll get warmed up before long etc but recently it's just proper freezing and I just aint finding the 'get up and go' to brave those conditions.
I've set Leah, our youngest, on the right path when it comes to a footy team - http://tinypic.com/r/okwufo/9
I'd put off taking her to a game when she was a bit younger cos I thought the idea of going might be a lot better than the reality of sitting there in the cold for 2hr watching footy, I thought she might get bored etc but she absolutely loved it and was already planning what match we were gonna go see next before this one was over. Shame her first game was us losing, and it was a pretty annoying game to lose, we battered them all first half, the ball barely left their half but we just couldn't score. We finally score early into the 2nd half and within 10 mins we're 2-1 down due to 2 bits of sloppy defending. That aside though, it was a great day out. It's been ~20 years since I've been to Goodison and back then I wasn't overly thrilled at watching a footy match but I loved it now.
Eek, I'd better get running.
In Response to Re: Lambert180 ----- Life After The Grind -------:
Still grim to think about Pat, I know you talked to him quite a lot. Last time I spoke to him properly (not just swapping $$$ with him on Stars) was him telling me about his exploits with Columbian women.
