I want to clarify that my initial post stating that ZeeJustin was in a final table at the WPT was in error. He was at the final table and placed 4th in the EPT Paris Open, Feb. 19th 2005. Paid 30,500 Euro. Post edited and sorry for any confusion.

I that he bitches about second Party rakeback accounts not being being bana fide when he was super-hawking his rakeback business last year after the skins spit.

I'm really not that surprised that this happened. Someone said that the reason that these kids are getting caught is they come from playing computer games where cheats are part of the game. Its not just the young crowd that does this. Playing teams, marked cards, bottom dealing has been around for much longer than the internet players. I dont remeber what casino it was at in Europe bu Men "The master" was busted trying to take chips from a cheaper tourney and hold them a slip them in play in a bigger tourney. For each time someone gets caught someone else has gotten away with the same thing 100 times. There are so many easy ways to cheat online. These guys have hundreds of thousands of dollars, all they have to do it get multiple internet providers in their house and run multiple computers and they will be almost impossible to stop. The only reason these two guys got caught is they are stupid, JJprodigy was bragging to everyone that would listen. Playing on the same computer is jsut dumb.

I am and never have been a conspiricy theorist but I think these two getting caught is just a nice show. Party poker now looks like they are cracking down on cheaters, because they caught a couple of big name people cheating. Now it looks to like to John Q public that they are protecting them from cheaters. From Part's angle they want these people to play 6 enteries in the tournaments, it inflates their number of players which is very important to they and increases their bottom line.

From a computer side of this, this should be really easy to catch, they can easily track the IP address's of people playing on their site. All they have to do is cross-reference the IP's and check for patterns, the fact that these two got caught only after people complained means that they really arent working that hard to catch these people on their own.

Like Rhound said, you can of course get multiple IPs, and as long as you're not too overaggressive with using multiple accounts you'll probably never be caught. From my perspective I guess I see the desire for money, but even though I play now to supplant my income, my goal (and I think everyone's should be) is to become as good as possible. When you play with a crutch like this, you're just hurting yourself in a perhaps not-so-obvious way.
