anyone else intensely irritated by the wording “sit me out”, or is it just me?

[revlis87]

how the hell does the leader for the palladium elite rake race have 5500 points after 1 day????

[revlis87]

For reference, I think I get something like 1200 pts for 5k hands of 6-max MSNL... so he must have played something like 20,000 hands?

FWIW, he was playing cash, not sng yesterday...

account sharing obv

[revlis87]

great

[revlis87]

I'd encourage everyone who is participating in this promotion to e-mail palladium elite hosts about this

[thepizzlefosho]

can we name the name in here? Just wondering if I saw him yesterday and who I should be contacting party support about. I'm just palladium and not elite, but if you guys feel confident this is account sharing I'll throw an email to support in there as well since it's bound to happen again once I get to elite.

Just noticed Party names can be 15 characters. I think it used to be 12.

Jimmz is the one they are talking about. I don't know if you can be sure it is account sharing. Lots of people have played 16k hands in a day before.

Tim -

Where'd you come up with the 16k hands?

By my count I played roughly 5500 hands yesterday and got somewhere in the area of 1200 points. Let's just say 5000 hands and 1500 points. JimmZ would have needed to play just about 20,000 hands to get there, and probably more since my estimates of my own play are almost certainly understating the hands I played, and overstating the points I got. It's probably more like 5500 hands and 1200 points -- which would be something like 22,000 hands.

While I can't say I'm 100% sure of it, it seems 99% like account sharing.

And also, re: people playing 16k hands in a day... I play a lot. More than almost anyone on here. And I play 16 tables. In my entire life, I've never played 16,000 hands in a day.

[harangutang]

16k hands is probably at the low end, but I think that would be roughly how many hands of 5/10 you would need, based on my own experience. Is there a way to play more than 18 tables if you add in sngs or mtts or something?

I agree it looks kind of suspicious. I remember once ptr tracked the Brazilian guy (savemejeebus etc) as playing a single 10k session of 5/10. 16-20k hands is a lot more though, yea...

[harangutang]

Also note that party points are weighted contributed now and I think jimmz plays pretty loose.

[ChuckNoriss]

What can Party do? For all you know it's one guy taking amphet

[thepizzlefosho]

yeah i played with him yesterday. I guess if he keeps playing 16k hands a day for a month that would make it pretty clear it's account sharing or a bot. I'll wait to send an email till we see how this plays out for the rest of the week, but 20k hands a day is extreme to say the least. People that pull that off at MSNL are known quantities (or in the case of the old korean FTP red pros known to have shared their account). Does anyone know this person? do they ever post on 2p2? is there any reason to believe this is a legit grinder? I know all of this is more complicated because people can change SNs.

[clickabutton]

Just before black friday I was grinding UB on speeds and everybody thought I was account sharing because I was grinding so much. Just saying, don't be so quick to accuse somebody of this because it's doable
