So Party may or may not be going back to the U.S. within the next year or two (I guess), it will obviously be +EV to disguise yourself for free, without MA accusations or anything, by using a completely different username and not telling anyone.

How many people would you expect to do this? Will you be doing this?

What about people ripping off well known pros' names? ...that will surely happen.


I'm from the UK, but was just randomly thinking about this and how it will affect the regular players from FT and Stars who join Party when (if) it opens again.

VIP players on Party can change their name once every 30 days, all other players can change screenname once every 180 days.

Anyone who reads a screen name and believes that it is the pro referenced (except on sites where pros publicly play) is a fool, imo. Sure, some poker players are vain, but most won't want to use their real names. And if you're talking about well known screen names from other sites, I still don't get your point. How are you "disguising yourself for free" when anyone can pick any name already? There's no obligation for people to use the same name on every site.

Can't argue with that.

Party Poker abandoned us! Why would you even go back to them? I stick around with those who were LOYAL to US players regardless of the situation. PS and FTP.

I think you will find that Party had no choice as a publicly quoted company.

Rather than blame the sites I would be directing my anger at your Government.

Rek, Party Poker DID have a choice and they decided to pull out of the market to hopefully gain more money in the long run. Their board of directors (management) decided it was best for the company to leave the US market. The government is completely F&*)(*)( as well but Party did have a choice.

Of course you stick with them, you have no choice.

Sure they had a choice, but not a good one. Privately held companies that stuck around - many (all?) of them; publicly traded companies that stuck around - none of them.

I would use the same name on every site that way it's easier for people to track me and know my game fair is fair.

Party had a very viable legal option of filing for a "Declaratory Judgement"..But Party and other public sites for reason known only to them ignored this option...

I am no Lawyer..This has been discussed several times in the Legislation forum...

No, If Partypoker came back..we would have a choice to go back to them if we wanted too. But like I said before, I stick with those who stayed with us through out this whole thing..... IF PartyPoker came back that is.

PS and FTP will be my choices still.

This actually works well if you are very good.

The nits will be checking you out and try not to sit at the same table whilst the fish won't know.

So you actually get the sort of opposition you want self selecting.

Which is nice.
