Saw this and thought it was quite interesting. I believe she took it down already.

Why not just set up her own account?

She made it pretty straight in her tweet, she doesnt play online poker.

So if you don't play, don't borrow accounts.

Would also be interested to know what the tweets prior to this were?

Not trying to justify "borrowing" an account, but, if she is only in Montreal for a few days, she probably can't get the paperwork, bank accounts, etc that she would need in order to establish/reopen an account on Stars or Tilt. Afaik, an American can't play on those sites even outside of the US unless they can submit documents that establish that they are actually living outside of the US (and staying at a hotel while playing a liveament in Canada doesn't count)

let's get one thing straight: you can't delete a tweet.

Totally agree. Was not trying to make an excuse, just trying to answer Op's question wrt why she didn't set up her own account...

I can only assume this nickname was self-assigned.

Let's get one thing straight. She admitted to multi-accounting, aka she admitted to cheating, aka she's an idiot

ignorance isn't an excuse, but it seems obvious she didn't know what she was doing was wrong, I dont really know Loni but perhaps she has mostly a live background and didn't understand that she shouldn't be doing that.

I am very surprised that she wouldn't know about this since she is a poker player. Never heard of her but wow she isn't very bright.

I mean would you tweet that if you thought it was a bad thing to do? Again. I'm not saying she shouldn't be ridiculed, but I think it's very likely she didn't know what she was doing was wrong. And yes I'm serious.

So you're excusing her for just being plain dumb, correct?

she should just own up to it (and not delete the tweet) and say she made a mistake and get on with it. her deleting it and saying how she is "gonna focus on the live mtt" "#maxxxlaxxxbrooooooooo" "#haters" is just laughable.

I don't think she had any ill intent, which means something to me, it's my prerogative to think that. If you want to judge my moral compass go for it!
