I obviously would always like to know the most information possible when playing a certain opponent and for that info to be truthful, but today you can not. Id try 2 gather as much info as possible, such as who backs who, bc I def know when a backer takes over deep, and I adjust. Multi accounts seems feasible to stop but you cant stop ghosting unless you give stars access to your computer and some sort of video surveillance.
i can relate to people wanting to play poker from the US as well, however it still doens't make it right.
fwiw, if some random US reg vpns from the US on his screen name, i honestly don't care at all. yes, they're breaking the rules...but they risk getting caught and their money confiscated, and that's up to stars to decide. personally, i dont' care if people do this.
the MUCH bigger problem is all of these US regs who are getting new screen names and playing on these new accounts, coincidentally from the US.
now the issue here is you can't just pick and choose who to go after here...both sets of people are breaking the rules, so you have to go after both of them. in my personal opinion one set of people is doing something way worse than the other set, but it's impossible to just go after these 'extra bad' people
