Hello guysDo you have more than one PokerStars account to play the same game? I suspect there are players who do it. I wanted to know what you think about it.

It is not allowed, it is just your imagination.

It seems like they do it because you are mad or on tilt.

As someone said above, it is not allowed and also I think you cant do that unless you've registered "your" second account with other details than your main one.

It is not that they play with the same nickname. Only some letters of it change. For example: 0adam776 and another with adam0776. It is understood ? Is not it suspicious?

that could be someone messing around on the site taking someones name. Their is one like that with the name I use. All they did was add a zero to the end of it. 57noona0 was what I saw. I didn't make that account. But someone somewhere did.

If we are both called Adam and we make our accounts wanting the same name, one of us will be getting a pokerstars suggestion, very similar, and most people just press Next because the perfect name will not make you a perfect poker player.

As someone said I also have seen accounts similar to mine, poherstars instead of pokerstars and numbers change.
Because some people want the same names.

There is a person named like me, older than me, around 200 miles away and he was the first to make a mail account with his name and I had to put MyName2. We are not related, I never met him, he is a known politician and I know he made that account because I've seen it on his personal website.
I had many troubles because of this, some people forget to add 2 and send stuff his way instead.

If you are suspicious speak with Pokerstars support.

Having multiple accounts at a poker site or any other site is against the site rules. You're only hurting yourself if you do that, because they will find out eventually, and you are risking any money you may have on the accounts and a ban from the poker room. If we find out you are playing multiple accounts in our games, your password privileges are removed, and depending on the severity of what you are doing, you risk being banned.

Having said that, I have seen instances where, as Adrian pointed out, two very different people have very similar names, and it just happens to be coincidence. You can usually tell by the actions of the accounts. Is one sitting out while the other is playing? If that account busts, does the other account suddenly sit in and start playing? Are they always playing in the same tournaments together? If that is the case then it is likely that they belong to the same person. Which is against the rules of the poker site. Someone playing multiple accounts in the same game is cheating, period.
