Full Tilt allows more than one account for CardRunners players

March 19, 2008

Full Tilt Poker recently announced a deal with the Web site CardRunners.com that will have many of its top young poker players join the online poker site to play. The biggest news to come out of this, beyond the signing itself, has been a change to FTP policy to allow CardRunners players to have more than one account.

From pokerkingblog.com:

Full Tilt have announced that they will be making an exception to their “one account per player” policy. They will basically be allowing Cardrunner pros to use “alternate” accounts while they are filming their instructional videos. These “alternate” accounts would be used to disguise the true identities of the person behind the account, presumably so as not to influence the play of the other people at the table while the filming is taking place.

Also, Full Tilt goes on to say that at the end of the recorded session, all of the other players at the table will be notified by email as to what happened, and they will be rewarded with a “small token of appreciation” for their participation.

Lastly, Full Tilt states that anyone who loses money to the pro will be given “additional compensation”, but doesn’t say exactly what that would be. FTP points? A hat? Reimbursement of their lost funds? One can only assume that the player will not be getting their money back.

Whole thing here.

The possible problems are many, from FTP making exceptions to its own rules for pros, to regular players possibly feeling cheated because of playing against a “hidden” pro.

There has been quite a buzz on many poker forums about this issue, and a lot of questions about this policy change remain unanswered. Look for more as this story develops.
