I don't have a problem with people getting fleeced because they made a stupid bet, but I am concerned about the image of impropriety this sends out about online poker. It sure wouldn't take much to spin this so it looks real bad.

Imagine a magazine article describing 6 of the best online players around sharing accounts to win side bets, possible playing on several accounts at the same time, maybe dumping chips to each other. I'm not suggeting any of this happens or happened, but it certainly opens doors for speculation that could do nothing but hurt the game overall.

I guess there is no way to prevent stuff like this, but I sure hope we won't make it so high profile anymore.
