    Default Full Tilt Poker Allows a Screen Name Change During a Game

    Advice needed - opponent's sn changed in middle of sng - Internet Poker - Online Poker Forum

    Cliffs:
    - A member of the 2+2 forum plays an HUSNG with "kendog_819." During the HUSNG, kendog_819's SN changes to "-epic fa1lure-".
    - Kendog posts ITT all pissed off because OP gave his SN out on a public forum. - Link to post
    - FTPSean posts and explains that SN changes are allowed in extreme circumstances. - Link to post
    - Kendog actually created a new thread (and then deleted it) showing emails between himself and FTP where Full Tilt actually OFFERED him the SN change (Kendog did NOT ask FTP for an SN change). - Link to post
    - FTP is yet to provide an explanation for actually offering an SN change.

    Very popcorn worthy...thought I'd share. Pretty happy I'm leaving FTP after the end of December.

    That's how winners play; we convince the other guy he's making all the right moves.

    So much cheating going on at FTP esp at the micros. WTF?

    I want to ask for a namechange just to see what happens.

    so after all this new legislation and shit goes through and we have gone through the blackout period, does that mean we will actually have a legitimate poker room that is actually audited by the US, i guess what im asking for is probably a pipe dream but surely shit will be better run after all the new rules are in place

    I think allowing a screenname change once a month or every 2 weeks is a great idea.

    Be careful what you wish for because you might just get it. Viva la rake, err I mean France.

    I think this is less about the SN change and more about FTP's handling of the situation. Something isn't right.

    People should be able to change their screennames mid-bet every bet.

    Can you change your identity in a live setting? (OK I suppose you could but ya'll know what I mean)

    Since it's clearly not doable (without a lot of work), why should we be allowed to change our identities online?

    Playing poker over the internet and playing poker with friends is a similar game, but not the same game. Online poker differs from live poker in many ways, why not just this one more?

    This is very sketchy if you ask me. I googled his username and did a bit of snooping, found this image on what appears to be his photobucket album, looks like he's been trying to blag people into pyramid schemes, or has got involved in one himself. He seems to have an interest in sports betting, and you'll also see he has dreadful taste in ties.

    His stats make interesting reading too. He seems to be doing better in HUSNGs with his new name, perhaps this could be due to the note advantage he now has over his rivals.

    I suspect either someone was criminally hounding him, or he's got some useful contacts.

    I dreamed last night that BooG was an Iranian superuser whose poker winnings are funding their nuclear programme. Now I'm scared to go out.

    That was a long thread. Does anyone know under what conditions FT will allow the name change?

    It seemed like FT's only real mistake was changing it while the guy was playing.

    edit:
    FTPSean says they will not divulge the reasons for allowing a name change. Only that it's rare. However, the guy who had his sn changed posted emails showing that FTP offered him the chance to change his name, he didn't request it. Maybe he fell into one of the exceptional categories without being aware of it, who knows.

    And they lied about it in the thread, either that or they sent a phoney email to KenDog after he was exposed for him to post in the forum, thus diverting attention away from him.

    FT's conduct seems more questionable than KenDog's. He's but one person, FT is a company that a huge amount of people put their trust in.
