i have a pokerfriend ,he does this all the time...he plays at 2 different locations
1 in internet cafe,,, but when the internetcafe is about to close ,he rushes home to play on over there,, in the meanwhile from cafe to his house he let's others play for him ,untill he arrives at his own adress... So that's cheating???
i'd say ,that's the best way to protect his stack untill he gets home.. gonna have to warn him on this mather , i know he would be devastated if his account would be closed because of this.
