Geniaal! Een gast op twoplustwo stuurde de volgende mail naar een aantal pokersites:

Dear sir/madam,

I am hoping that you can clarify your policy regarding shared accounts. I enjoy playing on your site, but when I go for work I want to let my pet monkey Nibbles play on my account. He is still learning, and won't be playing as high as me but I think he can beat the $3/6 at the moment. Here is a picture of him at his birthday party last week. . Is it ok for him to play under my username, or should I set up a seperate account for him? Also, do you have any age restrictions? Nibbles is only 14 but in human years that is 42 so I figure he should be fine to go, just wanting to make sure.

Thanks in advance,

Dean

Helaas doet de foto het niet meer maar de reacties zijn genius!

Pokerstars begon slecht met een standaardmailtje maar kwam even later terug met een geniale respons:

Hello Dean,

Your email was brought to my attention and I would like to clarify a few
points regarding our shared account policy.

First, it is generally not a good idea to let your pet monkey play on your
account as no good can come of it. Either he will lose, costing you money,
or he will win more than you, in which case the master-pet relationship may
be reversed in continued evidence that evolution works correctly. In such a
case, it might be you running around the house in a diaper asking for a
banana, while your monkey drives your car, sleeps in your bed, and enjoys
what is now your life. Generally speaking, I do not think this is worth the
risk for you.

Finally, as per standard poker traditions, there is really only one sort of
animal allowed to play poker, and that is the donkey. I wish you the best
of luck in your hunting for them.

Regards,

Jacob

Hello Dean,

Thank you for your email, and the lovely picture of Nibbles.

We have no problem with Nibbles using your account while you are away at
work. Keep in mind however, that you must make it clear he is to stay
at limits of 3/6 or lower. It would unnerving at best to come home from
a hard days work and find that Nibbles has blown through a serious chunk
of your online bankroll playing heads up against John Juanda.

Alternatively, we could open an account for him, but he would have
trouble proving that he is indeed of age, as he likely has no birth
certificate or driver?s license. Further, he would have to fund the
account via player to player transfers, presumably from your account.
With the obvious difficulties he will have in obtaining a payment
processor, combined with the fact that he will be funding the account
with your money, you may as well just let him use your account.

On a more serious note, thank you for your e-mail. It has been a busy
day here at support, and your e-mail came as a welcome breath of fresh
air. It was shared through the office, and many of the staff got a
chance to look at your picture of Nibbles.

Regards,
