PS Ethics question

On pokerstars I'm sure you are all aware of the all-in "bug" i.e. reloading chips in the middle of hand (you believe you will win) to have more than you would normally. This has some practical applications, especially at a table where multiple (bad) players have 2x or more buyins.

What do you guys think of this? Abusing the system or playing smart?

if the system allows it, it is legal.

But, I've read something about PS reading HH"s for all-in abuse, and wondering if this is what they meant.

They're probably investigating all-in disconnection abuses, not this. I actually love this bug. I wish that I could do it on Party.

I actually discovered it by accident, had just taken a beat, lost about half my stack, was in the BB now as ai reloaded, flopped a boat, and got all-in, kinda cool when i'm trying to figure out where the extra 50bb's came from, then figuring it out.

I think the potential for abuse is balanced by the potential to have their bank cracked, repeatedly by people callign and beating them.
