There were several players that all played a very the same style. Its a difficult style to describe, but basically they all kept the pot small at all times by min rzing pf and betting small %'s of the pot later on. I didnt think much of it at first but after I began to get suspicious when there were so many different guys that played the same. In addition they would all make small donk bets oop when I was weak. They never made these bets when I was strong. Also I could never or rarely get them to call a big bet with the worse hand on the river.
Something was just not right on PB. I've been a pro for over 10 years and won lots on many different sites. I had never played players with this horrible style and not be able to beat them.
Another thing I found odd on PB was my ability to get a game so easy. I often would open a 5-10 NL table and wait. On very small sites you often wait a long time for someone to sit down with you. Yet at PB someone would almost always sit with me within 5 minutes. The same was true of 10-20NL. Now this is a very small site that rarely had big games going so I found this odd also. When these players sat down they always played the same style and I never beat them.
Ive never thought I was being cheated on any other site. I am 99% sure Pitbull poker had cheaters when I was playing there.

I admit, I'm a paranoid guy when it comes to online poker, especially after the UB Scandal, but Pitbull took the cake for me.
I signed up with them and it was a hassle from Day 1 to get them to follow-through with promises, including a bonus that was advertised differently than what it ended up being. When I called customer service, I got some guy who pretty much told me "too bad, nothing we can do". In fact, that seems to be their customer service MO. Can't produce HH's, which is complete insanity. they can't credit you the true bonus they advertised, which is BS. Can't do crap.
Anyway, I was playing there for about two weeks and found that the traffic was just really poor, but there was suspect play. I was up about $250 playing $1/$2 when I started playing against a number of players who made REALLY suspicious plays. I took note but didn't think more of it. Then, I log on one day and am playing and all of a sudden, I see seat 6 dealt 10-2. The only reason I remember is thinking that they had some sort of promotion for getting a doyle Brunson
Strange that I could see an opponents cards - could they see mine as well?
About a week later, I'm playing $1/$2 NL and I have about $160 in front of me and the following hand came up:
Hero has 2-5o -
Raises to $12. Gets 2 callers. Flop comes Jh-10s-10c
Hero bets $24. SB folds. Other player calls.
turn is Kc.
Hero checks. Other player checks.
River is 8h.
Hero bets $75. Call.
Player 2 turns up 2-6.
There were three hands he could possibly beat.
Now, we can debate that I made a really poor play there, but you absolutely cannot call a $75 raise there without having something more than 6 high.
I left the table and cashed out the $60 I had left in my account that night and never logged on again.
