I'm that guy.

I have exactly the same experience as you. On Bovada. Something very suspicious.

You can tell when he's up and running because the list of games with 1 player waiting gets super short. He'll just keep joining/crushing everyone until they sit out.

I've also noticed a lot of times he'll join my table... he will time out before he posts his blind, and then will sit back and post. Don't know what the significance of that is.

hello there,
In general for As long as this site has been in existence people who bring up some real concerns about sites being rigged are flamed and made fun of. I've played a bunch of bovada and always gotten crushed by the very situations you are talking about. Weak players that somehow wake up at all the right times, the problem with this stupid attack mode people go into is that this could ACTUALLY be happening. Think about it; they are over seas no fear of us justice System and they have alllllll these American plYers what do we think they are too good to be greedy????? I don't ****ing think so. This is a completely anon site which means no seeing where the money goes but everyone is somehow so sure that every person noticing This is just a bad player?

If it's true or not true we need to have an open mind and possibly try to develop some software that takes a large sample and makes sure that the rng is right and the win rates are right. How many people played against those ****s at uni bet when they could see your hands and came on here only to be put down as whiny bad players? I bet more than one.

Report it

U can see the hhs and hole cards after 24hrs so that should solve anything suspicious.

played 2 exact players as you've stated in OP. at 50 and 100nl

anything come of this yet?

Anybody been playing the guy lately who snap joins multiple tables at a time and starts firing off odd number bets as mentioned in OP. Varies his buy-in amounts. Plays every day and seems impossible to beat. Would really like to get a private discussion going about how to beat this guy/computer.

I was going to say i experienced this for years on bovada. And whoever that player is runs like a super sayian god. I am surprised his seat is not lit up in blue. from 50nl up to 200nl. It sound crazy It is like this player can see the cards. He also plays sngs too same style. and its him over and over again. It makes you wonder if it a real player

No way to detect them through a hand history. A bot user even admitted he goes about it in ways so they aren't detected. These guys aren't stupid they wont make it obvious if they are cheating in some way. Only absolute poker was the one to make it super obvious they had a super user.

Hi
first time posting here but felt i needed advice
i have been playing on sky poker for a month or so and i noticed a player playing the heads up sng i played this player hundreds of times. many things seemed strange about his play and many players i had spoken to also stated this. i informed sky poker about this and they said thank you but you will not be informed on the outcome of the investigation. it has been two weeks since this and i haven't seen this player since which is strange as it played all the time. my problem is that sky are not being transparent i personally believe that if sky have found a bot playing on the site they should be transparent and refund all loosing games. am i being silly, should sky just ban the player and thats it, or should they refund loosing players there money ?

I have had this same exact experience on Bovada (over almost 200k hands) to the point I just stopped playing there. Between that and players that appear hyper aggressive but never showdown less than premiums (Because I think they play short matches and hop around and take advantage of the fact that by the time you realize it's that player you lost a stack with TPTK).

I don't run into this AT ALL on sites where there are screen names, even though the players are seasoned regs. I figured someone just figured out some very non-standard strategy for anon HUNL on Bovada (which to do must be technically strong so could easily have made a bot to do it) but it's just really hard to tell.

Unfortunately I think the sentiment that Bovada is foreign, unregulated, a black box,.... I could 100% see something shady going on.
