Probably the biggest struggle I had was that the 6c games that I was playing (in the softest club we have access to atm) was all 35% min vpip games. Min vpip just so gross with high rake. Mostly play no min vpip games but they are worth in this particular club.

Random non poker rant

Tron is the worst crypto network I've ever used. I don't really use crypto much, and received a profit split in USDT TRC20 (tron network). Ok, found someone to swap me for CAD, lets send it over.

Oh wait, I need tron tokens. Ok, I'll just move some of my USDT TRC20 over to TRON. Huh? I need TRON tokens to do that transaction as well?? Ok, so I just can't swap or send my USDT.

Cool.

Well, I can just purchase some TRON tokens and then swap it over. Not a huge issue, just need like $10 of TRON tokens to make a transaction. Let me just open up the in app purchases in exodus.... Oh. Since I'm in Canada, and not with one of the few banks that does crypto, none of my banks will allow crypto purchases, and exodus isn't accepting other payment methods.

Cool.

Well, I can just go to coinbase, purchase some TRON and then send it over... Oh. Coinbase doesn't sell USDT or Tron, because I'm in Canada.

Well **** me, right?

Ninjas ended up sending me TRON, and I got swapped to BTC and sold it. But man, from a beginner crypto user perspective, this totally turns me off crypto as a whole.

Breh. Ur just a crypto noob.

Tron pretty goated.

I’ll have to learn it at some point

It tilted me reading your crypto rant. Use DEXes. Figure out how to get gas to different chains. Self-custody. Avoid CEX unless you absolutely have to.

TIL abt DEX

Fkn brutal run lately, if not getting colluded this is bottom 8% run. Not helpful that even though I've been cleared from a skill perspective, I have to win either 6 buy ins, or 9 buy ins of EV in order to move up to 3/6. Which I was really hoping would happen, but instead have just had a rough time.

Ignoring the PLO6 disaster, we're annihilating for 18.5bb/100 ev. Have made abt 3.2k in rakeback so far as well.

Overall quite frustrated with the run, think it's pretty likely I've been getting colluded at PLO200 at some point. Every site 1/2 is harder than 2.5/5 or 2/4. It's just so much easier for cheaters to blend in with the larger player pool at 200s.

Basically taking my results since profit split, posted below



Seems highly unlikely that I am not getting colluded, to be honest. Stable suspected we were getting colluded recently, and had talked to some unions abt it. 37 BI below EV in 10k hands wtf lol.

ignoring the 15 buyin punt in 700 hands at plo6 is convenient. nice winrate without it youre crushing i have high hopes for you i know youre gonna make it!!!

What do you have against KnoxKnoxJoke?

He’s been obsessed with anti-sweating this blog and being hateful since I called him out for RTA usage. This was after he reached out to me under false pretences and tried to get me to join him as a “student”, and I found out he was a well known grifter in the community.

If I feel like he’s a net negative force on the blog I’ll just ban him again. But I’m sure it’s entertaining to read his garbage every now and then LOL.

Very suspicious hand I played today



Looks like the way that we've seen accounts collude on ignition, TBH.

Only called bc I thought it looked a lot like collusion.

Believe that we are at the point where spotting collusion from stuff like back raises is unlikely to be effective. It's too easy to detect, and cheaters have moved onto more sophisticated strategies.

Theory wise, on this river I'm capped. When IP bets and gets raised, they can bluffcatch a good amount. If I had to guess I'm probably folding close to range. I can't really bluffcatch OOP with these pure bluffcatcher hands, since I also have to be concerned abt IPs range.

So what does this mean? OOP can generate EV by XRing value, and some bluffs. IP will have some bluffcatches that are better than folding, (ie they generate EV). Both of them have pot share.

For me though, after a bet and a raise I have virtually no pot share, since I'm not really continuing much.

This means that as a colluder, you can just print in this spot every time. And that's why historically the accounts do it on ignition. Because if the guy in the middle of the sandwich knows what's going on here in theory but not in practice, they won't do **** to stop it.

Turns out, IP was actually a stable member. And had

KsQdJhTc7s (single suited)

incredibly strange squeeze, but post seems fine. Still quite suspicious IMO, especially when considering that these two hands have zero overlap. Although, there's a point that if they were colluding, BTN would just rejam over me. But that would also be extremely obvious. IDK, weird situation.

What evidence do you have that Portemilio used RTA?

He was (self admittedly, there’s threads abt it) formerly a member of the Squid stable, that had members use RTA to beat the games for around 20bb/100ev.

Here's Portemilio's post where he defends himself:

He says he was banned for staking, not RTA, and was refunded all his money. Do you actually have evidence that he used RTA?

Additionally, how do you respond to his point that you are friends with two members of the exact same stable, Spork and Panda?

I struggle to see why you throw around the RTA accusations at Portemelio, when (1) there's no direct evidence that he ever used RTA, and (2) your best friend/ coach is an admitted cheater but you defend him for doing the same.

I won't post the site here because I'm not gonna advertise a cheating software, but if you are interested shoot me a DM on discord, and I'll show you the program the members of the stable used. It's still available online!

"Additionally, how do you respond to his point that you are friends with two members of the exact same stable, Spork and Panda?"

Not friends with Panda, and Spork readily admits his involvement in the operation, unlike Port.

https://imgur.com/a/squid-spork-dms-2p2-dump-kXjsrse Here is a Squid + Spork DM dump that Spork himself posted. That goes a long way with me for believing someone has changed.

Additionally, Spork and I don't even interact outside of a discord server we are both in. I don't want to make it seem like we're closer than we really are.

"(2) your best friend/ coach is an admitted cheater but you defend him for doing the same"

I don't defend Sporks cheating at all actually, I think ppl are completely justified in not wanting to play with him, and telling other ppl that he used to use RTA. Definitely not my best friend, definitely not my coach.

"He says he was banned for staking, not RTA, and was refunded all his money."

So, here's the actual email they sent him



"The RECENT wins can not be attributed... Due to timeline discrepancies". The fact that he was refunded money does not mean that the site doesn't have evidence of him cheating.

Here is Spork "the other players on the list are all 100% using postflop rta as I've firsthand seen them doing it and also was in the voice chat when they were trying to save face in their email". Portemilio wasn't on this list originally, as they were still friends at the time afaik from digging a little bit on 2p2. They later had a falling out. I believe this is why Spork was clear to say that there were a couple others he "may have forgotten about" (obviously this makes no sense how would you forget about ppl in a stable that small).

Also Spork

" - portemilio (squid stable)
(got unbanned somehow, came back and sent me dms on hands and could not hold a remotely intelligent conversation about a hand history but somehow moonshot from 200plo to playing anyone and everyone at up to 2k. Every time he asked me for my opinion on how he plays a hand, just screenshots visions if it disagrees with me or says sounds good or something along those lines. Now rebanned.)
Notice how he's somehow permanently banned and I'm not? Global doesn't magically choose me as a favorite."

There is even more evidence all available on 2p2, but I understand that people have no reason to take the time to dig through hundreds of posts.

so you have no actual evidence but hearsay from a guy who admitted to cheating and doesn't like me. just stfu knoxknox you're a joke genuinely. ty to megawhale someone with half a brain. again to reiterate, nothing you provided is evidence of anything.

this is just fake news almost everyone in that stable was losing again just spewing false information. Noone won money there. I left early because i was 16k in makeup and was a losing player who had no idea how to play omaha at the time and was in school. Your ability to just make up information and throw it out as a fact is extremely damaging, which I've told you multiple times. Just like you said I was faking graphs but took it back because you realized I wasn't. I urge you to maybe come to the realization that maybe you're doing the same thing now. I highly doubt you will based on your thread because you are a delusional recreational who is clearly losing, so intelligence isn't one of your fortes. If anyone wants to actually learn how to play the game and see good results come to my thread:
https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/1...s-plo-1837100/
I've been playing PLO for years.

fyi, spork saying "he wasn't able to hold an intelligent conversation" is actually braindead. He would try to argue with me that solver outputs are wrong and his plays are better and i would tell him to check the solution because he had no basis for what he was saying, and then when'd he check the solution and see he was wrong he'd just cry and mope. I'm an extremely exploitative player but my baseline is GTO and I know how to play most spots in the game tree. One's ability to maybe not explain their thoughts as well as they execute them doesnt mean theyre cheating. NOT PROOF!

Evidence of Port reaching out to me regarding staking



Asks me if I've used Monker for preflop



Still interacting with Squid in his discord server for his RTA product after all the information came out about him being a colossal scumbag



Admitting that he was a part of the 2018 RTA stable.

Instead of being obsessed with me why don't you focus on getting good at the game? How long have you been a pro and how much money have you made. Some actual transparency on your end would be nice. This is a poker blog to Highstakes and you seem to only post when youre winning "20bb/100". How about you post your lifetime graph so we can actually see what type of player you are.

And I'm not even going to respond to your message above you're bringing up things from almost 6 years ago now you're a disgusting human. And none of this is evidence once again. Me asking you if you've used monker to study preflop isn't me telling you to cheat you imbecile. And just so everyone knows, knox knox did a live play and explain for me for 30 mins. 10 mins in my brain was hurting and i knew I was never ever going to give this guy the time of the day. he is an absolutely terrible player with ego issues who thinks hes way above than he is. again, i urge you guys to check out my thread to see what winning at 20bb/100 actually looks like

TY to megawhale, someone with a full brain.

Just hu4rollz already.

If he wants to I’m down :P

It's very funny you mention the RTA-stable like it was OK because you were losing and that "it was LITTERALLY in 2018" .. Like it is irrelevant because it is a long time ago. Not entirely sure it makes sense to ask him to stop mentioning your name either when you seem to blast both knox and spork every chance you get for years

I’m shocked you openly admitted to scamming your backer out of 16k.
But I guess it’s par for the course with people like you. Managed to convince yourself you are so in the right there, that you could post about it. Laughable and delusional.
