When the discussion of RTA is brought up i have seen/read you mention that you have ~10 players that you suspect of stuff, how come you dont ever mention who you think those players are?

Surely it is good for you to bring concerns to the table and allow those players to quickly and easily subdue those concerns

Because it would just be slandering. Shouldnt ever play w rep of people with no solid f-in proof

Slandering would be if you proclaimed 100% they're cheating. Coming out with a statement like "I'm suspicious because of these reasons" should be encouraged. Because how often does anyone have solid proof for these things? The evidence in the Kruse thread is about as solid as it will ever get and still there have been people not satisfied that it's proven beyond any doubt. This "be silent until you have 100% undeniable solid proof" just saves cheaters and makes their life really easy.

Well it's possible that they deal with rumours/concerns internally within the high stakes community. Perhaps that is the optimal way to do it but then it does make it very inhibiting for anyone who wants to play in those games as they are not aware of the people who may or may not have suspicion.

What filismies did with linus might also not have been the optimal way but he got a response and linus cleared his name very quickly. I reckon there is a better way than straight outting someone vs keeping it very hush hush.


Even with all the evidence against Kruse it took days for someone to actually post his SN

I'd like to formally accuse HoleInOne11 of being the biggest RTA cheat in the whole of poker he has been getting away with it for years and I'm sick of it!! I have no proof but have a very strong feeling about this.

Do you see how this doesn't really work?

Excellent argument, A+

shouldn't ever claim you know 10 cheaters on a public platform with hundreds of viewers, and then do nothing about it.

not suggesting to do this without any proof and just feeling.

Dono just wondering where the line is between a feeling and proof might lie

I apoligise I kinda misunderstood your thoughts and and thought you were ok with the Filimmes example you used which showed how making accusations on feeling alone is terrible.


As for the bolded I'm really not sure so will shut up

We have a skype chat with virtually every reg in the game where we discuss who is suspicious, and how we can make the game as fair as possible.

There is no upside to me throwing out names in a public forum with no concrete evidence. That may really hurt them and that is not my intention.

UPDATE

BB GRAPH


Last few months, graph now fully updated and accurate

It's been quite a while since I updated my graph, and it's about time.
In the last few weeks, I have put in 20k+ hands after having gotten my GG account back and finally kicked the mediocre run I was on. I managed to import lots of 200/400 and 75/150 action on ACR as well and some other sites, to make my graph as accurate as possible.

2018 was an amazing year, being able to win 7 figures.
2019 was quite disappointing with 'only' 80k winnings playing some of the highest stakes, being down for most of the year .

The first few months of 2020 started off poorly. Running below EV, lots of coolers, low win rate on paper. Very frustrating and demoralizing.
But I didn't give up, put in good volume and worked on my game and I'm back to running good.
Obviously, I won quite a bit in huge games, but I also played a ton of 5k - 20k games and was quite happy with my performance. See BB graph.

The games have also been very good despite unfortunate circumstances in the world.
They've gotten a lot worse in the last few days, like a delayed WSOP summer dip.
That's okay. I'll be flying home tomorrow to spend time with my friends, family and dogs and take it easy for a few days.
Then, right back to the grind. I ran quite a few very cool sims that I'll be studying soon, and hopefully I'll have some new moves at the tables next week.

I'm going to record some more coaching videos for the Bluffthespot Lab+ on my days off. I just finished recording a 200/400NL and 500 1k 2kNL video, but I have many more ideas in mind. I'm not sure in what order they'll be released but there's a lot of great content in the lab already, so go check it out if you want to improve your game.

Enough talking, let's see some hands.

See you guys on stream tomorrow.

lol at the spike around 55K hands. Glad to see these results and HH’s. Thx for the update Mixgrill.

Yeah wtf, it's like 550k in maybe 1k hands? Wild stuff, wp

I won a ton on ACR, party, GG and a few other sites during those hands. I just edited it to only show the BB graph because it shows all results and not just those, otherwise it looks too much like a money brag instead of the hard work I've been putting in at all stakes.

Run good when it matters. I forgot to do it for a while but I've been hanging out with a lot of luckboxes and it rubbed off.

Oh, so that’s the key. Noted. Clutch free tip.

Congrats on the results

How tilted were you after the Chidwick hand with T9o? I know you don't get to where you are with tilt issues but surely this was another level, especially when it was one of your first few 200knl sessions.

A bit tilted but moreso ashamed. I've always had a high misclick rate, it just happened at the wrong time.


Streaming Bit2Easy vs Stefan match in 5 minutes, come join!

which street was the misclick? If it was just pf, I doubt you are losing that much EV just purely from that.

Pre-flop was a misclick. I had QQ at 75/150 on ACR, brainfarted and thought it was on GG.
Flop turn and river all could have been checked. I chose to take the aggressively line this time and paid for it.
