There is no way to check them online, and through audit work for applicants to our stable I've been shocked at the number of people who have posted completely false graphs that fall down on an account audit. Common cheat is just to remove 73o, 83o etc.
Don't believe graphs you see on the internet. In fact, one of the only ways I would believe someone is crushing is if they freeroll themselves giving x% of their winnings to charity.
Imo it's hard to prove that someone that posts at p&g has fake graphs, but it's possible to prove the opposite: people who post a lot of losing graphs as well as winning graphs are way more likely to be legit.
Just see benabadbeat, myself and ammadnav posting very sick downswings, usually in the fake threads everything is always good, then after a while they quit and when they come back there's always a sick crusher graph 100% godmode lol(or they just don't come back).
Also people who post small samples and never post a 1m hand graph, lifetime graphs. I don't get why people do that, it's way more interesting for everyone to see how hard poker can be and how variance is insane, as well as following someone go through those sick downswings. If I'm not wrong, galfond said at his "the well" that one thing that defines a poker pro is how he deals with his downswings.
Hiding them to look good isn't the most gto thing to do for the player and for the readers imo
