You never stated the games you are playing, but I suspect the other player is correct in that he will never see you at the 3/6+ tables. I am not saying this to mock you, rather I would ask why would they choose lower stakes and a slower game to deal if they had this super ability you are paranoid about.
You are doing your analysis backwards in that you are believing you are seeing certain things then trying to jam some theory that would make it possible. That aint how that works.
Add to it your need to whine and use hyperbole (like when you saw the weirdest hand ever when it was a pretty mundane one) and it is hard to take your observations seriously, and that is before realizing that if they were somehow true then they likely would not be in the games you are in anyways.

Yeah, weirdness. People see that all the time everywhere, and never think its because they are paranoid. As to whining - that is the main ingredient in nearly all your posts, whether its silly like quad knobs or extra whiny like describing "impossible" play from opponents whenever you lose a hand.

Ooh spooooooky. Who cares? You think that you seeing him suddenly made him realize that he should not try to hack/superuse the micros any more?

They are constantly sitting on 200-2000 bb stacks, day after day, week after week. I've never seen a fish like this before. Yesterday I saw him sitting on 11 buyins at one table, 15 buyins at another table, and 2-800bbs on the other 4 tables. I've seen massive LP fish sitting on 15 buyin stacks before, but I've never seen it happen every day over days and weeks. It's totally possible this is a good postflop player pretending to be a fish, but why would anyone do that on a site that doesn't allow stat tracking? Say what you want about luck and variance, the odds of a player that is 80/0 being a winning player is very small, especially in the high rake environment that is global.
I remember the good old days on a network called the Cryptos where plays you think were impossible were happening every day. I sat at a $50 buy in table (likely a limit you play) where one player was being 100 100 anhd seeing nearly every showdown.
By the end of the session I had lost nearly 8 buy ins to him, but boy the rest of the table were happy with the 3K he spewed to them (including my 400ish).
Was that a super user whop could see my cards or a donk that got lucky vs me but had math smack him with the other players? SImilarly when you see this donk that has 15 buy ins, what you dont see is how many times he has lost his stack at the table before having that balance.
Still, no doubt you enjoyed whining about it, so continue to do so as needed.
All the best.
