Win a bunch of quick hands, then donkey them off to another player...
I'm sure it's dumb luck, but I have witnessed a number of really strange all in calls (and pushes) where the players with the worst of it (by a mile) have hit... and it seems to happen in bunches... This was just one example...

We all know about Potripper and NioNio etc using their superuser abitity very stupidly in the highest games going.
What about a clever superuser? Where would we find one?
If I were a superuser here s what I would do.
1. I would not play high limits. I would probably stick to 100NL and lower and low limit tourneys like 2-11$ buyins not the WCOOP or 100$ entries, maybe winning an occasional bigger tournament for a few thousand bucks.
2. I would keep my stats believable, not 60/40+ but more conservative like 25/17.
3. I wouldnt be making 9 high calls with no hand whatsoever vs good bluffs.
4. I would make sure I lost to regular players a good % of the time.
5. I would only make a few hundred dollars a day to keep under the radar.
My point is we ve seen a few stupid superusers get caught but what about the clever disciplined ones, assuming there are any. Wherever they are I know it wouldnt be 100/200$ No limit. Ive suffered those terrible beats, particularly on Pokerstars where it defies explanation why the opponent has played a hand a certain way similar to the hands Webiggy has posted above. It feels like your being cheated.
