im not on either side of the fence and i am suspicious. the info doesnt add up to cheating yet in my experience.

Did you have invisible ink in your hair somehow or what did you do exactly? The napkins stuff almost sounds over the top.

Are you guys real? It's not even like the article about this guy cheating was years ago, that would be bad enough. The article is from last month. You guys are happily defended a confirmed scammer whose stolen thousands from poker players for the sake of arguement, devils advocate? This is not a well known poker player we are accusing here or anything. We are accusing a scam artist portraying himself as a poker player. The cheaters will always be ahead of the system. Obviously I'd hope to get a refund, but what I'd really prefer is a fair opportunity to win the heads up tourny and that was not provided to me nor is that going to happen untill hopefully 2016. What I'd like to accomplish and probably what most of you should want is

1) Never see this guy's face again
2) Figure out how he was cheating NOT if and how we could prevent it in the future.
3) This being a learning experience for everyone involved and this somehow pushing poker rooms to eventually share with other rooms who cheaters are. Now I'm not sure this is attainable but I'd hope things like this push that discussion on how we can get better.

I'm just here spreading truth and making the world a better place. YW!

We know hes a scammer how? was he convicted? you know dozens of players were just thrown out of london casino for being "cheaters" but basically they were just bumhunting douchebags.

He cheated in this instance how? by beating you in a HU sitngo?

I agree there should be an investigation but to say we shouldnt think critically about the evidence provided so far is asinine.

Im not rooting against you im rooting for the truth.

Ya don't say.

Knowing 4 deuces is a massive edge.

Huh ?

LOL at suing anyone but more importantly who are you ?

I remain confused as to why people who are not limon are allowed to post in NVG.

this. everyone is so quick to assume he's going to be dealt every A and K in the deck in a couple of levels.

He has history for this though. So the guy is a cheat.

Just assume he is using some sort of ink, then it's easy to use a single dot for lets say a then, two dots for a jack and so on. After 10 or so hands you will have marked a significant number of cards, which will only increase with every hand played.

and he made such a long and dramatic post lol

Why didnt op request a new deck during the match?

The superusers on UB were discovered by people putting together all their databases of hands played on the site. This time again players do the same thing sharing their reads/facts/hands and their collective conclusion is that they somehow got cheated by a guy who is banned all over Europe and people have the nerve to come with allegations of civil suits at people voicing their anger ? Lowlife garbages.

Facing a bet of 3k, how is a single chip of 5k not an automatic call?

It sucks for the people affected, that even if it's found that the person did cheat, and they get their buy-in back, there's no way of giving them back that chance to compete. Like maybe they'd have been eliminated prior to making ITM anyways, but maybe they'd have won too - so that's impossible to replace ... that chance to play ...

Guess in an ideal world, it'd be nice if the people in charge were to stay on top of developments in technology, and put preventative measures in place before something actually happens (by using a shoe with a built-in detector, or whatever). But maybe things move too fast for them to stay ahead of things, who knows ...

Doesn't the new decks used in this WSOP have RFID? At least for the FT's they do, and if that's the case you could make an argument for him to have some way of receiving information and interpreting the card information. I have no clue about how it could be done, but from the first time I heard about it I thought it was a huge risk.

and stalling & shuffling EVERY hand dictates the same, why dont just openfold ****ty hands and move on? c'mon, guy marked every ****in single card in the deck or none of them.

In 40 deals I think you are expected to see a little more than 3 each of the Aces, Kings, and Queens, and around 9.5 of them in total.

While this is no guarantee of marking every high card, it is surely enough to give any competent player a huge edge in any heads-up match.

The OP of this thread actually has nothing at all to do with it.

he had to run around/above expectation in getting high cards in order to beat 4 world class HU players in a row.

I honestly do not know what you are saying.

As explained in this thread, he folded a ton of hands early on which was not overly damaging to his stack as the structure is so deep.

And supposing he saw three distinct aces, kings, and queens in his first 40 deals (this is conservative), he can see the fourth ace, and/or fourth king, and/or fourth queen in subsequent hands when he became more active and more aggressive.

Everybody who has ever played poker would agree that knowing the vast majority of the aces, kings, and queens (differential marking in all likelihood) would give a player a huge edge.

What I don't understand is why the hell he would have to ask to see someones stack?

You both start with 100k? (200k chips total) So he can just look at his stack and know how much you got behind as well.. I'm not sure why nobody has mentioned this yet, atleast i never saw it...

Seems extremely sketchy to me can't wait to hear the outcome

He is asking the see the other players stack as a ruse to actually get a better look at the backs of their cards.
