I'll stick with my same old story, I think he's cheating somehow and I have no proof. Don't play him. Don't play Jacklyn. They are REALLY good at the app !
You heard wrong - I was never broke (or as you put it "went from having no money"), reading that made me laugh. I am sitting here looking through all my OFC records. You are correct in that I moved up in the stakes that I was playing over time. I did this for the same reasons that most players move up in stakes: my skill level increased and as a result my bankroll increased.
The very first person I played for $ on the app was at $5/point in July of 2015. By August of 2015 I was already being accused of cheating (which is funny as I was NOT very good back then, but was better than my opponent which is all that matters in this game.) I remember distinctly sitting in a live cash game when a reg told me that this OFC opponent felt that the guy I was dating at the time was playing for me on the app. Another reg at the table verified that he too had heard this. I got upset, one of them said "you should take it as a complement" and I subsequently decided to address the opponent directly. He told me "I didn't really mean that, I was just tilted" and we moved on. (Fwiw, ironically my exboyfriend was not an OFC player at that time. Hooray for misogyny. How could a girl possibly win?)
The only reason I am bringing up this story is because a year and a half later, the same opponent accused me of cheating again, as your rumor had spread to him. He then went on to tell me that if I gave him back everything he lost to me at $10 a point, he would not spread the rumor any further, but that if I did not, he would spread it. (He said all of this in writing, in texts.) I responded that I would happily play him live for everything he lost. He ignored my offer. A couple of months later, he blew up my phone again, calling me a cheater and threatening that if I didn't stop playing "his friends" on the app he would tell them that I was cheating. For the second time, I told him he was welcome to play me live for everything that he had lost... and for the second time, he ignored my offer. Again, all this is documented in writing should he decide to post on here and dispute any of it.
Luckily, the friends of a different opponent who I beat on the app have proposed a situation where we play live (I am leaving out names here as I have not asked anyone's permission to use their name.) This opponent and I have been texting and although the exact parameters of the game have not been set up, it is looking like it will take place in Florida some time after the LAPC. I would hope that his (or his friends') assessment of the game and of my skill level will be posted somewhere so that my name can be, to some extent, cleared from this matter. Unfortunately, it will never be completely cleared as is the nature of this kind of thing.
Jason, you're right, for the most part I will play anyone. There is also a list of people I won't play (I don't think posting it would serve any purpose) and I won't play them because from the information I have, I think they are better than me or that in some cases, our skill levels are similar enough that it would be a waste of both parties time.
In looking through my records there are three people who have beaten me for a semi-significant number of points. As I put in more hands, discussed strategy with others (Fernando included), and found other public resources designed to improve one's game, I felt confident enough to rechallenge these three people. One declined. One accepted and we are currently playing now (I have been ahead the entire time since our rematch.) The third player played me for a short period and then quit, indicating to me that he didn't feel comfortable with how quickly my level of play had changed. I wasn't upset about this as I saw his perspective... so I moved on... and challenged more people, and beat more people, and since Fernando is a friend of mine rumors of him cheating were linked to me. In addition to more than a dozen regular opponents quitting me, much like Fernando, about a half dozen agreed to play me and then backed out (presumably after talking to Jason or Natasha, as 100% of them have known ties to them.) I can't overstate how much these rumors have hurt my action and reputation. Do I think this entire thing is unfair? Of course. But life isn't fair.
Take away point: I will be playing someone I beat on the app live. I am confident in my game and thus I am not going to lose sleep over this.
Additionally, if Jason accepts Fernando's live challenge, I am willing to take side action as I am confident Fernando is a huge favorite to win.
