The reason he and most pros win is because they are doing something different from the norm.
When a guy bets into a 665 board it's called a "donk lead" and that is almost never a real hand, if he would of flopped a big hand he would always check it.
To fold KK is pretty easy playing 5-5 no limit and its 1800 to you, I doubt someone is doing that with QQ and if he is there are better spots.
I really don't want to go over every hand and explain to many of you why pros do certain things. Mike didn't play flawless, He is a very good player that sometimes goes for value when I would not. I would of probably of checked the river on the KK5 flop and hope I was against JT or a flush draw, He went for value and got it!
To accuse someone with cheating with no real proof is beyond terrible IMO. When playing on TV or a live stream you should be more active or entertaining or you probably won't be invited back and it's really great for your image to be active or bluffing because that will get you really light calls later on.
I want to say it again because it's super important.
TO ACCUSE SOMEONE OF CHEATING WITHOUT PROOF IS BEYOND TERRIBLE!

What qualifies as proof though? Surely you have to agree there is enough evidence here to at least lodge an allegation. If no one were allowed to accuse anyone of anything without 100% concrete proof then no cheaters would ever get caught.
If he’s indeed innocent then he shouldn’t have anything to worry about and can continue crushing with plays such as getting it in 3 ways pre with 54o as a favourite
