Hi all,
Ill give a brief summary of my poker history before I go into this to hopefully help with credibility.
I've been playing online poker professionally for 12 years now. I've played on loads of sites and over this period and have around $1.5 million in earnings. In all of this time I have cried "super user" once and it was shown to be so. Link is here

I've played on PPPoker for around 2 years and have made $150k-ish there. During a lot of that period PPP has been my best site so I really really didn't want to believe what I was beginning to suspect was happening there.
A couple of weeks ago I was playing HU with someone (new account with only 200 hands or so) with pf stats around 55/10 (sweet right!?). A few hands into the match I 3b with 47s. Flop comes 36Tr. I cbet 1/3 and villain calls. Turn is Q and I bet 2/3 pot and villain calls. River is an A. I make pot sized river shove with my busted gutter on an incredibly strong board for my range obviously and villain calls me for the win with J2 off.
With that hand and his stats I still think its possible that he is a whale or misread or misclicked so we proceed to play for another 15 minutes or so and he proceeds to never make a river "mistake" for the remainder of the game. IE he never calls with a worse hand and always calls when I'm bluffing. He does not however try to run me over when I have medium or weakish hands (doesn't try to bluff me off of A hi when he has K hi) or get maximum value out of hands like he could.
I told my affiliate about this and he started watching the game as well but the guy left shortly after as I continued to play, praying for any sign that villain is NOT a super user. Right after he leaves another new account with only a 100 or so hands sits me with similar stats and proceeds to play the same way for a short period and then leave. This happened one or two more times that day. Ill add that it is easy and common to have multiple accounts here.
My affiliate reported my experience to the club (King poker ***) and I hoped to hear back something although I was skeptical if I would ever really be able to trust it fully again no matter what happened from there.
Despite that I continued to play there afterwards and play resumed to "normal" for a couple of weeks until very recently when a couple of new accounts popped up playing in the same manner and without making "mistakes".
They are fairly passive, distinctive (easy for me to pick out) and by no means maximizing there alleged super user abilities so when I've suspected an account I have played longer than I should have (hoping for proof one way or another) but haven't had to lose a ton to them. I'm maybe down 4 or 5k to them and we are playing 1-2k-ish games.
Just like in the Play2B situation linked above, I don't really suspect anything to come of this. At least in the other case I could present hand histories and combine them with other players who had played with the same villains. On pppoker I've never used any software and they don't store the hand histories AFAIK. I'm just putting this out as a warning to others and if you have had similar experiences please share or pm me here. Gl all
*** Just wanted to note that the club is "kingpower" not "king poker".
