1) hh export from pt4, when loaded in a variety of of databases from pt4 to h2n it reads as 16k unique hands no duplicates but if you review the hh you'll see a lot of duplicates
there are chunks that are normal like this
but then other blocks like this
as seen from excel above, the identical hands are often repeated at different intervals so the mirrored hands here are also found at another session as well
but importantly, none of the databases recognize these as duplicates because the hand number is different
these are all mirrored but the hand numbers are different so they are viewed as unique hands, it's the same as the ones shown above
2) pokerstars
3) caught live while playing
4) pt4
so the total win/loss are supposedly accurate despite that the hhs aren't
if i use pt4 to export to csv and then in excel create a new column combining all actions like flops/holdings/won/loss/villain/flops/etc via =A2&B2&C2etcetc and then using that column to remove duplicates it shrinks the database from 16k hands to 5k so a ton of the hands ae identical
this is a stake and we've just started, he's unclear how this happened himself, if i isolate to the 5k genuinely unique hands then it's fairly similar results but not quite as many losses
while i'm definitely a bit concerned over this, he has good references from prior stables and we're talking about moving up after building some rapport at this lower level so the incentive to scam isn't high, nor would it make sense at this juncture, nor would it make sense to put in this much work manipulating a database that he knows would be reviewed where i'd so easily see it when he could instead just ghost as is standard
so i don't think he's scamming as it'd be a really odd time and way to go about it, but at the same time feel really weird about the situation
