This is an absurd post.
You're basically saying that they have found a way to break the laws of mathematics that apply to everyone else. It is true that someone may HAVE ran well (past tense) but it's ridiculous to assume someone DOES run well.
In reality what you're probably seeing are some showdowns where they have been fortunate to hit some hands, while at other times they have forced you off your hand when they missed their draws. No doubt you're also slow playing some big hands which also only get to showdown if they don't improve. This gives a skewed impression of hitting their draws more often than they should. Add in some selective memory and you have a better explanation than what you suggest.
I wasn't saying they run well every day of their lives, just around the last couple of months and lately. Actually lately not that great just normally. I probably have been a bit too subjective and haven't been paying attention to the stuff they do right. They probably have great 2 and 3barreling skills and just very good postflop reads.
It wasn't my intention to randomly spew a bunch of hate in my first post, next time i'll choose my words more selectively. It's just that some plays they make really just baffles me. And i found this example. I also had a conversation with redacesfull about this hand via chat. Redacesfull had kings.

This is exactly what i was talking about earlier. They do this kinda thing a lot. And i gotta ask is this type of play profitable? Does anyone do this? Because i remember that when i call 4bets IP or OOP with suited, connected type hands and crack someone's big pair, they usually get mad at me and start calling me names through the chat. But that's better than calling with small pairs right? This table was full a few hands earlier but they do it too when it's full ring and even when they're not deep only 100bb. And IP and OOP.
But yeh if everyone disagrees with me and says they're solid regs then it's probably time for me to throw in the towel. I obviously didn't know they have the biggest winrates of 200nl so they must be doing a ton right. I get that now.
