A week into 2010 and £10,000 in profit. Nice start, then it is wiped out in one hour in a situation I am not too happy with. I am going to give betfair the opportunity to look into it first, but seeing as their software team struggle so much with bugs in the software the odds of them spotting a hacker would be virtually zero. I am going to go over all the hand histories (I won virtually zero showdowns in an estimated 300 hands) and get a clearly picture. For now here are the two key hands the first two games. A much more indepth analysis will appear in my next post.

The first hand is absolutely moronic. It cannot be called advertising as if I dont call I don't see his hand (he had automuck on). If I call I have to be a minimum of 80% favourite no matter what I have. If I hold I have 3880 chips and am around 99%+ to win the game. It is a $2500 game and to play bad on purpose in a game in the hope of securing more games would not make sense as more often than not if you played one high stake game and lost your opponent would not rematch. The initial reason I sat was as I recognised the name as being a massive donator in $1000 games some time ago. I checked sharkscope and nothing was found so it was either over two years ago or the spelling was similiar with an extra space or something in the name. Either way it was never the same person playing yesterday as it was all that time back.
The second hand we see him check raise on the turn when around 9% to win the hand. Surprise surprise the K hits on the river, now if it doesn't hit he has to bet in which case I call and he loses. Over 6 games I do not think once I called a bet on the river and won. This is virtually impossible versus any player I will ever play. Nobody has played as many heads up sng on the betfair software as myself and I know something was not right.
If betfair fail to do anything about this I shall go into much more details, including my theories on why opponent timebank folded on small blinds, connection with 'stratomas' and an indepth analysis on every single hand I played.
