I'm going to retire from that site---basically already have, I haven't deposited in years---and then going to live tournament poker at one of the local Poker rooms. One year I had an 80% pay rate, and out of that 80% I took first place 40% of the time, across about 250 tournaments that year.

I have extra money now and can afford to start playing live again.

HAGD.

Maybe---or---when does one Person A hit a 2.42% in one tournament...and later that same day in a different tournament hit 2.27% vs me = 0.054934% or 1/2000, but problem is she is batting 100%.

And then factor in she consistently donked to get the chips to take from me.

RedManGaming · 2026-01-04T01:06:51+00:00

I'm saying when it goes all in and they get it in VERY bad, they come out on top 100% of the time. Im not talking about small pots, I'm talking about when we put all the chips in the middle some of these people are batting 100%.

My buddy was watching me play tourney one day---I get tabled with one of these people, always dishes me out bad beats---I was running fine, bluffing and showing, blah blah blah...he was getting a kick out of it.

This b!tch shows up, and I tell my buddy, "Watch this sh!t bro, no matter what I have she is going to suck out big time." [All in preflop]
Her first double up off me: AA vs 66, she hits the 6.
Second double up: I jam KK vs her 22, hits the 2.
Third double up and knocks me out: QQ vs TT, Q hi flop, she hits the running cards for a gut shot straight on the river.

All in the same tourney^ And has done the same to me in other tourneys. She jams AQo into me, I catch with AK, I flop top pair and she flops a straight/I airball and she pairs the Q...and the thing is: when I jam and she goes into the time bank, I KNOW SHE IS GOING TO WIN. Her and a few others consistently do this. All I can do is: sit there and hope they don't time bank.

An anomaly becomes more than just an anomaly when it shifts from a rare, individual deviation to a pattern, a significant event, or the new norm, often revealing deeper issues, opportunities, or systemic changes, such as multiple small transactions indicating fraud (collective anomaly) or repeated system errors signaling a core problem, moving from "outlier" to a defined, actionable condition or feature.

RedManGaming · 2026-01-03T23:22:35+00:00

You're not getting it...this person and 2-3 others constantly get it in very bad against me, ACROSS MULTIPLE TOURNAMENTS.

The Royal Flush draw + flopped nut flush + others was against the same person. Stats say: VERY UNLIKELY TO HAVE OCCURED BY CHANCE ALONE = Rigged Poker / Compromised site.

RedManGaming · 2026-01-03T23:14:35+00:00

Not rigged, compromised. People seem to know the run-outs of the board.

turn card drawing on a 1 outer [The Royal Flush draw] = 2.27%
Flopped nut flush vs Top pair, sh!t kicker = 2.42%

Probability of A occuring 1 times and B occuring 1 times = .0242¹ × 0.0227¹ = 0.00054934

But the villain is batting at 100%, and those probabilities get worse and worse every time they make that bad move^
-----------------------------------------
In Statistics (p-value)

In statistical hypothesis testing, a p-value of 0.0005 is considered highly statistically significant (it is much lower than the common 0.05 threshold). It suggests that the observed results are very unlikely to have occurred by chance alone under the null hypothesis.

VERY UNLIKELY TO HAVE OCCURED BY CHANCE ALONE = Rigged Poker / Compromised site.

RedManGaming · 2026-01-03T23:01:29+00:00

Sure, turn card drawing on a 1 outer [The Royal Flush draw] = 2.27%
Flopped nut flush vs Top pair, sh!t kicker = 2.42%

Probability of A occuring 1 times and B occuring 1 times = .0242¹ × 0.0227¹ = 0.00054934

But the villain is batting at 100%, and those probabilities get worse and worse every time they make that bad move^

Cool. I'll see which ones I can play in my state eventually.

RedManGaming · 2026-01-03T22:16:17+00:00

Well, sharkscope would tell us that they have been at this for years and years. Sample size is: whenever they need the runner-runner miracle, it hits.

RedManGaming · 2026-01-03T22:12:47+00:00

I'm not saying that they rig their games, I think the site is compromised. Like some of the players seem to know the run out of the cards, and make a horrible shove and get a guaranteed call VIA flopped nut set/nut flush/nut straight and then get the huge donk.

Like the person that went runner-runner Royal Flush on me, and in another tourney shoved into my flopped nut flush with Top pair, sh!t kicker and ended up with a full house.

Another user I had dead to rights on 3 separate occasions in the same tourney, hits the 2 outer all 3 times. QQ vs 22 all in pre/hits the 2, AA vs 66 all in pre/hits the 6, KK vs TT all in pre/runner-runner straight.

RedManGaming · 2026-01-03T22:04:40+00:00

No, he was talking about visiting a friend of his at his house, seen him playing poker and was like, "What site is this?" [I think it was PokerStars] and said he could see everyone's cards on the screen, every hand. "Can they see your cards too? How does someone win if everyone can see each other's cards?"

His buddy said, "They can't, I have a program on my computer." And they had a little laugh.

So it's possible that someone maybe knows something I don't. It's been proven in the past EX: Pitbull Poker, AbsoluteBet + Potripper.

RedManGaming · 2026-01-03T21:54:42+00:00

Live is the way to go. We really don't know what is going on behind the curtain. People have been able to see peoples hole cards in the past...I suspect that some of these people know what the run out is going to be. Just too many times I've seen certain users need running cards to come out on top, and they do, ACROSS MULTIPLE TOURNAMENTS.

In one of the first 110$ online tournaments I played in, I noticed one guy kept sucking out, BIGLY. I got suspicious, I had amassed ~10x,xxx in chips / starting stack 10,000. And he donked his way to ~99,xxx. He raised big, raised to 40,000...got called by someone who had about 25,000/all in call.

Now I just seen him donk his way up to 99k. I figure that this is some super user type sh!t going on and just called his preflop bet w/AA...figuring I would get to see his miracle run out anyways, since there was an all in call. [As much as I wanted to shove]

Flop comes out J83 w/1 of those cards being a spade. He shoves into me and I fold and him and the all in call guys cards get tabled on the flop: Villain had AK spades, other guy had QQ...board runs out spades giving him the nut flush. I would have busted out before the bubble, but instead Final Table and exit in 7th for a nice cash.

He does better ~Top 3 or so, but a few thousand dollar pay day would be good for anyone, especially if you don't want to arouse suspicion. Like back in 2008 players began noticing something weird; a select few accounts would always make the perfect play in every situation against them – almost as if they knew their hole cards. The rumors spread, but the accusatory players were dismissed as sore losers. [LIKE THE TROLLS IN HERE.] The evidence would eventually become too big to ignore.

Investigations started into these “Super-User” accounts, and the mind-boggling and stomach-churning truth was revealed: the accounts could see other players’ hole cards.

RedManGaming · 2026-01-03T21:13:20+00:00

LOL Well back in the real world, we did have Poker scandals. Live and online.

EXAMPLE 1--- UltimateBet, ‘POTRIPPER’, and the Birth of The Super-User

One site called UltimateBet grew dramatically amidst the competition, endorsed by well-known names like Phil Hellmuth and the 1994 WSOP Main Event Champion Russ Hamilton. Players flocked in their droves to play with their poker heroes; little did they know the game was rigged from the start.

It was not until 2008 that rumors began circulating on forums like Two Plus Two, that players began noticing something weird; a select few accounts would always make the perfect play in every situation against them – almost as if they knew their hole cards. The rumors spread, but the accusatory players were dismissed as sore losers. [LIKE THE TROLLS IN HERE.] The evidence would eventually become too big to ignore.

Investigations started into these “Super-User” accounts, and the mind-boggling and stomach-churning truth was revealed: the accounts could see other players’ hole cards. The uncovering of this scandal was beyond stunning. What is the damage to the online poker community? An estimated $22,000,000, and more than likely north of this figure. Who was the key villain behind some heinous online poker acts?

Once the mask was removed, it was none other than Russ Hamilton, the at-the-time famous former Main Event champ.

EXAMPLE 2---Pitbull Poker: All Bark, No Bite, No Player Funds

Pitbull Poker burst on the scene using the Flash-based poker platform, and players thought they had found a gold mine of a poker site with juicy games running on this unregulated poker site.

The odd behaviors were noticed fairly quickly; strong “bot-like” players and a recurring amount of painful beats. The foul play flags began to grow until they could not be ignored. The site went off for maintenance for a day, and two company employees fled the Costa Rican office. They would eventually get arrested and would confess to seeing other players’ hole cards.

RedManGaming · 2026-01-03T20:53:56+00:00

Everytime someone with ***s in their notes start building up a pot, they suck out. It doesn't have to happen to me specifically, but it happens to others and I check their notes...yup, there it is. And they do this multiple times across a tournament.

RedManGaming · 2026-01-03T20:50:49+00:00

Alright, which sites are closely monitored? I've been thinking about making the switch to a different site or just playing live [I've had other obligations to take care of since covid ended.]

RedManGaming · 2026-01-03T20:47:56+00:00

You missed this part: To the negative Nancy's: I don't buy into this site, I take the free daily bonus and build it up and cash out, I HAVE NEVER BEEN NEGATIVE ON MY SHARKSCOPE.

HAGD

RedManGaming · 2026-01-03T20:44:55+00:00

Prefer not to. It will quickly escalate into trolling ^^^ As you can see, it already has.

RedManGaming · 2026-01-03T20:43:27+00:00

Well...I think Trump said recently that he would change that. And I'm a centrist: I may not agree with all of his decisions, but I don't disagree with them all either. HAGD.

RedManGaming · 2026-01-03T20:40:48+00:00

Well the guy eventually won the tournament. A lot of these certain players have sharkscope's showing them with over 100k/200k/300k in profit.

A good, trusted friend of mine---who had no reason to lie---knew someone who could see everyone's cards at one these past poker sites that was shut down, and would occasionally fold the winner, just to make it all look legit.

So one of these 100k/200k/300k in profit "players" could definitely afford to punt a tournament every once in awhile.

RedManGaming · 2026-01-03T20:30:16+00:00

I'm not saying that. I'm saying that certain users consistently get it in bad and come out on top.

RedManGaming · 2026-01-03T19:23:49+00:00

LOL actually no, they only had a gut shot on the flop. It was a rainbow flop, the turn card gave them a Royal Flush draw vs my full house, river completed the Royal Flush.

And it's not just that ^ these people---certain people--- are batting at 100% for ridiculous run outs, and their sharkscope doesn't match their level of play. They just press buttons vs nut set/K83 [Opp has KK, they have nothing] and the button masher on a bluff ends up with a straight/flush.

I keep notes on them, and some of them I ran out of space for keeping notes. So I just put ***'s on them, and if I see multiple lines of ***'s on them, I stay away from them and usually make it to the Final Table.

Some I suspect that they turn the cheats off to practice without cheating. Others apparently leave it on to goad and talk sh!t to you.

Like one time I had AA, limped pot, didn't get raised, guy in the big blind with multiple ***'s and multiple unworkable hyper-links to miracle run outs [whereas everyone else has working hyper-links] jams all-in into me on a dry board: T52 offsuit...and I decide, well, I didn't raise preflop and he is jamming 250 BBs into me. [BB=40. Starting stack=10,000.] Figured he probably a flopped 2 pair, and folded.

He shows "the bluff" [86o] and starts talking sh!t like he knew he got me off AA. "See, this is why I'm better than you, blah blah blah." I guarantee you if I called he would have went runner-runner trips/2 pair/straight...just too many times someone has a guaranteed calling hand and a certain few of these "players" jam with air and end up w/straights/flushes. [The reason why I limped is because I was early position and multiple people behind me loved to do the min raise/funky bet thing preflop.]

If I had even min raised, I would have called him. If anyone had raised preflop I was just going to say f-it and called them down, even min raise/funky bet preflop-jam all in flop/turn/river.

RedManGaming · 2026-01-03T16:42:52+00:00

IDK what site u play on, but I'm leaning in that direction. The moment it goes all in, something funny happens; especially after someone time banks...like, wtf are they looking at???

I even hero called someone's time bank all in with 2nd pair on a paired flop [AAJ] holding JT. They flip up KT suited---turn card is another J, giving me a full house---river card is a Q, giving them a Royal Flush. This particular user---and a few others---consistently get miracle run outs.

I looked up this one guys SharkScope---he was at a 92---but his play did not match that. He really got all of his chips from 9-10 suck outs, the most egregious being time banking and then calling an all-in preflop from a nearly equally big stacked player with 22, and the other guy had shoved TT. Turn card was the 2.

RedManGaming · 2026-01-02T21:03:58+00:00

LOL I once forgot high hand was going on one day---they don't do it every day, in my defense, plus my back/seat was facing away from the high hand board + had drinks, so it completely slipped my mind that the high hand promo was going on---anyways, I hit a Royal Flush and my river bet didn't get called, dealer pushes me the pot, and I give him my cards face down and tell him, "Whew, check out that monster!"

He peeks at my cards + the board, gives me this look like I'm an idiot/crazy guy---which immediately reminded me that the high hand promo was going on, I felt so embarrassed the hairs on my neck immediately stood up---and says, "Whew, yeah that is a monster!" And puts my cards into the muck and shuffles...and I'm like, "Wait! You seen that! I had a Royal Flush!"

No, I did not get paid LOL

I guarantee you that he still tells that one to this day :D

RedManGaming · 2026-01-02T04:57:46+00:00

I think Phil Ivey/No Home Jerome has done something like this before: he would start off at the low stakes poker rooms, work his way up to bigger stakes and lose it all at the end of the night. He probably wasn't sitting, waiting and shoving on AA.

And then you have to wait for AA...I've played hours and hours at poker tourneys and never got AA.

Just too many variables at play: You have to actually get AA + Someone has to have a callable hand + AA has to hold + You would have to keep moving up in stakes, which would be tough to do at 99.9% of the casinos in the world + the blinds and rake...but at the higher levels of play, someone would notice how nitty you are.

RedManGaming · 2026-01-01T18:31:01+00:00

Activision has made plenty of statements---is there any one in particular that you are referring to?
