I tried looking at the thread and the 2 + 2 thread.. but didn't get much into it without seeing stupid replys and nothing that had to do with what was really going on, so more or less is this something other than one guy making a completely retarded call which worked, or a misclick....or a real issue.. as I play on Absolute and UB....so ya if someone whos been reading all of this could give me a cliffnote version... I would appriciate it.. thanks..

people have gotten into the absolute 1k, with no DBs at all and started winning their $1k event. They are making calls that are impossible to make like high card 10 vs. high card 9 and its holding. They are seeing other peoples hole cards.

Ugh, i read a lot of it but cliffnotes is pretty hard. Especially because there are a dozen cliffnote threads already that run 10pages deep themselves.
Pretty much there is a super-account for AB that can see all the cards. This had been a rumor and i believe Mark Seif confirmed it or something years ago.
It is now believed that account (or the abolities that account had) was given away by a rogue employee (possibly Seif himself) to a guy, or group that out of nowhere started playing super high stakes and won the 1K in his 3rd tournament ever entered, the other two being a $5 and $50 tourney where he busted in 5 minutes or so.
Out of 103 handed in super highstakes he won something like 8 buy-in, played 90% of his hands and maintaned infinite river aggression (never calling on river) which would of course make perfect sense if he knew exactly where he stood, either ahead or behind, so either raise or fold.
He has made insanely improbable calls several times, and has been known to 4-bet (has also played high stakes limit) with 3rd or 4th pair when he was right that it was ahead somehow.
Furthermore, at the final table of 1k event he folded pre-flop 3 times, all 3 times an opponent had QQ-AA.
At a high stakes limit table he 4 bet pre-flop when it was 3 handed, then check-folded to a single bet on a flop of 2-2-5. A completely non-threatening flop for someone who caps the betting pre-flop!! But one of his opponents had 5-2.
ETC. ETC. ETC.
it's ridiculous, even the most non-paranoid minds have been convinced, like me. I am not a conspriacy theorist, i have never believed online poker is rigged or anything. But there is too much here for it to not be true.
Furthermore after the thread was made the account started chip dumping at the highstakes, after obviously having read the thread!
Proof of this is he made a call on the river when he literally had the worst hand possible, board was something like 2-5-5-K-Q and his opponent 4-6 and bluffed the river, this guy called then mucked, meaning he had to have exactly 3-4, the only hand where it was impossible to win.
How could a guy who won a hundred thousand dollars playing high stakes make this call unless he's obviously chip dumping?
Further speculation is that this person is Mark Seif himself.
There is even further specualtion that this is even more widespread because the guy chip dumping to try and cover his ass is dumping almost as much as he won! Why not just take his money out and call it quits if he's going to give all the money back?
Maybe because he's trying to close the case so more people with the super-account ability who are using it more wisely will not be suspected? who knows?
