I've had this typed up for a while but wasn't sure if it was a lost cause or not. Waco's post got me fired up again, so i decided to post this. I looked through my HH's with these guys and anyone with basic poker knowledge could tell that they were cheating 100%. Absolute poker is dumb enough to say they dont have 100% proof which they never will with an issue like this. Well here are my thoughts....

I wrote this to just inform everyone what has been happened to me and many others on Absolute Poker in the past couple months. I know there have already been many threads on this issue, but i feel like i have been cheated worst then anyone. Absolute poker was the first site i started playing on and has been one of my most successful sites over the last 4 years. I have played under "The Grinder" onthere since the beginning (even though most people think im mizrachi). The site has never had goodsoftware or customer support but the players were so bad, i was losing money by not playing there. Over the last month i have experienced something i never thought or ever wanted to happen to online poker.
After looking at many of my HH's, betting patterns, other players HH's, and the Pokertracker, there is no doubt and im 100% sure I have been cheated. Players such as DoubleDrag, Potripper,Graycat, Payup, and possibly Steamroller are all players that have been involved in the Scam. Only DoubleDrag and Payup are the players that i am 100% sure cheated, as i have never played with Potripper and Graycat and dont have HH's on them. In about 4 to 5 short sessions of 10/20 and 15/30 NLH with DoubleDrag, i lost around 60k to him. I never beat him in a big pot, he timed his bluffs perfectly where he knew i couldnt call with the hand i had, he would raise every hand preflop until i got big pairs or nailed the flop and then he would fold , he called my bluffs everytime, and i never saw him have a losing session averaging about 20-30k profit in each half hour session he played. I have played cash games on absolute daily for about a year and have never seen anything close to this and know 100% there was cheating going on.
I am writing this to try and get some help from all of you guys by not letting this issue dry out and go unnoticed. I know some of you have had nothing to worry about with this because you dont play on there or werent affected by the cheating when you did. But please, put yourself in my shoes after i just lost around 80k total to these cheaters. With absolute poker support being so bad i feel the only way I have a chance to get my money back is if they see people abadoning the site and they are losing customers at a consistent rate. That along with many posts and discussions on the the discussions boards on P5s and 2+2 is what I see as my only hope here. So, i am asking the rest of the community to sacrafice a little bit and not play on there even though there maybe a tournament that is a little +EV on there. Email them as much as possible with your concerns, and help me try and get my money back. I appreciate all of your help and have a been an active member in this community for about 2 years. Thanks for taking the time to read this and i hope we can accomplish something here.

Edit: Many people have asked me why would i keep playing the guy and how couldnt i have noticed that something was wrong. He (DoubleDrag) was playing so so bad and when ur in a heated heads up match ur focused and worried about busting him, he keeps getting lucky or so i think and i was like it has to change eventually he cant beat me forever playing this way. I mean how stupid does "online is rigged sound". Until you find out it actually is!

"Dumping"KGB

sucks bro, hope u get paid.

Sorry about your experience dumping, but I admire your maturity in how you are handling it. Good karma for you-

jesus christ

unreal

f ap

Just curious, is it possible that your account was compromised from some sort of social engenering ploy? Did you talk to anyone new on AIM, or download something, or have someone you don't know that well use your computer and then these HU matches started happening shortly thereafter?

Gotcha, I just read through the other thread with the tournament info. I know this kind of thing has happened before, with one player compromising another player's computer and being able to see his cards, but with all the reports coming out it does seem like there is something wrong on AP's end of it. Sorry to hear, I hope AP makes it right to you and everyone else who was affected.

yourrrrrrrrrr that guyyyyy.

i remember playing you soooooooooooo long ago, like SOOOOOOO long ago. i first started on AP too. that's nuts, i played you alllllll the time, way before mizrachi or any other pro was even added to that site besides seif.

hope you get paid, this whole thing really sucks

sue them.

I really hope you get this resolved. Truthfully, I would be contacting a lawyer and finding out exactly what my options were if I were you.

sketchy is right. no poker site can be sued. what is of bigger concern is that since this issue will not go away quietly AP and consequently UB will both be going down soon. i suggest cashing out right away on both sites. sucks cuz i really enjoyed playing on ub

This is horrible KGB, I like/respect u as much as anyone in the online community, and I hate that this has happened to you. I am now officially done with AP, glgl with getting any kind of reparations. And for the record, I thought u were the Grinder when I hopped in to play u heads up the other night, that was hilarious

The harsh reality is that based on Nat's I.P. trace it was an inside job. That being said, AP is fucked and it's becoming painfully obvious they were in on the scam/theft or at the very least when it was exposed they covered it up as it will surely now be there undoing.

This could go into the tens of millions.

Chris.

i have never played oin AP and now never will. i sure hope you get compensated sir...
