Re: Absolute Cheating
Even if some individual hands look like that they were "honestly" played, it doesn't disprove the cheating. e.g. if you like to hammer men in their anus but then decide to sleep with a girl, that doesn't prove that you're not gay.
I'm getting the impression that most people here that don't know anything about computers imagine that the cheaters see the other players' hole cards on the table, graphically, next to their name as you are used to. But that's probably not the case. I imagine it something like this: there's a script (written by the bad guys) which parses the data on server -- filters out logs of their table, perhaps reformats it and sends you the information as text, maybe similar to HH, but just constantly updating. Of course you can reformat it or even build GUI (graphical user interface) on it, so it could actually paint very beautiful and colorful cards for you, but that'd be some more work for little gain and the villains might have been in a hurry.
Anyway, I remember that some weird delays were mentioned before the cheaters' preflop action. So, it could just have been that he's playing regular account and has a terminal window open, where the parsed info from the server is shown. So, for example in a donkament, he would have to check 9 players, which names have which hands from that window and then check the table for their positions on him and decide the action. That'd sure make some delays, even if he's not the 1st to act but let's say 5th to act and the first 4 just instafolded.
So, if there were couple of hands that were played like he was not cheating, then what's so weird about it?
* I find it much more bizarre that the cheater would so obivously cheat EVERY LAST goddamn hand. that's so moronic
* he might have just miss some hands, laziness
* he might have decided not to cheat some hands
* he might have misclicked
* he might have misread his 'terminal window' (from my example theory)
* ...
So, I don't see any argument in "he played that hand like he didn't know the opponents' cards".
Anyway, ffs, it's long established that there was some cheating going on. Why are we still debating like it wasn't 100% sure?
Apologies for my bad English.
