What to do if you suspect a player is cheating?
Heres the story, I was playing over at Pokerstars $0.25-$0.50 NL today and there was a player there that seemed to be playing every pot, calling every raise with rag hands like 82s, 73o/. But somehow he ended up winning about $100 over about 3 hours of play. After finally leaving after trying to beat this donk several times, I decided to check Pokertracker for his stats.
In 117 hands he never raised once preflop, but called a staggering 87.18%(!!) of the time. Flop AF was 0.27, Turn AF was 1.53 and River AF was 4.00. He won 44.34% of the time. Am I being paranoid here? Is this kind of donk play common at these stakes and he just got lucky? |

Probably just a lucky idiot.
Besides how could he be cheating? |

117 hands isn't many. There's lots of people out there playing like this. It can be frustrating to see them win, but he's a guarenteed loser in the long run if this is his normal style of play.

Common.
Lucky. The type of player I'd look for, and try to have at my table- time and again. |

I'm fairly sure his showdown win% would be quite a bit higher than that too, given he could see hole cards or something

Pretty standard. I even seen player who aren't horrible post flop with 75%+ VPIP.
Bad players and bad play can still get lucky and be up a significant amount over a short period of time. |

Follow this player around

If he was cheating, surely he'd go to higher stakes tables?
Most likely to be a donk running hot for a few hours. |
Re: What to do if you suspect a player is cheating?
Most likely your typical passive donk who just was hitting hands left and right. These players are great, just make a note and look him up when he's cooled down.
