I wonder how ppl are that dumb and cheat in such an obvious way while they. Seriously if I could see my opponents holecards Id just play my normal Game making that extra valuebet bluff and fold every now then and ill have an constant income.

I think he was probably justified in thinking he could get away with a lot, before this any 'poker is rigged' complaints were laughed at by most players, and especially because his massive river agression means you often wouldn't see his cards. Also, the way he was caught (AP accidently sending Marco all the holecards and IPs of players/observers) was very unlikely, leading many to believe that the log was sent deliberately by a whistleblower. Having said that his over-the-top play, expecially the ten-high all-in call in the last hand, was probably a factor in Marco asking for the hand history anyway.

The buyin was $1000 plus fee. I believe there were around 20 players.
