no, he`s not.

i played with this guy a lot (prob like ~50 sessions) and he must have been very good at cheating. I was not suspicious at all. i really liked to have him at my table.
for me he was a hyper-agressive player who ran over nits. also he had a strategy that i thought worked very well for him:
early in the session with 50-100BB he stacked off super light and showed big bluffs. Later when stacks got deeper (500+ BB) he got way too much action and always had the goods when money went in.


also cheating was super easy:
i played only him in hamburg and back then only one deck was used a whole night unless a card was marked or something.

then one day a dealer forgot to take out one of the joker cards after a deck change and play went on for half an hour until a player was dealt the joker.
from then on each dealer had their own deck and presented it whenever he got to a new table. this must have made cheating a lot harder cause he played more and more in bad zwischenahn.

intellipoker has nothing to do with this guy except for the fact that we were cheated by him.
