Default [censored] YOU ABSOLUTE POKER

I've played almost exclusively at Absolute Poker for the past year since the legislation and have consistently beaten the .50-1 game for close to 7bb/100. Since they instituted the BBJ, I've gotten absolutely crushed. Bad beats beyond belief. I've never come close to saying a site is rigged, but I'm starting to wonder. I've heard a lot of other consistent winning players say the same thing recently.

Tonight I loaded up my usual 6 tables and ran into a guy who was consistenly betting like $50 into $2 pots. He was down to $30 and left with over $1100 in 30 minutes. About $900 of it was my money. I've been playing for 7 years solid and have never experienced anything remotely like this.

Here is how it when down:

I have position on him, so I'm pretty much calling anything preflop or small raises with even garbage hands since he is overbetting the pot every time.

First Hand:

Absolute Poker
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.50/$1
6 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $9.75
UTG+1: $98.50
CO: $73.50
Button: $172.25
Hero: $100.50
BB: $21.95

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is SB with 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
3 folds, Button calls, Hero calls, BB checks.

Flop: 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ($3, 3 players)
Hero checks, BB checks, <font color="#cc0000">Button bets $24</font>, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $98</font>, BB folds, Button calls.

Turn: 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] ($199, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">Hero is all-in $1.5</font>, Button calls.

River: 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ($202, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: $202)


Results:
Final pot: $202
<font color="#ffffff">Button Shows Ah 8c</font>
<font color="#ffffff">Hero Shows 9h 3h</font>

OK whatever, so now I reload to the full $200 because it's obvious he will give the money back.
