Absolute Poker - Rouged for cheating and caught !

On September 24, 2007, allegations of cheating at Absolute Poker were brought to my attention by an anonymous source.
It was alleged that a player by the handle of POTRIPPER had the ability
to see the hole cards of his opponents. As someone who has exposed
non-random play in blackjack, roulette, and video poker several times,
I have become an unofficial policeman of Internet gambling fair play.
My earlier investigations can be found at my Online Casino Blacklist.
Since I developed this reputation, I have heard from hundreds, if not
thousands, of crybabies who had some bad luck and made accusations of
cheating, usually with no evidence other than adjective-laden stories
of how badly they were beaten. In the rare cases where numerical
evidence was provided, it could have easily been explained by simple
bad luck. So, it takes a lot to convince me that losses are due to foul
play, as opposed to bad luck. When I heard the allegations, I
went to the bulletin boards and was underwhelmed by the evidence. At
first all I saw were a few fishy looking hands posted at twoplustwo.com,
amongst a great deal of chatter. I had to agree the hands looked
suspicious, but it wasn’t nearly enough to be convincing. After all,
stranger things have happened. However, the story kept heating up. On October 8 I was provided various log files of tournaments that
POTRIPPER played. Many were in formats that were unreadable, but I was
able to view the details of a tournament played on September 13. In
that tournament POTRIPPER played 41 hands, with an average of six
players at the table. Assuming all players were equally skilled and
played the same way, and I admit that is a big assumption, he would
expect to win 7.28 hands. The number of hands he actually won was 25.
That is 7.29 standard deviations above expectations. The probability of
doing that well or better is 1 in 6.6 trillion. Again, assuming equal
skill and strategy of all the players involved. It would be 469,000
times easier to win a 6/49 lottery. So my eyebrows were officially
raised. However, I was still concerned that it could have been due to
chip dumping by other players. That is a common way to steal a player’s
money if you get a hold of his login and password, for example with a
key logger. While this is a serious problem, it is outside of my
purview of casino-involved foul play.
