There is huge evidence against Fedor Kruse that he has been cheating his way up through the cash game poker ranks, playing the best players around in an epic rise from a break-even 200NL player to playing $200/$400 and winning.
Check out the full post on 2+2 here from his ex-roommates.
The story goes that he was living in a Poker Player shared apartment in Austria and it seems his friends that knew what he was up to got sick of him not getting caught and decided they had to hand him in themselves.
The players once took some action of Fedor and have admitted that it was wrong of them, so it seems what really has happened here is the trio have had some falling out and now thrown Fedor under the bus after he had cheated and earned them money from cheating at High stakes.
One overwhelming piece of evidence is a WhatsApp screenshot from the alleged cheater stating that he was surprised he could all down with just two pair on a 4 full board as the dream machine suggests, even though the hand history states that, that’s what he did… “you played with solver anyways” and Fedor replied “YES but Sandro & Me were shocked”
Picture of Fedor Solving and playing
The most damning evidence is a picture of his setup, which Pokerstars might be able to get the metadata of to prove some kind of wrongdoing on the behalf of Fedor.
The picture shows him playing on one computer and then having a completely different computer with his dream machine software, you can clearly see two mice on his desk.
Pokerstars tracks your mouse movements whilst you play, so hopefully, they will be able to build some kind of case against him if he has been cheating due to lack of movement during big decisions where he might be checking his other computer.
Some of the most damning points against Fedor with regards to a stats point of view is the fact that he always plays at 100BBs deep, which is optimal for solver lines, he never alters his bet sizings away from set amounts, almost playing robot-like.
He plays the toughest players online and uses counter-intuitive plays that not surprisingly are solver approved lines and has risen to the highest stakes faster than geniuses like LlinusLove.
GlitchSystems frequents Twitch and was seen in Kaki’s stream saying that it’s strange that the people accusing him also were buying action from him and making profits from him, he also said that he would talk on the show with Kaki once he has had his meeting with Stars.
Solve For the Win
If there’s anything to learn from this it’s how invaluable solvers are and if you can study all these spots without having to cheat and look at them in real-time you really can rise to the highest stakes around and win huge money.
