r2r Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Hi everyone,Just finished to play Sputnik 50EURO Tournament, and I am sure that my opponent was using Hosting in Heads-Up play.When Heads-Up started he played absolutely passive. He was taking time, thinking a lot even before fold. And after a break at 01:00 CET I faced ABSOLUTELY different style of playing, decisions were very fast, timings changed completely. Everyone who plays often and regularly will understand what I am talking about. In this situation I consider myself as a victim of Hosting. I am experienced enough to understand that two different persons were playing against me in the begining and in the end of this Heads-Up.

Want2Believe Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Hm...This happens and very difficult to prove. I wonder... how actually poker providers can deal with it? Only to insert spy bot into the client (web-cam scans every 10-15 mins for example, or record voices, printscreens).. like CIA toys)but it's against the law of course...and I would not like Unibet could see me not shaved)giphy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VikingsAF Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 I think you mean Ghosting instead of Hosting... But that aside.They can do IP-checks, to see if it at least got played from the same PC.Then I have to say that my play style can change 10 times durning a game, where I play lose untill I realise there is a better chance of me making money when I would play tighter... Or the other way around I see now that the circumstances of ones birth are irrelevant... It is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are.

And maybe he was just tired before and took speed during the break Seriously @r2r I believe you might be right, because I've played against him in several MTTs and he was not very competent player...The problem is as @Want2Believe already mentioned - it's very hard to prove such thing.Just be happy with your very nice 2nd place and let it go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r2r Posted December 16, 2018 Author Share Posted December 16, 2018 I understand everything you said, guys. But this time I am 99% sure it was Ghosting(1% that he snoozed cocain or smth else). Dude played very very slow, like using all his time - limp, then using all his time fold to raise, and now it is clear to me that he was waiting for somebody else to finish this heads-up. And then absolutely thunder play, thinking very fast and much more aggresive. So, before I understood that I play with another person and adjusted, he won few big pots without showdown.
