Hello all,
Cliffs:
I have been scammed by PartyPoker for 9k. I was accused of chipdumping for that amount, and my entire account with 22 k was closed and seized. After several weeks of negotiating, they have agreed to release my remaining funds and close my account. They have acknowledged that all their evidence is circumstantial and not based on the gameplay (!), yet have not contacted me a single time to ask me to clarify. I know that they either know that I am innocent and are taking a shot here as they will be liable for letting that 9 k pass through with a stolen credit card, or that they are incompetent. I am asking this forum for help.
In case you can be bothered, the overwhelming evidence:
1. The actual gameplay:
These are the 15 biggest winning hands I played against this player during that session. As he was the losing player, I have looked at MY ten biggest winning hands, as well as HIS five biggest winning hands. In total this player lost 9271 dollars to me in 308 hands (according to my PokerTracker). In no instance do I see what I have possibly done wrong. I will try and outline my reasoning here. Several players on 2+2 have looked through the hands. I am willing to do the same analysis for all hands, I have reviewed every hand over 20 bb and nothing is other than standard.
I will begin by analysing the ten biggest winning hands for me, starting from the largest pot. So these hands are not in chronological order. All stats mentioned are at that point of the match, that is why they differ from hand to hand. I can only defend my play, not his:

Explanation:
Jorgen is 3betting 51 %, but that is beside the point as I would defend 22 here against anything even 100 bbs deep, never mind 200 bbs deep. His cbet in 3b pot hands is 15/15, naturally I am always calling here. On turn I hit my fullhouse, minraise in case he can continue w any draw, he shoves I obviously call. Not sure where you find fault with this hand.

Explanation: 300 bbs deep, by now I already now he is an aboslute maniac. The 3b is standard, he is opening 73 % and his fold to 3b is zero. His 4bet percentage at this point is 67, so the shove here is v easy as his fold to 4b percentage is 29. I seem to remember him calling off EXTREMELY LIGHT (as is evident by the hand). Not sure where you find fault with this hand.

Explanation: Super standard. At this point he is 3betting 52 % and I defend. He is cbetting 100 % of flops in 3b pots. I flop an open ended straight draw, call his cbet, decide to check turn for fear of a checkraise, hit my straight on the river. He bets, I shove, he calls w a set that he was slowplaying on the turn (as I thought, he was intending to checkraise). Standard hand.

Explanation: Again, he is 3betting 52 % of hands. In Combonator, if you filter for the top 52 % of hands Q7o is in that list, which is how I determine what to defend when I am playing. I flop trips, so I am of course continuing. As he is cbetting 100 % of his 3b range on flop, I do not raise because his range is most likely fairly weak here. On turn he checks, I bet, he checkraises with an overpair and of course we get it in. From his side an ok play although a little thin, from my side 100 % standard.

Explanation: He 3bets KJ, of course I am 4betting aces here. I belive this is the first hand of the match so I have no stats. On a low board I make a small cbet to entice him to either cr or continue w overs. I have no reads and no idea if he is a reg or a fish. He calls the flop bet, after which we both have just over a pot sized bet left. Most draws cr there so I feel I am pretty protected and want him to bluf his floats on river which is why I check that turn, which also protects my against a lot of his 2 pair outs on a river. In other words, that check is v standard. On river he pot bets, I call. From my perspective (and everyone elses in the world) this feels super standard.

Explanation: At this point, after 152 hands, he is up on me before I eventually turn it around in the next 155 hands. I 3bet AQss of course, he defends, I flop trips. I bcet, he raises, I pretty much have the best hand here so I raise again, he calls. Here I feel he must have either something good enough to bet after calling that last flop raise, or that he has floated and will bluff. By now, after 152 hands, it is pretty clear I am playing a very huge fish so standard logic doesnt always apply. It could be argued that betting this turn is a more optimal play but that might be only slightly. I check, he makes a bad bet w a decent hand, I of course shove, he calls. From my perspective 100 % standard I believe.

7. Super standard. By here we have played tons of hands, I know he will not fold almost anything after 3betting. He is 3betting over 50 %, I have AK, he has 75 bbs and I feel shoving is the highest EV play. Since his stack is fairly short I could be put in an awkward position if I 4bet small and he calls, seeing as I wont make a pair a fair amount of the time. So I believe a shove is the hghest EV play here and actually pretty standard here against this player with these stack sizes.

Explanation: Another standard hand. I get two broadways, 3bet his 73 % small blind open, knowing his fold to 3bet by now is zero (with a sample of 5 3bets from me). I flop my pair, and make standard cbet. He calls. On turn I feel a bit scared seeing as we started the hand 200 bbs deep. The 4 brings a few straights, a few draws that he might just raise since he is a fish (I want to play a big but not a huge pot here w a vulnerable hand). So I check, he bets, I call. On river, I again check since he has the lead and he could very well have air and bluff, and again he bets. He floated w garbage, turned a draw which he bet, and bluffed river. I cbet a top pair then check called two streets. Super standard play from me.

Explanation: As he is 3betting so many hands (over 50 %), I am limping a fair range vs him. At this point, because of his high 3b, I am only playing 74 % from the small blind (am usually much higher), raising in 62 % and limping the rest. I limp, he raises my limp, I of course call. He cbets, I of course call with second pair. On turn he bets again, and me continuing here again is pretty standard. His range is super wide and there are a ton of straight, flush and air combos in his range. On river I catch a nine, so I of course call with my two pair. He has been cbetting his top pair bad kicker all the way since he is a pretty weak player. My play here is, again, 100 & standard.

On turn he continues, of course I call. On river he hits his two pair while I hit my flush, he bets; I of course shove with the second nuts, he calls with his 2 pair. Again, super standard from my perspective.
These are the 5 largest hands that he won:

Explanation: This is the worst hand I played during the session I think, albeit not awful. He opens, I of course 3bet a very good hand,he 4 bets which he is doing with 57 (!!!!) % of his range. I am down a bit after being up, a but tilted and a bit impatient, but I know I am hugely ahead of his range and by now fater 146 hands I know he is a fish that can call off w very marginal hands. Only in rare case will I be in terrible shape here I figure. I am right, as he calls off w a very marginal a 9 off. And unfortunately, he wins the hand and I dont. Fairly standard hand but seeing as I win all the money in the end this hand probably doesnt matter.

Explanation: I open, he 3bets, this time I small 4bet to take intitiative which I am doing because we are deep and he won´t 5 bet me here unless he has a monster. This gives me initiative on flop without having to face a cbet and is a standard play, especially against someone 3betting 51 % which he is doing here. I flop huge (straight + flush draw), and bet. He calls w his second pair. On turn I bet again, doing well against his entire range with my equity and huge draw, and he calls w his pair again which he is correct to do here, since he has also picked up a straight draw to with it. On river I miss all my outs and give up, he wins. 100 percent standard hand, no further comments needed.

Explanation: A standard hand with some turn play explanation needed. I open, he 3bets (by this point 53%), I call w q6ss. I flop 2 pair, and as he bets, I raise small, since he has so much air here (cbet after 3bet is still 100 %). As we are fairly deep, its late and I have finally won a bunch of money back by now (this is late into the match), I decide to check the K turn for a few different reasons. One, that could be a hand that puts him in front, and if he has a made hand I am either way ahead or way behind. If stacks were shallower I am betting here and getting it in, but I dont quite want to do that here. 2, if I check and do a very conservative pot control, he can well bluff a ton of rivers. My check is decent I believe. O turn w the jack of hearts I he checks. I felt that there isnt a ton that can call here but still, checking behind two pair against such a huge fish is a hard thing to do. He check calls having rivered the straight on the 3 flush board. Again, not an amazing hand at all.
Cliffs:
I have been scammed by PartyPoker for 9k. I was accused of chipdumping for that amount, and my entire account with 22 k was closed and seized. After several weeks of negotiating, they have agreed to release my remaining funds and close my account. They have acknowledged that all their evidence is circumstantial and not based on the gameplay (!), yet have not contacted me a single time to ask me to clarify. I know that they either know that I am innocent and are taking a shot here as they will be liable for letting that 9 k pass through with a stolen credit card, or that they are incompetent. I am asking this forum for help.
In case you can be bothered, the overwhelming evidence:
1. The actual gameplay:
These are the 15 biggest winning hands I played against this player during that session. As he was the losing player, I have looked at MY ten biggest winning hands, as well as HIS five biggest winning hands. In total this player lost 9271 dollars to me in 308 hands (according to my PokerTracker). In no instance do I see what I have possibly done wrong. I will try and outline my reasoning here. Several players on 2+2 have looked through the hands. I am willing to do the same analysis for all hands, I have reviewed every hand over 20 bb and nothing is other than standard.
I will begin by analysing the ten biggest winning hands for me, starting from the largest pot. So these hands are not in chronological order. All stats mentioned are at that point of the match, that is why they differ from hand to hand. I can only defend my play, not his:

Explanation:
Jorgen is 3betting 51 %, but that is beside the point as I would defend 22 here against anything even 100 bbs deep, never mind 200 bbs deep. His cbet in 3b pot hands is 15/15, naturally I am always calling here. On turn I hit my fullhouse, minraise in case he can continue w any draw, he shoves I obviously call. Not sure where you find fault with this hand.

Explanation: 300 bbs deep, by now I already now he is an aboslute maniac. The 3b is standard, he is opening 73 % and his fold to 3b is zero. His 4bet percentage at this point is 67, so the shove here is v easy as his fold to 4b percentage is 29. I seem to remember him calling off EXTREMELY LIGHT (as is evident by the hand). Not sure where you find fault with this hand.

Explanation: Super standard. At this point he is 3betting 52 % and I defend. He is cbetting 100 % of flops in 3b pots. I flop an open ended straight draw, call his cbet, decide to check turn for fear of a checkraise, hit my straight on the river. He bets, I shove, he calls w a set that he was slowplaying on the turn (as I thought, he was intending to checkraise). Standard hand.

Explanation: Again, he is 3betting 52 % of hands. In Combonator, if you filter for the top 52 % of hands Q7o is in that list, which is how I determine what to defend when I am playing. I flop trips, so I am of course continuing. As he is cbetting 100 % of his 3b range on flop, I do not raise because his range is most likely fairly weak here. On turn he checks, I bet, he checkraises with an overpair and of course we get it in. From his side an ok play although a little thin, from my side 100 % standard.

Explanation: He 3bets KJ, of course I am 4betting aces here. I belive this is the first hand of the match so I have no stats. On a low board I make a small cbet to entice him to either cr or continue w overs. I have no reads and no idea if he is a reg or a fish. He calls the flop bet, after which we both have just over a pot sized bet left. Most draws cr there so I feel I am pretty protected and want him to bluf his floats on river which is why I check that turn, which also protects my against a lot of his 2 pair outs on a river. In other words, that check is v standard. On river he pot bets, I call. From my perspective (and everyone elses in the world) this feels super standard.

Explanation: At this point, after 152 hands, he is up on me before I eventually turn it around in the next 155 hands. I 3bet AQss of course, he defends, I flop trips. I bcet, he raises, I pretty much have the best hand here so I raise again, he calls. Here I feel he must have either something good enough to bet after calling that last flop raise, or that he has floated and will bluff. By now, after 152 hands, it is pretty clear I am playing a very huge fish so standard logic doesnt always apply. It could be argued that betting this turn is a more optimal play but that might be only slightly. I check, he makes a bad bet w a decent hand, I of course shove, he calls. From my perspective 100 % standard I believe.

7. Super standard. By here we have played tons of hands, I know he will not fold almost anything after 3betting. He is 3betting over 50 %, I have AK, he has 75 bbs and I feel shoving is the highest EV play. Since his stack is fairly short I could be put in an awkward position if I 4bet small and he calls, seeing as I wont make a pair a fair amount of the time. So I believe a shove is the hghest EV play here and actually pretty standard here against this player with these stack sizes.

Explanation: Another standard hand. I get two broadways, 3bet his 73 % small blind open, knowing his fold to 3bet by now is zero (with a sample of 5 3bets from me). I flop my pair, and make standard cbet. He calls. On turn I feel a bit scared seeing as we started the hand 200 bbs deep. The 4 brings a few straights, a few draws that he might just raise since he is a fish (I want to play a big but not a huge pot here w a vulnerable hand). So I check, he bets, I call. On river, I again check since he has the lead and he could very well have air and bluff, and again he bets. He floated w garbage, turned a draw which he bet, and bluffed river. I cbet a top pair then check called two streets. Super standard play from me.

Explanation: As he is 3betting so many hands (over 50 %), I am limping a fair range vs him. At this point, because of his high 3b, I am only playing 74 % from the small blind (am usually much higher), raising in 62 % and limping the rest. I limp, he raises my limp, I of course call. He cbets, I of course call with second pair. On turn he bets again, and me continuing here again is pretty standard. His range is super wide and there are a ton of straight, flush and air combos in his range. On river I catch a nine, so I of course call with my two pair. He has been cbetting his top pair bad kicker all the way since he is a pretty weak player. My play here is, again, 100 & standard.

On turn he continues, of course I call. On river he hits his two pair while I hit my flush, he bets; I of course shove with the second nuts, he calls with his 2 pair. Again, super standard from my perspective.
These are the 5 largest hands that he won:

Explanation: This is the worst hand I played during the session I think, albeit not awful. He opens, I of course 3bet a very good hand,he 4 bets which he is doing with 57 (!!!!) % of his range. I am down a bit after being up, a but tilted and a bit impatient, but I know I am hugely ahead of his range and by now fater 146 hands I know he is a fish that can call off w very marginal hands. Only in rare case will I be in terrible shape here I figure. I am right, as he calls off w a very marginal a 9 off. And unfortunately, he wins the hand and I dont. Fairly standard hand but seeing as I win all the money in the end this hand probably doesnt matter.

Explanation: I open, he 3bets, this time I small 4bet to take intitiative which I am doing because we are deep and he won´t 5 bet me here unless he has a monster. This gives me initiative on flop without having to face a cbet and is a standard play, especially against someone 3betting 51 % which he is doing here. I flop huge (straight + flush draw), and bet. He calls w his second pair. On turn I bet again, doing well against his entire range with my equity and huge draw, and he calls w his pair again which he is correct to do here, since he has also picked up a straight draw to with it. On river I miss all my outs and give up, he wins. 100 percent standard hand, no further comments needed.

Explanation: A standard hand with some turn play explanation needed. I open, he 3bets (by this point 53%), I call w q6ss. I flop 2 pair, and as he bets, I raise small, since he has so much air here (cbet after 3bet is still 100 %). As we are fairly deep, its late and I have finally won a bunch of money back by now (this is late into the match), I decide to check the K turn for a few different reasons. One, that could be a hand that puts him in front, and if he has a made hand I am either way ahead or way behind. If stacks were shallower I am betting here and getting it in, but I dont quite want to do that here. 2, if I check and do a very conservative pot control, he can well bluff a ton of rivers. My check is decent I believe. O turn w the jack of hearts I he checks. I felt that there isnt a ton that can call here but still, checking behind two pair against such a huge fish is a hard thing to do. He check calls having rivered the straight on the 3 flush board. Again, not an amazing hand at all.
