Gus Hansen accused SallyWoo cheat

At the beginning of the year, PokerCollectif told you Gus Hansen's because it was the big loser of the year 2013 on online poker tables.

This is that today ' today, it is still talking about him as an "SallyWoo" to cheat.

The following conversation took place on Full Tilt Poker tables on 26 December between Gus Hansen and "SallyWoo". According to Gus, "SallyWoo" would use a specific software for the Omaha Hi-Lo Fixed limit (FLO8). This software would give him an unfair advantage. Myth or reality?

Gus Hansen: the computer program just by your side - this could be a slippery slope.

SallyWoo:?

SallyWoo: huh

SallyWoo: what is you me accused of cheating?

Gus Hansen: and it is quite amusing that people who speak of integrity either you, KPR and Cotton as if you had something to prove.

Gus Hansen: Please, swear me that you do not have a FLO8 software

[...]

SallyWoo: You really accused me of it Gus? [...]

SallyWoo: tell me plainly

Gus Hansen: I don't accuse you of anything [...]

Gus Hansen: I think that you are FLO8 software - thats all what I said

[...]

Gus Hansen: since it is probably the last time that we play together - I just want to add that it was funny to see how you have offended by the fact that I say that you play with FLO8 software - what course are you doing

SallyWoo: ohh lord Gus, I'm not cheating.

To those who wonder who is "SallyWoo", an excerpt from its file on HighStakesDB:

"SallyWoo" is a specialist player with cash games, which focuses on the variants to limit fixed, in particular the Limit Hold'em and Omaha Hi / Lo. He played in the United States before Black Friday but has since moved to Mexico. He spent often hours seated at the tables before finding the action. He seems to prefer playing opponents in heads-up rather than on an ordinary table [...]

Little personal information are available about, but from his account on Twoplustwo, it appears love yoga and going to the gym. "He is friends with limit Hold'em player ' em high stakes KPR16."

Hard to say how much that player has won or lost as it is one of those players who hide their results. Some however say of him that he is the best player of FLO8 in the world.


As you may have read in the above exchange, Gus think Sally WINS because it uses a specific software for the FLO8.

A thread has been opened on the Twoplustwo forums and opinions are divided.

Some say that Gus has reason and others say simply that Gus loses because he is bad at poker, quite simply.

For the curious, here's the cat in full in English:

SallyWoo: what are u trying to get at with those questions?
SallyWoo: u think im pulling an angle?
Gus Hansen: just seemed funny that thing you to close the table down
SallyWoo: goal i didn't choose that now did ii
Gus Hansen: if not you then who closed the table down
SallyWoo: u including listen
SallyWoo: it was NEVER closed
SallyWoo: i had 2 tables open all day, 2nd one doesnt show its in the background
Gus Hansen: ok fair enough
SallyWoo: u should understand this
SallyWoo: for some reason when u left it pushed new one up front, maybe cause new one had more money at it? idk and dint notice
Gus Hansen: anyways - asked my friend about it - he thinks you should pay back the 4K - think it over - and do whatever you feel like
SallyWoo: wait, who is this friend
SallyWoo: and i thought our deal way we NEVER bet if guy dc
SallyWoo: but if he dc after we bet its on him
SallyWoo: i just 3 bet and then u dc
SallyWoo: am i in wrong here?
Gus Hansen: like I said think it over and do as you please
SallyWoo: do u think i did something wrong here?
Gus Hansen: nope you 3 bet nothing wrong with that
SallyWoo: i can assure u i where angle over 4 k, i have ZERO history of that
SallyWoo: in 12 yrs of onmline play (yes ive been around that long and im older than u)
Gus Hansen – whose think age gives any credit
SallyWoo: obvi not
SallyWoo: pointing out i have a long history of playing with integrity
Gus Hansen: I know that
SallyWoo: and this "friend" of yours told u i closed the table, when i didn't
SallyWoo: and i explained why, this "friend" should have also seen what happened
Gus Hansen: the computer program right by your side - could be slippery slope
SallyWoo:?
SallyWoo: huh
SallyWoo: are you accusing me of cheating?
Gus Hansen: and funny enough all the guys taking about integrity is you KPR and Cotton like you have to prove something
Gus Hansen: nope I am not
Hattenford (Observer): confirmed Gus, i was here to, he didn't close it
Gus Hansen: accusing you of cheating
Gus Hansen: of course not
SallyWoo: you accused me of closing tables to pull and angle and then have a computer prgram next to me, thats out of line imo
Gus Hansen: Please tell me that will swear that you hear right which have a computer program O8
Gus Hansen: anyways - I dont have a case in court - but I doubt any poker player would rule that you should keep the 4K
SallyWoo: you really are accusing me of this gus?
Gus Hansen: do whatever you think is right
SallyWoo: tell me upfront
Gus Hansen: I am not accusing you of anythjing
SallyWoo: what was our deal with dc, i will always honor it now and in future
Gus Hansen: I believe you have an O8 program - thats all I said
SallyWoo: i thought deal was if either player dc we return bsnt (i have done that for u 30 times)
SallyWoo: and if guy dc we check it down
Gus Hansen: maybe 130
SallyWoo: but if he dc after we bet its one player?
Gus Hansen: 571
Gus Hansen: ok
SallyWoo: im honoring our deal, as i always have
SallyWoo: what is 130 and 571?
Gus Hansen: times you have paid me back after disconnect
SallyWoo: every time u have those short dc which i always adjust bsnt for u?
Gus Hansen: I havent said you didn't
Gus Hansen: just enjoyed your exaggeration
SallyWoo: state the deal with dc and i will honor it, always have, but u were the one when we made deal that said if guy dc AFTER we bet its on him
SallyWoo: i remeber the conversation vividly
Gus Hansen: not sure we specifically said that
Gus Hansen: but this was preflop
SallyWoo: we did, ill ask FT to retrieve chat if they will, can u have them do it? i give you them and u permission to read it
Gus Hansen: whatever
Gus Hansen: since this was probably last time we played - I just wanna add it was funny you were so offended of me saying you have an O8 computer program - since obviously you do
SallyWoo: ohh lord gus, i including cheat
SallyWoo: i did nothing wrong here, ill ask ft for our conversation about our deal and send it to u on twitter or something
Gus Hansen: lol - I guess you are trying to start a career as a politician, since you like to answer in east when the question came from west
