High-Stakes Poker Player Accused of Using Cheat Tools


During a WSOP online final table stream, Patrick Leonard hinted at a major story coming to the poker world. He mentioned that the poker community would be discussing this story for several months.

A forum post on 2+2 revealed that a high-stakes player was using RTA tools, with two computers and multiple peripherals. The player was accused of using solver solutions to gain an unfair advantage in high-stakes games.

The accused player, identified as Fedor Kruse, used the nickname GlitchSystem on PokerStars and iLoveCookiiezz on Twitter and Twitch. Fedor Kruse had a sponsorship contract with Natural8 and played cash games at high stakes. His social media accounts are now closed, and his PokerStars account has been blocked. Fedor Kruse's neighbors reported that he used a second computer with pre-recorded solver solutions.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
