Is Luda Chris the greatest poker player of all time or something else?

What is your opinion of Luda? Is he just a fish on a heater? Below are this years stats.

Overall he is "only" up about $300k but the question is after Episode 83 what changed? The last 27 episodes he has total +$728,248 dollars while playing a 64 VPIP | 35 PFR | and just an insane amount of 3 betting as you can see above.

Each stream is about 5 hours long, so he played 135 hours on stream (last 27 streams) and is making about $5,394 per hour. Avg stake is about $50/100 so he is averaging about 54bb / hour!!!!

Gman's twitter post and the comments might shed some more light on the situation.

What I want to know is:
1) Are Ryan Feldman and Luda still room mates? Isn't this a conflict of interest to have your room mate or friend play on stream when you have access to the whole cards?
2) Why did Luda Chris get banned from playing on LATB?
3) Why did Ryan protest so hard to get the banned lifted?
4) Why doesn't Ryan use GFX like PokerGo, Triton, or The Lodge? Why does he need to be in "Godmode" with access to the hole cards as Berkey says.

How does Luda go from a losing player to winning 54bb / hour?

In terms of tells look at Chris when he raised the flop. Now notice his facial expression when he bets the turn. If he checks it would be too obvious that he knows!!!! But he facial expressions can't hide that he knows he is beat on the turn and he is about to torch $5k or so.

We don't have any "proof" or "smoking gun" but damn! I hope we are not all idiots. We can see what is going on right?

From around the time Luda decided he couldn't beat high stakes and started playing only the Ante game.

Over the last 32 streams, about 160 hours of play, he is making $3,747 per hour. Must be nice to make $149 per hand!

Is he also receiving.massages mostly during suspicious hands? I know nothing else about this situation but just by looking at your screenshots, a pattern emerges.

No phones are allowed on stream, but there are a lot of suspicious play. Its just not possible for someone to be winning 37bb/hr in stakes such as 50/100 for 8 months. Keep in mind they are getting about 25 hands per hour in this 8-9 handed game.

Just think about the number of coincidences that are occurring here.
1) Friends and or room mates with Ryan Feldman the co-owner and operator of HCL who has access to the hole cards in real time and former operator of LATB with access to hole cards.
2) When Ryan worked at LATB, Luda only played on LATB, where once again Ryan had access to the hole cards. Have to wonder why Luda only plays on stream where Ryan is working. He is not playing on other streams where Ryan doesn't work. He is only playing on a stream where his friend has access to hole cards.
3) He gets banned from playing at LATB or in Ryan's words "not banned, but asked not to play." You can twist it however you want.
4) Ryan protest with the other operators to let him play on stream, why does Ryan care so much if his roommate gets to play on stream or not?
5) Ryan hides the fact or doesn't inform the others that Luda is his roommate because Ryan doesn't think its a conflict of interest.
6) After Ryan leaves LATB and starts the HCL business with Nick, Luda starts playing on stream again, where once again Ryan has access to the hole cards in real time.
7) Ryan refuses to use GFX, which other streams use so NO ONE has access to hole cards in real time. He says he wants to keep it the way it is so he can control where the cameraman are looking. Couldn't you just signal the cameraman to look a certain direction when Luda the best hand or not? Luda doesn't need something on his body in order to get a signal from Ryan on having the best hand or not.
8) Which hands Luda chooses to raise, 3bet, 4bet, etc with and how they connect with the flop is just unworldly timing. You can't teach someone to squeeze 53o from the HJ and make a straight vs a set. You can't teach someone to 3bet 62s from EP and make a boat vs 52s. You can't teach someone to cold call raises with K4o in the CO and make a boat against KJ on KK24 board. The timing to make a big hand out of a trash hand preflop is just insane.

This video gives some more details and you can hear from Gman and Ryan themselves. A lot of it is just drama and there is no smoking gun. If the poker world can't convict Postle of cheating, then nothing is going to happen to Luda either. Maybe its just a fish on a heater with better instincts than anyone else on what is going to come out on the flop.

11 months ago in this video Luda took almost 2 and a half minutes 8:30 to 10:55 to call all in with Kings preflop. Now he is snapping people off with ATo? Idk maybe he knew the Q was coming?

In this A8o hand Luda squeezes preflop, X back flop, calls 1/2 pot turn. Calls 2/3 pot river with 4 to a straight. Maybe he is just the best player ever at live reads? In my mind the 3 bet calling range smashes this board 1) you can't beat value 2) you lose to a lot of bluffs 3) You even blocks the bluffs you beat like A5-A3h hands that bricked. So how does he make this call? What changed where you go from almost folding KK preflop to making insane hero calls with 4th pair on 4 liners and against Linglin 4 to a flush with 4 pair as well. His speech play to get "live reads" is him just putting on a show and toying with his opponents. Very similar to how Robbi called off J4 against Gman. All that speech play before calling off.

Luda Chris Results

The "Sun Run" continues as owners and operators just deem him to be "lucky."

Weekly +$66,025
Hourly $13,205
Only plays $25 ante game equivalent to $50/100

Nothing suspicious about it! To put this in perspective its like winning $660/hr in a $2/$5 game which most of us play. Does this seem realistic to you?

Sounds like there's some serious suspicion about the gameplay going on. With all those coincidences piling up, it's definitely raising some eyebrows. It's tough to say for sure without hard evidence, but the timing and circumstances seem pretty fishy...

Going back to June 2023 over the last 36 sessions Luda has won $958,000!

He is winning on avg $26,611 per session in a $25 ante game.

That is $5,322 / hr! Even if you make the Big blind $100 that is still 53bb/hr!

Does anyone actually believe this is not cheating?

As Garret Adelstein said in the spaces when discussing with Ryan Feldman. Starts around 1min 15sec.

Why was Luda banned from LATB? Why did Ryan throw a fit and pleaded with the management to get him back on the stream?

Does anyone ever see Luda play outside of HCL? Doesn't play on pokergo, The lodge, LATB, etc. Why does he only play at HCL where is room mate Ryan has access to the cards?

This hand demonstrates it all.

Raises pre UTG1 65o! CB the flop. Gets raised. XC 75% turn barrel. XC river 90% pot. So we have a 600bb pot where he beats almost nothing besides 33/44 without a heart. It was MW on the flop as well when Ling raises. He even says "if you are bluffing with a 3 of hearts..."

The allege cheating continues. Graph doesn't include his last session where he won $55,000. Just happens to limp 4bet J3o and make a full house. Then toy with his opponent about having a tough decision. Maybe Ryan needs to not have access to the hole cards or maybe they should hand shuffle where the deck mate isn't programmed where you can know what seat will win the hand.

Video that shows Deckmate 2 can be hacked.

I just wanted to point out that HCL switched companies and no long has access to hole cards in real time. If you check the HCL Tracker website. You can see Luda played consistently on HCL and no other stream up until the point that Ryan no longer had real time access to hole cards.

January played 5 times
February played 3 times
March played 2 times
April played 6 times
May played 3 times
June played 3 times
July played 3 times
August played 3 times
September 0
October 0
November 0

Some time after August HCL no longer had access to the hole cards. Why did Luda stop playing?

Just an easy 28 sessions for nearly half a million in a $25 ante game. Each stream is roughly 5hrs long and Luda makes a pretty consistent $3k+ per hour. $25 ante game is similar to 50/100. Does 30bb/hr seems like a normal win rate to you playing 2/3 of your hands?

Maybe Garret was right 14:40 of spaces.
