Higherhighs is definitely a weird hire, given that he is all but confirmed cheating at their OFCp tables. I wonder if the SWC team thinks he helped or hindered the site.
Seems like you have a personal vendetta but I'll bite in case I'm wrong. How is he all but confirmed cheating? Solver? collusion?
Yes, he is live solving.
I wonder if SWC could answer these three questions to alleviate some concerns about security of funds and integrity of the site:
1) Has ownership of SWC recently changed?
2) Do you not consider it a conflict of interest that higherhighs is playing against players he is actively involved in muting/banning?
3) Do you consider the PR you have gotten recently better than before and do you anticipate it changing in the future?
Thanks in advance.
Let's clear some things up.
First, SkyReVo AKA Ugot0chance on SwC has played a good number of hours of chinese poker against me. And I first learned that solvers existed for chinese poker because he started accusing a different player we were playing against of cheating. Apparently, if he wins, he is the greatest, and if he loses, it could only be because someone cheated him.
I have never cheated one hand of poker in my career, and I have never used a solver while playing or for practice. Because of this, I am confident there is no proof of me 'cheating', because I never have.
What uGot0Chance/SkyReVo forgot to mention is that I offered him $2,000, no strings attached, to provide any proof that I have cheated or used a solver in any capacity. This was my response to him calling me a cheater after our last session. That offer is still open and available to anyone.
I also offered him to escrow $2,000 and I would do the same, and I would livestream play him, to prove that my mind is the only thing I need to beat him. He also declined this invitation.
Now lets talk about chat. I have volunteered to help SwC clean up their chat/culture because their new rules were not being adhered to by many players/chatters who have evolved with SwC over the years. The chat at SwC, had been very toxic, as there were literally no rules for chatting for 8 years. This involved many players/chatters logging in every day to SwC to abuse other players with often time racist and homophobic remarks and a lot of abuse. This culture, may have formed a tight nit bond with a few players, but pushed a lot of new players away over the years and made it so it was tough for people to rec the site to their friends, knowing they would be exposed to extreme abuse.
Having been playing on and off on the site since very first month in existence, I had seen the evolution of the site and culture, and had always felt that this aspect of the site needed to change to be able to grow. So when I saw an opportunity to help for a short amount of time to evolve the culture in a positive direction, I offered to help. I saw someone say that SwC shows me emails, that is not true, I discuss with them why players were muted when the player emails in, and the screnshot I saw, was from a discord where players who are on board with the changes, send me screenshots of abusive/racist behavoir.
Many players are thrilled with the new direction of SwC, but there are definitely a handful of players, that have deemed it more important to be able to drop racist and homophobic slurs at will then to respect the request and chat rules that SwC has put forth. These players seem to be the most vocal on social media and are distorting the truth in some type of effort to get me 'fired'. I put 'fired' in quotes because I am not paid or compensated at all.
uGot0Chance/SkyReVo lost his chat permanently for advertising another poker site and enticing SwC players to play there.....he made over a dozen of these posts on July 13th, and was permanently muted because of it. Though poaching players for another site was more then enough to perm mute him, he also chose to be disturbingly abusive towards me, graphically giving me in-depth directions in the lobby chat on how to slit my wrists correctly.
Lastly, if you ever stopped playing on SwC because of the culture, I hope you stop by and check out just how different it has become. I am really proud to be part of the reason why hate speech and abusive behavoir are no longer tolerated on SwC, and although some of the abusers have now found an outlet thru social media, I am looking forward to SwC continuing to strive to be a poker destination for all players.
Thank you for your time,

Whew... lots of smoke screens here, very impressive. I'll keep it short:
Yes, I have played higherhighs for a while and we have since confirmed that during that period, he has used live assistance against me and atleast two other (ex-)regulars. This was confirmed by a developer of one of these solvers (think PIO solver, just for Chinese) with confidence. If you follow this thread, you know why I'm not confident sharing exactly how we know with him or SWC. But it's unequivocally the case. We haven't played much recently, therefore I do not know if he still does is since he is affiliated with SWC.
For any (potential) OFCp player, I just issue this warning: There is a reason none of the regs ever plays higherhighs anymore and if you're really interested, DM me and I'll share info on discord.
There is no upside to me taking his "offer". It's another fairly obvious smoke screen, don't think I have to explain.
As for the chat issue, I couldn't care less. Yes, I do verbally abuse cheaters. Consider yourself lucky that that's all that happens nowadays, back in the day, cheaters were buried alive in the desert. Ah, how times change. Just for clarification though, I am not an agent/affiliate for any site and didn't poach anyone, just told people that there are much better options and referred them to other agents. Again, don't care about the chat ban. But I will always warn about cheaters.
Lastly, if you ever stopped playing on SwC because it seemed sketchy, I hope you consider my words of caution that SWC has extremely bad judgement in who they deal with (and I suspect ownership has recently changed aswell), and therefore the risk of playing here has, imo, increased quite a bit.
In the end, you decide who to trust.
Thank you for your time,
