    This is some hunch that is not based on evidence, but maybe people close to the situation can find more evidence.
    The theory is the following:
    The reason Airball wanted his “engineer” friend to be at the table, is the same reason he is taking too many breaks…
    He is trying to feed hand history to an AI bot of some sort.

    Breks... come on. Are Nik's session actions shady? Sure. However, to say you are playing a "super watered down version of Doug" is ludicrous, and you can't possibly believe that. Poker is so complicated that to be good, you had to have put in the time. Thousands of hours of time. That cannot be done in a few phone calls or brief study sessions. You out-class Nik by light years, HU or not. Just your basic knowledge of the game alone should wreck this fool. You can exploit every mistake Nik makes, and half the time he won't even have the depth of understanding to know he is making them. Just own it. And just because you do think you personally should/need to get some help, it doesn't mean it's wrong for your opponent to get it. Opinions vary bro.
