Fedor Kruse joking on Twitch Poker about the cheating allegations
Fedor Kruse, the German pro at the centre of an alleged cheating scandal, has been joking on Twitch about his use of Real Time Assistance. It comes as revelations about Kruse’s past cheating in Call of Duty hit the headlines…
As we reported earlier in the week, Kruse was outed as the player involved in what was termed a huge new poker scandal. In a follow-up, we revealed the overwhelming evidence that was provided by Kruse’s flatmates as well as fellow pros.
That included photos of the ‘dream machine’ computer set-up Kruse is said to have used, with folders full of pre-solved GTO answers which he used in real-time during highstakes cash games.
Screenshots of mobile phone conversations with others also appeared to show Kruse admitting to RTA (Real Time Assistance) as he rose through the ranks.
Kruse, playing under the username ‘GlitchSystem’ online, moved from 100NL up to an incredible 40kNL in mere months. It lead to suspicions among his fellow players.
Kruse has apparently been reported to PokerStars and the GG Network for his breaches of the rules.
No laughing matter?
Yesterday, however, screenshots show him downplaying the claims. He commented on a losing graph with the German phrase: “also mit RTA wär der Graph nicht passiert.”
That translates as: “So, with RTA this graph wouldn’t have happened,” and Kruse, under his screenname ‘iLoveCookiiezz’ adds a seemingly sarcastic ‘no GTO’ meme.
To some of those following the case, it reminded them of Kruse’s previous career as a gamer, focusing on Call of Duty.
Fedor Kruse Cheating at Gamescom 2015
The 2plus2 thread dedicated to Kruse’s alleged poker cheating revealed: ‘Kruse used to be a famous YouTuber before his career in poker. Apparently, he has a way of cheating his way through life.
“According to this article, he cheated his way through lines of waiting people by copying fast passes for the CoD booth at Gamescom. Quite the character this Kruse guy.”
That incident in 2015 saw Kruse (pictured above right at an earlier Gamescom) making multiple copies of VIP Fast Passes. That allowed him and his friends to abuse the limited time slots available to play games at the convention.
According to InGame.de editor Marco Kruse, no relation to Fedor: “Since apparently no more Fast Passes could be made available for Fedor, the Youtuber had to get creative.
“The solution was as simple as it is ingenious. Just copy the Fast Pass beforehand and use it several times. Since there is no limit to copying, it seemed logical to Fedor to do this enough for everyone to benefit.
Marco added in his (German language) article: “Leaving pals and subscribers empty-handed would also be quite anti-social. A principle which, according to the latest Fedor video, is almost a tradition…”
Despite being caught red-handed, losing his CoD licenses for YouTube, and having to remove all his videos, Kruse’s channel was soon restored by Activision, much to the displeasure of many in the gaming world.

In this week’s breaking poker story, Kruse has yet to comment on the claims that he has cheated by using RTA. Despite apparent promises to do so following a meeting with PokerStars.
His flatmates, who provided much of the evidence, have admitted to profiting slightly from Kruse’s cheating.
Henri “Buehlero” Buehler is also alleged to have staked Kruse and profited hugely from it. Although he has yet to say whether he knew of Kruse’s ‘RTA Dream Machine’ cheating.
We will have more on Henri Buehler’s alleged involvement next week.
