This is the key. I've never even heard of Poker Fantasy. I'm CERTAIN you could find clean $1/$2 games elsewhere - Stars, Party, Full Tilt, etc, etc, etc... This is the risk you take when you go with an unknown.

As for whether it was a bot or not, I don't know. Definitely sounds suspicious, but also sounds like a really badly programmed bot. Most user bots are programmed to play limit - NL is far too complex of a game. If you found a NL bot that was winning AND folding when other players had AA, KK, etc.... I have to suspect foul play with the poker site. And if that's the case, obviously reporting your findings to the site is going to do nothing.

Ok, I just looked at their site, and I don't think they are even regulated by any Game Commission! They claim to have anti-collusion software (oooh, big deal), and they say that their players are protected from Identity Thieves, but I see no mention of their random card generator or most importantly being regulated by ANYONE.

Major red flag. If I were you, I would withdraw and never go back, and be a bit more selective of where you choose to play in the future.

Very Suspicious but..... you can look at it this way

Some ppl do play crazy like this calling every raise. They will make a ton of dough in a short period of time or lose a ton of dough in a short period of time
good and bad for you.

I would love to play at a table with a few of these players.
But the fact that this player was folding everytime someone had AA or KK
Would be a sign to get the hell out of there As fast as possible.

I can say this because I was at 450 with my bankroll went on mad tilt cause of a few bad beats and was playing every hand calling every raise went though big swings over 30 min. Lucky for me I hit a few hands and my bankroll is back at 424. So there are ppl who do play like this lucky for us I don't think they last too long once they hit a losing streak.

Couple other odd things I forgot to mention...

First, when I tried to request the hand histories (you have to do it in a pop-up and can request a specific hand, your last 10, 20, 50 or hands from a certain table from a certain time/date range) I tried to request from this table during the time/date range I was there and it came up as not being available. The other odd thing (but probably just coincidence) is that right before this happened someone came to the table and asked what we thought of the site, I said I thought it was pretty lame because of x, y and z.
