What's he playing? What are the stakes?

You said he started with $50 and he is now playing 40k pots??

Are you sure he isn't playing with play money? This is a real money table?

If he HAS made that in 1 day then he is on a heater. No doubt about that. I would stop RIGHT NOW and try and withdraw some of it. See how you go.

Having played online poker for a while now in a heck of a lot of rooms (I was what you call a bonus whore) I reckon I always went well when first starting out in a room (and also when I returned after being away for a long time). But, when I played the same room each night, I noticed the cards started to turn and you would always be losing those hands that you were winning in the beginning. Always getting beaten by bad beats.

It was probably just me but, hey, that's what seemed to happen.
