Legit or bogus? Heads up SNG: Wins 8 of 9 pre-flop all-ins, most as a dog.

Think this is legit? Maybe so, but what are the odds of it occurring
as it did?

Heads up SNG on PokerStars, each starting with $1500. My opponent was
all-in half the time. We played 49 hands. Of those, only 9 were
significant. They are pasted below:

--He starts out going all-in most hands---
1. All-in preflop with my TT against K7: I win. He is busted down to
$40 in chips. (I have $2960.)
2. All-in preflop with my T5 against 65: He wins and doubles up.
(Catches 6 and 5.)
3. All-in preflop with my J8 against KQ: He wins and doubles up.
4. All-in preflop with my Q9 against Q4: He wins and doubles up.
(Catches Q and 4.)
5. All-in preflop with my Q3 against A9: He wins and doubles up.
6. All-in preflop with my A2s against K7: He wins and doubles up.
--At this point he tightens up and stops going all-in nearly every
hand---
7. I have KK. He doesn't go all-in. I win $540. He folds.
8. All-in preflop with my A6 against AT: He wins and doubles up.
9. All-in preflop with my A7 against QT: He wins the tournament.

When unusually bad luck has happened, I have had Sharkscope.com open in
my browser. Could PokerStars be detecting that, considering it
cheating, and adversely influencing the way cards fall? Preposterous?
