Im researching the scenario when I have to outrun the hacker, who is draining the compromised pkey.

So when its time to make a tx, he send the bundle to Flashbots. But also I send the bundle with the same nonce.

**Are there any established rules** , how Flashbots prioritize the bundles with the same nonces in some outgoing txs?

Based on my tests, its always pick something from the middle. Really didnt care about maxPriority gas.

**Question 1** : So its totally random?  
**Question 2** : Any ways to prioritize the bundles going from the same pkey and nonce?

_Screenshots showing the bundles with different gas, and same nonces, sent to the same target block._
