highlights include Jaman boiling it down to "mob mentality" and "people are just bored", Mike's brother "there's no proof. If there was proof, then show the proof" and Trooper going with the classic "innocent until proven guilty" defense.
At this point if you haven't seen any proof then you are just willfully burying your head in the sand and don't actually want to see it.
The way Jaman was going on and on about it you would nearly think someone was paying him to declare Mike Postle's innocence. It actually blows my mind that any experienced poker player would come to the defense of any other poker player so quickly after serious accusations like this have come out. We've seen this kind of thing play out so many times in the past where a poker player (sometimes squeaky clean) is accused of something and then it turns out he is guilty.
How well does Jaman even know Postle? I suppose he's played poker with him a decent amount and enjoys his company. I think you're crazy if you think you can judge a person's character simply by playing poker with him. Also, being good with people (as Postle seems to be) is a trait common to any good conman.
At this point I'd give Trooper a pass on this one though. I doubt he's that familiar with all the details and the only point he made was true. A person shouldn't have to prove one's innocence. Thing is, there is overwhelming proof that Postle was cheating. We don't need to know exactly how he cheated to know he cheated. I only needed to watch one session to realize he was cheating and there are literally dozens of sessions that people are watching to gather the data which will prove his guilt.

I guess it is different for different people but the initial attraction for many of us was that his vlogs were showing the struggles of a poker player trying to gain traction as a full time poker pro. The ups and downs he experienced made for a fascinating story, IMO. However, those days are long passed and I'm not sure what people find interesting about his vlogs these days other than he's a likeable guy with some fun catchphrases.
