More NLH end bosses on the pod please!!

Love your videos/channel/IG Joey

Hey Joey,

Have you been hunting for potential pods with any of the online HSNL guys? Many of them are at least semi-retired now, so perhaps another offer could prove successful?

LLinus, Baron, Bit2easy, MMA, TT, Berri, NLZ, Sauce (again?), bigblindbets, MunEZ_StaRR, Ja.sam.gale, stefan11222, buttonclickr

Would be cool

You didn't ask if Bryan plays 25k tournaments himself.

Going to go live at 230pm EST today for one of my last Postle livestream investigations. I've been re listening to his interview w/ Matusow a bunch of different times and I think there is a lot to be learned/taken away from it that will be relevant to this case and also to future cases.

Love the pods and think what you do for poker and the community is amazing.

I have to say though that since the pods returned from hiatus you seem a little off. You aren't the same inquisitive person who seemed genuinely interested in his guests, you often seem distracted during the pods, the guess often is talking about something interesting only to look up and find your attention drawn to trivially **** in the room or to the chat not listening to their responses and the questions asked towards guests don't seem as sharp.

Only one person's opinion which really is meant to be constructive criticism although not sure it will be construed that way. I am generally a big fan but felt forced out of frustration to finally comment as I was really looking forward to JRB one after what I felt where some lackluster pods and again I felt like it wasn't really on. He is one of the most interesting guests I could imagine but you didn't delve all that deep or seem that interested in him. I came away feeling like it was a complete missed opportunity. Maybe I am way off base as it is only one man's opinion. You had some great banter with him and still did a better job than 99% of what anyone else does it just feels like the deeper dive that is usually so synonymous with the podcats is missing.

I haven't heard the entire interview, but it's hilarious to me how bad of a liar he is. Here are some of his tactics:

- Mention daughter / fatherhood as often as possible for sympathy
- "I don't want to be a multi-millionaire." Could be a true claim, but it has nothing to do with the allegations against him. Literally nothing.
- "They have the facts wrong." (In terms of buy-ins, win rate, add-ons, etc.) Liars like to sprinkle in truth that way that can speak confidently within their lie and to also prop up their lie with facts (or hazy lawyerish B.S.ing). Yes, it's obviously true that the data isn't precise, but those facts are just a part of the cheating allegations. This is why he vanished when people in the thread starting figuring out his exact methods, because that evidence would be too difficult for him to B.S. confidently.

You're a workhorse man. Thanks for all of your contributions over the years! Cant imagine how draining this has been.

this mike postle case is gonna be joeys " a beautiful mind" scenario.

Can we get a picture of all the books you got in the background?

Ingram, if you came at me and accused me of cheating, and regardless of whether I was guilty or not, and I was stupid enough to do this type of interview I'd be hysterical and dropping f-bombs everywhere, and I would be on a broken record repeat of, I'M SUING EVERYONE, Doug, Joey, everyone at 2+2 for slander. I didn't once hear Postle say he was counter suing. Instead Postle has this psychopathic-lackadaisical-passive approach to the interview WTF?

It was brought up, that yes, it's as if he's hoping to wake up and his nightmare will just go away.

He says he wants to "raise a level of doubt?" it's raised alright, his lack of conviction and lack of passion are clear indications that he's guilty A F!!!

You can watch in almost every stream that not one other player at the table carries the same level of guilt - once you're looking for it - not one other player is trying to sneak a peak of their crotches, not one other player has their phone constantly in their hand as much as Postle does. Postle is an idiot, he could have gotten away with it had he not been so greedy, instead we get to witness a greek tragedy play out in real time right in front of us. A tragedy where even gods can't survive.

The best part of that interview was the blood clot excuse for why he can’t play long. If the doctor determined he was prone to clotting a doctor would recommend he not take long flights to the Philippines. So it’s a bullshit excuse.

I think the podcast in general takes some getting used to after taking 4 months off from doing them regularly. I've done the podcasts the same way w/ since I started w/ live interaction - now the camera set up is different so you can see me during it.

I did 4 episode since I came back (Gus/Fedor were recorded during summer) and I thought the episodes w/ Doug, Scott, Nick, Bill, Rob were either good or really good. Once the Postle thing started, that's all I really have been thinking about and my attitude towards poker in general is 1000% different than it was before this thing started. Take that + lack of sleep + overall mind being very focused on Postle investigation = maybe what you saw in the JRB episode. I was happy we finally made it happen at all, that was my #1 priority w/ that specific episode as we've set a time a few different times now and I think some people enjoyed it nonetheless.

I think I'm more inquisitive in general now than I was before but not as much for poker after the Postle thing. We will see what happens. I have been 100% all-in on the Postle stuff since it first started. If I was having Postle only discussions w/ my podcast guests - I would probably come off as one of the most inquisitive people in the world about the specific topic and ideas related to it.

I thought it was a little lackluster interview too but sounds like you know also. Giving interview full attention eye contact or more of it when guest is speaking... Same as your great previous most interviews... never knew why jrb was so famous back in the day, sponsorship, all of it. Kinda thought him fake. But after a previous podcast and now yours, I get it. Above average smarts but very self depracating and humble. Pretty charismatic really comes off genuine. I don't know if it was agreed beforehand but him talking about private games more would been nice. More talk about the dooshy behavior of too many pro regs that has made private games gotoo option for whales. Jrb is providing a much needed service but just happens to be the guy that profits from it. Don't blame him at all and wish him luck... Pokers dog eat dog world and he's paid his dues.. Even Andy robly has sped up his game, there is always hope!

Thought the JRB podcast was good, he was a good sport watching the 5 3 hand. His dead man tale was very funny.

Quick question guys, I had been away from the poker world for like 8 years, has Joey done any podcasts on PLO strat of any particular relevance to today's PLO environment, if so, where should I start?

no

lol spot on

"guys dead hands dead" haha joey interview with nick Shulman was awesome he got nick to open up and took some skilz to do that. Joey bring that same curiosity interest to all his interviews he's unstoppable

1.) Bryn Kenney end boss
2.) BK -$3.5M in makeup beginning of 2019
3.) BK risks half of net worth on one tournament
4.) BK gets first in said tournament
5.) BK says he end boss

It all adds up obviously!!!1!

Creating a new 5 part series for this week called Mike Postle's Greatest Poker Session where I go over every hand sped up from Postle's top Stones session. I wanted to make something easier to consume instead of a 5 hour stream + show all hands so that people could see what an actual full session is like when Postle is in God Mode vs a collection of hands. Enjoy.

Videos NOON EST everyday this week

This is the first time I've watched footage of Postle playing, and one hand in you made me lose confidence that anything is going on.

He raises 84s despite clearly playable hands behind. That makes little sense.

You said he bluffs with no equity a lot, but then he bluffs into a GS + FD by a recreational player, who obviously won't fold. That makes no sense either.
It would only make sense that he raises trash when everyone else also has trash, and that he bets multi way with no equity when others can't call.

As I said, I haven't seen other hands, but no point in pointing at every move and saying ''oh, must be cheating''.

Love your podcasts, Joey. But I think it is enough with this postle cheating scandal. It is slowly getting very boring and imo another podcast about this will not contain anything interesting. It is just a matter of time the majority of the audience will see the exact same way.

Hope you bring some podcasts with new guests/topics.

That isn't how Postle operates.

He doesn't look down at his lap pre-flop unless he has to. It doesn't matter to him if people have playable hands or not - he doesn't fold to 3bets.


That is the plan after this series. I want to spend some time on other videos this week and I also want people to be able to see a full Postle session because there are still people who haven't seen it. I know that many people in the poker world would like this to go away as fast as possible.

I find it less exciting than initially but still much more interesting than anything else happening right now. I could watch 100 more hours of someone playing w/ access to the hole cards because as sick as it is, it's super interesting to watch for me. Others can make different videos if they want to.

If I make anymore videos - it will be more for historic purposes than anything else.

This is pretty much bang on. Why fold preflop when you have the edge of CTO? There's a reason Postle plays like a VPIP Fish and that's because he can see the damn cards.

It's glaringly obvious that this guy is cheating. Now it's all about figuring out how he did it.

Great work as always Joey. Let's get this guy.

solid idea for the condensed vids, i would love to watch your stuff on this but can't commit that kind of time
