This x100
(I think he absolutely cheated)

If your defense is basically live reads bro, table psychology...
And you go on the pre-show to discuss hands and actually say, (I’m paraphrasing) “I don’t really study poker or remember hands, I don’t go over stuff”. You chalk it up to live dynamics BUT you’re never paying attention or looking up from your lap, come on man

I'd set the odds as:

-200: Option #2
+230: Option #3
+5000: Option #1
+10000: Not cheating

I can't believe Stones saw this for this long, amid the questions from other players, all this evidence and winning and have not been able to get to the bottom of this.

I really can't believe that is the case.

I hope not but I always knew in the back of my mind that the house will not protect my money, they will only protect theirs. So whether in the know or not they are going to brush this off and move on. They will continue to fill seats once this dies down.

The people announcing make it so much harder to watch. Imagine how moronic (or sociopathic) you have to be to give this guy the God worship he's gotten.

There is also a hand where he correctly folds AK pre. This wouldn't be that damning but this guy also colds calls with garbage all the time. He just never puts his money in bad against monster hands ever.

The dude that called his bluff with A9 is the real pokergod here.


Also, the announcers seem to hate Harlan too. They tried to run a segment called "What was Harlan thinking here."

I think they have to be in on it. There is no way you could commentate on hours and hours of this guy god modding every hand and not think that something is up.

This guy is clearly cheating and my bet goes via earwig.

Hope someone gives this rat what he deserves.

I'm honestly baffled. He has 95 off, AJ suited folds, and he's facing 64 suited all-in, and AQ suited with a big stack. Even if you know the hole cards, consider bluff/catch equity, and consider pot vs. stack size, I can literally see no reason to make the call.

You'd have to know with certainty that AQ will fold to anything. I don't see how that's possible if one of the 2 remaining aces, a Q, or clubs hit.

Ultimately, he committed 1/4 stack with a substandard chance to take his 95 off head-to-head with 64s.

I'm seeing no rational reason to make this play - is there some information/approach I'm not considering here?

I'd really be interested in some of the most obvious spots, AK and KK hands.

Also if we could try to figure out his bluffing range in these games and compare it to his Kate Moss value range in the rfid games.

The fact that he is always correct increases the likelihood the transmission of the data is automated.

If someone were texting him manually, there would be errors, or delays where he was left without info and had to act on his own, etc.

He's blatantly cheating AND he's doing it LIVE ON STREAM.

As the circumstaical evidence mounts, it's obvious he's cheating. Sad that he will likely get away with it.

Insane how these super users are so blatant about it, stunning stupidity to the point he frequently has to claim RFID mistake. Pure wreckless greed.

I was just thinking this

I think he's doing multiple things not just seeing the players hole cards

Even knowing everyone's hole cards the hands like the 95o hand he would be massively leaking money

No, they don’t hate Harlan. Harlan has his own show there too. I think his is called Harlan and Victims. In fact, I’ve never seen Harlan lose a session there either. Always a huge winner. And he plays a super laggy style as well.

Here is what is the most concerning thing about this, at least to me:

Imagine if he wasn't so blatant about it. Like, he makes it obvious he is cheating. Maybe he figured he would eventually get caught and wanted to make as much money as possible before which would make sense, sort of. But a much smarter player wouldn't do the obvious things that he is doing. They would lose pots. They would make bad calls on the river, they would get coolered. But they would win, and win a lot. Some of the hands people can make reasonable excuses for getting away from. But the hands where he calls with 54o, and shoves with 76o or 95o there really is no explanation for. It is obvious. That to me is the scariest thing. If he is doing it, and making it obvious that he is doing it, there has to be some guys out there who are doing the exact same thing but not like an idiot and not getting caught.

If he is involved in production maybe at some point he had some time with the table setup.

Yeah I think given the evidence we have it seems more likely that Mike is doing this without help. He supposedly helped set up the live stream at some point?? Seems plausible that he is intercepting the RFID transmissions with his phone or his keys without input from another party. Or that he gained access to the computer that the information gets relayed to. My bet is that it's a one man job. BUt of course he could have insider help as well. One thing that's nearly certain though is that he is a cheating scumbag.

Deleting his linkedin account saying that he is a poker consultant is damning.

Just like Alec Torelli, Mike thinks he can cheat on a livestream and get away with it. Ridiculous. You're caught Mike!!!
