Is that a phone in front of seat 8?

When was the stream of this game?

Could it be that they didn't really enforce this no phones rule (as obv they would know who the real cheater was); but in fact did some kind of half hearted token gesture and switched to this headphone method.

You certainly can be convicted on circumstantial evidence. But the type of circumstantial evidence we're talking about in this thread is either "weak" (MP has a background in RFID) or very hard to break down in layman terms (winrates, statistical probabilities, etc.). Statisticians/mathematicians, I would imagine, make terrible "expert witnesses": they're too smart and certain statistical analysis will just go over even an intelligent person's head. Even if a statistician can confidently say wining 30 sessions in a row or achieving x hundred dollar per hour winrate at low/mid stakes is something like 1 in 200 million. A good defense lawyer will just ask "what is the probability of winning powerball?" The answer being something like 1 in 300 million. At which point the defense has brought into play a very understandable form of reasonable doubt. MP's winrate (assuming 1 in 200 million was accurate) is actually easier than winning Powerball. This is all just speculation and mental masturbation. Point being, charges are often laid with a combination of good evidence. And direct evidence is always good evidence.

I just deleted a bunch of posts pertaining to government, guns, etc.

Automatic lengthy temp-ban with a boatload of infraction points to any subsequent post along those lines.

Wow amazing thread, only 300 posts in but he seems dead to rights.

People in the room HAD to know, and chose to cover it up, its shocking that so many things obvious suspicion points were ignored.. the thing about consulting for the card reader / rfid is bananas.

This could be really damaging for stones, which was starting to get a great rep. I think they did a great job with the live streams but can't imagine commentators not picking up something shady. Should have been close to an open secret.

I mean not playing in any other big games either? Ridiculous.

During the 88/TT house over house hand, I went thru the video.

Justin Kuraitis/JFK on YouTube chat said that he spoke to Mike and he said the graphic was wrong and he actually had 78.

However there was no point where Justin came to the table to speak to Mike during the delayed 30 mins. This was also a phone in lap hand, and as we know he doesn't text or make his phone visible during these sessions.

Now the camera angles doesn't catch everything, so it is possible he did come to the table. But I feel that this was Justin Kuraitis covering for Mike in the 30 min catchup when the commentators/chat started questioning the flat call with the 3rd nuts.

not sure howd he be using an earpiece by grabbing his hat, maybe im missing something. if he wanted an earpiece wouldnt he just use an airpod? maybe hes just pretending to stretch his neck to get a good look at his phone

Yes, you are missing something. Google Bone conduction headsets then look at photos of his padded baseball cap earlier this this thread.

Yet ANOTHER example of cheater Mike Postle reaching for his hat AFTER he bets $100 on the flop and gets called 3 ways. Mike has middle pair and an open ender. Amazingly, he folds the blank turn to a single bet of only $300 getting over 3 to 1! What!?

he apparently has bone conduction headphones stitched into his hat. not an earpiece as there is a risk of people noticing it.

It’s possible you are right but with nothing else I would bet against it. There needs to be at least some decent circumstantial surrounding how he possibly did it. Hands don’t seem like enough.

I played with the hue/saturation/brightness/contrast of the pictures of the stuffed hat, and interestingly, two shapes emerged that look suspiciously like what is shown in the above video link:

That is an amazing fold.

But when you're the best in the world, how often are you really wrong making that laydown? Honestly people in this thread should stop with the cheating allegations and start studying this man's game, he's the best in the world and giving out free lessons. You'd be a fool not to.

If he is, that could save Mike from a significant claim of damages for damaging Stones reputation. Mike could claim that it wasn't his idea and this employee, etc, etc.

Agree. If he knew the runouts, he wouldn't have folded his KK to Jaman Burton when Jaman made trip queens on the flop. They rabbit hunted this one and the turn was a king.

The true problem with prosecuting this case is that - the % of the population smart enough to understand how improbable Mike’s run is, is significantly less than the % of the population that is smart enough to get out of jury duty.

LOOOOOL Bless you sleuths

Kindly cease interactions with this forum you muppet.

Whatever comes out of this I hope Justin gets fired. Having played at Stones and Thunder Valley many times Justin always came across as a superficial dolt. Ben Erwin on the other hand is the fu@$n GOAT. Turned Thunder Valley Poker room into an industry standard.

Justin rarely listened to his players advice but was always quick to enforce his own ideas. For example his Fall Classic tourney structures when it first ran were ****. I told him multiple times and explained why they were ****. He would not listen. So I had to get the Chainsaw involved on twitter and put him on blast. Allen trolled his structures via twitter and he finally changed them. I think his fake ass comes across in his tweets; so quick to condemn Veronica and so quick to say, nothing to see here folks. Now his tune has changed because Stones has massive liability on it hands and he is in the heart of it. He controls all the Stones twitter accounts so who knows what senior management is hearing.

The ****ing internet is undefeated

HEY GUYS DON'T MIND ME, JUST SCRATCHING MY HEAD HERE WHILE I THINK ABOUT CALLING A 3BET WITH 95o!

2009 just called. They want their Downfall Hitler rant meme back.

Civil case? Maybe. Criminal? No. Burden of proof is on the prosecution. Defense has say so in jury selection. It isn't too difficult to find someone that has lost in a casino and thinks they rig it again at the player. They could easily find this as payback and refuse to find guilty.

You would also have to get lay people to understand complicated math, variance, and statistics. Some will lose interest and start to think about going home. Expert witnesses are useful, but in this case, reasonable doubt is not a tough battle. "My client was extremely lucky and many other people have been lucky, too. He has records of winning money in poker for 15 years, etc....." Reasonable doubt is not a tough battle here.

All that goes away if a co-d is found, they apply pressure, and get to flip. If there is allegiance and no one talks, it is a tough case to win.

Just so unbelievably greedy.

Holy ****, this is very damning evidence. That's right! Production and commentators would only get access to the 30 min delayed feed which they would then produce the camera angles and graphics. From memory, the hand gets super out of line when he 3bet shoves the river. How and, more importantly, WHY would Justin run over to Mike to ask for the hand details, then run to relay that to the commentators and graphics team and update it in the time it took for his opponent to fold to the 3bet. I don't have the hand in front of me, but they were both bluffing so I'd imagine it only took a few seconds to fold, but the graphic changed immediately after the hand was mucked. It seems almost impossible timing wise and super suspect as to WHY he would feel the need to take such immediate action on the hole cards. Even if he's telling the truth, its very damning, but timing wise its just not possible. What most likely happened was, after the hand was over, Mike signaled over Justin and told him to change the graphics on the hand. Or, Justin just saw how crazy the hand looked, and told graphics to change the hand, maybe even doing it himself. This is the most damning evidence of foul play from both Mike and especially Justin. We have some real evidence here and a clear motive.

also thanks for the clarification on the bone conduction headphone thing
