Maybe he has other cardroom duties but I think its highly possible he has liberal free time and discretion to pull this off.


Exactly if this live stream is his baby maybe while it’s going on it’s all he does. Especially if he’s involved in it..

I think its more of a lone wolf cheat imo.
If they used a teamviewer type programme, it wouldn't have needed much involvement from him.

The headphones, yes more but still possible. Could have been a third party off site who was given the teamviewer access who then relayed the info to Mike.

Estimates have been from 150-250k. If he's getting 35-50% of that, then its probably doubling his salary. And the guy basically brags about his new Tesla every 2 minutes.

I think the whole bigging up of Postle was so that they could get bigger games/more action so they could do 15k+ avg sessions rather than 5k ones. Of course they didn't think it thru that the more well known players would attract more scrutiny, as well as Veronica being brave to come forward.

This is a tournament that was live streamed from april 29th 2019. Its a $200 15k guaranteed 6 max tournament, he got 3rd place according to hendon mob. Look if his mannerisms are different from cash or see if he may be doing the head bob.
Does he use 2 hands during this donkament? Or is his left hand in his lap like the cash games...

Also guess who is in the youtube chat... you guessed it JRK aka Justin

If the police can get Guyger's text messages, I'm sure they can catch these two idiots discussing this in text messages. Phone companies have to keep data for a certain period now.

The other crazy thing on that 89 hand where the card switches is that T Bone only had like $750 left in a $5k pot.

Probably explains why mike took so long to decide if he should jam. That raise by T Bone is essentially an all in so Mike has to come of with a reason as to why he would jam there and his explanation was I had the nuts obviuialy.

What a pos this guy is.

First off I want to say that I have not been reading up on this thread in the past few hours, so if anyone has already noted any of these points, I apologize for the redundancy and for not giving them credit.


I was very curious when someone posted Mike's monthly results for 2019 and his only losing month was June. Another thing that peaked my interest was people noting that Stones TD Justin Kuraitis was in Vegas in June. So I decided to do some more research into this and see if there was correlation in the timeline of Mike's poor results in June and Justin being in Vegas in June.


Justin Kuraitis:
Scrolling through Justin's twitter timeline, it looks like he was in Vegas from approximately May 28 through July 12. I'm sure someone can verify the exact dates. I've posted the links to his first and last tweets from Vegas that are stamped "from Nevada".

Justin in Vegas May 28 - July 12

Mike Postle:
All of Mike's sessions from May 20 - July 20 are listed below. I have determined based on watching the hands which sessions he is cheating and which sessions he is not. I am an experienced player and consider myself qualified to make these determinations, but I have posted links to spots I believe indicate cheating or not cheating so you can take a look at them for yourself. A couple of things I noticed about Mike's appearance that differ when he is cheating vs when he is not cheating. When he is cheating, he is always wearing his hat forward and his phone is in his lap. However, when he is not cheating, he is either not wearing a hat or he is wearing his hat backward and his phone is not always in his lap.

-https://youtu.be/uQujzYc-lrk?t=11081
-https://youtu.be/uQujzYc-lrk?t=11521


Based on this timeline, I have come to the conclusion that Mike does not cheat when Justin is not around. Coincidence? Definitely possible. But this needs to be more thoroughly investigated.

Hopefully everyone involved in this scheme will be brought to justice and we can figure out exactly how this was done so we can prevent it from ever happening again.

Having both sources almost guarantees he'll be aware of the holdings nearly every hand.

Also with the potential cap piece, it could easily be configured to turn off/on with light pressure right? My current headphones if I barely brush this pressure sensor with my arm they immediately toggle off.

Its like scanning a barcode. Either it correctly scans your rice krispies correctly or it reads nothing. If for some reason its labelled wrong as skittles, then it will always scan skittles.

This is somewhat wrong. Can't remember who said it on Twitter but someone played on this show and it got their whole cards wrong in a hand. In the same hand the graphics was showing two J diamonds. One on the flop and one in God's hand

So they do misread

Do we know if his "phone" is "plugged in?"

You know how many of the newer poker tables have USB power plugs? Well, what if the "table" at stones had a USB that you could plug in to tap into the RFID and ran that on his device?

looks like best practice is for production to occur on the actual live feed as it is being filmed so that their is direct and live communication between dealer and production/graphics person. the live stream would be what we the commentators see. I remember Veronica saying the graphics were wrong on the 86o hand the same way she said they were off on the 88 hand. Unfortunately, there is no live chat available on the 86o stream. I might try asking Veronica what she remembers from that hand regarding the graphics change and if she found out from Justin in yt live chat.

When the graphics misread don't they normally (on non cheating streams) misread for everybody.

Its impossible to misread, its just reading some 1s and 0s on a card, like a barcode. It is only possible that the registered number associated to the card is incorrect, but would continue to misread unless fixed. It would be great if you could reproduce this hand as there could be more ****ery going on here.

It's more likely that it's reading the wrong card than that it's misreading. When are the cards read? When they are dealt? Or when they are in front of the players?

Just in joeys stream last night we saw the flop contain an ace of spades and a player had an ace of spades. It wasnt until the river that the graphics were fixed...

The public pressure over this is just going to keep increasing if Stones doesn't take responsibility and act. That plus if Postle has the balls to show his face and play, he knows he'll be under a microscope and have to play straight, and then we'll see him fall on his face and his impossible wr and other stats will plummet, making him look even more guilty. If Postle hides and doesn't play, that always says something, so either way he's in a pretty hard to escape corner IMO.
If it's text messages, those are stored by the carrier. If it's DMs through an app, those are stored by the app. Law enforcement are just sending subpoenas, not performing techno-voodoo. (yes digital forensics are a thing but you're talking about scenarios where they do not have access to the device used)

If Postle was smart enough to use a messenger with end-to-end encryption such as Telegram, then there are no records to subpoena. You'd assume he would be, but then again nobody ever expects to get caught, and I would not be surprised if there are incriminating records.

I don’t know anything about RFID so someone correct me if I’m wrong. To my knowledge the reason for this is the board and player both having jack of diamonds can happen because the card could go over the scanner for the flop and the players hole cards as the dealer deals. The card being shown as a different card cannot happen under any circumstances.

Random thought is it possible he got the twitch stream key and watched from the dashboard on his phone? Any streamers know if that would show no delayed stream?

So it has been said Justin was commentating on the live stream, not the delayed stream like some other productions do?

That would be easy to cheat with an earpiece and speak-to-text..

Ooo I’m kind of annoyed I didn’t think of this. I have streamed for over 2k hours and this didn’t cross my mind.

Correct if he’s in the dashboard he can watch it live with out the delay

which means it doesnt even need to be anyone at the building to help him right? he can just give the details to his buddy at home whos whatsapping him constantly or using the cap device.

He was in production before so its likely he knows the details

he would have the twitch key or what ever the OBS Studio key is...

Essentially if you figured out someones key, you could watch anytime, kinda like that streamer who put his URL up for a second...

If he is setting up the stream he probably even generated the key.

Exactly. If he has twitch key no one would need to relay anything to him if he himself is watching that feed. If someone else is watching at home then they could be sending him info via his skull thing or phone text if he was afraid to watch it on his phone himself


Also maybe this is going mainstream. Ryen Rusillo just tweeted Haralbob and Joey how fascinating it was to watch this unfold. So who knows
