he plays this session just like an average live poker whale.

he doesnt make any light multiway moves, his hat is not stuffed with something on the side, very funny.

Are you trolling or are you a friend of Mike ?

Dumb question - there any reason why the booth needs to see the cards in real time? Put them on a 5 minute delay or something.

If that's not enough time for them to create the graphics or w/e, then just add 5 minutes to the total time delay.

Great thanks for posting this. I missed the tweet from August 7th. I just skimmed through the Aug 7 stream and did not look like he was superusing that night. He does book a 4600 win but there was a $10 straddle most of the night and everyone was pretty deep. Hit a 6 outer in a bomb pot to cooler his opponent once and just made some hands in some other pretty big pots. Nothing too out of the ordinary. Never tried to steal pots when no one had anything,etc.

So far we have the following games that Mike played that we was not superusing during:
6/1
6/3
6/15
6/17
7/8
7/22 Maybe? not sure about this one
7/24 Only one where Justin was at the casino
8/3
8/7

As mentioned, Justin was in Vegas for the first 5 and Australia for the last two. His total profit for these 8 sessions was ~$800. I think it's important to get a full these of these sessions to make sure Mike/Justin don't use any hands from these sessions in their defense.

Also you can see his left hand and he's not staring at his crotch.

This is something that you can actually test. You can simply compare the stats from when JFK is in town to not and see if there is a statistically significant difference.

There are some other fancy things that could be done to bolster the basic comparison.

No clue. This sort of thing happens all the time. Go watch some episodes of American Greed. There are 176 episodes over 13 seasons and counting which deal with 1 or 2 cases per episode.

Troll at this point. I tried to be reasonable with him but let’s just move on with more important matters. Appreciate the support though.

from what I understand ITT, booth not really part of this.

Cards on these live streams have RFID transmitters in them.

An RFID receiver could be concealed on body . At that point you would know other players cards. That data could easily be transmitted to a simple app on a phone.

Not sure how you would handle the proximity though. Perhaps some sort of telescopics could be built into receiver. I havent looked at hands, Are most suspicious moves always against players close to him?

But actually now that I think about. Data from RFID receivers on table has to be transmitted to booth. If thats done via WIFI, then voila. easy to hack. If wired, then back to proximity problem of RFID reciever on body.

as I think one more time....if one were colluding with tech person on production staff then many other ways to get real time card data to someone without any human involved during the hand.

******************************

Any local players have any info on RFID table system they use . Where did they get it? Who runs it?

The booth doesnt see them in real time. At least no the commentary booth. Sounds like there may be a secure RFID room with a graphics guy who sees them in near real time?

Hi everyone. Don't focus on the State of California. They are unlikely to provide justice. It's a one party state full of corruption at every level. Make your complaints to the FBI directly, and the DoJ can sort this out. There is a lot of crossover with ACR in this matter. There might be an existing federal investigation already that we don't know about.

The FBI has raided card clubs already in the last few years over CTRs and other organized crime. This is right up their alley. It will be trivial to get phone records to nail these guys. There is enough for a warrant already. However, a state judge is going to be confused, and not likely convinced. A warrant to supplement and existing investigation would go down much easier at the federal level.

Seems like a pretty smart idea. You can even get some stats from some other good players for comparison. Pull up a few sessions of doug polk playing the micros. One of the top players with millions of winnings only gets his bluffs through 60% (or whatever) of the time vs less experienced players , and this is normal. Now, Mike's bluffs work with 99% accuracy. Seems highly improbable.

Seems like they need to scramble each RFID with a key that comes with the deck.

So say a case of cards gets one key. Before play starts they open a new case and some IT guy enters the key into the server that tracks the cards.

Or just go back to cameras.

Edit: well I guess once you figure out the encrypted signature of each card in the case then you know it for the rest of that case. Hmmm.

Ok each deck has a different key. The case comes with a USB thumb drive that has keys for all the decks.

The dealer (at least on LATB, but I think Stones as well) has an ear piece that is connected to the tech booth. You will see from time to time the dealer asking a player to put their cards over the RFID reader since they weren't picked up the first time. I've watch a lot more LATB than Stones, and I know I've seen LATB dealers ask players to do this.

I've also seen a few instances of dealers asking how much is being added on to a stack so the tech can update stacks. Not sure if this comes from the tech or simply just the dealer letting the table know what is in play, but it's happened.

Wonder how our man Justin's pro tip has been working out for him the past couple of days?

ur welcome

You should see his work in the new politics forum. Except there's about 8 clones of him as well. It's fun.

Sorry looks like I missed the stream on 7/31. I originally assumed Justin was in town and Postle was superusing since he won 9k, but it appears Justin actually left for Australia on 7/29 (per his vlog). Will look at this stream more closely, but based on my initial review it appears he was not superusing this night. He won a 4 way all in with a flopped flush and just ran super hot. Scroll to 2:30:00 of the video where he folds the best hand on the river to a 1/3 pot bet.

I did the same thing previously (looking at that stream) (didn't post about it) and basically had the same opinion as you: That Postle just god-runs (actually god-runs, not cheater-god runs) that session. Dude just hits everything every hand, basically

I'm not convinced. I watched a couple videos and saw some of the hands. Some of his mannerisms make it seem like something fishy is going on. But there is no damning evidence. Unless they catch him with a device on him or catch him with an app on his phone or something there is not proof. Or someone comes forward and admits to be an accomplice(also not 100% reliable evidence).

If he would have folded that A high flush against the straight flush or if he would have folded the 88 full house against the 1010 full house I would have been convinced but he doesn't. He calls off when he "knows" he's beat. Maybe that's to avoid detection idk. If he suspects his opponent has a strong hand in either of those situations a flat call is reasonable. Those plays aren't that out of the ordinary. In the A high flush vs straight flush the board is paired. Opponent could reasonably have all full houses or even quads in that spot, it's not unreasonable to just call. Also in the 1010 vs 88 hand a call isn't that unreasonable as well. If he suspects his opponent has a strong hand on the river and by raising his opponent is either going to fold or raise with a better hand, then why would he raise the river?

anyway... Not convinced.

Would've taken players at that casino at least another three years to figure out something was off if their cheating methods didn't need a stream.

The 54o hand is cited as the main example and it's actually the least suspicious one to me as players with his stats call big allins with that type of hand all the time in my experience. (it's the moneymaker winning wsop hand so it easily could've been a pure trolling thought process) Hopefully that tilted the hell out of him.

I like the hand where there's three people who see flop: K-8-4 , two hears.... Mike has AK. And one guy goes all in for $825. Pot is 1.4k - Mike only has to call off $665 with TPTK on a relatively harmless board that has a flush draw. Mike also has $4.3k behind. And he folds! LoL - so suspect. Only reason he folded he knew, meaning his phone showed, the other guy had a set. And another a flush draw and he was basically drawing dead. But if you didn't know, it's an insta-call given the circumstances.

I sure hope something comes of this, otherwise this thread is horribly embarrassing.

Accusing randoms as somehow being involved for having a different opinions to the mob is literally how witch hunts work.

Obviously cheating.. Good thing he isn't smart.

So many river spots where he raises/leads or in some cases 3 and 4bets air and gets miraculous folds in spots _nobody_ bluffs.
