That is true, but I don't think that he used the alleged card-reading device (hidden in his key fob on the rail) in every session.

Don't remember what stream it was from. I would think even if JFK was away he would still be able to use his keys to read what cards are coming though if that's what he's doing.

I think that was an informed gamble. If you know you're up against AK and AK, and you know your opponents are likely to run it twice, you only have to hit on one board to profit. 54o has 41% equity against AK and AK. A gamble for sure, but +EV.

I like this thread because we started conjecturing if he was cheating or not, then after some posts/new info we were sure.

Then we wondered how he was cheating and we discovered he knew the holecards from his opponents so he could play perfectly against them.

Then we wondered if he got some inside help and we discovered that this guy Justin was on it.

Now we are unveiling the fact that he prolly also knew the community cards in advance.

Next thing we know he reads the future, like a prophet.

Nice detective work, 2p2.

I don't know much about RFID or Stones setup. But i know a lot about IT security and computers - which seem to be able to perform impossible magic based on some of the posts here.

Yeah man, this thread is about Mike Postle, not educating you on 2019 technology. There's absolutely no reason for you to make 50+ posts in this thread.

No worries. Its pretty easy actually. If you're interested, the stream software stones uses is videopokertable.net software and they have a feature called multigfx. Look it up and you'll see how it happens.

Per the website, the system also keeps full hand histories which can be downloaded. So imagine now how much Stones REALLY ****ed up the first investigation - they didn’t even need to assemble excel grids of sessions, money won, etc.

I'm pretty sure that this is fairly simple style of cheating they are using. Someone is giving him non-delayed stream info to phone/headphones.

Yes doubts are definitely encouraged, I mean why would you need more than holecards? It's just stupid. The more complex the system, the easier it is to get caught. But then again, its Mike's sheer arrogance that allowed us to catch him in the first place, so maybe he is really just that dumb. But I also think it fits well enough to examine hands to see if it holds or falls apart.

I'd agree this does explain the key fob.

Keys are on the rail during the Moneymaker 45 v AK AK hand

would also be another reason why the tanks are so long.

Holy ****ing ****.

The second this came out all card RFID systems should have gone in the trash.

Somewhere there is a cheater who hates Mike Postle for being a terrible cheat and putting the spotlight on all the possible cheating methods.

I don't buy the idea that every time Mike presses his hat closer to his head, that all he's doing is finding out if the runout is going to be favorable.

That's just too nitty

I think some posters looking at *every* way of cheating is distracting us from the established consensus about Mike somehow seeing a live RFID feed, via his phone and/or something in his hat.

Nothing I've seen in any of the videos by Joey etc needs us to stretch to him seeing future turn/river cards. He can basically play out any hand simply by knowing his opponents hole cards pre&post flop, then adapting (shoving or backing off) if the turn/river change his own chances

Also I didn't watch every youtube yet. There's a freaking ton of them. As soon as Locust posted it I watched and just saw the key fob thing - mind blown to smithereens. I was totally wrong about that.

Also it's probably not always accurate which could explain some of his less than god mode on runouts. And he's not in the right seat etc.

Whenever JFK is away, he isn't able/doesn't superuse. Veronica made a twitter post that Mike plays way less and either looses or wins small when JFK is away. Joey's 3rd stream covers this.

He also does the hat pressing thing often after the river as well.

Jamming Kx there makes no sense, unless you know QT will hit if he bets smaller....
