With slack and Reddit and Discords and different training sites having their own forums, a lot of us went our own separate ways.

But when something like this happens, this is the logical hub. It's like lighting the fires of Gondor. Nothing unites the poker community like a hatred of cheaters, especially a story this insane.

It's kind of nostalgic.

I made the spreadsheet of his win/loss for all of 2019 that Joey/Doug have been showing on their videos - I've watched many of his hands.

I know it's an unusual play for him. But if you know you're up against 2 AK's and are likely to run it twice, it's not so crazy.

Thank you

Sincerely,
Everyone

Unfortunately most of those new posts are from new readers who haven't read the thread from the start and are just thinking their ideas are new ones. E.g the bone headphones. 90% of what is being posted now is old news. I had read the whole thread, came back tonight after playing golf today and was confronted by so many pages I just gave in reading them as it was just the same stuff mostly.

Couple other weird ones too, I think 95o was another, i don’t think he can see them a lot of times but some hands I think it’s almost impossible to play if he doesn’t know, who knows tho, at this point it’s just a ton of speculation

He gambles here at 2:49:00 (no keys on table)

Calls $600 on a turned flush draw

Then he has a good chuckle at the guy laying a trap thinking that a nit like him would consider even for a second bluffing an Ace

Pike Mostle

I believe he just know's current cards and/or crude signals that indicate ahead/behind currently.
In one of the top 5 most shady hands....he calls multiple bets pre 3 handed (one opponent short and all in pre) with 95 off oop... flop is 9 J x and he immediately open jams POT to push out the only remaining player holding AQ (live but not much equity). There are other spots like this as well. If he knew the run outs...he'd be much more inclined to play check tanky/trappy which would both help him to win more $ and appear more soul-ready God-like.

edit: add to the fact that knowing current cards + future run out adds additional complexity to the intercepting, organizing, and communicating the data back to the villain. Let's pretend he has no visuals and only audio (alleged hat stuffing device) or buzzer on body (old school style). That would start to become too many signals to interpret while still playing the game and putting at least some sort of acting job out.

In all serious though it is good to see the community come together against a cheater.

If there is undeniable proof found, will this go to a court or be settled at Stones do you guys think? What are the blinds?

When is it appropriate to reach out to Admo and get a Mike Postle is a scammer and a thief . Com going? He got Fubster his money back from BayAreaBeast so maybe he can shape these asshats into some restitution especially to the family of that poor guy who was sick with cancer

I get that. My point is if he was using his keys to see future streets he would be able to do that even with JFK away. That leads me to believe he either doesn't use that technology or he started using it after JFK came back from Vegas.

I have a great deal of empathy for these views. This thread is not about Suzzer and his understanding (or lack thereof) of technology that could be used to cheat at poker. Indeed, as SimpleRick points out, a great deal discussion/debunking has already taken place in this thread.

Anybody who is really interested in that aspect of this blossoming scandal should take some time and read/skim the thread. It is not fair to the other members to constantly bring up "old" ideas that have been fully discussed in the prior 4 days this thread has been at the top of the NVG forum page.

As is true in virtually all threads and all interactions with a large number of people, it is important to have a "reasonable" ratio of talking to listening (posting to reading others' past/current posts).

I hope this message suffices, but I will also mention (though mods are not supposed to encourage this) that 2+2 does have an "Ignore" feature if you want to have the software automatically hide posts from anyone you find particularly annoying.

Let's try to all get along!

What's the story with that one he lost? Why is he jamming J8s on A87, if the opponents have AJ and a set of sevens, so he has no fold equity? Presumably he had a flush draw that could stack the pair of them.... but didn't get there.
Does someone have a link to that hand? I'd love to see his actions and reactions if it's on video.

In one hand he also slow plays AA on the flop in a 4 bet pot only to have his opponent hit runner runner flush. Mike makes the hero laydown on the river of course but wouldn't slow play if he knew the runout. I don't know if keys were on the table or not.

Maybe jfk got it in Vegas?

I am the guy that hero called Postle with JJ when he had 72. Immediately following the stream Postle came up to me and told me that wouldn't happen again and followed up with an open invitation to play whenever I would like.(In a non-threatening manner, but still implying he wanted a rematch)

During the WSOP I ran into Justin on break and was asked when I would be going back to stones to play, and that Mike really enjoyed my game. I asked when a good time would be and was told the games would be great after the series ended.

Before this scandal came out I invited Postle to come to LA to play in a LATB lineup that I was hosting on November 7th to see if/how he would play away from Stones Live. Him and I have chatted several times over the last couple days but I feel with how incriminating everything seems, and the prospect of him playing LATB slim to none, I will share the messages. It is unfortunate that this has happened to Stones because it really is a wonderful room and is one of the best atmospheres to play poker in. It is also unfortunate that those I am acquaintances with are under the microscope for simply commentating the games postle played in. I understand the reasoning behind why people are suspicious but Chris, Veronica and Kasey are all wonderful people.

doesnt look like any keys on the table. lighting is poor and there is something on the rail but i dont think its keys.

In the 95 jam vs AQ hand, I see no key fob or head touching, so I dont think he has the headset there. It's also the hand where the 7 scares him, which it wouldnt if knowing runout. It's ALSO a quite old session (10 months ago), and headset appears later on in the year.

The cheating may have evolved, or it was an adaption for the summer when Justin went away to still have a good edge

edit:
Yes, it seems like a newer addition to the arsenal!

edit2: I mean it adds up PERFECTLY - the bone conductive headphones and the keyfob which registers the cards and sends an audio transmission of what they are
I wasn't a believer in the keyfob being relevant either. And I didn't think he knew runouts. But it checks out now if you ask me... wow

FTOP wins again

Do you really think he would get some key camera to work from this angle? He plays like +90% of time at that seat.


No, because that isn't what he is doing.

"Do you really think he would get some key camera to work from this angle?"

I wouldn't be so quick to discredit it. hes a spineless greedy pussy who isnt the smartest guy in the world.

He wins $11k in this game and Justin is commenting

OK first time chiming in here.

I've gone thru 2018 in chronological order in the Stones YT page. Appears to me from skimming every episode he appeared on in 2018, that he first starts super using on the August 22nd 2018 ($5/$5 No Limit Hold'em with Brent and Scott) episode.

All of the previous 12 episodes (appears his first 2018 appearance is Feb 21) that he is in before the Aug 22 2018 episode, I didn't see any super-using evidence, the phone (and keys) are often out on full display during hands/action, hands seem played reasonably, he's actually decent. Does run well often, but nothing overtly suspicious.

Then on the August 22nd 2018 episode, I see definite weirdness, a very weird play where he goes nuts with T2s, very obviously looks down in his lap before making a questionable/suspicious play, phone is nowhere to be seen, etc.

Here are the twelve links to the 12 appearance in 2018 that looked fine to me, then the link to where I think is the first stream that he super uses (August 22nd 2018 ($5/$5 No Limit Hold'em with Brent and Scott):

================================================== =====
** 12 appearances in 2018 that seem fine / normal / non-superusing (TBF I skimmed thru hands pretty quickly looking for absence of phone on table, obvious crotch glances, or suspicious hand situations/plays, so it's possible I missed something before August 22nd episode)**

================================================== =====

and..... here's the Aug 22 2018 episode where things start to get weird, phone out of sight etc, and first time I see the quick crotch-gazes disguised as looking at cards, immediately preceding a pretty suicidal (cold 3-bet jam on flop) play with bottom pair against two opponents that you can only make if you are certain they both have broadway hands that whiffed on the 8 high flop..., especially considering the 2-bettor was fairly committed with the 2 bet sizing and his fairly shallow stack depth (meaning you can only jam on him if you are certain it's a bluff/opponent has nothing, but it's still crazy because of the stack to pot ratio, and the fact that Mike has yet to commit any post-flop bets before his suicide play). Anyway so here you go:

Jesus.....that is really bad. Postle's keys look like this?

Fantastic work Momentaryblip
