I'm glad you mentioned this - I actually just dug up two of those posts and was about to ask you why the change of heart. You were adamant at the time that there was nothing showing such an ability - that all could be explained by simply knowing other players' hold cards. But...I know this thread moves quickly, and there's always new evidence being posted. Did new evidence change your mind, or is it just a rethink of your earlier position?

Yeah probably. But on ESPN when they screw up a hole card and then fix it, they don't go back and fix the messed up part of the feed. That to me says they're creating a single stream stitched together from graphics and bouncing between cameras - and maybe for some reason it's hard to go back and fix graphics after the stream is saved.

The problem is those cards would need to be specially marked. The device can't read normal cards. It works off a camera that reads the edge of the cards - not RFID. So you'd have to sneak in specially marked cards - but also with the RFID to work with the readers. Seems like a tall order.

Running it twice would actually make it less likely to run really well. Though it would also be weirder to run it twice when you know the first runout (and that you win it, as he seems to have mostly done). Unless you know both runouts, but that'd be cumbersome to listen to and keep track off etc.

I don't know tbh, I really don't. Maybe it's not important in the end if he knows the runouts or not, or exactly what the headphones are for (runouts or holecards)... It's of lesser importance to other issues (his victims getting justice, him and his accomplices going down)

This post made me rethink it all: https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/s...postcount=2265
I don't know what to think about it at this point. And again, maybe it doesn't even matter if that's what it is or not. It is bothersome how he wins so many all ins (could be just rungood, as I chalked it up to before I veered off on this tangent theory)

MP exaggerates his face expression dramatically. Every time he gets even the most timid compliment his eyes roll off to the side and he grins like it's too much and he's embarrassed. Best part

6:25

"Yeah I-I wasn't quite sure what they have --- of [course] -- I - uhh just - [I] the way *laughs and huffs twice* - sometimes the way someone looks at me, or the way they check, or the way they grab chips, whatever they do it's just one of those things where I felt like Dave can't call."

Justin seems like a not too bright fellow.

I like this theory but what about the hand where the card was changed in real time?

The legal team is headed up by a former attorney of Stones owner, Ryan Stone. Not a very independent investigation IMO.

While it's clear either GOD or cheater, this James Bond **** appears to rely on marked cards.

I truly do not believe marked cards were being used at Stones.

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.
The majority believe he has access to holecards, no one really, including myself, believed he had access to future community cards. You don't really need them to win as holecards themselves gives you such an advantage. its just a theory that fits into why he always has his keys on the table and why he would need a device in his had when he has the holecards on his phone already

He would need JFK to drop the setup of marked cards on the table for the game. That does raise a good point that he would not need JFK to tap into a twitch stream since he would already have the key to access the stream, so he could continue superusing without him. Maybe they just agreed to not superuse when JFK was away? Also possible he started using the technology more recently, I guess we can only examine the hands for knowing community card knowledge when his keys are on the table?

Good point, I remember this hand but hard to dive deep without the actual hand in question to review. Either the theory is incorrect, he wasn't using the tech at the time or he didn't think he could get a fold.

No, because that isn't what he is doing.
its not a key camera. it reads cards marked on the sides of the cards. can be done with the phone or an accompanying keylike device purchasable by anyone from china. im not 100% convinced he is using this tech either, but its worth keeping an eye out for it bc it ties up a lot of loose ends.

According to Berkey and Feldman the only way this could occur is if the cards themselves were assigned incongruous codes. So in principle we can go back over all the footage for that night and check whether the 8 or 9 appeared in any video footage from that night. If those cards appear on the board, we can check if they are misread on the graphics. Since the 8 appears on average in 5 out of 52 flop/turn/rivers, it shouldn't take more than 10 showdown hands to find that card. Same for the 9. One of those cards should appear on the flop/turn/river within 5 showdown hands. If Stones is using two decks, we would have to skip over every other showdown hand from the 86o hand. That could take twice the time, but still we shouldn't have to check more than 10 showdown hands.
good point, here is the hand in question

No keys, no phones reading cards or any other James Bond-esque ****.
yea its definitely a crazy theory

yea this is where I am at now. it just fits so well, and ties up all the loose ends that couldn't be completely explained. just gona keep an eye out for it i guess and make sure were not married to the idea just bc it fits well.

I think the commentators HIGHLY suspected he was cheating, but COULDN'T come right out and SAY it, so they went to the OPPOSITE end of the spectrum to get him caught, namely, the memes advertising his 'superpowers.' This got MORE attention on him, and when they felt they had ENOUGH attention, Veronica(?) came out and made the accusations for the 2nd time, and now it has gotten real attention..... I applaud her and the work Joe I have done.

I think they've been using a combined strategy using multiple methods - this would explain the hat, the phone, the keys.

Using the multigfx feature - anyone can access the stream w/ the right information.

I'm told Justin sat in the back of the room on a regular basis watching the stream on his phone and talking into a microphone on a consistent basis by former employees of Stones.

As noted earlier - the keys are used as a reader which transmit information assuming the deck in play is marked and can identify future cards.

If this was something where someone was simply feeding him in real time hole card information - it wouldn't explain other things and he would have been caught sooner.


It was a combination of the hat, keys, marked cards, stream access.

This explains how he knew the perfect spots to take hands down so often and when not to. It also explains why he would float so often w/ random weak hands (part image/part balance/part to see what might come)

It seems as if he had access to future cards not all the time - maybe they couldn't get a deck in play on those sessions. Check the tape and check where the decks came from.

THE REASON WHY THIS WORKED IS BECAUSE THEY MIXED UP THEIR STRAT

They've been gaslighting their community to make them think Postle is a ****ing GOD the entire time. Employees asked for an investigation and Mike was never asked, they were ignored and called LIARS.

In the past he's talked about how when he had 45o and got it in against AK and AK it was cause he said he was gonna Moneymaker the Moneymaker. (I guess 45o is a hand that MoneyMaker is known for in some capacity). When he had 49o and made a miraculous play, he referenced the 49ers football team. So with this T2 hand I can only imagine he channeled the likes of Doyle Brunson.

He does not know run outs. He gets it all in with 54os vs AK vs AK for 3k and loses the first run out.

I said it earlier in this thread but i think now more than ever it needs to be looked into. Just look at how greedy they are and flaunting it they clearly are convinced they are ging to ge away with it. I feel like they did it for a while just with mike realized that wow this is working and probably got others in on it. If your greedy to have this clown winning at this win rate why not add another or even 2 more players. I was happy when doug said it on stream but i think we need to be looking at others who are winning. Even look at some of the people who heroed mike super late knowing that it looks good mike losing a pot and the money stays in the team. I just feel like if these guys are this greedy why would they stop with just mike?

More and more people are speculating how he could have cheated without someone on this inside. I feel like we should looking at anyone whos a mega crusher with rfid in play because this could be happening in other games where they aren't as greedy. Imagine if mike didnt have the iq of a grapefruit? He could have just looked in the big pots. After watching hours of vids i doubt mike could break even in the game without cheating. I don't want to say sky is falling but we may want to look around not only in this game but other games.

Either way awesome job mike (everyone knows your watching this thread) way to put a stain on poker and keep people from joining for fear. Even today i hear random people saying all online is rigged and tell me to look up potripper.

I had to make an account just to put that out there but while I'm here. I've seen enough to be sure this guy is a cheating rat. I hope Postle and anyone else involved get what they deserve.

As far as I know I'm the first one who pointed out the James Bond thing relies on marked cards - which I can see where people missed because he kind of just barely mentions it in the video.

Exactly what have you contributed?

Honestly, if you think this sort of thing is James Bond-esque **** in 2019 then you are a sucker looking to be taken advantage of. This sort of thing is not that fantastical. There has been similar technology used by cheaters for years. Of course to pull it off one needs an inside man (check) and probably a seat close to the deck (check).

We really need to stop looking for more postle hands and look for whoever else may be cheating. We are all in agreement hes definitely cheating but if we focus all out time on him if theres others in the game cheating we don't want them to get away with it.
