That's probably why Mike wasn't always in the #2 seat. I would be curious to see how often he was in the #2 seat the last 6 months. I imagine he started to play more in the #2 seat as he became a bigger star and then that just became his seat for unknown yet reasons.
Stones is the kind of place where, if you know a guy who will be playing likes that seat, you leave it open. It's really that kind of local room.

This just feels so gross. Could you imagine if a winning player did this say at 10-20 and only used the info for big pots. If making right hero call/fold 2-3 times could be a huge 25k+ swing. Mike was so greedy or it never would have been caught. I think if they had more viewers people would have discovered it sooner.
100% it is time to look at how lineups developed over the course of the alleged actions

I think the pattern of how he treats his hat during big decisions must be further looked at. It's too obvious of a pattern to ignore.

Has Stones disclosed the third party investigator that they speak of?

They should.

There is also one more name to look at.

The one who was directly in charge of the graphics and game integrity.

Another person who was also out of town for the WSOP (dates unknown)

Coincidence......?
Do we know Taylor's whereabouts during Justin's time in Vegas this summer?

I'd be curious what kind of car he has and what key fob he has. Theres no shot he would think to match the brand with his car.
He drives a brand new Infinity (not sure of the model), it was discussed during one of his on stream interviews.

Really everyone involved in production should be sat down and interviewed. Even the players at the table should be asked questions about what they think is going on and any other suspicious activity they noticed. I think any proper investigating team would do this. I'm worried that unless an independent team comes in this time, there won't be thorough work put in.

I'm sure they meant, independent from Stones perspective, that is, not done by the poker room manager for instance. It's a good thing. The owner will be most concerned with profit and therefore reputation and I suspect he will be trying to crucify people for this and make it public to counter the current horrible press.

My question is how well do the bone conducting headphones work. By that I mean do they have to be in the perfect position to get coherent sound out of them? Does the thickness of the hat/person's hair affect sound quality? Is he simply adjusting his hat/pushing the headphones down to get better sound?

The Keys

Mike tweeted this pic on the 6th August 19



On the 6th April, he was in this interview. At 1hr 55 he talks about his brand new Infiniti, which is his first new car ever.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09jdsX8vkMI

Now those keys don't look like the fob for a high end brand?

They look pretty cheap. And also they look fresh, nothing at all has worn off the button icons.

Infiniti 2019 key fobs look like this.

The low people on the ladder of scamming are easiest to flip and most happy to do it. The threat of 20 years for their involvement of 25 or 50 grand usually does the trick.

Holy **** I love this thread, 2p2 is up there with 4chan with its investigative work. Keep it up and this will be solved before the independent investigation. I am triangulating his position now.

It's more like classic gaslighting. Just constantly talk about how he is such a great poker player over and over again and people will believe it and won't question it. Apparently very very effective. The people throwing up the memes didn't even have to be in on it and/or were probably gaslighted themselves into believing he is a great poker player.

Who was in charge of the show?
Who promoted the show the most?
Who marketed Postle as an actual GOD?
Who's idea was it to create Postle as a superstar after he said about 25325 times he was never in poker for the spotlight?

All of these should have some logical explanation.


Compare behaviors of various streams, compare who was working, compare play style, compare as many questions above.

I know Taylors name was dropped during the 86o hand during the graphics change, when analyzing this hand I googled and found a Stones dealer named Taylor Smith. What proof is there that hes also on the graphics team? If he is, than it definitely sounds like hes in on it.

It appears to me that receiving the information on a cell phone or hearing device in the hat is something that can be easily arranged. With the hearing devices we see coaches etc. getting information using them from reasonably short distances weekly in sporting events. So this part is easy to understand.

I am curious about thoughts on the sender. Did they physically send the real time information via text or speech or...? Did they have they have the privacy to do so? Or was it an automated thng?

Also thinking the sender could have been giving verbal and/or texted commands only with the sender actually running the game with instructions like check, call, raise $250, go all in etc. Easy game.
