On top of being a cheat, he’s a delusional narcissist. Guy claims to be an elite level crusher and can barely walk through a hand history discussion without coming off as a clueless fish.

Seems he’s gonna be playing the I have a daughter card a lot too for pity points.

Lol.
Mike conviently didn’t pay taxes on his online poker winnings.
And yeah too bad results aren’t available anymore.
I doubt you would just win 2 mil and just lose your graph, not even a screen shot.

I'm reposting the evidence I discovered about the "malfunctioning" RFID readers. It's not just the 9 of spades that was registering properly, but ALL the 9s in the deck were registering properly throughout the stream. Joey asked me to send him this info on tonight's stream, so I'm reposting here in case he sees it.

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.

The stream is essential to the con because it's the only way you'd get players to voluntarily comply with revealing their cards to a RFID reader specified for their spot. I'd imagine Stones has you sign some kind of agreement when you play at a streaming table- love to see what that language that actually includes.

There's a ton of circumstantial evidence going against him, unfortunately no direct evidence as of yet. Hopefully the investigation team can come up with something.

Why do you keep posting this? Why do you think he's innocent at this point?

Direct evidence is going to require a subpoena to go through his phone/computer/house.

So...Mike Postle would have crushed the Durrrr challenge but was too busy around the Tunica, MS nosebleeds?

Have you seen his daughter's closet? That 2 million he won online went straight to her wardrobe.

Yes exactly. It's clear Postle lied about his hole cards and asked production staff to change graphics because he knew he would look guilty.

Lol at you, because it is a real possibility that was only introduced seriously about two hours ago. He may indeed be in on it, but if he is innocent, and I would have to bet on innocence if I had to bet, then he is indeed quite unlucky and unfortunate, even assuming that he was negligent in many ways. It's a bad beat for him in every way. You almost have to hope that he is guilty so you don't feel too bad for him.

This is the first time someone has pulled off a scam using RFID at a casino in poker AFAIK. Everyone is of course going to be dumbfounded and presume innocence. Obviously an independent, competent third party investigation should occur. I would really like to know what went on in the first so called "investigation".

Uh...

1 - Did you check his Twitter?

2 - It's basically impossible for anyone promoting poker games for a living with an obvious cheater for years not to realize what's going on or at least not to have/show the slightest distrust.

There's cameras everywhere in a casino. Access to this footage should be able to reveal that there's always a suspicious individual hanging around feeding him hole card information. I think it is possible, however, that Mike was able to single-highhandedly rig the system to read-out, or text, the information from the RFID to himself directly.

wonder if the keys on the table he could read cards coming off but he didn't use it for all sessions. Further explains some hands to me anyway.

also lol at "hey I think you're cheating" response with a three page report of absolutely irrelevant points. (and who knows if any of that is even true)

edit--in before he always valets at this casino yet has keys at the table

But why would Postle suddenly become aware this ridiculous play would make him look guilty after he played the hand. If he was that aware he wouldn't cheat everyone every hand. Therefor I assume someone else is aware of how bad it looks and not Postle himself.
