^ This 84h hand is probably the most damning evidence I've seen so far.

How does this Mickey Mouse operation screw up graphics so much??

$10 bet on the river.... wtf. Veronika is the only announcer with a clue about poker. Everyone else on their stream just blows smoke up Postle's ass.

It is a really nice find, hopefully someone can get a good zoom in on it.

If you watch the defcon videos where the fake phone/cheat device is demonstrated, the whole set up is very professional. The homepage on it looks exceptionally good and realistic.

kinda my theory as to why Mike was so blatant about this. he's still an idiot for getting himself in spots that are only marginally +EV even when you do know everyone's cards, but whatever. makes me wonder if a scheme like this at a 10/20 game could easily clear 100k/year with no one the wiser. given how long it took to catch a dude who was running at "11 consecutive powerballs" level I assume it would be very possible

Looking to see if anyone sees defcon

If he had help, then it's who wants a deal?

In his defense, I have found poker rooms where the play is so bad, I can walk all over the room with a weird style and felt confident I could do so most weeks. Now I would never call 54 off even with AK x2 as opponents I think, but the Moneymaker thing? Maybe he's so confident he can make it back he decided to play the hand for the reason he claims.

What does the law say about if he would be considered a public figure merely because of his local notoriety -- before Joey outed him. It's hard to get sued for slandering public figures but private parties the standard is much lower. Joey and co. should inform themselves about the law in this area.

My guess is that what he was seeing on his phone wasn't so dissimilar from watching the stream itself.

It's been widely circulated that it was popular amongst players in the live stream to be watching the delayed version whilst playing.

This is what I have gathered from how the signal chain works (might be completely wrong):

1. RFID scans cards at table

2. Table sends data to server via wifi access point

3. Server recognises the table number and stores the RFID data

4. Software (videopokertable.net) takes this data and overlays a graphic on a live video feed in real time.

5. After a delay (30 min) this video feed with overlayed graphic gets sent to the commentators and streamed on the web.

There are two points in this chain where his phone could be receiving data:

between 3 and 4 or between 4 and 5.

I believe that between 4-5 is more likely. The stream has been assembled by the software into a format that can be sent easily to a device i.e a mobile. To the other players it looks like he is doing what everyone else is doing and watching the delayed stream. If you see a guy looking at a screen of code, that's suspicious, but watching a poker live stream at a live stream table? Not so much...

That's the defense of one hand though. The 84s, 67o bomb pot hand, 86, etc, etc, etc. that just aren't justifiable with any reasoning by a winning poker player.

Reposting evidence with screenshots that prove that a member of production staff falsified graphics in the 86o vs 96s hand to give Postle the nuts on the river. All nines in the deck were being properly read by the RFID sensors -- therefore, it is impossible that Postle could have had the nut straight on the 3T75J board, as was claimed.

I think it is very important to investigate this further, as this is one of the main pieces of evidence which implicates the existence of an inside associate to the cheating.

Seems a strong possibility. The defcon device cheats differently in that it uses a reader in the phone (or possibly Mike's keys) to know the deck/what cards are coming/who is going to win the hand. As you say it is also possible he was getting hole card info via the RFID feed/stream in some way. From what I have seen there is speculation he was cheating both ways.

He's definitely listening to something hidden in his cap during some cheat streams.

What I find interesting and I think needs more discussion is the fact he constantly seems to need money. Despite only playing in a game he crushed for 6 figures in less than 2 years. here is a good friend of his, who originally was attacking Veronica, coming to terms with the truth:




Wins 2 million, crushes poker for 16 years, still needs to borrow money and get staked consistently. Obviously most poker pros are the nut low with money management and not degening, but still crazy.

Maybe he is in massive debt to someone and needs to pay them back and was desperate for an edge in a game he was no longer beating with his crazy style?

It's not, because he can't.

Seriously the guy doesn't seem that bright. I know some people who didn't go to college that used to crush games on PS/PP/FT.

If he could talk through some of his decisions then I'd give him some kind of benefit of the doubt but everything I've seen of him discussing his play is "LOL This guy told me to play this particular hand to get back at him for 2 months ago"and it just so happens to be a perfect play.

Love the work put into this

Good work! That is very good evidence!

If Stones management had any stones, a scene like this would have played out in the last few days

Is it possible all the screwups/misreading is due to another device reading or picking up the RFID signal?

Just to clarify, the phone is tucked under his balls/thighs (see here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/381941687?t=2h29m36s) probably for maximum hiding and handless ease of peeking.

But, to be fair, from that point on he seems to be pressed up to the table with no view. Heres the most significant hand I saw afterwards where there is a gap and a neck stretch https://www.twitch.tv/videos/381941687?t=4h07m05s Looks like that hat touch is for hiding his eyes from angles around him...

This guy is a total moron.

He did plays that for sure are so idiotic and can only be explained by knowing the card of the other player and possibly the board in advance too. (54o vs AK&AK, 95o vs 64s etc)

The bad thing is there must be people who are not such big morons. They can go undetected for years, ripping off other players with hundreds of thousands.

My argument against the key fob theory is that he doesn't really play in a way which demonstrates he has omniscience when it comes to the cards in the deck. There are moments where he has folded the worst hand for the board to run out and give him the winner. Analysing his play concludes that he can definitely see the hole cards, anything beyond that i feel is speculation for now.

As far as the headphones are concerned my guess is that after the first cheating allegation stones banned mobile phones from live play. Many players still used them and flouted the rules but this made Mike a little more cautious so he went with the way more MI6 version (stream is sent to a device off-site and then the information is relayed to him via bone conducting headphones under his cap)

Chaos,

Just a minor quibble but that evidence doesn't show the 9 of diamonds as the flops appear to be manually inputted

Great stuff. And we know that Taylor ran to the booth to tell the announcers the cards were wrong while Justin provided cover in the chat

Has Joey or anyone else confirmed they have scraped all the Stones YT and/or Twitch videos (eg before Stones removes them? That would look terrible, but it's a possibility) ?

I started scraping all the YT videos yesterday from a Linux server of mine, but it's only on video 250 out of 604 (my server only has 100M connection, and it's probably 1TB or more of videos)....

Can anybody do the math on what his win rate would be at a game like blackjack with the BB/100. Way over my head just curious how astronomical it would be and how quickly a casino would instant ban and probably press charges if it were Blackjack instead of poker.
