Yeah, I saw your post right after I went through a bunch of streams and felt better about my conclusion. I was going to quote it but then so many posts came through, I couldn't find it again.

Yes, but is it stupidity or greed that caused the robber to do that? In some cases it's clearly stupidity. However, in this case it is clearly greed. I've seen nothing that tells me Mike Postle is a stupid person. He may not be a very good poker player anymore but I'd be surprised if he has a below average IQ.

bump

I can't even fathom what this will be like


lmao

who wants to listen to 2 hours of complete lies, blatant cheating, and total delusional nonsense?

and mike postle is there too

This is talking about the 96 vs 86/89 hand.

IMO this thing can be chalked up to greed on Postle's part. When he bet the river, knowing his opponent can't CALL, it's gonna be a pretty standard hand when the opponent folds.

However, opponent pulls the trigger with the hero RAISE (but leaving enough behind to fold). It's at this point things go haywire. Postle refuses to give up the pot, and someone in the production team seems to realize that it looks absolutely ridiculous, and the cards change value at this point.

Lol. Thanks for bringing this dead thread back to life.

Really nice work both of you thanks. Funny that the commentator on that very first T2s hand exclaims "It's like they are playing face up!". Is it just me or is his cap not bulging in that early cheating session?

In the phone texts posted by Veronica aka angry_polak in #2725, not once does Postle DENY he was cheating. That is very telling.

LOL.

Matusow got ****ed by a superuser on UB so I was wondering what his angle was. For sure, he knows hes guilty but played neutral to get him on his podcast. Matusow you sly dog you! I aint mad at him for this haha. Good work Ill be sure to tune in!

lol wp

getting postle to speak on the record for 2 hours can only be a good thing IMO even if most of it is lies and BS

Mike "fat hat" Postle
Mike "bone-phones" Postle
Mike "the crotch watcher" Postle

Could turn out like when Ellie Elezra came to promote his book and defend himself.

It would be nice if Matusow prepared for this interview by actually going over footage beforehand, otherwise it might just be Mike Postle hitting grand slam home runs for 2 hours. It should be entertaining from a humor standpoint at least (don't think the victims will find much humor in Postle's side though).

Smart enough to never make a mistake? 100% success on bluffs, no post flop errors? No. My wife knows zippo about poker and she said....why didn't lose some on purpose to hide it?

He is either the greatest poker player ever or not bright enough to lose enough to show human error. I'll opt for the latter.

Ah, the persistence issue shows up with the AA hand I mentioned. Mark has AdAs here: https://youtu.be/PX5ccjVEapY?t=10989
But in the next hand he had Ts9s, but the screen said AsAd again: https://youtu.be/PX5ccjVEapY?t=11230

Has someone got a link to the full session, or know the date of, the infamous 86o (or 98ss) hand? I've only seen it as a twitch clip on Joey's twitter.

There is a good chance Postle will let his guard down somewhat if interviewed by a friend. I'd be almost surprised if he doesn't.

I think the media buzz will generate a fair amount of L.E. interest.

Didnt see your prior post, thanks for the heads up.

One thing my pops mentioned after I was reading him some of this thread (he's a senior law enforcement officer with 40+ years experience and has written manuals on interrogation/etc), is that in the txts that Veronica posted mentioned above, one of the first things Mike Pustule says is that he has no appetite and can't sleep. While this may seem minor, it's an important psychological angle here, as those who are innocent and accused rarely if EVER have this reaction, they come out angry and swinging. Those with extreme feelings of guilt and/or being cornered and trapped by their past actions, in the VAST majority of cases have a similar physiological response to what Mike Pustule is self describing here in his texts. It's so reliable that it's one of the first "tricks" investigators will use in order to get the weather gauge of a suspect, to see if there are first signs of possible guilt - test their appetite.

I think its funny Mike of all people is going to be doing this interview. History, the present, and the story of Postle is so perfect right now. I can't believe this is all actually happening.

What a time to be alive.

A beginning of an era! lolz.

It wouldn't surprise me if it ends up being 2hrs of both of them stroking each others egos. My guess is that Matusow secretly thinks Postle is guilty but he also does a lot of weird ****. Who knows though, he might ask some hard hitting questions.

Hope Matusow asks him in detail about the allegations and not just let him give his version. Yeah, let the guy have his say but there are so many things for him to explain and not side step.

Every poker player in the world
