+1 to this. If there were a few more sessions like the one when JFK was in Vegas, he would have a plausible defense. The key piece of evidence here I s you cannot play a high variance style without ever experience variance. That session basically puts a bullet into the 1-man theory.

He posted ITT

That's already been brought up. It's a possibility, but there's several other aspects that suggest JFK was involved. JFK going into chat during the graphics change broadcast to re-assert it to the chat, JFK being the main person accusers went to and then leading investigations nowhere, the fact that everyone else was accountable to JFK but JFK wasn't clearly accountable to anyone, etc.

The bracelet theory is, a huge red herring. Before the hat, he kept his hand low because he was still using his phone. People are trying to say Postle invented all this James Bond cheating technology, but alternatively, he ordered a $150 bluetooth conductive headphone off of Amazon and JFK spoke to him over it. And if you come up with a 1-man job theory, you have to explain JFK's bizarre behavior.

JFK mirrored to the phone, then later spoke into the bluetooth hat. It's a super simple explanation, but people are still watching hundreds of hours of Youtube going pixel by pixel to put forth more complex and less supported ones.

Most likely Nevada Gaming and California Gaming Commission have different standards when it comes to monitoring streamed games in casino properties. Given the importance of casinos/gaming to the state of Nevada, it would be logical to assume Nevada has the most stringent gaming regulations of any State in the US.

Basically once you broadcast to OBS, its on there, you can't go back into it and make graphical changes, its almost as if youve already gone live, except OBS then broadcasts on youtube/twitch on a 30 min delay, but you can't go back once its broadcast to OBS. That means that the editor would have had to have done it live himself, which is just impossible, why would he ever do that. How could Postle have known it was misread to alert anyone in the first place?

Wow at 1:08:50 of the march 5 2017 125k spring classic won by Mike Postle for 36k, fat train Justin Kelly says I'm just waiting for Postle to eat more of that pizza so I can get paid! What does this mean? Good natured joke and innocently has a piece of Mike in this tourney? or something more sinister?

Before the break Norm and Justin Kelly (not to be confused with Justin Kuraitis TD) were saying salads are normally good food to eat for luck at the table but Mike Postle was eating pizza during the stream and knocked out a player for 10bb with 44 vs ace7 and right before the break Postle doubled up with a set of 888 on a 3flush pot vs KK with flush draw.

When does he go on the mouthpiece is it tonight?

How dumb can you be to do a 2 hour interview when it is very likely you will face a criminal investigation?

His pre-scandal interviews, and post-scandal tweets, texts, DMs etc pretty much refers to all of the above points.

The one thing he needs to say (and then do) to prove his innocence is 'I will play at a neutral venue, streamed live without RFID or hole card info available, without any hat/phone etc over multiple sessions, and I will play the same way and win the same way as I have over 16 years'.

If Justin is really innocent he should be pissed off beyond belief finding out what the hell happened in his room. Seriously!

Yeah. Some people can't seem to grasp why the 98s hand is basically a lock that he had an inside man in the production team.

I suggest anyone who still doesn't get it to try and digest these 3 posts

Matt Berkey solved the case in the podcast at around 30 min mark. Knowledge is everything.

Lol I can’t see this being a good idea, I’m guessing he hasn’t talked to a lawyer

During the fox 40 news clip Oct 3 Thursday night they read off a statement from Patrick Harbison with the words spokesperson for stones gambling hall.

1:37 into 2:08 clip

His business website doesn't list Stones as a client:

The guy is likely going to face charges for stealing a quarter of a million dollars. Saying *anything* publicly is incredibly stupid. Thankfully he's too stupid to just shut up, get a lawyer and take a month long vacation out of town while the story dies down a bit. That is the only intelligent thing to do.

Is this podcast with the mouth even going to be coherent? Had Matusow's twitter in a tab waiting for him to post it and he tweets some batshit stuff. He's more gone than I had realized. Jesus christ.

The casino has to protect Mike in order to protect itself, but because the casino can't control the narrative, the second best thing they can do now is throw Mike under the bus.
He's a narcissist.

So what?

Has anyone ran the 54o hand through pio just to make sure it isn't GTO?

No, but that's probably better for people hoping Mike faces punishment. It's bad for anyone that is interested in this, I'm not going to listen to two hours of Matusow. I don't wish that upon anyone in this thread.

What's interesting to think about is that DNA evidence is often used for pretty automatic convictions in court. The statistics behind Postle's hands are literally more compelling than DNA evidence. Statistically speaking it is more likely to get a false positive from a DNA test than for Postle to have done this legitimately. Yet no court will understand poker or statistics well enough to grasp this, so it all comes down to if people rat him out.

I am a criminal defense attorney in CA. I've played on the Stones Live game, though not against Mike, and I've given this a lot of thought over the last few dsys.

The meat of the charges against Mike would be violations of Penal Code Sec. 332. That code says that cheating at a game to gain an unfair advantage over other players means that your winnings are fraudulently obtained, and it is punishable as larceny of the amount obtained.

Larceny is punishable as a misdemeanor (maximum 6 months in jail) if the amount stolen is $950 or less. It can be a felony, grand theft, if the amount is greater than $950.

I think there'd be a strong argument that Mike could not just be prosecuted for each individual session, as you speculate. You're right. He could and likely would be prosecuted for each individual session.

More than that though, I think that Mike could face a distinct felony charge of grand theft for every single pot won where he profited more than $950.

The first grand theft charge he was convicted of could carry up to 3 years in jail. Each additional count could carry an additional 8 months.

That thought is really just an exercise in what-ifs though. He wouldn't ever be charged in that manner, because:

1. Proving beyond a reasonable doubt that he cheated during a session is significantly easier and less time-consuming than proving cheating in individual hands, and

2. At ~60 cheating sessions, that's more than enough potential jail time to throw around at the negotiating table, and easily enough to satisfy any reasonable opinion on what would be a just sentence.

Details that may be somewhat peculiar to California, if anybody cares (this is all assuming Mike doesn't just receive probation. I can't fathom that he would.):

- In this circumstance, sentences on individual counts could be run concurrently, in whole or in part. Going down on 60 counts doesn't automatically equate to a 40+ year sentence.

- Because of prison overcrowding in California, assuming that Mike has no prior serious or violent felony offenses, and isn't a registered sex offender, he'd serve the custody portion of his sentence in jail, not prison.

- Mike would be presumptively elligible for a "split sentence" on his jail time. A portion of his sentence would be served in custody. The remainder would be served on "mandatory supervision." He'd effectively be serving the rest of his sentence on probation, and could return to custody for some or all whatever time remains on his sentence if he violated.

- Assuming Mike didn't lose good time or work time credits for disciplinary reasons in jail, he'd only actually serve half of the custody time imposed. It's also possible that he could serve a portion of the custody time at home in an ankle monitor.

Plot twist- it's the sim playing tricks on us. If you rearrange the name Michael Postle it spells Simple Ol Cheat.
