Mike Postle cheating allegations (FAQ in first post) - Page 141 - Poker News

Joey,

Just re-watching #4 investigation stream

Watch from 2.21.00 when Mike loses flush over flush.
The commentators say that 'Mike came to watch that hand'. Which is something that must've happened during the 30 minute delay.
2,23.30 and the commentators try to roll that back and say that 'That is of course right. They players don't go back into the producers. That was stupid of us!'

What does that mean?

THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS

Although I guess if you get a couple of Mike Matusows on the jury that could sink any case.

Genuinely you don't want the 75 year old grandma on the jury watching hours and hours of poker.

You probably could get a conviction without a "smoking fub" (knowing *exactly* how he did it), but that makes it much tougher and I have my doubts we will ever know the exact method used without a subpoena for his phone/email records and him being lazy/careless and sharing that information.

There is a big difference (in a criminal trial) between "he cheated and here is the equipment we confiscated used in the crime" and "his winrate is mathematically virtually impossible therefore he must be cheating." The equipment used shows how he cheated. The math/stats only proves his winrate is virtually impossible. Also, I'm sure you can get a stats expert to say MP's winrate is virtually impossible. Unfortunately, when that same expert is faced with the questions "did MP cheat? And how did he cheat?": I suspect no stats expert would be willing to answer definitely on those questions. Using DNA as an example; DNA can place a suspect at the scene of a stabbing, but you still need to prove the suspect did the actual stabbing.

Hasn't it come out that people have cheated in random lotteries around the world and lost in court. The fact hat i read this is like winning 16 powerballs in a row speaks a lot to the random person. Lets say this wasn't about poker but a lottery somewhere and mike we knew was friends with few people who ran the lottery wouldn't it be obvious

I think everyone talking about how best to convince a jury is getting way ahead of themselves (and mostly posting really poor advice!)

hmmm stuck to her guns == as the stakes at Stones Live grew to their highest limit ever inviting and driving high profile names (who play on their own bankroll) and not even whispering them a warning about wtf they were getting ready to walk into

was there a stream this week that had technical difficulties? Poker legend Commander97 mentioned it in his latest vlog (dunno how many days behind his vlogs are).

I'm glad to know I'm not the only loser waiting for a Mike Matusow podcast on a Friday night. Of course, I say that in jest. I know the rest of you are multitasking banging hot chicks and making sick lay downs while waiting for this podcast.

Is it enough suspicion to convict me of armed robbery of said bank? Absolutely not.

In addition, the only shot at getting the smoking gun (since none of these idiots called him out live on stream so that security could check his damn device) is getting someone on staff to flip which I think will be hella easy if anyone else was involved.

I can provide additional details via DM if necessary.

That's kind of weird. The couple times I played he always mentioned he drove in from Reno. Even semi-bragged about getting comped free rooms a lot.

That is insane. And the commentator didn’t even blink when Taylor messaged him a second time to say Mike wasn’t back there

Probably. Why did there need to be a multi-hour delay before posting? Is Matusow letting Postle listen to it and letting him determine what he wants to keep as a part of it?

And this guy is winning close to 150bb/100.

Back in the day fish would put em on AK call down and lose. Now the pros are putting 2 guys on AK calling all in pre with 54o and taking down pots.
