Let's say he is convicted. What would be considered fair punishment?

what do you mean by fast and loose they operate there?

Castration

repay his victims. 3 months in jail. or option to repay victims double and no jail.

I have been "obsessed" with all this as my girlfriend puts it, but look how quickly this thread went from 60-40 cheating to 99-1 (trolls/mike). Just imagine if he just played a lower vpip and instead of running gigantic float bluffs just used the superusing to hero call/fold a few spots but also picked some to just guess in small pots so they are wrong. I mean he literally played the perfect style if you could see someone elses cards to produce the highest hourly. How can anyone in poker for any amount of time think this his play is normal "pro crusher" style.

Well Mike is clearly an idiot. Hopefully he releases it anyways.

Agree, his hat looks bad on the right side and he's is doing crazy things with his phone in the first hour 1/2 of this stream, but if he received hole card info he still makes bad decisions on many hands that doesn't make sense. GOD mode he plays and acts totally different. Look at his hand at the 46min 24sec. Seems to do some crazy things with his phone but nothing else makes me think he’s getting any info that he’s acting on.

3 months in jail? For stealing 6 figures for well over a year and 30+ sessions, including a terminally sick man who literally playing his last session of poker. That would be an open invitation for all cheaters to keep cheating, that is hardly a punishment. He should face a minimum of 3 years. 3 months in county jail is a holiday.

Yes, these are red flags in 2019. They would have been red flags in 2009. I'm guessing they would be red flags in 1979 too. Like most thieves, Postle was just looking for an easy way to make quick money. You guys are trying analyze it like he's not cheating in an optimal way but that's clearly not his mindset. If he wanted to work his ass off and do things optimally he probably wouldn't be cheating in the first place.

3 months??? Half of this forum would snap take 3 months for 250-350k right now. Also no shot he has more than 50k right now.

6-Months in jail, 3-5 Years Probation, Repayment, and BANNED!


Cases like this dont come often and they want to make an example to deter others.

He adds on $500 during that time period to go from 1.3k to 1.8k

There's always the possibility that he had one or more sessions in which he experienced some sort of technical issue(s) in receiving the "data". Could explain his weird hat/phone behavior in a session where he isn't able to play in "God mode" but not for lack of preparing/trying too.

Agreed completely obviously. Imagine if he wasn't trying to maxmize his hourly and rather just doubled a winning players hourly by picking and choosing spots. Maybe win 60-65 percent of sessions and have some big loses mixed in there. He could have gotten away with this forever. Hell he could have even went on other streams and when he didn't win well its poker everyone has losing sessions. No they made this dude out like a GOD. Blows my mind how after first session he didn't watch the footage and think to himself okay that was too much gotta slow it down.

Anyone familiar with California crime have any idea of the actual crime? and appropriate punishment if allegations are true? Wonder what the crime for the colluder would be as well.
"Cheating in card game"?

It used to be a lengthy facebook post from (I believe) 2018, written by JFK, where he went through an event the casino had held together with pokerstars, and with livestreams and stuff. It contained all the names of the tech staff. This is where I first found Taylor Smith's name, btw, and started cross-referencing the employees with Postle's friend list (which he has made private since then).

Unless that page is bugging out just for me, someone with access to the facebook page (probably JFK) has read this thread, found the one time that I previously posted that link, and deleted that post.

Link broken - usually happens when content has been deleted (as you suggested)

THIS!

1. Confirmed. Playing live for almost 20 years and Mike Postle is definitely not alone in scamming people at the table, but he had taken it as far as you possible can imagine. There is not much I haven`t seen, however the most common one is where two or more players work together. Therefor playing live there is not a good idea sitting on your phone when not playing hands. You pick up a lot paying attention.

2. True. What happened after the financial crises in 08|09. Absolutely nothing since the participated parties are both the criminal and the judge. Mike Postle is the kind a guy you can make an example of since he most likely has no means to defend (buy himself out of the situation) with. The biggest scam which is running today is called tax. And how many people are exposed to that? Guessing most is answering everyone but that is not the truth since ~1 percent of the population do not pay anything. They just collect what the idiots contribute with out of their free will. The hustle is creation of money. It is brilliant. It is backed by nothing and when you read on the bills it says how owns it as well, so basically you are borrowing the money you have to "your name".

@Loctus. It's "not available at this moment" for me too.
The other stuff on the Stones Gambling Hall page is still there though.

P.S. I presume you saw the video where they list all the staff? (Just in case you're still in need of names).

Link doesn't work.

Searching this thread should help you. At least one lawyer has posted at length about this.

Should do it like the Middle East in the past , caught stealing you lose your hands

Commentating? You call that commentating? Its unadulterated IDIOCY.

Review California Gaming Commission regulations. In general, an accomplice to a crime also gets charged with the same crime: the get away driver is also charged with robbery, as an example.

Crucifixion for starters. Really, if there's no previous offense and if can make full restitution, 30 months in a cage. That's probably too much. At least 12 months in a cage imo.
