Pronounced innocent by whom? By his cheating buddies? I don't give a **** what they say, we see that he's guilty and that's what counts! And he'll be proven guilty by independent investigators, that's for sure also.

Casey Anthony and OJ are walking around. I have zero confidence Postle will face any repercussions here

Stones Gambling Hall should be pressured to release any relevant security camera footage they have on him/his phone for transparency, especially given how they botched their first "investigation".

Perhaps someone with your stature suggesting this directly to them or more visibly (than buried in the middle of this thread), such as a tweet from your account, could make this happen.

Most of us hope so coach. It is not good for Poker if he is let off.

Perhaps it's not that hard, but it's much easier to not have to remember if you don't have to. You see people glancing back at their own hole cards all the time, so just because it's easy to remember with practice doesn't mean he'd put the effort into doing so.

Not at all. Why would he? He'll disappear off the stream.

Why would you say such a thing? If he doesn't go to jail he's not done. Cheaters generally don't go away and it's not like he is now set for life based on what he stole.

This is true.

Nobody suspected he was cheating through a bone conduction headset.

Two minutes later, at 3:23:00, in the same video, he is only able to make a hero call on the river after he looks down between his legs at his phone.. (This is how he knows what the other player's cards are)
https://youtu.be/WaWPHGvuqDg?t=12180
This is a great find. Since this is early on he was probably not as adept at hiding what he was doing. The way he looked down at his phone this time was extra lol obvious.

Yet if mike p was cheating,and it went on for months,they didnt pick up on it,or do anything about it.
Imagine he was doing that at blackjack (winning big for months or years) do you think the casino wouldnt be all over him ,investagating every play he made ?.
True, I know of multiple players who have stolen chips off other players stacks in a casino and they were just given a 24 hr ban.

That's not just any Vegas vlogger. That's the OG trooper.

He has special nicknames like "the Apostle", and is SO good and has such a HUGE reputation that they make memes out of his greatness, making him either "Jesus", the "Messiah", or "The Devil". Shouldn't has playing ability and style yield similar results RIGHT ACROSS THE BOARD, at every place he regularly plays?
This is really easy to defend. It's because Stones Casino had a specific goal of giving Mike Postle this hero persona. Mike Postle claims to not be interested in any of those accolades. He claims he just wants to play poker.

It proves that he didn't know the runout in this particular hand. Also, I would note he's in a seat that he typically doesn't sit in.

Beginning of interview: Says he hasn't been reading all the stuff online said about him over the past few days.
Middle of interview: Proceeds to list off every theory ever stated online about him over the past few days.

His whole "I don't like attention" argument is bullshit. On Stones Live you choose which name you want displayed for you (the TD comes around and takes your picture and asks what you want your display name to be on stream) - so when he's Postle Clause or APostle or any other stupid attention whoring name it's because he specifically asked for it.

One theory is he is only receiving simple messages rather than individual hole-cards. Example, simple codes that indicates if he is ahead, behind. So he needs to check his phone every turn.

The people doing the investigation MUST include some professional poker players so they can talk about how impossible it is the way he’s playing these hands. If this is just a bunch of people looking for devices he’s gonna get off.

I believe 100% that he is a cheater. The evidence is unsurmountable (IMO). But him being upset here looks more like he just lost money on a sports bet.

Every time I read the phrase "if he's innocent" I get triggered

Please listen to the people who understand poker and have combed over dozens of hours of his play. He's guilty. Innocence is just not a remote goddamn possibility. My god, if Postle's dot on the Potripper graph doesn't tell you that literally by itself, then you don't understand what you're looking at. He's statistically proven guilty. Nevermind how obviously guilty he is in so many other ways

All that matters is if we'll get a real confession or not

This. You can't make any conclusions based on his demeanor or be folly to think you can. In fact Judges, even CIA agents are generally statistically horrible at figuring out who's guilty or lying. And it'd be totally natural for an innocent person to lose sleep over this also.

Often it HURTS to meet the person and look for secondary patterns, (just ask western leaders that met with Hitler, believed he was a stand up guy and that he wouldn't step out of his boundaries and start a war)


Let's stick to the hard evidence, and feels like now all that remains is to fill in some details, get evidence on conspirators and concrete proofs and or direct witnesses

And then move it to law?

I think with the current evidence he could lose in a civil court.

Criminally is the issue, we need physical evidence phones/text/manipulation of the stream/RFID manipulation. Mathematical improbability and looking down at his crotch is not going to be enough for a criminal case.

Matt berkey and the live change of the whole cards might be the strongest evidence, matt is very educated about RFID and he has essentially said it is impossible for the cards to change live like that without the individual in the back being notified that the cards are being read incorrectly, this might be the smoking gun. I think this individual is in on it and he manipulated the cards live because the hand would've looked way too suspcious had he not done so.

Yep. I was gonna post that the only thing funnier than the group of characters on "Team Postle" is the idea that they/he believe if he is deemed "innocent" by this investigation that will be some aha moment and that will be the end of it. It's impossible he's not guilty. And whatever happens here this will not be the end of it. Unless this investigation leads to an Adam Silver like dropping of the hammer and everyone involved is outed.

The funniest thing is if these people (Stones/investigators) had any brains they'd realize the best thing they can do is end this as quick as possible. But they're too arrogant/stupid. Which is why we're here in the first place. To them they actually think there's a chance they can just put this behind them and move on. All a "clearing" of Postle's name by this independent investigation would do is bring more people into the colluded mix.

Scott Van Pelt made the best analogy when he said imagine playing pickup basketball with a guy that missed a shot like once every couple years. He’d be playing in the NBA. Why is Postle only playing in Stone streams when he could be cleaning up in Vegas.

He's already defended this. He has to stay close to Sacramento (how close? no clue) due to court order so the mother of his child can exercise her visitation rights. He isn't looking for the limelight. He prefers the soft games at Stones over a game with a bunch of pros. Game selection is extremely important to him (he made it sound like his entire career was built upon leeching money from terrible players). He's not looking for the most money or to put in the most hours. He is very happy making just enough to get by and support his family and take vacations.

I wish we could fast forward to the conclusion of what happens to him if anything. This waiting period is gonna suck and everyday will be slower and slower of new information soon.

How is that a good analogy at all . Does the height of the ring change in NBA vs. pickup basketball? Is there money to be lost by trying out for the NBA?

I don't get why weak arguments like "BuT wHy IsN't He MoViNg Up?" are necessary when there's a TON of much more incriminating evidence out there.

He stated he has to stay in California. Though I know plenty of people that have full custody who travel out of state for work.
