very good job

I think a better analogy would be football.

Imagine an NFL defense calls the right defense 100% of the time. Not just calling a run defense against a run, but stacking the exact planned run route with 3 defenders. Double and triple coverage on every primary receiving route. Never once going after a running back on a play-action. Figuring out every single trick play.

Calling the exact right defense once or twice wouldn't raise eyebrows, because it's possible to be right. But doing it for every play of an entire game or entire season is impossible. The only way you could do that is if you had the offenses play calls, just like Postle had access to hole cards.

Single Dad with sole custody of daughter here - he's not making sense.

You want the best for your daughter, and part of that is spending time with her.

Since Postle states he is one of the best in the world, he could play 2 hours of poker a month at Bobby's Room vs 3 nights a week or more at Stones and make a lot more money. You could also hire a full time nanny with that extra cash instead of babysitters as well.

I saw a DNEGs video of a visit to Bobby's and he made $82k in 2 1/2 hours, Gus Hanson was at his table. As Postle is one of the best he could definitely do this

As a former CIA employee, they are “officers,” not “agents.” Agents are the people we recruit.
We are trained to spot deception. There are certain things your unconscious mind does that can give you away. Some things you can control. Others you cannot. You cannot over rule your sympathetic nervous system outside of taking medications, such as beta blockers. However, there are still psychological things deceptive people do. Secret Service members test out the best as far as picking up on deceptive behavior.

The CA law says that cheating at any gambling game carries the same penalty as larceny of the same amount, only with reduced maximum fines (but the same jail time). Max fine is only $5k for a first offense; $10k for a 2nd.

It doesn't only cover player backed games, or even only games offered at a casino/cardroom. It covers all gambling (legal or otherwise). They even specifically mention 3 card monte in the law.

Might want to edit the post and remove those edgy capital letters....

Simple, greed. If he was cheating on his own he would take his scam up the food chain. He isn't, why? He has people specifically connected to that game/location and without them he has no edge.

It corroborates the claim he is cheating in that specific setup/game.

Oh **** CIA in here. Any connections to the legal world to lock him up? No way we can let him walk freely.

You do know that CIA is an information gathering agency that is legally forbidden to operate within the United States and not a law enforcement agency?
I was merely disputing some information posted here about our ability to spot deception as compared to the general public.

I know but you don't know any lawyers or someone who can do something? Sick of cheaters and scammers who won't be locked up for what they have done.

The national attention this has gotten makes it highly unlikely he doesn't pay a real price here. About the only logic way I can come up with is the argument that an unbiased jury could not be found. CNBC has a feature on it. CNBC is business news, Stone is not public. No real reason for them to mention it aside from it being that big of a story.

If you are indeed an officer you'd know that's not entirely true

Hey Guys,
I took this from investigation #3 4:58:00 Mark

Is he switching the infrared-light (hinden in his collar) on by pressing his hat?
His shirt could be coatet to even look funny coloured (far more red though) and make the infrared light very hard to spot. You could spot this with a simple smartphone-cam if not hidden.
His Phone-Device on the rail at this very moment would scan the cards an tell him via Bluetooth on his Bone-Headphone.

I wonder if such an anaomaly apears on pictures of other cheat-streams to.

There are so many rumors about Mike Postle, one I heard and if it is true everyone at the casino management should make sure their resumes are up to date, like they wil be able to find a jb after this. Anyway here is what someone said, Mike Postle was employed by the company that installed the tables and system. If I worked at McDonald's I can't win a big Mac but This so called Casino allows employs that installed the system to play on the system?

I see Stones discontinued live streaming though.

Very nice explanation you gave . I dont know why other guy is actig like that.

do you have any examples of those deceptive things you said ? any link to read ? not related with poker, more in general.

totally disagree, playing poker and winning in in ways that seem impossible is not a crime anywhere in the world. Outside of 2+2 it is nothing more than circumstantial evidence

Cheating using devices in a card game in a licensed CA Card Club is a crime in CA (upto 10K fine and 1yr in Jail). I think conspiring with others to commit any crime breaks several fed laws.

Doubtful that Postale and co-conspirators left no trail as they planned and ran this scam. This is the evidence that will convict them, not shoving with 84.


huh ?

agree.

Its the same seeing DNA blood evidence from a murder and saying "this does not prove'' lol. The poker hands how he played several hands already prove he was cheating, no doubt, 100% sure .

This one is a bunny.......there are 2 TVs right behind the table.....I'm sure there is a game on he is reacting to.

Given the date and screentime, one could probably even figure out exactly what play and game if they wanted...

You would expect a blue screen if you were VNCed into a Windows machine with the default background.

If it were a custom app, you'd expect them to be smart enough not to use the brightest possible colors.

fixed

Blue and green are common colors used in television for chroma keying graphics, so yes, this may be the direct output of the card graphics generator.

Another method is to generate graphics with an grey scale alpha channel that acts as a mask to overlay the graphics. Even with the alpha channel, the backgrounds may be blue or green, but they are usually black in that case.

Chroma keying is an easier and cheaper way to produce graphic overlays.

It would be pretty reckless of him to open carry the phone while it was on this display. I am amazed that nobody in the room ever picked up on it.

Screen sharing from a PC?

From what I understand, as long as you have a twitch key / obs key you can watch the stream in realtime and no one needs to know. There is no separate "password" assigned to it, just the key.

Easy enough to setup a computer and phone to view the desktop...

I really think he is more just having someone give him info.

To experienced poker players. A jury will have many with no knowledge of poker at all. It is highly likely that at least one would be confused and/or boarded against casinos or "low life gamblers". Get corroborating evidence, testimony from someone that was involved and flipped, etc....and it's a much tidier case to prosecute. The mere fact that there are some poker player ITT that believe he is innocent shows that the obvious is lost on some that handle some concept of the game. To a lay person......might create migraines. Attorneys have stated here the difficulty in taking the case based on complicated math. Negreanu gave an in-depth analysis on his Twitter page. "He cheated", entire dialogue. Postle isn't going to try and convince 12 experienced poker players he did not cheat. His attorney will seek jurors that seem capable of having doubt.

Yes, screen sharing. They are not in the cloud. Their tech set up consists of a windows work station running PokerGFX as a "server", with limited access to that machine.

The Twitch stream is always going to be delayed, we are talking about the live processing going on that eventually gets sent to the Twitch/YT streams.

This is by far the easiest solution, although that shade of blue from the screenshot a few posts above, seems more blue than default background. But I do have info on their tech setup as being what I described (Windows box acting as server).

He didnt open carry it though. In the video he hit the resume button on his phone and that showed up for a split second then he clicked it off. Watch it. The bideo is timed stamped a couple pages back.
