It’s sad how this thread went from a interesting investigation to a display of logical fallacies and people being oblivious to the advantage of hindsight.

The plot to this, if it was a movie...I'd walk out due to sheer unbelievability. And yet here we are.
If 200+ hours of poker is closely being watched unlikely things are supposed to happen. You’ve only got a point when there are many instances of this.

Am I wrong? How does mike get away with this for over a full year probably over a thousand hours of streamed gameplay without the guys whos job is LITERALLY to study my gameplay live for everyone to see not suspecting anything. I understand there is a reasonable chance that they are innocent but claiming they are not even suspicious is just delusional plain and simple.
It’s good that you aren’t Mike Postle because you’d have been caught much earlier. The more people involved the more likely someone would have spilled the beans. Remember that before someone is involved you have to ask them to get involved, which is a huge risk on itself.
Their job isn’t to study people’s gameplay, their job is to have some light talk to make watching unedited poker bearable (if that is even possible). It’s nice to have some stories if you have to talk for hours and having the next poker prodigy on your table makes for a good one. That supernatural capabilities are attributed towards certain players happens during poker commentary all the time.
Most players that collectively lost over 200.000 didn’t see anything suspicious. Are they suspect now too? Also Veronica who started all this was fully expecting Mike to make incredible plays and it took her a long time to realize what’s really going on. She even brought friends to the show that ended up losing a lot against Mike. I hope we can agree she’s not suspect. Yet she did the same thing as the other commentators for months. When you or I would be watching an episode without an investigative eye we’d probably see a great player and/or weird plays that happened to work out as well. If you think you’re any better than the thousands of people that have watched and didn’t notice anything wrong odds are you think too highly of yourself.

You know this is a discussion forum right? Minority opinions are allowed and if you’re offended by them you shouldn’t be here. Besides that the majority of people have an IQ below 101 so I don’t see how the majority opinion is all that relevant.

It’s funny how thousands of people can watch footage and don’t see anything suspicious, and then when people start looking for it there are ghosts everywhere. ‘Clip that’ is said thousands of times on Twitch each day.
