These 3 are the most likely suspects. No way Mike worked alone and I find it really hard to believe Justin is innocent.

sorry if this has been adressed already, just too much stuff to go through.


amazing job to everyone involved bringing this forward, what a sickening story

I have no affiliation with either Mike. BUT I hate to see am imnocent men being proscecuted by an angry mob.
Does it bother you that people have literally calculated Mikes win rate on every stream he has played in, in over a year and found that his winrate is statistically IMPOSSIBLE? The man wins at a higher rate than any player we have ever seen in the history of poker EVER and his winrate is actually higher than the ****ing superuser (Potripper) on Ultimate bet back in the day. Mike has played 10,000 hands on live stream do you realize how important this data is? The odds of mike winning at a rate this high over 10,000 is literally impossible and simply CANNOT happen without cheating. Combine this with the Hundreds of examples of shady play and well..... Yeah he cheated. BTW basing your analysis off of the podcast that was literally the least believable podcast I think the world has ever seen and will be a meme for years and years to come just makes me think you are either Mike himself or one of the people that is in on this whole scandal.

I just watched a stream where the broadcaster types “justin get off the account in the twitch chat”. The video is below.

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/360589063?t=7995s
It should be time stamped around 02:13:00. Keep an eye on the chat replay.
I don't believe this is true. The commentators are engaging in real time with chat - there is no delay on Twitch. They're watching the delayed content in real time, so the Twitch key doesn't matter.

This makes no sense. If you were using Twitch itself to add the delay, maybe. But that's not what's happening. Nothing gets streamed to Twitch/Youtube until 30 mins after live action when the booth commentary and graphics are combined with the pokergfx graphics into one video stream.

@Go Deep AKA Mike

you should really start over, create a new account (so we can plausibly believe this isn't you) and defend yourself formally not with "but I think he's good" but rather addressing specifics

i agree with a lot of points that this has reached an absurd point such as people offering bounties for evidence, thinking the commentators are all in on it, thinking that you have awful fashion sense, etc, etc

but I'm sure a lot of this would slow down if you made an actual statement

for example, on matusow, I don't think you ever actually denied anything, you're entire argument was that the winrate was incorrect - yet that doesn't account anything else and even if that win rate were 1/5th as high, then it's still an absurd statistical outlier only explained by cheating or an act of god

that interview where you didn't actually address anything and only said it was the win rate was what sealed it for me, not this 5k comments of speculative nonsense

create a new thread, do an AMA and answer the questions - this is really you're only shot at swaying any opinion to your side - we've all seen the evidence and it doesn't add up to anything other than cheating

creating sock puppet accounts to pretend to be other people is just absurd and further incriminates you in the eyes of the public

create a fresh account, contact the mods, do an AMA

Decided to watch some of this 5/10 stream from 01/12/19 where Mike profited over 20k. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AADIsPTsxc The way he plays he has to know what cards are coming in the future. Hand at 1.23.11 he calls A2o pre against single raise who has QQ; multiway on A106 board he RAISES a bet on the flop and a Q ends up hitting the river. At 1.28.29 he raises K5 suited pre and flops KQ2 with the best hand. Its pretty scary. And then the hand at 1.05.00 when he bluffs JQQK turn with 85s against 87. OK

You can set a manual delay on twitch. Your right i might be wrong on this one. Very interesting though that in the chat they say “Justin get off the account”. As if 2 people have access to it at the same time. Interesting...

He'll never do it though. He couldn't take the heat from the NVG Mob.

Easy, deck is stacked for Mike. How does commentator knows that? He's in on it and was shown the deck in advance. One stacked deck a session that commentators get to split up! Instant money printing. No variance, no skill. Just corrupted chain-of-custody to introduce deck. Maybe this was the low-brow hustle to balance the snitching budget.
Stones Cheating Team used many different sophisticated methods. All of the Team were compensated fairly or they would have spoken up by now.

Goes towards the mythos of Mike's UNBELIEVABLE luck as well. "Mike gets it in BAD too! But he STILL ALWAYS WINS. Wowowow THIN MINT VALUE" in prison for those involved. (RIP Doyle) (POTRIPPER/POSTLE2020) Vammmoooooooooo fu luck

That youtube link is not working, says video unavailable. However, I don't understand how any of the hands you described are evidence that he knows what cards are coming in the future?

Thanks for responding. There must be a lot of behind the scenes talk going on that we don't know about, and I understand why. Just don't wanna see people go too deep off the conspiracy madness end without evidence (see post directly above this lol). Keep up the good work etc.

There is a hand where he folded KK on QQxx and a K hit on the river, so he knew his opponents cards from the RFID, but didn't know what would be dealt.

I don't see how it's possible, even with technology of today.. to know what cards are coming. Hence why he isn't making too many moves preflop.. He generally plays larger pots where he knows he has odds and can make plays after seeing the community cards.

He stole north of 300k. I would be set for life! to think a slime bucket like him would actually be able to save letalone gross a quarter million dollars you must be out your mind.

I would be happy with 50k and be set for life. tbh

I dont know what planet you are on but they dont call rich ppl rich for a reason. Its not like everyone needs millions of dollars to live. You must be one delusional guy to think the average person/family needs hundreds of thousands to live. Most dont make close to that much money in their entire life.

But then the hand around 1:40:00 disproves above theory. He has 106dd against opponents 55 on 1075dd flop. He ends up making 2 pair on the river and betting a small amount (1/5 pot lol). It's very likely he was in tune with his image at this stage and knew it would look ridiculous to check back river or play it in a greedier way.

I've also included a screen grab of the app information page from Apple's app store.



Notice how in addition to the blue background both have a white bar at the top of the screen. This is where the app shows the list of systems available to connect to.
I had a theory that the suspicious phone use was him viewing the hole cards on the production computer remotely on his smart phone, which is actually quite easy to set up in numerous ways.

the forensics on the computer system should prove there was a hack and say more than enough of whats was going on. they dont need any professionals to tell them that "he should have bet/fold" His winning per hand and win rate and playing stats should say more than enough

Created a new 2+2 account after years to chime in on this

One thing - has anybody set about mirroring all of the live streams on YouTube? I assume that a preservation of records request from a civil lawyer or a subpoena/warrants from the gov is at least days away - so there is a risk of this all being lost/deleted before it is completely analysed (a great lawyer will tell you that the best and only time to destroy evidence is before it becomes evidence)

There is an app called youtube-dl[0] that downloads youtube in full best quality (which also makes the freeze frames a lot better than the screenshots most have been posting in this thread) - it just needs a bit of an effort to coordinate and store all the streams somewhere

Ditto twitter feeds (almost certain some are about to be deleted) and pages which can be fed into archive.is

One regret with this incident is that it all unfolded in public (although Mike is unarguably an idiot for speaking) so the trail can be covered up to an extent

edit: i've back up his tweets. if there are any other twitter accounts to backup let me know. if you want to backup the streams:

1. save this file: https://pastebin.com/raw/bxxBiVmn

2. run:

youtube-dl -c --format 303 -a postle-streams.txt --write-info-json

where postle-streams.txt is the downloaded file list of streams
