I guess I didn't describe it well enough.

KcQc of Gina wasn't "registered". It just stayed the same from previous hand. Notice that it's the same position. Why it stayed the same? I don't know, call it a glitch or bug or whatever, but like I said it happened before and it was posted ITT before. Obv can't find it now with +130 pages. Maybe even Berkey commented on this scenario?

AcKc got registered correctly in that hand and KcQc just stayed the same from previous hand for some reason, because actual Gina's hand wasn't registered.

Go to 23:22 - you will see the reflections of the lights above in his glasses, they are perfectly white. So how can that be? Shouldn't they be blue or blue tinted then? Yet they are pure white, and pure white a lot of other times in this stream.

Not sure if I was clear, the earlier poster is saying he had a blue app running, but then he switched it to text app that had a white background to show harlan.

This is the issue with group think behavior, it helped us evolve as a species, but when it comes to politics or commiting people of crimes it becomes extremely dangerous, this is why the judicial system is cautious who it puts on the jury, IMO the judicial system should even be more stricter.

Video posted by Veronica of her last commentary, with other commentator praising the poker God.
I really don't believe any of the commentators were in on this at all. They were just caught up in the Postle hype. But still, I have to say, it's revolting listening to the commentary on these hands, and across the streams in general. The Postle worshiping was just over the top. It's like it snowballed, and stream after stream was an ode to his greatness as a player. They were gushing with praise.

VPIP of 50+ across all of these streams, and usually the top winner each time... I mean, it's just so crazy it went on for this long.

It's been said before, but Veronica is a real hero here.

Good catch. It appears he has a few seconds to tap on his screen from the point it's blue until they cut to the different camera angle and he's showing Harlan the screen which is now white.

Upon going to the cage, (again on 2 occasions at 2 different casinos, Plaza and Orleans) they start asking for my players card, ID, asking questions about what game I was playing, etc. I would ask them why that was relevant, and told them that I just want to be paid my money, and that, via the TITO itself, they can SEE what I was playing, and, if they like, can review tapes or see whose card was in the machine at that time, and give them no other info, because it is NOT REQUIRED. Both times, they sent some senior person down who finally OK'd my being paid without added info.

The point here is, 5k or 10k, the cages at many places have been instructed to actively annoy and get info from people who they SUSPECT MAY be attempting to 'structure' to save them the hassle of looking things up later.
Many have some lower-than-5k-trigger value that is known only by them where they start asking questions. I'm sure Stones has this value as well.
This is part of "know your customer" and is required by regulation of the federal government. Financial institutions, defined broadly (including casino cages) have to take steps to avoid structuring. If they stopped asking you those questions, I would worry the casino was not on the up and up.

Thanks for that. Also for those that think the glasses are blue causing this, look at the gif he just put up, you can clearly see the blue light from his phone on his shirt.

this to be honest. The commentators are just hyped braindeads. They're tilting the **** out of me but I rly think they don't have anything to do with it. They're just proper braindeads

Funny hand because u can see the pain of how much Mike wants to fold on the flop. (Remember he cant fold flop because that would make his cheating obvious) I mean he picks up his cards and is so ready to muck. No normal player in that spot would ever give off that type of body language and Andrew Neeme points it out too. What a scumbag Mike!!! I do have to say the commentary here is suspect (except neeme)

Postles lawyer could pick up on these arguments saying stuff like "having a royal flush is x%. Having two royal flush in 10min of play is x% very unlikely, still happening". I say this caus today I read an article of a guy on twitch having this happen to him.
He could show videos of other famous hands, like the robl Antonio's hand in PLO where robl wins 4 runs and which was iirc <0.1%, just to show that people get lucky etc.

It all depends on how it is presented to the jury... And a dry math professor explaining variance etc might be counterproductive.

Also they could say, that postle played elsewhere and lost during that time etc. There is no hands on evidence so far. It is quite obvious that he cheats, but it was also quite obvious that OJ is guily... Though he came free.

But what this lawsuit might accomplish, is that it will maybe frighten Postles helpers. So someone might get scared and will talk, which would obviously be a Gigantic plus to convince the jury.

I still think and hope that a jury will be smart enough to understand, but the case is not a super hammer slam dunk insta win imo.
It's a very strong civil case except for the low damages.

A smart lawyer won't bore a jury with hours of statistics. A smart lawyer will be talking about cell phones and crotches and how his play changes and funny hats and how he suddenly doesn't play much and doesn't play the same when his buddy is out of town. And that's all plenty easy for a jury to understand.

Defendants who say things that aren't true get cross examined.

Candy Crush? Oh, I love that game. What level did you get to? I happen to have my cell phone here, could you demonstrate your play? Do you still have the app on your phone? Why would you uninstall something that was crucial to your defense? Etc.

I assume this was already posted - but it's great information about how the Poker GFX software works. Since there's been a lot of new stuff about GFX in the last couple days - this is a good background.

There's plenty of video out there. There's all the b-roll they shot for Stones Live. There's casino surveillance cameras. There's footage that random people might have shot of the "TV table" when they visited Stones. Give it time.

It's been said before, but Veronica is a real hero here.
It's not just a VPIP of 63% that is amazing, it is the fact that he has that VPIP at those stakes.

No winning player would advocate this frequency of bluffing and calling/playing that wide and loose at these stakes.

Im not saying this to brag im honestly not, but as someone that crushes and makes my living from these stakes, I would never advocate for the way mike plays pre-flop at these stakes and I don't think there is a player that would.

Edit: A great player that plays high stakes 6mans can have a high VPIP, but to have a VPIP of 63% at full table 1/3 2/5 is just not a thing.

Edit: If you go to 2:29:40 on joeys latest stream veronica sort of brings up what I am saying, his post-flop play does not add up with his pre-flop play. Ofcourse the other idiot commentator does not seem to understand this.

The whole arguement was that the individual in the back changed the cards to 89s because the play would've looked way too suspicious, but in this situation there is no reason to alter other peoples cards at the table, why would you intentionally give veronica and the other individual both Kc? Matt said two cards can not register twice, but in this case it seems that it did and why on earth would the individual in the back even do that?
There is a simple explanation for this KcQc hand. Gina holds KcQc in the previous hand. Hands lagging from previous hands a repeated problem in the streams (sometimes attributed to same player, sometimes a different one), and somewhat muddy the waters.

Having looked at A LOT of these now in trying to eliminate the significance of the 89s hand, can say it - and it alone - remains inexplicable.

Whilst I don't think it can be conclusive evidence, it's been a key red flag that Mike clearly had an accomplice on the inside of the live feed tech. Am certain the person named as the accomplice in the lawsuit will also be the person who made this panic change in real time to try and minimise MP's ridiculous play in this spot.

Here's the software.

Notice the hue. Saturation and brightness are off, as expected given screen differences, angle of the phone, and lighting. But the hue (H: = the actual color) is almost identical.

Then again I thought maybe all bright blue is that close, so I googled bright blue and picked some shades that looked similar. I got 230 and 247. Interesting that they're that close. Maybe some graphic experts can weigh in on the likelihood of that.

Also notice all the empty space. It looks exactly like what the software looks like in the demo wiiziwiig posted - mostly empty space (where the live camera shots would be) with cards along the edges.

Now that we know that they likely just piped the data out to another party and what the unused streaming feature looks like when you're not actually using GFK to put the actual stream together - that blue screen makes a ton of sense.

Blue screen? Mike and his lawyer can browse through the app store and just find apps that exhibit a blue screen.

Crotch staring? I was watching the stream on a delay.

Without proof that the RFID was manipulated he will get off scott free, if your going to accuse someone of cheating you better have better evidence then math, crotch staring, and blue screens.
Watching the stream on a delay while in a huge hand everytime...
The creator of the poker gfx already explained the 98 of spades hand. And im sure he can explain the K of club hand.

Thats why the person controlling the camera angles and the graphics on screen imo is extremely suspect. Ive watched a ton of video and it always seems the camera doesnt like mike that much.

The damages seem about right to me? Actual losses + 10 million punitive? Plus at least against Postle, no point asking for more than that since he's gonna be judgment proof to nosebleed numbers.
