Just finished this session. It's extremely interesting. Mike starts the session in the 5 seat. He's very animated, stands up and sits down a few times, hands over the rail, phone on the rail at times, but still looking at his dick at points.

But then at ~2:17:00 someone leaves seat 2, at 2:18:30 Mike switches seats to seat 2. When he moves to seat 2, he's very to himself, he never gets up, and his phone is never seen again. The only time he picks his left hand up is for one hand where he eats and that's it. He plays every single hand but one from this point on. He's absolutely cheating despite losing as he decides to gamble away $743 on the last hand with top set vs. straight vs. combo draw.

Specific hands as there are many spots where he's dick checking and playing perfectly. Don't wanna link all of them but they're at:
~1:36:00, ~2:03:00, ~2:13:00 ~2:17:00, ~2:22:00, ~2:25:00 (esp. funny). I'd stopped documenting at some point here. It's painfully obvious he's cheating.

Joey, as a PLO enthusiast, I encourage you to watch this if you want more evidence.

This is the funnest picture so far. A bomb pot but he's getting a massage so he sneaks a peak. and obviously he plays perfectly by betting fl/tu and x'ing river to pick off a bluff on a good run out.



Check Mike out at the left side of the screen at 2:53:02. He looks down, sees he's dominated by AA and sees one of his Kings is gone. He shakes his head and gets a look of disgust on his face...

Did MP recently delete his facebook page? I can't find it anymore, but his twitter is still up though?

I've always counted on you for good posts and you didn't disappoint on this one. I almost feel bad that I laughed at this pic but it is pathetically funny.

MP is such a scumbag!

I was responding specifically to PiB's post (his belief that there's no way Postle could've played that pair 8x hand the way he did if he had godmode on), and how he easily could've followed the line he did if he knew his opponent's cards. That it's so easy to figure out his reasoning that even a low-level player like me can see it. That's all this reply was - I was flabbergasted at how someone could see that and think it was a defense in any way (though in retrospect, I should've waited before posting the reply - I saw so many of PiB's posts over the next few pages, and most of them were as ignorant as this one that I responded to).

The only times I've seen the stream table used for cash games is after the stream is over and the game is still running.

I do/did like Stones better than the other options around here.

I have no idea why reasonable brain-minded people are in the thread trying to convince complete idiots that Mike cheated

Just ignore these ******s/trolls ffs

Nice research and screengrab. I added a link to your post in the spreadsheet, so whoever's in charge of it will probably change it to "God Mode".
Apparently, Mike went home with $0 at the end of that session. PLO confirmed unbeatable even by superusers.

Oh, he flopped top set queens and lost to J5 making a backdoor flush ha ha ha.

Mike Postle was outed by Jonathan Little In June 2019 on YouTube

Nah, he just changed the video title after the allegations came to light to "God Mode (or Cheating?) by Mike Postle in a $5/$10 Cash Game"

As top commenter on that very video, I can confirm the title was different when I posted a week ago.

How bad at poker did a pro have to be to work as a dealer in the mid-2000s?

Not sure, but if Stones offers free cafe lattes for life, take the settlement!

Very nice find!

On a side note I found it interesting how bad the preflop equity was for AA62hxhh. The aces were gone, 2 of the 6s were gone, one dude folded 4 hearts, and a lot of straight cards were gone too.

My general rule of thumb is to ignore anyone that thinks passive is better.

Your aimless insults lose most of their offensiveness when you're referring to the content contributors as "brain-minded people."

Mike cheated, whether they've convinced you or not.

Nice find man, his expressions/actions during some of these plo streams give him away big time.

You’re unreal, the trillion to 1 poker player virtually never loses, folds top pair or trips? He loves his dick so much that he keeps checking it’s still there! He also spookily knows when the card reader isn’t working? There’s also a bright blue light on one of the few times he shows his dick to the world & there’s a reason for that as his mobile phone has the same software front end which also stops his phone from going blank after 5 minutes like most phones. Jonathan Little picked up on Mikes cheating in June 2019 a couple of times but he let it be as it takes hundreds of hours to collate each hand. He plays near perfect poker on the flop & absurd poker running up a 4 & 5 like you do? Offsuit as well.

He’s 100 percent Cheating & you need to take your tongue out of mike the fake God Mode players backside & get real. We have real statisticians on here who have proved he had more chance of doing a round trip to Mars!!

The Blue light emissions is the colour you get when putting the software used to read the cards & transmit them to the booth & to Mikes Phone which I’m told he’s changed it?!

At first I looked at it from fresh eyes but as a statistician is my findings & also listening to one guy who knows the card reading software like no one else have concluded he’s cheating.

lol nice rant

The guy you are quoting is agreeing that he's cheating and saying the people who say he isn't are trolls.

Maybe you should read better before putting thast much effort into typing furiously

Not very bright are you DonKingFishys

at least he has a guaranteed tilt issue

lol i was literally about to respond to the donkeyfish and figured "let's just hit the refresh button one time"

My question since we have lawyers hanging around here is IF he didn't cheat, what recourse would Postle have for defamation? Was he a non public figure 1. when Veronica tweeted, 2. when joey posted his first video 3. now?

Some good content with the PLO hands posted, thanks. His expression when he sees how dead he is is great

The next hand here is very weird. We see Mike 3bet with 3 2 off suit and call a 4bet bet while his opponent has 99. Mike just lost a big pot before on a bad river. His 32 calls the 4bet and of course he flops 2 pair. Im very confused about this one.

(the graphic is wrong Joe has over 1,000 but graphic shows he has 295.)

Joe raises to 35 in utg +1. Mike 3bets to 145 in the HJ. Joe 4bets to 535. Mike calls with another player to act. Bam mike flops 2 pair on flop and starts laughing.

Triple barrel by mike here and of course he is right. He leads river because it would be too suspect to check call a bluff here.

This clip shows one of the graphics/production guys coming in to adjust the cameras a bit mid stream. Lance or Taylor. (I get them mixed up) This clip just goes to show that they literally can control cameras and camera placement. And my theory is that is one reason they thought they could get away with this. If they know they control the cameras and graphics they all feel like gods getting away with this scheme.

This next clip is subtle and you can see Mike look down inbetween crotch after he bets in a multiway pot. He always picks a great time to double check his hole cards doesn't he, he picks the times when he wants to see or make sure what his opponents have. The funny thing here is he looks down immediately after he bets. He isn't looking at what his opponents do or how they respond to his bet. No he has to look down after the bet to confirm other players holdings. Take a look below.

These are all from the same session All within an hour.

lmao

I would agree with all of this. I used to live in Los Angeles and played on Live at the Bike with my wife a few times until they stopped running lower limit ($2/$3 and maybe $1/$2) games. It was a great way to analyze our play and improve.

The we moved to Monterey. I heard about Stones doing the live stream, and it was even better than LATB: lower limits and the players seemed to have much more fun. Except Stones is a 6-hour round-trip drive for us and they only do the streams on week days; no way we could we pull that off as we both work more than full time. We also have almost no reason to go to Sacramento for anything else.

Except one day I went to Sacramento on a Tuesday night after work because I had meetings with some legislators on Wednesday, and I went to check out Stones. Unfortunately not a stream night, which I was really hoping for, but at least I could play.

Beautiful place, amazing food (I had a massive but cheap plate of spaghetti and meatballs), the players were having fun and were friendly, and the staff seemed great as well; the dealer was joking around with the players but just between hands, not to the point where it affected the game, and he was still dealing better and faster than most dealers, and the floor somehow remembered my name over an hour after she had called it and I had sat down. I was thoroughly impressed.

The only other casino I hear about in that area is Thunder Valley, and that's because I listen to the Ante Up podcast, and they host tournaments there. However, I chose to go to Stones only because of the stream.

So yes, the stream is a huge advertisement for them.

Mike gets owned in this clip.

What is going on in the clip below???
Lance or Taylor (I get them confused) come in with the computer while Justin is at the table to check something with the rfid. Everything on computer is seen, and I think we see a live feed. The commentator makes an odd comment that "That's my computer". Does that mean they shared computers when working? Mobile laptop is where everything to gain access is stored??? This video is important because we see how the poker software works for stones. Check it out below.

IF he didn't cheat, which he did, Mike Postle is a poker cheat and a tax cheat, but if he didn't then he could sue for defamation. You can't just go around accusing people of cheating or other misconduct when it isn't true. Being a public figure wouldn't matter in this case.

For example Lawrence O'Donnell had to retract a statement about Trump recently when lawyers sent him a letter threatening defamation because he was basically making stuff up about Trump getting loans with Russian oligarch co-signers and saying "If true" on national TV. MSM is a joke.

This is Augie.

I already responded you privately, but I'm just going to do it here as well, just to dissuade anyone from wasting time looking at me as a possible suspect. I did not know he was cheating and would never in a million years think to cheat myself.

The rationale for the weird lines I took?

65 vs. TT - He calls uber wide pre. Once he calls my flop bet on a 854r board, then donks the turn when an A hits I honestly feel like I'm behind 2p+, probably worse. If I flat turn, then I have an SPR of 1.3ish on the river, and I know he's capable of overbet jamming. I really didn't want to be in that situation.

A4 vs KT - I put a small 3b in (too small looking back), and completely brick. I had seen him be very sticky, and I didn't want to start building a big pot, with K high on a monotone board.

AQ va J9 - Okay preflop I open limp because I don't want to get 3B and have to fold. I'm very happy taking J9s to a single bet flop. Flop, I figure he's c-betting wide, and decide to apply pressure, he calls I'm not happy, but whatever I've seen him float bottom pair in the past. Once I spike the J and get checked to, I honestly feel I have the best hand. When he check-raise rips, I figure he has minimal showdown value and is trying to end this now, so I snap. And I was wrong.

So there you go. Take what you want from that. I'm happy to help in any way if anyone has other questions.

Just to add, there was one other hand that hasn't been mentioned that he plays with Berkey that I find interesting. It's the KK vs. AQ hand, where he check calls the whole way on a pretty safe board. Can't remember the time stamp, I have it annotated elsewhere.
