Joey Cochran is digging in and gaining momentum.

Feels like somebody is gonna have to trick Postle into stealing his own memorabilia back at gunpoint to ensure that justice is served.

Why is this strange?

"Settle" is defendant pays plaintiff some amount of money and plaintiff agrees to drop charges The amount of the settlement is open to negotiation. It doesn't have to match any amount lost or anything like that. It's just the amount that both parties agree on.

This is how most lawsuits end. It's faster / safer / easier / cheaper.

My thinking is he was allowed one night to use there streaming laptop to test his idea/layout for his "dream seat game" or whatever that was.

I imagine it was probably after stream hours and was a relaxed atmosphere between buddies.(think guys in a garage drinking and messing around with cars)

Then Postle went into the OBS and GFX programs and got all the info he needed discretely so that he could run it on his phone later. That's my theory. Obviously though 1 or 2 other people could be in on it. I also think he was friendly enough with them that when Justin was out of town they might have been using a different laptop for the stream and Mike just checked those settings as well

How come Mike was contacted by the lead investigator of the UB scandal and told he was the most profitable player in the history of the site?

I do feel that the “stone theory” I laid out in a previous post could really explain a lot of mikes odd behavior, run good, and clear up a lot of allegations. I think without a smoking gun it’s worth weighing every theory in the meantime.

I'm not sure which is sadder - the initial post, or you coming back less than 2 hours later to bump it.

Hint:

I agree with you, but I think that there is an important distinction to make here. This is not about running well. Running well is when you hit all your draws, or you are on the good end of a lot of coolers. That's not what's happening here. He is not getting any luckier than anyone else.

What's happening here is that he is pretending to look at his cards, while clearly looking down at his phone instead, and then making plays that only make sense if you know your opponents cards. And he is doing this over and over and over again.

The poker theory/state of the games discussion between Polk and Berkey in this live stream is great. Berkey is one of the smartest poker players I've ever heard. Just no bullshit - all substance. I could listen to him talk about poker or tech all day.

Well........ maybe kevin got rake back?

If you’re Postle, do you try and make a deal with the people you cheated or stay strong with your story?

I'm pretty sure that's JFK. How many people are running around there with an unbuttoned suit jacket? I think someone (maybe Veronica) said he does get the live stream.

It does look like JFK, the hair matches. I don't remember JFK having that bad of posture. But that said, I can't confirm. I watched about 20 minutes before and after, and don't see that person again.

Sorry mate; you've added a lot of good posts to this thread, but Lon is not an ESPN A-lister. That $5 million net worth is what ESPN pays annually to their A-listers. I'm sure Lon is smart and has been able to monetize the fact that he is considered "the voice of poker"; and surely the Stones probably doesn't "pay well", but Lon (in the realm of ESPN) is certainly not an A-lister. I agree, he doesn't need the money Stones pays him. Lon is like the world's best bowler sitting at a table with hall of fame NFL players: there are A-listers at that table, but Lon isn't one of them

Some people in this thread seriously waste their time on 2+2.should seriously work for the fbi or Cia or smt like that instead. Image recognition algorhytm for the blue screen is so gangsta. Seriously. Would love to hear more on that, which programming language etc. Pm me pls whoever did it, mad probs.

The detective work done here is quite insane and restores my hope in humanity :x

The people he cheated are the least of his problems at this point. He needs to worry about staying out of prison.

Work for the FBI or CIA?
We got the ****ing DIA here at 2+2!
The Degenerate intelligence agency

I just confirmed that Postle was cheating on July 20th, 2019. The #s on the spreadsheet are wrong though. He initially bought in for $500 but then later added ~$1500. Then, in this video, https://youtu.be/uQujzYc-lrk , you can see he has $1900 but in the very next hand tops off to $3.1k to match Kevin Racks in chips.

Mike is in this game for at least $3200. He finished the game with $4700.

This hand is why he had to add chips in the first place:

42:00 timestamp. Postle looks at his phone for awhile and we can see the screen right before he puts it into his lap. Do you guys see anything besides texting?

We should add who's commentating to the investigation sheet and see if there is a pattern between commentator's and Mike on God mode or not.

I certainly believe that surely not all commentators are in on this, but it might be that some are.

For example when Veronica was commentating , she was rightfully deducing that Mike's style does not make sense. The co-commentator then kinda ignored that dismissed those comments.

Like if there are 2 , somewhat decent commentators, commentating for a certain decent amount of time and seeing Mike God mode then naturally the will strike a conversation about how he can do this, what's going on etc. This never happens.

It could very well be that Mike only God Mode's when a certain, one of a couple certain people are commentating. So that he know's they will overrule any suspicion talk and just throw in a meme and talk about how much of a God he is.

I will not be surprised

Funny hand, Postle's hand is not picked up by the reader. He just happens to try to get his cards to scan for some reason? Not really any evidence because the dealer may have just said something, but its another hand where Postle behaves strangely.

You're joking but in one stream he had a 91% vpip.

It's not the exact same color blue, but the Pineapple OFC app that myself and like 50% of the poker room I play in use 24/7 has a blue background.

Just slightly playing devil's advocate

Okay guys need some help.

At around 1:34:10, Postle opens a program on his phone. His screen goes black and then some symbol appears on the screen. Anyone know what app he's opening? Could be nothing. This is the only app i could identify distinctly from texting.

There's a lot wrong here.

1. Falsely accusing someone of a criminal act is not only generally defamatory, it's defamation per se in most states, meaning you don't have to prove damages. (The exception is some people may be "defamation-proof". So, for instance, falsely accusing OJ Simpson of a crime might not be actionable if his reputation is already as a violent criminal who got a way with murder.)

2. We are not sure that there is even such a thing as an "involuntary public figure". The Supreme Court defined a limited purpose public figure as someone who voluntarily injects themselves into a public issue or concern.

It is THEORIZED that perhaps someone as notable as a Manson might be an involuntary public figure. But the cases are in conflict as to whether that is true, and in general, the rule is you CANNOT be a public figure merely because of what others say about you, absent some sort of voluntary accession to publicity.

3. Postle is a classic limited purpose public figure as to Stones' live streams, because he voluntarily appeared on those streams, gave interviews, tweeted, and otherwise sought publicity as to that limited purpose.

If you want to define Chris Fowler and Kirk Herbstreit and Dick Vitale as their a-list, fine, I agree he's not that.

But he's a very significant player at ESPN. Their WSOP coverage has made them a lot of money and he is the lead voice on those broadcasts for the last 17 years. He makes plenty of money, which was my point.

For all the other sleuths out there, I highly recommend watching Postle videos where he is sitting in seat 1. There are so many clear shots of his phone in seat 1. If you can see his phone screen when he is getting a feed, that is very hard evidence he is cheating.
