Yes.

I wonder if the nonprofit he was championing could benefit from this posthumously.

It would certainly be a great lever to lean on in court, right? "Your honor and gentlepeople of the jury, he also felt the need to exploit a man about to die ..."

Not supposed to. If you don't know if he's liable on count 2, but you think he is liable on count 1, you don't need to allege him as a Doe. If you amend later to make him a defendant on count 2, that amendment relates back to the date of the Complaint.

A Doe defendant is someone who is NOT named by his or her real name in the Complaint (and therefore not within the relation back doctrine). So you need to name the person as a Doe so that when you establish the person's name, you can amend to state the true name of the defendant and get credit for the earlier filing date with respect to any statutes of limitations.

I cited the law on this somewhere upthread.

My theory is that the Complaint was a press release, not a serious legal pleading, and they wanted to air their allegations against JFK in the press without committing to the claim that he was the person who was the inside man, in case it turned out he wasn't. So they did it this way.

In hindsight, the way to approach this would have been to ambush his ass when you knew he was in god mode. Would have been a bit hard to to do it, not knowing who he was working with on the inside.

Get a seat next to him and have some sort of camera to hold under the table at his crotch. Then give him a little hat flick and let it go flying off.

Then have a scene like in rounders when they got caught cheating at the police game.

Up until now Mike did not want to release this information thus killing his future action.
Mike has been a professional poker player and known crusher of online and live games pre black friday.
He won over $100,000.00 in one tourny. He defeated Tom Dwan on the virtual felt.
He knew he could beat this game with Drinking $5-$10 regs for a good win rate.
Then he added another dimension to his game, on watching an online video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-osZbxq4Mc

In this episode a little old lady who has never played poker before is taught the basic rules and then live reads and within a week is destroying top professionals with some amazing calls, crushes with total soul reading skills.

When Mike saw this he knew if he added this heightened state of awareness into his already outstanding game it would be unbeatable.
He worked on this and through learning techniques was able to trigger this high level of awareness, he could pick up the slightest movement in his opponents and read weakness or strength.

He would trigger this by putting his chin to his chest this was just the trigger movement that he had chosen, he thought it was better than something obvious like finger to the forehead.

He realized that when other players were on stream that they were much more likely to being susceptible to giving away tells as being on stream added a consciously or subconsciously level of nervousness to his opponents.

So the mix of drinking, being on stream, recreational players, Mikes higher skill level, working on his reads at home on the previous streams. The gulf in class was immense this explains a high win rate. He was trying to play all of this down as not to kill his action.

Whilst this might look like cheating it was just a combination of things amazing to most that is why the programme above but really these techniques combined together with a loose low stakes game can achieve great even unbelievable results.

These points will explain all of the prosecutions allegations anything else is purely circumstantial.

Obviously this has let the cat out of the bag and Mike wont be able to use these techniques in the future.

I think this will address most peoples concerns and at the very least raise a doubt in the minds of the non poker playing jury members.
Aspiring prosecution attorneys can have some fun debunking this defence.

When everything gets sorted out, the failure of Stones in the initial investigation (for whatever reason it happened, and we all have our theories here!) is going to be one of the most consequential things in the whole matter.

Because what should have happened after that report was a careful review of all the video of Postle- which would have revealed both that he was making plays that at least implied possible knowledge of hole cards, and that he was looking at his phone in his crotch all these times.

And then after that, in the next session Postle plays at, the investigator simply watches him and when he starts checking his phone in his crotch, walks up casually behind him and asks Postle to show him the phone. Or, alternatively, a hidden camera is installed under the table that can shoot shots of Postle's phone between his legs.

A casino that investigated seriously and thoroughly (as Stones, of course, infamously claimed it did) would have easily caught Postle.

I am one of the many you are referring to. I have been a member for over 10 years but rarely post. I am not a Pro or anyone with big results or a big name. I just enjoy playing poker as many out there do and I read a lot of NVG posts and enjoy the content. I am a recreational live player for over 36 years who played at Binion's Horseshoe during the 80's, the Mirage poker room during the 90's and in most of South Florida's poker rooms the past 15 years or so. Cheating has always been an issue in poker and I have felt at times while playing something funny was going on but always ended up either leaving or losing my stack and chalking it up to playing badly or getting unlucky. This Mike Postle cheating scandal fascinates me for many reasons and the fact that is went on for so long while being streamed live just boggles my mind. The guy had the balls to cheat players for on a live stream for what looks like hundred of thousands of dollars and the scary part is that had he dumped some chips and made some hero calls when behind and actually lost more often this may have gone on for years to come. This story is bringing out many of us who have played live for years to post a comment because we can all relate to those players at Stones Gambling Hall who had to leave the poker room on many occasions thinking WTF just happened. I hope some others out there agree with me.

He scoops all the chops. Of course he does.

Also worth to look at.

You know, a second thought on this - it looks like he pulls the phone out, then in the top left navigates away from a text thread or an application and most definitely held the phone at an angle the cameras could have seen for about a half a second.

I'd be interested to know what was on his screen right then.

Yes and with technology getting better by the day, there has to be zero tolerance and enforced to set example. Hopefully justice prevails one way or another. Losing sucks already, to a cheat is just on another level to me.

If it's between his legs, think of the angle required to see it, you'd have to be literally next to him or standing to see it. Sitting, the curvature of his legs will hide the screen easily.

There was a post awhile back showing Justin coming up next to him and he scooted in and got very nervous, for this exact reason. His method of cheating was likely active and he was on the verge of getting discovered. If Justin was in on it, he wouldn't have moved. Perhaps evidence JFK is only culpable to the point of being negligent in security of the game.

I hope Alisha is there to dance if the outcome of the lawsuit is successful.

Dude I am Joey Cochran, have you not been keeping up?

I think it's more important to establish that Postle and Smith had a friendly relationship. This little chat (from January 2018) happened over six months before the cheating started.
At some point, the date when Taylor was trained how to operate the Action Tracker/RFID software might surface. I have reason to believe that JFK wasn't taught how it worked until April 2019.

Then sir explain to me how mike always had his phone on the rail in pre July 2018 streams with similar lineups as streams after july 2018 streams. After July 18th 2018 his phone was tucked far into crotch area under the table. Why didnt he have his phone in the crotch pre july 2018?

Why after july 2018 did mike always make the prefect decisions while playing a style that will lose a normal poker player money? The placement of his phone is the answer. Pre july 2018 mike made normal plays a person without knowledge of cards would make.

Below is a stream pre july 2018. Mike plays well. But he doesnt play like he does when his phone is in his crotch and he can see the cards. He doesnt play as many hands as he would in streams after july 2018 even though these lineups (players) (opponents) are similar.

WHOOOOOOOOOOSH.

Right over the head.

That sounds exploitative as well.

This was about the time Mike started to use his heightened awareness including the trigger of the chin to the chest he used a image to send him into this state. obviously he didn´t want other players to see this in action thus blowing his cover.

Lay person here, so asking with an open mind about the answer...

In the complaint it SEEMS like they know the inside man, but do not want to name him/her....Does this take away from "justin is guilty"?

Also there is NO mention of Taylor in the complaint at any point. Is this to set him up as John Doe 1?

There are complaints specifically against Justin.. is this why he is names as a separate entity on the complaint form?

Why is Veronica "only" seeking $1,000 in damages and why is it so specifically mentioned that she does NOT want this..does NOT want that and also does NOT want the other?

Could the plaintiffs claim that losses, even though estimated at $250,000.00 could in fact be a lot higher as the money lost to Mike could not be used to win against other players? So for instance.. i lose $1000 to Mike which i can now not double up against XXX when i go all in, meaning my lose is not $1000 but $3000??

Everyone who says "250k isn't that much when split up between several accomplices"

WHO SAYS THEY SPLIT IT EVENLY?! Mr. EGO mike was probably like "im doing all the work, you're just feeding me the stream/cards or whatever"

He probably gave his inside men like 5-10k each when all was said and done.

There's no way to know unless someone talks.

This doesn't make a whole lot of sense - about Lon.

Sure maybe he has a 6 figure job with ESPN announcing WSOP.

And maybe he also has free time at other points around the year.

Ok, he's got 5 million, that's cool.

Have you ever heard of this super cool thing though, called "even more money?"

It's pretty legit, I recommend you try it sometime.

This may be true, but proves nothing. I was ranked as the literal #1 tourney player on OPR for an entire year on pokerstars and I'm likely not +EV in cash games in 2019. Poker has gotten alot tougher.

Anyone who played with mike while on the show has lost money to him even if they won. Put it this way if i played two sessions with mike while he was in god mode but still won 500 dollars over those two sessions how much money did i lose in value because one person at the table knew the cards? My point is even if i won money i still lost alot more because one person is making godlike plays and cheating by looking at phone.

If i ended a session breakeven while god mode mike was enabled how much money did i lose? I mean thats out of my legal understanding but i would argue that i lost alot of money because he was cheating even though i broke even over the course of a 4 hour session. Not sure how that would fly in court however.

We can only guess as to why they pleaded the way they did.

As for damages, you can only get lost profits if you can prove them with reasonable specificity, and you can almost never get lost profits based on lost money, because the theory is you can always borrow money if you want to take advantage of an investment opportunity.

Very interesting new twitter post by veronica. More evidence... read the thread by JD terhart

The key fob and/or external devices besides phone are back in action!

What the hell is mike putting into his pocket here.

The phone placement as the smoking gun can be explained in 2 parts. Firstly, Mr Postle is a regular sports bettor and is constantly requiring updates on his bets via his mobile phone apps. Secondly, as a courtesy to other players, Mr Postle decided to locate the device more discretely so as not to cause a distraction. There are certainly occasions when he is looking at his phone in his lap but there are far more when he is simply peeling his cards, giving the false impression of looking into his lap.

As far as making good poker decisions is concerned; Mr Postle is a winning professional and as such regularly adapts his style of play depending on table dynamics. A sample size of many hundreds of thousands of hands would be needed to provide proper statistical analysis of playing style and outlying results.

These accusations against Mr Postle are all circumstantial and his actions easily explained as perfectly reasonable and innocent, as any Jury will find. The blatant defamation of his character most certainly is not. Details of his counterclaim will follow in due course.

Is this one posted yet?
This is one of the most rediculous hands i ever saw.

The odds of him not cheating are exactly one googol factorial, squared, factorial to one.
