thanks saved me the bother of mentioning that
Maybe he's saying Postle borrowed an android phone, that occured to me too.
At least he agrees with me that VLC media player might also work.

I used to see him all the time there. Even in non stream games. Always been an old iphone. Claims he won't upgrade because he barely uses the one he has.

Yeah that's a good point. And those are just the addons that are caught on camera. His winnings are definitely inflated. Maybe even Mike Postle's number of 125k is more accurate.

He wasnt using an old iphone as far as i can tell post July 18th 2018. Did you watch any of the videos?

The phone that Postle is holding here looks bezel-less.
Old iPhones have bezels, explain that.

Congratulation with making joke of the year! Have never seen anyone as obsessed with his phone as Mike Postle is.

It's also weird to act like we're sitting down to eat dinner when we have no idea how to clean the fish. Of course Postle cheated and of course his opponents sustained injury as a result. But there are still myriad problems with establishing causation and measuring damages even under the preponderance of evidence standard, which is why the legal system generally takes a caveat emptor stance as far as gambling situations.

Could very well be. The $250-300k number got thrown out with the assumption that rebuys and add ons would be immaterial. That was before it was widely understood that people could add on to equal the chip leader. And there are now about 750 posts on statistics based on bad data. As my stats professor used to say: garbage in, garbage out.

Rebuys are accounted for in the main spreadsheet people reference. The guy who made it explicitly states this. In fact, he says that he's probably understating Mike's winnings because he takes great care to be conservative in his estimates. He even visually checks the physical chips to ensure accuracy.

Mike already tried this defense by claiming that the people tracking this are lazily going off of the chip counts on the stream graphics. That's just straight up false, maybe deliberately so.

AND, even if your strawman defense were correct and Mike's estimated winrate was off by half, it's still well into GOD territory (IE, mathematically impossible)

Nice try though.

Crazy to think:

This is only the second biggest conspiracy/crime in history to have a guy named JFK in it somehow

His numbers are inflated because he has to split it with his accomplice.

Doesn't sound like I've watched as many hours of the feeds you have, but I've seen Mike likes to use his phone in them. A lot.

Sounds like you don't think he cheated? Have you had a look through some of the key bits of info in this thread?

I agree he cheated. I agree the evidence is overwhelming. I think that the spreadsheet is off on how much he won. And it’s not conservative. Does not behoove us to keep propagating bad data.

Two other people who independently reviewed the streams used the same methodology and accounted for add-ons. Someone else already explained this to you and linked you this video of them sharing exactly how they arrived at their figures:

Are you just willfully ignoring it?

Hi Mike!

Yeah that doesnt mean he's not wrong. I also doubt the ever growing winnings of Mike Postle. 250k, 300k, 350k. Next thing we hear it's going to be a million. And how is he being conservative with his estimate? What does that even mean? Accounting for rebuys that he doesn't even see?

Look at the spreadsheet for 12/17/18. ZERO ADDONS. When we can see three times at least that he has added on. How is that being conservative??

Are you?

Train on Thirst Lounge... throwing down some amazing commentary on his OWN play.... no fanboys asking any Postle questions in the chat unfortunately.... (I'm sure you'll get banned if you try....)

Last time I posted on this site was May of 2013 when we were being ripped off by Lock Poker. After being scammed and robbed by Fulltilt and then Lock poker I just walked away from anything involving poker online, including his site.

I've been playing a bit live the last few years and love it.

Truly sad if these allegations are true and the amazing investigation of 2+2ers sure point to this being true.

Really sucks when the few out there like Jen Larson, Russ Hamilton, fulltilt crew, Mike Postle, etc... are such lowlife scumbags and ruin the game for many of us.

I was actually planning on playing at Stones soon, looks like now is better than the last year and a half ��

Makes me laugh how all these Postle supporters just happen to be new accounts, come on guys try and sell us a bridge in Brooklyn instead.

It's understandable that such may be the case.

However, that does not mean that posts from new accounts should automatically be dismissed.

Post content is key, not post count.

Who's supporting Mike Postle? Me and sirdogstar (2003 account)? No I think we are just playing devil's advocate as far as the accounting of his winnings go. Clearly it's inflated and not a conservative estimate.

Just watch the video RichardNaugan linked with the timestamps, then check the spreadsheet and you can see Postle adding on ~2k thats unaccounted for. It doesn't help to have bad information regarding the case. That's going to help Mike Postle in court.

And it may be the case that RichardNaugan is actually Mike Postle or his friend. I don't know, nor do I care but the evidence he presents does show that the accounting of Mike Postle's winnings are inaccurate and inflated.

And how exactly did the person who came up with the spreadsheet use a conservative estimate anyway? What was his method of being conservative?? Accounting for addons he didn't see?? Doesn't make sense.

Yeah good point, I just meant there are accounts turning up that were just created and have less than 10 posts and are Postle supporters, just saying.

I wonder who has the burden of proof for the win rate and addons.

If the defense proves one or more of VerStandigs accounts of Postles winings are off, will the court find that they are all potentially wrong? If so, whos numbers do they even go by, Postle can't just throw out a single number and hope it sticks, he has to give exact numbers, which, as a professional poker player, he should have exact dates, times and locations. Plus, hes contradicted himself with his win rates in the past as he is on record for saying hes had a win rate of 900bb/100 on a tweet pre crotchgate.

So I don't think it will go down in court the way you guys are describing. The plaintiffs will have access to Mike Postles records and can cross reference them with their own and object to any misfilings.

btw, the DOJ is on the case and Im pretty sure Postle is going to have the IRS so far up his ass hes not going to want to lie about any of this, at least not in court since things have gotten way more serious since the Matusow interview. And if he is stupid enough to lie, he'll get caught and get doubly ****ed. I mean, hes already gone on record for saying hes hidden his internet and casino winnings to avoid paying taxes, is he really dumb enough to lie while under investigation? probably lol

So which is it? You’ve seen him “all the time” or 2-4 times? You sure know a lot about his phone.

NOPE!!! But you are correct that number is WAAAAAAAAAAYYY off! It's off because it's not taking into account the money during all those sessions that he steals from players and ends up spreading around the game via blinds/rake/hands he folds that run out bad for him. You're only going by his "cash out" at the end of the game then that number doesn't even come close to the actual amount that Postle stole from players.

And the lawsuit amount - the tens of millions - is inflated because they are factoring in a more likely out-of-court settlement for a lot lower that will make the players whole in the end.

Mike Postle said on the Mike the Mouth podcast that his actual winnings are closer to 125k which is still insanely high for the stakes he was playing. But it's also more realisitic and exponentially less likely that he cheated from a mathematical perspective. Instead of being 1/atoms in the universe or whatever its more like 1/atoms in the milky way galaxy likely he didn't cheat.

Mike the Mouth did a great job by getting Postle to do an interview because now the plaintiffs have evidence that they can use against Postle. As far as that spreadsheet is concerned though if they bring it up then Postle's defense can easily poke holes in the numbers which is going to be bad for the plaintiffs. It doesn't help them.

That's not how it works. You go by how much he cashed out minus buyon and rebuys to calculate winnings. We're not calculating how much he stole, that's inane. I'm sorry I even responded to you, you clearly won't get it.
