Good post. I noticed how religious/occult his name was from the getgo but just never thought to bring it up. Was wondering if anyone has ever done a background check on him to verify that he isn't some sort of career conman with multiple aliases or something.

I mean, "Michael Postle" seems like a secret identity name for a Catholic themed super hero.

Is his middle name "Christian" or "Lucius" or something like that?

I'm with ArtyMcFly and rakemeplz. This not only doesn't prove Scott is in on it, I think it clears him. It makes it pretty clear that Scott is not aware at this point that Mike is cheating. What -- do you think he slipped up and accidentally admitted Mike could see the cards? The way he said it, it's obvious that it was a comment he would make only if he had no such suspicions. I was certain that you must have thought Brent was Scott until I saw your last post.

When I watched it, I thought it implicated Brent if anyone because, as rakemeplz also noticed, he became nervously quiet and looking like he just wanted to move off discussion of the hand right after Scott made his comment about Mike being able to the hands.

exactly! the exact opposite. If Scott was in on it then he deserves an oscar too!

Listening this.

Claim in that stream:
"Postle played only in stream games"

Not true at all. Postle is a professional poker player who have played long before any stream games. And still plays on and off stream. Or is there any evidence to state anything else?

Just people close to Mike that have said since he started appearing on stream he was very rarely playing off-stream.

Stream have been on air like 18 months? A few times per week? Or am I off here?

12 hours a week according to veronica

very interesting thx!

plaintiffs vs postle; kings casino llc D/B/A stones ( what does it stand for?, so it is the Kings Rozvadov?)

funny is that postle is easily the best player out of the 25 plaintiffs with the best results before the aligations.

yes, and the comentators say they stay out of mikes play when they and him played Off STREAM bc hes too good

In fact, Postle's win totals for 2018 and 2019 ARE determined including add ons. You'd know the methods used and know that if you'd taken the time for due diligence and read and listened to the methodology used to generate his estimated win rates. You'd also know that his win rates have been estimated over a range of buy-ins, and so take into consideration the size and stack depths of the Stones streams. As you clearly haven't done any reading or listening, all of your comments and hence you lack credibility.

Please disregard if you are just asking about Mike's timeline on the stream, but Veronica said on Doug Polk's interview with her that the stream started at the end of 2014 or beginning of 2015.

Not this **** again... His glasses are blue and you can even see Harlan looking at Mike's phone (27:40 to 27:47).

One issue I thought kind of funny... If the Stones Live lawyer who is leading their investigation into this matter actually finds Stones Live negligent than he can probably not release that information using the attorney/client privilige reasoning, .

Other than all the books (five maybe six), talk shows (including his own) & TV appearances as an analyst...dunno...all that money must suck, I guess.

It's not how many times you get knocked down that matters; it's how many times you get up. Somebody famous said sumink like that once.

Apologies for the thread drift, I'll get my coat.

I see a trend now...Christian is the name of another cheater- Christian Lusardi - the Borgata chip counterfeiter.

watch from 2:38-3:30
Bernie Madoff whistleblower sounds like hes talking about Mike Postle

Well there you have it, all hands are stored in permanent DB, I was worried theyd only store it for a single session. CSV can be turned into an excel spreadsheet or consumed by a program.

Not really. The attorney was hired for a non-legal role/task: privilege doesn't apply. In any event, he was hired to investigate and (most likely) produce a report on the findings. The report belongs to Stones, they will have absolute discretion whether to release the report or not. Given how Stones publicly announced the investigation, it would be silly not to release it when it's completed. In fact; even if there is the smallest sliver of evidence of illegal activity they will probably forward it to law enforcement.

Those files are not at all to be trusted.

Happens all the time in live streams that all in situation player have like 30% bigger stack that what is shown in screen.

Results that can be trusted are all of Mike Postles bet sizes, calling sizes, actual chip stack sizes, actual hands (except the 98 spades hand lol) by looking at the video. And those of us that see how blatent his cheating can see that. Those files do provide a rough estimate. Sometimes graphics show less chips than what Mike or other players have as well, or in other words 30% less than what he actually has so it works both ways.

Maybe im slightly off here but it seems the last couple pages are being derailed by posters who are insisting that “if we dont know the exact actual amount that he won then he must be innocent”.

What if I told you that the exact win rate doesn't matter?

a) The dramatic change in behavior July 18th that coincided with a dramatic change in results.

b) Numerous occasions where Postle prompted other players to rescan their cards as if he knew the live feed had not picked them up.

c) The visible frustration of the PLO hand were the live feed was only picking up two cards.

d) The changing of the cards hand. How did anyone know the cards of mucked unseen hand were wrong in the middle of the hand?

e) The ability to shove when the opponent was weak, fold when strong time after time after time never getting caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

f) Almost identical hands played completely differently when the opponent was strong versus when they were weak. Example after Example. Never wrong.

g) The strange staring at the crotch, phone off the table behaviors, never exhibited in previous losing sessions.

h) The booth interview where he seemingly knows when and where the live stream cut off and came back on.

Notice not one single bit of these pieces of evidence have the slightest thing to do with exactly how much he won, how often he reloaded, did he rebuy, how much he added on, how much is exact win rate was, or if he tipped the waitress or not.

Doing all of the above, it doesn't even matter if he lost money overall, it doesn't matter what his exact to 6 decimal places win rate was, these all indicate that he was aware of the live stream in real time. He cheated.

My main point is that it is not at all that uncommon even for breakeven player to have results Postle have. Ok over all stakes probability for such results are higher if you are at least somewhat winning player. And that who claim otherwise either do not understand game they are playing, or don't understand statistics.

I have master's degree from theoretical physics, so could be easily be my bias that I don't understand how mathematically illiterate most people even in poker are.

Show me a breakeven player to have Postle results. Just one. Thanks. Should be easy since it is not at all uncommon.

Oh, wait. His results don't matter. He cheated. Whether he actually won or lost in total doesn't matter. He cheated.

I have redone the win rates at $125k, all the way from 5/5 to 100/200 where he becomes a mere mortal good reg with 6bb/100 hands.

It's obsurd to suggest he isn't cheating by debating how much he stole. With his playing style, you can not be a winning player, reach or exceed 10bb/100, let alone win a godly 94% of your sessions over such a long period. Using the fact that addons are unaccounted for to debate how much money the plaintiffs should be awarded is another story. But maybe that might be better left to VerStandig and his team, since they have access to discovery that we do not. If that info is somehow made public, we could use that data to help further.
