Whereas I thought it was more likely that Justin was incompetent rather than complicit, I've always thought that it's more likely than not that a tech was involved.

I was hopeful we'd be able to get "timecards" to be able to correlate who was working the during the sessions where Postle's physical mannerisms, playstyle, and results all look suspicious. Maybe if we did, we'd find that certain technicians weren't working on nights Postle was conspicuously absent from larger, more profitable $5/$10 streamed games against the same player pool.

I was hopeful we'd be able to get cell phone records and interview employees. Maybe if we did, we'd find that Postle was friends with a certain technician before the cheating began.

I was hopeful we'd be able to get bank statements. Maybe if we did, we'd find that a certain technician went from struggling to get by to somehow putting a downpayment on a house, despite the stream shutting down and no longer having that income.

Yes as we can read here Postle everyone would like to play Postle in warmly, friendly homegame fashion. Don't pretend to be stupid Ingram.

Ingram is PLO expert. And now our new, messiah Phil Galfond is going to explain to us why the way he things about NL is the only way to heaven. Man who clearly have no clue about NL these days and have not been playing in 15 years. But have big time value to pretend that Run It Once is way to go for everyone, and 100$/month for him is how it should go.

It's beyond stupid, that still there is no actual numbers out how much Postle won and even if it's more than you can win by running good.

And then Postle somehow have been 15 years small /middle stakes live poker pro, but, as common wisdom here says is -200bb/100 loser. Where his money have come? Why is man so ******, that he plays daily 15 years losing poker?

Ingram = money whore. Galfond = money whore. There are your gods.

Two years gone, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd still no progress at all in the only question that is relevant. Postle cheated: so how did he do that? Nothing beyond wild stupid speculations. Using names of course, bc those are not real human beings and making money accusing they are cheaters without evidense is, of couse, totally ok.

You would really need the tech to talk but with NDA's they probably can't. Without their cooperation they are of no value.

On Bart Hanson's latest youtube video, he relates the Mike structured his cash outs in an illegal way. Maybe this is a way to get the IRS involved. Apparently JFK knew this was going on, and it would be easy to trace.

Who changed the graphics? JFK? Or some other unknown person or people working in the tech booth?
To answer your question simply, it was someone in the tech booth. However, if you read my post on this issue this actual hand doesn't prove anything as their was a culture of this behavior before (tech changing the cards to something that made more "sense" without knowing the actual holdings) because their were so many complaints from players that their cards showed up wrong in big pots.

its possible at some point later on he passes this risk off to someone else who feeds him the data instead of watching it live himself.

because stones is incompetent / negligent they do not keep logs or restrict access to the booth, and once accusations are made the camera is removed and the phone is wiped clean.
It was established long ago that the software has a feature that allows the graphic feed of the cards to be streamed to any windows media client that connects to the server running the software.

Timestamp for that? Why are they not going to tell that to IRS. And why not first tell them, before social media? To try second time mess it up so that there is no evidence bc information is out there before any authority knows it? How stupid is that.

Thanks for posting. I've not seen that hand / hasn't been one of the big ones talked about, but well explained by Doug - 8 or a Q can turn it into a very profitable run out.

Or? Hit top pair and fold to a $50 bet? Come onnnnnnn.

I agree with your analysis that he makes very very fishy plays. The issue is all of his fishy plays seem to work out. With the kinds of bad fundamental plays he makes, there should be countless examples of him bluffing into the nuts, hero calling against the nuts, etc. The whole argument against postle is in the entirety of his hands, not in any one specific play. I'm sure any hands in isolation, another fish has made a similar play. All of the analysis is in the context of him being one of the biggest winners of all time live (in terms of bb/100). If he was a losing player, nobody would think twice about these plays, because, as you stated, that's how fishy players play. For example, I've never won allin preflop with 54o for >100bb, and I'm sure lots of fish have. The issue: how is he winning overall while making these terrible plays, and how are all his terrible plays so well timed?

Congrats on an utterly stupid post. Truly.

Just the suggestion that Galfond or Ingram are money whores shows how clueless you are and suffering from an advanced case of the dumb, confirmed by the rest of the nonsense you wrote.

I am not saying this did not happen but it is nonsensical. I have never seen an NDA/confidentiality agreement on discovery during litigation (that was not a class action) that would preclude an attorney from sharing the information with his clients and experts.

EternalRaise. Can't wait for them to get blasted here and have another brand new account posting in this thread.

At the end of the day, anyone who knows poker, knows he cheated....Will it ever be proved? Unlikely unless someone comes forward and talks. Does going through all the streams to identify the exact money won matter? Not really, but maybe someone will catch something that was missed before in how he cheated. Justin will never fold in his stance no matter what Galfond and co analysis brings up win rate wise.

Still really hard to determine if Justin was in on it or is just really that incompetent of a human being....50/50.

Why isn't Postle out playing if he's innocent, it's his sole source of income and he's been at the top of the game for 15 years?

Veronica has nothing to do with me calling Justin (or now you) an incompetent human being....but hey, that's normally what people of a low IQ do.....deflect to someone/something else. Carry on with your day.

Mike, imagine if you were smart enough to lose once in a while when cheating and not make it so obvious? (and no I am not talking about -$30 here or -$200 there, I am talking about dropping 2Gs every few sessions) You're life would be a whole lot better right now.

Thanks for your response. My words were probably not warm enough but I henpeck type on an iPad for most of my responses. I thought your video was the best of those on the internet that provide a condensed summary of the Postle cheating hands. I think your categorization of the hands by type made a most compelling argument.

I would say there is a 99% chance that he would not have seen these hands folded.

Also when the actual decision needs to be made the graphics show him at 42% vs the other hands and I am assuming that it is not taking into account the folded. The equities I displayed don't account for dead cards because in reality we don't know what the dead cards are.
You may be correct. Watching the video again, he may have missed the early folds and simply saw the 3rd king folded by XX and gone for it. But I hate the proposition that he must have missed or not been paying attention to hole card information on garbage preflight hands then claiming he only called because he had the other hole card information. And, he actually did have incentive to watch the early discards as he was straddling the pot to 45.00.

I just think from a evidentiary standpoint, you should attribute knowledge of all the hole cards if you hold this hand up as evidence of cheating. It looks like the equities still favor him even with the two mucked 4s because of the mucked k.

Yeah, I saw the k folded too.
