Nobody really thinks she is other than MP and Justin. They are now posting on here with their latest ID trying to rewrite the narrative is that she went public with MP cheating not because he actually was, but because she was getting jealous of his popularity. Which is utterly ridiculous considering all the proof that has come out that he was cheating. That is why I keep posting that whether someone believes this narrative of Amy is irrelevant to the fact that MP did actually cheat.

So if anyone really wants to entertain the "OMG what a terrible person, she invited people to a game with a known cheater" narrative, you'd first have to know when her suspicions first began, when they grew, and when she approached JFK about them. Yes, she invited people like Berkey and Soto AFTER she questioned the game's integrity (those guys talked about that on the S4Y show). Yes, she's apologetic for that. I still don't see how it makes her suspicious of anything, though.

As for this:



Sure it does. He analogized how long it takes in a slow, gradual process before someone actually acts. You said before that English isn't your first language, so this might be something getting lost in translation. (But you'll have to explain to me what schizophrenia has to do with anything about his post.)
Schizophrenic is the sense that he’s delusional. Let me put it this way, if a friend of mine invited me to a game with someone he knew was cheating, then I’d say he’s in on it. Maybe she was and went public after she got cut out of the deal. Hmmmmmm
The plot thickens

Knew is the operative word. She didn't KNOW. She THOUGHT he might be. Are you that dense?

Is there any question? He's been spoon fed various explanations even a 5yr old can understand but keeps repeating what he's already said. Learning has not been achieved. Hence my description of mentally impaired is not an insult, but just an observation.

I know there is freedom of speech, but a comment like this makes one regret people like you can say nonsense like this.

I hadn't seen Veronica interviewed since the story broke, at that stage she was very focussed and rational. I have just seen her new interview on Run it Once, and she is so angry and bitter, such a change in her, as obviously she has so much personal stuff going on in this case it is overwhelming, all the more so when the villains have got away with their crimes.

So before making amateur dramatic stupid suggestions like she was in on it (if you had any common sense you would realise if she was in on it and blew the whistle on her co-conspirators they would then implicate her, so for her own self protection she would not have blown the whistle if she had been involved) watch that Rin it Once interview and then still see if you think she was part of the plot.

Alrighty guys, please keep it civil in here so we don’t need the temp-ban hammer.

There’s no reason to get so worked up that you feel the need to keep repeating yourself over and over again or start personal attacks. Also a friendly reminder that if someone annoys you, this forum provides the option to put posters on an ignore list.

That's true. So you can ignore everyone that annoys you except for Mason and me. (and other mods/admins)

Yeah, it's really weird, especially since it feels like I've responded to more of his posts in this thread than anyone else. Seriously, I decided to become the "obsessed" one for about a half-hour and went looking through his brief history on this site.

As you are aware, he first accused you of following him "from thread to thread" early yesterday: https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/s...ostcount=11720. I didn't even think much about it at the time, but I've since learned you two haven't cross paths much, and I never see any other instances when you reply to any of his posts in a demeaning manner.

KossuKukkula poked some fun at his obvious jokey claims of turning down an appearance on High Stakes Poker and his former involvement with Mi6. https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/s...&postcount=108

gobbledygeek described him as "trolling" a Bart Hanson thread: https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/s...2&postcount=10

Oddly, I didn't find his activity in that Bart Hanson thread to be out of the ordinary, which makes me wonder if gobble used a different meaning of the verb "trolling" (like wandering around). Coincidentally, that Bart Hanson thread is one of the few other places where you both have posted, but again, you never respond to any of his posts: https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/1...anson-1778067/.

Two of his other oft-visited threads are the Phil Nagy-Jonathan Little dispute and the Big Brother 22 discussion, and I don't see anyone responding negatively to anything there.

Meanwhile, no one commented at some opportunities in which they could have: he mentions how muscular he is (looking for advice on some shirts), that he packs heat and brags about being a great shot (oddly, this was in a low-stakes NL strategy forum). Not even responses to asking if Brad Booth was abducted by aliens.

I'm a little intrigued that he said English isn't his first language, and yet at other occasions he claims to be from Cleveland, uses a baseball metaphor in another post and even says "y'all." Sure, it's possible to be an American but claim a different first language, but it's quite rare.

Troll? Nah, I don't think so. A good number of his posts appear to be serious and genuine, regardless of whether or not we agree with him. Then there are strange posts, like the ones referenced above, or the time when he accused another poster of making fun of autism (despite no apparent cause for this concern). Maybe we're catching him at different times in his medication schedule, and your timing just happened to be unfortunate.

EDIT: TIL you can't ignore a mod. I never ignore anyone, but still a fun new fact for me.

So yes, they will have seen him as an action player, as he played such screwy hands, and wanted him in their games for the action, but not noticed he won consistently with the screwy hands.

Then there was the fact there was no hard evidence against him, just the sheer implausability of his streamed results, that no one had noticed.

People had got used to those streamed wins, commentators and players thinking with amusement or amazement he was some boy wonder at poker, "Postle always wins".

I remember a crime story I read, where the puzzle was who did the murder as no one had seen anyone at the house, then it turned out it was someone dressed up as a postman, as nobody paid any attention to such a common sight as a postman. Postle was like that, under the radar, friendly, sociable, not making enemies of the people he won from, so not surprising it took them so long to see there was something wrong.
pretty sure veronica and others called him a "crusher" in streamed and non streamed games stating "he always wins" I wish he'd just come out and explain how he cheated cause it's actually remarkable he got away with it. I'd like to know the details.

Well, I don’t think he got away with too much actually. His name is trash and his ability to earn any money playing poker again is severely compromised.

He is a pathetic criminal mastermind. He should have purposefully spewed off $10k here and there to cover his tracks.

He probably got too caught up in the ‘God’ Postle act and couldn’t let it go.

Second point is moot as he surely didn't have an ability to earn any money playing poker without the cheating in question.

Isn’t that what this entire thread is, speculation? People speculate how they think Postle cheated. He hacked the live feed. Someone with access to the live feed sent him messages through a bone conductor, JFK was in on it, etc. yet no one has any real evidence. No eyewitness accounts, no confessions, no disposed of equipment, etc. So this entire thread is speculation.
And regarding the comment someone made about if she was a part of it, then later turned him in she’d be turning in herself essentially as a co-conspirator. Man, people do stupid stuff like that all the time.

Man, how much time have you invested in stalking me? That really concerns me. I’m a nobody yet you scroll through all my posts and try to figure me out? Clearly you missed the posts in the Trueteller thread. Would give you an indication that I am originally from a Russian-speaking country. Yes, I currently live in Cleveland where I have lived for years.
Fortunately I do pick best with stalkers like you around. Jesus Christ!

Maybe 20 minutes? It was less than one episode of Silicon Valley. It helps that you've only been on the forums for less than a month. And yes, I saw the Russian stuff in the Ivey/Trueteller thread, but it could easily have been Google translate.

Anyway, hardly "stalking." More like basic, cursory research to either support or refute an assertion. (Don't want to be accused of cherry-picking, after all.)
In this case, the assertion was your claim that Spyutastic is following you from thread to thread. In the larger sense, I was also determining if you are, in fact, a troll. Which I don't believe you are, despite what a few others have said.

Nothing unusual in WT doing a little "due diligence" on you, or anybody else. All part of internet forum entertainment...which is ultimately why we are all here.

Some years back that sort of digging around uncovered a troll on 2+2, who had actually made mod status. (some would and still will disagree with the term troll in that instance, but that's just semantics).

I don't know if this guy cheated or not, but if he did, he, his accomplices, and their DNA are filth as far as I concerned.

Veronica Brill had the courage and integrity to speak out, not just for the good of that game, but for the good of THE game. Courage is the most virtuous of characteristics, in a world with so many worms and cowards.

I've met some good people at the tables and of course, the obvious dirtbags and pond scum. Many of them even pretending to be the "Good Guys". Anyone who is critical of her is probably not the type you want beside you in a FoxHole.
