I don't know who James Bord is, but he donated $2k. A few $1k in there as well.

That phone is in a million pieces under 30 feet of refuse at the Sacramento landfill.

Postle was entirely left out of that statement. He isn't mentioned or referenced. The statement is in regards to Stones Casino and JFK, not Postle.

Was a case like this years ago in Australia... he won and was awarded 6 figures + Legal Fees.....

This could get very costly for the defendant's

Pay no attention to Bawsten. His entire posting history is mouthing off about things he is clueless about. He does attempt to sound convincing, but he is a moron and have not seen him accurate on a single thing. He is also a rigtard.

look at some of the names Veronica has retweeted, well known pros... then go look at what they donated....

I wasn't disagreeing with you. Just recognizing there were some larger donations plus Perkins.

Perkins can be the hero the poker world have needed... Such a shame Postle didnt try to get him too

I can't wait until this lawsuit goes into discovery.

Interested in how you think Postle avoids being classified as a public figure, thus raising the bar to success in a defamation case. The discovery on this point alone will be damaging to both him and Stones.

Being upset at Postle is one thing, but the people you should really be angry at are the California Gaming Commission and really the cardrooms. The Commerce, The Bike, Bay 101, M8trix, Lucky Chances etc. They show a total unwillingness to push for protections of game integrity. It's not that they don't have lobbying powers - we've seen them expend a LOT of lobbying effort on trying to take banked games like Blackjack away from the Indian casinos, in direct violation of the democrat voting of California voters. They are willing to spend a lot of money on that out of greed. But as for looking out for poker players, protecting game integrity, that they are willing to spend nothing on.

Ok, what problems have you noticed with game integrity, and what steps have they failed to take or spend on?

Are you lost? Check the thread you're in before writing a response.

The problem we're discussing is the one where a player stole hundreds of thousands of dollars in a crooked California card room game. And they have done absolutely nothing except try to get it brushed under the rug.

If they have the funds and connections to lobby the Cali Gaming Commision and publications like the LA Times about how important it is that they get to run illegal banked games, then they could spend some effort like making a statement that Postle is banned from all California card rooms, contribute to the investigation, invest in technlogy to protect livestreamed games so we can leverage livestreams to grow the game AND have honest games etc. Instead they do nothing. And if you want to pretend like it's because Postle is innocent, and Daniel Negraneau, Doug Polk, Joey Ingram, etc are the guilty ones, then that's a slap in the face to the whole poker community.

Ah yes, I hadn’t directly correlated it to the bat cave yet. I’m sure the impossicheater 2000 would have changed the world if only your pre determined spending limits had been reached. By the way how much inside info are you privy too regarding spending that you are so sure they haven’t. Peace out and enjoy your mask.

If you want some examples of their PR efforts, look at articles they wrote like this:

https://www.latimes.com/business/la-...205-story.html

which is obviously a paid PR fluff piece since it claims players like the current rules and totally disregards the HIGHLY RELEVANT class action lawsuit against Commerce for banning players

https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/3...kjack-1241343/

https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/3...nkers-1662684/

Either LA Times has totally incompetent journalists who don't do Google searches on the pieces they're writing, or it's a PR piece.

Basic research indicates that California cardrooms have spokepeople and lobbyists invested in efforts on this banked game issue. They could issue a ban on Mike Postle in their cardrooms, which would cost them nothing, and which they have no problem doing for players who ask for their legal right to play banker in games like blackjack and baccarat. Yet they haven't done the most simple of actions of just making a statement on the Postle issue. Why? Because they'd rather have it brushed under the rug then spend a modicum of effort showing they care about gaem integrity.

Live at the Bike is probably the best thing to grow poker in the last 10 years, live streams are good for the games, but how can we do livestreams when the cardrooms will not only allow cheating, they'll stand by and do nothing when it's revealed?

You drop into the biggest 2p2 thread of all time about a cheater then ask ask for context on why game integrity is relevant. I have no idea what impossicheater, bat cave, or masks have to do with anything - you seem totally incoherent.

Mouthing off about things Ive literally never been wrong about.

Youre just butt hurt cause I go at your shills in the rigtard thread and expose their logic for the **** that it is. I question, for a living. Some people dont like to give direct answers, thats where it becomes fun. But since your entire existence is revolved around running or at least being active on an online forum you'd understand how fun it is to push buttons.

Still waiting for those sources from Monteroy.

Postle wins this suit 100% of the time. Poker players, have no idea whats going on here. Im going to absolutely LOSE it, when all this research comes back from going through every stream and every action trying to get accurate stack counts and win loss statements, when postle won grossly less than stated and then everyone shuts the **** up.

What prior criminal case are you talking about? Show me the statement exonerating Postle.

Don't you have some notecards and letters to be writing instead of bringing your nut low posts to this thread? lol

That's funny because I was thinking exactly the opposite last night, was going to post about it, but then held back.

Now, it's been a few months since I've watched any of the Ingram YouTube stream videos where he was analyzing all of the Stones stream broadcasts, but from what I recall Joey was always very careful about not directly saying Mike Postle 100% for sure cheated.

He joked around a lot about "god mode" and "CTO", but I think he knew that he would be prime for a possible lawsuit down the road, and was extremely cautious about not committing libel and saying "Mike Postle cheated!" He always left open the 1 in a million chance that Mike was THAT good.

I think Joey should, and will, come out of this new lawsuit unscathed.

I could be wrong.

So you'll have no trouble giving me 5/1 on how much?

Checking in on the donator list to Brill's legal defense is quite interesting. Peter Svidler, the world's 25th ranked (and 8-time Russian champion) Chess player donated $200 just now

It's great to see the poker community coming together to help one of their own. Maybe Joan Rivers was wrong?

I wonder if the process server for the countersuit will be able to locate Postle's trailer. I guess it'll be the one with the crushed beer cans outside and the crushed dreams inside.

I think he will lose if it gets to trial because it will be a matter of public concern (security at a casino and on TV), and he will have to prove falsity and malice. If its a matter of public concern, calling out Postle would be the same thing as calling out Trump or any other public official.

Steps to Winning Defamatino claim

1. Step One – Prove a False Claim of Fact was Made.

The first step for a defamation claim is to point to a very specific claim, and to be able to conclusively assert that it’s a factual assertion as opposed to an opinion statement. The difference between an opinion and a fact often comes down to a case-by-case analysis of the publication's context.

2. Step Two – Prove Malice:

The second prong is “clear and convincing” evidence of actual “malice.” As a matter of public interest, the standard requires “clear and convincing evidence that the challenged statements were made with actual malice.” (Clear and convincing evidence is a higher burden of proof than a normal civil “preponderance of the evidence” in California. This means the party must persuade the jury that it is highly probable that the fact is true. It is evidence "so clear as to leave no substantial doubt... in every reasonable mind."

It remains difficult to prove and will require extensive discovery and taking depositions to prove by clear and convincing evidence, that a person has knowledge of the falsity of the statement (or that it was made with reckless disregard of the truth which is an entirely subjective standard.)

My prediction based on this limited information:

I doubt it will ever get to a trial, and even then the damages, attorney fees, wont be worth it for anyone.

A jury can literally say ANYTHING when it comes to damages. $5 verdict for postle, for example. Defamation is best won in cases where someone loses a job and has actual financial loses.

I would guess he may settle with some. For example, I bet ESPN deals with stuff like this all the time, and at a certain point ESPN's INSURANCE carrier may make the decision its better to pay Postle $50k than defend ESPN employees in costly deposition. For example, the cost of defendant Scott Van Pelt in a deposition is probably at least $15,000 to an attorney, plus SVP's lost work time.

Postle is clearly not a public figure. He wasn't one before this started anyway.

Maybe Postle is looking for Stones to pay him off to drop the suit. They probably don't want to go through discovery etc.
