I sort of agree if it was anyone but joey or doug. Mike luckboxed to get the interview in the first place. Even then mike didn't take it serious. Joey and doug did all the ground work on this and without them them noone would care who mike postle is at all. I was really hoping that mike the mouth would have snuck joey on for end of interview as a suprise to ask real questions. Mike clearly did 0 prepwork for this at all. He could have atleast watched some of their videos or even just asked them for questions to ask. He asked about the 69 to 68 hand but didn't ask about the graphic change.

The commentators on this hand get it spot on. The guy on the left says something like “sure he can have QJo here but for Mike to call off here he has to assume that’s the only hand he can have”’

It’s sort of like they are realising that he actually knows that’s what he’s got.

Legit point, lets throw Joey under the bus.. even if true why write this **** i dont get it.

Thanks for this.

Postle's bogus excuse is predicated on him being a huge loser when there's no stream, and so he can't be superusing everyone's hole cards, and then a big winner when the stream is on. It's ironic that MikeP's very defense, the claim that he's not winning as much as people think, would in reality be still more evidence that he's tapping into the stream live to cheat.

Yep joeys spent 4 days straight blowing this wide open and making sure everyones staying on this. Mike can't do 45 minutes of research to make sure he asks something relevant. The first part of that interview had literly 0 info other than him claiming he wins less than he actually does. We needed Joey to investigate Jeffery Epstein because that story died in news faster than he did irl.

We really need to hear from people in the game is this is true. Is there a ton of action before the stream even starts and if so is Mike losing and also how is his play style? Everyone said second the stream is done Mike racks up so why would he play for a ton before? Its completely pointless if you can buy in for biggest stack at table as well.

Good catch on this one. I love it that Vick gets there both times. On a bomb pot nonetheless. <3

This clip also has some good cap angles at 44:10-44:50. lol early Saturday morning and I'm talking about "cap angles" -- so just ignore the cap commentary if it's unhelpful.

I saw the claim of he loses a lot off stream as the beginning of a different defense... all the money I stole from you guys is gone don’t even bother with legal action/trying to get restitution.

Everyone that has commentated on Stones Live has 2 options:
- come out now and publicly apologise, admit that you got caught up in the Mike hype, blatantly and constantly sucked Mike’s d***, but can look back and see how you were wrong and should have realised it at the time
- don’t do the above implying that you are complicit and should probably be investigated

Who’s to say the commentators did not each receive a little kickback from Mike and Justin?

The Stones Live commentary team should at a minimum be deeply ashamed of themselves.

Not a super huge hand but still a sick turn raise by mike with just a pair of 3s. Also listen to the commentators say “mike can change cards”, sarcastically lol. So hillarious. Like seriously has he ever been wrong in these spots? Like just one time be wrong...

He changed the title of the video recently

This is an insanely weird ass hand. The graphics are wrong from the start. We have hero calls. And we have mike still winning somehow at the end. O and by the way its a bomb pot as well with the usual god mode mike.

Edit: i think the start of the hand is weird because of a missdeal moments before.

I suggested similar in post 558
"Wouldn't it be nice if the whole game was a set up, that they all knew it was fake and BS and they were just doing it to try to make the game more entertaining. Hell, it's so ridiculous I'm surprised they didn't already start a new poker boom based on white magic. "

This hand is my favorite one. Watch Postle on the turn. He makes top two and the preflop three-bettor bets into him for the 2nd time. Dream spot to get value from AA/KK, but not for Postle! He has his palms up for the sigh call before he even sees the sizing.

I think you are giving them way too much credit for how deep they are taking this scam. At the end of the day the casino is running this stream **** to generate some sort of revenue and these idiots still need to do their job and fulfill that obligation.

Basically what I'm saying is this scam was so lazily and blatantly obvious they clearly just never expected to get caught. I mean like seriously the guy is looking at his phone in his lap the entire time in plain sight. These people are idiots.

lmao that's great. It's disturbing but also quite humorous when you realize how blatant this was the entire time. Imagine if this is going on somewhere with the scammers actually putting in the effort to hide it..

This. Of all the people to get this interview it's the painfully stupid Mattusow, high on god knows what (note the jaw grinding), with his equally high wife/girlfriend shouting crap from off camera. A real ****-show and a complete embarrassment. His lack of prep, lack of knowledge, lack of professionalism... just lol.

Did anyone bring up, why Mike P always seem to be sitting on seat 2 or 8 at the table on the live streams, never the long side?

Should there not be some seating draw before the live stream? How does it work there?

Seat 2 or 8 prob best seat to hide stuff from other players and better angle for camera shots? Seat consitency plays more in the favor of a "set-up" than "nothing suspicious here" situation.

Non-denial denials is all i hear from him on Mike's podcast.

I posted this earlier but deleted it since I didn't want more random posts about hat stuffing or whatever.

When I went on Stones they said the RFID reader in seat 2 was relatively unreliable. If you were superusing, it would make the most sense to take the seat with the least reliable reader.

I don't know what post but seats were discussed and someone post a chart about it. Yes, there was mention of a particular seat or two having best cover from camera's.

He's so pissed to have turned top two. Spot on find.

Taylor is in the booth for ~25 minutes. Between 3:44 and 4:09 you see the play when he couldn't be assisting mike (and Justin could) because he is commenting. In that time he doesn't win a single hand and makes no suspicious plays. Nothing that implicates Justin in this session, while it makes Taylor look very bad.

I didn't see any cheating after that either. He touches his hat in sessions when he isn't cheating as well. Besides that this isn't the hat suspected to be sketchy (the Under Armour one). Why go through the hassle of preparing multiple hats if that's a method he used?

Also on 5/29/19 Taylor is commenting while Mike isn't playing. On 6/1/2019 Taylor is commenting as well and this happens to be the only day Mike doesn't wear his hat, besides seemingly not superusing. There is a 100% relation between Taylor commenting and Mike not superusing (with half an hour delay). There isn't a 100% relation between Justin being abroad or commenting and Mike not superusing.

Taylor is guilty and Justin is probably just a gullible guy unsuitable to run a pokerroom.

I really want all 2 plus 2 investigators to look closely at this hand. Look at the pain on Mikes face when the 8 hits the turn screwing him over, look at the pain he is in before his opponent bets that turn.

I also need all 2 plus 2 investigators to look closely at mikes hair when he actually takes off the under armour hat (during the turn action). Isnt he missing alot of hair above that left ear where the bone conductor would sit? He never takes that hat off even for a second so its worth noting. Also isnt that a pretty sick fold? I wish the dude in the middle would have folded his Ace King so we could see the legend really shine on this one. Either way its a sick sick hand and i need all 2 plus 2ers on this case!

Plausible Deniability

This is all that Mike P needs, that Justin needs etc.

Screw the job, screw the poker in the future. We made more money than we could have going forward normally so those two are expendable. Justin will find another job, Mike may also be able to play else where.

No one has roughed up or made any player to "pay" in the past.

Kudos to all involved especially Joey.

It will be a grandkids story.

But I am afraid that is all it will ever amount to.

"I was on a good run".

All he needs to say...

I hope I'm wrong.
