California only runs card games (no slots allowed unless it's an Indian Casino)
I believe Stones only runs poker along with games like Pai Gow

One more thing, there is a difference between "playing good poker", and "making the correct decision". Mike is not playing great poker, but what he is doing is making the correct decisions.

Correct decision = more of the outcome of the hand winning/losing the hand.

Playing good poker = Making the correct play in the moment regardless of the outcome of the hand winning/losing.

Mike is just simply making the correct decisions, but he by no means is playing good poker.

Hi Joey,

Do you think this because of information you've received privately and can't share yet because of protecting sources/needing to verify stuff etc, or just on the basis of what's on the videos and ITT? If the latter can you elaborate a bit on why exactly you think this? If the former then fair enough I guess we'll wait and see.

Agreed. BUT stil I think he would risk his rep for 100k . Did u see his hendon MOB?

Everyone has to make their own decision about what their own reputation is worth.

I've known Mike Postle a long time - more than 15 years, though I haven't seen him in at least 10 years IIRC and have rarely spoken to him over that time. But he's someone I've generally thought of as a friend.

That said, there's no way I'd vouch for him in a situation like this. Quite frankly, he looks guilty. But even without all that evidence, I just don't feel confident enough in how well I know him to make a public statement on his behalf.

Hearing all these old UB players I've known forever coming out in support doesn't really surprise me -- they've all been friends for years. But it does kind of make me wonder if some or all of them have also engaged in shady behavior (or worse) to get more out of their time at the tables.

And if not, they just don't seem to value their own reputations very much.

If this is not a troll (I really hope it is, for your sake) then you're almost as ******ed as Matusow. Oh and who ****ing cares if he has a daughter when he stole a quarter mil from people. Not her fault and she should never be attacked for it, but that is no reason to not go after Mike.

Oh and I am not even going to do the "alleged" cheater thing. I think he is a cheater, with absolute certainty. What are you going to do about it?

If you don't think Mike at very least cheated and that most likely others knew that worked at Stones then you're in complete denial at this point.

Doug and Joey are doing very good at explaining and shining a light on Cheating. There should be 0 tolerance. Props to Joey for taking the whistleblower's concern seriously and doing research. And good on Doug to keep at it. I'll keep smashing upvote on your vids.

Cheating fkn sucks but when you're a straight up dousche and smirk over it , makes it seem so much worse.

Not sure. Here's a frame grab in case others can recognize it:

I do find his pay and behaviour suspicious...

Also the comment by Berkley and Joey are convincing to me or were... BUT see my points?

watch hand at 0:44 JD cards don't get picked up by RFID, someone tells dealer to tell him to reregister cards in real time, who?

watch hand at 1:19 JD cards don't get picked up by RFID, Lance than shows up to table to check dealers headset at 1:24 …. BOOOMMMMMM

Reminds me of pokergo but who knows

Lower stakes. That makes it even easier to punt off one buy-in when needed to. And it worked

Yes private information received + information/connections I've found that aren't strong enough to talk about + my own take on the situation from everything I've watched.

Will get more into it as time goes along.

Pretty much this Remember, they all watched Mike make crazy plays for a year.

By the way an anagram for your username is "pee god".

@godeep

Who creates an account in Mar-2018, makes no poasts, and in Oct-2019 remembers the password to log in and poast bull$%*t?

sociopath or psychopath?

Or dog pee

mike is god first have of this stream > hands 0:17 , 0:17 , 0:44 , 0:50 , 0:56 , 1:31

mike is ungodly second half of this stream > 1:38 , 1:56 , 2:02 , 2:33

I believe he is trying to mouth something to main stream camera (reactions to game are different in every other spots) > 0:59 , 1:37

watch hand at 0:44 JD cards don't get picked up by RFID, someone tells dealer to tell him to reregister cards in real time, who?

Have you considered what he says about the guy? He is a f good player. Coming from Moneymaker that's good enough for me.. I did some research on the videos but now like Joey had of course. My point is: if Mike Matusow didn't see anything wrong with the 3 hands. Which were the most talked about. The 45 hand Moneymaker didn't even feel he was cheated on...

It doesn't look good from a certain standpoint.. That's all I am saying and what Moneymaker was saying. It doenst look good. Let him prove and don't jump the gun.

I have no affiliation with either Mike. BUT I hate to see am imnocent men being proscecuted by an angry mob.

We have an exciting monday ahead of us; will Stones make further comments?

What a scumbag this guy is for real. Look at how his behavior changes from 3:17:30 (haven't watched his phone yet) to 3:17:42 when he sees that other player has AKo. He knows that he can steal this big pot if A or K doesn't hit. AK doesn't hit and easy all-in bluff for scum-mike on the river.

Bets $80 on the turn... best player in the fckn world btw LOL

not that i think it is super relevant regarding the cheating allegations, but still. is someone already trying to verify/disprove the story of his profit at UB? do we know his sn?

sorry if this has been adressed already, just too much stuff to go through.


amazing job to everyone involved bringing this forward, what a sickening story

And laughing his ass off when betting 5% on turn because he knows it works and if A or K doesn't hit he can steal the pot. It's almost like he knows!

I think what may have happened here is that several people had access to the twitch stream key. More than 1 person needs access to the twitch stream key because stones streams like 4 days a week. Which means different people are in charge on different days. And if you have access to the stream key then you have access to the non delayed feed even remotely.

Yes you heard me, if you can obtain a twitch stream key you can access your stream without a delay. Imagine being at home miles from the casino but having access to the live feed just because you are given the twitch “password” to the account of stones. Who would have that “password”? I think many people would because whoever is working that day needs it. Justin doesnt work everyday.

I just watched a stones stream where the broadcaster types “justin get off the account in the twitch chat”. The funny thing is justin is on a trip overseas. The video is below.

It should be time stamped around 02:13:00. Keep an eye on the chat replay.
