He cannot and will not get backed for higher stakes. There is a reason he/your friend never played high stakes. At some point in time, his monkey action on the river would have been called by people that could afford it. He would then be pressed regularly and eventually questioned. The jig would have been up.

Good winning players have people approach them for stakes. They also speak to them and it is at that point your friend would have proven he is not a crusher or even top end skilled. His discussion, aka excuses, of action/s he took is nonsense. The guy is a fraud and you're a putz for continuing his charade.

Knowledgeable poker players would not make the comments you do on this topic. Your "avid poker player" claim is a fugazi since you only joined after this thread existed and have nothing to say aside from defending a cheater.

STOP SAYING REDICULOUS and SPELL it right!

The major flaw I see with this theory is that would mean Justin is on the up-and-up. And Justin said they did security audits every 3 months. I don't know how some sort of third party access would've gotten passed those.

LOL this

For sure, I'd honestly be surprised if even 100 people managed that in the USA last year. If they did, it's only really possible because of the increase in private games and 5/10+ really not running regularly in many places anymore.

Things Mike Postle has ruined:

The Rolling Stones
Cold Stone Creamery
Stone Cold Steve Austin
Bob Dylan's Like a Rolling Stone
Stonehenge
Stone IPAs
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
Sly and the Family Stone
The Mighty Mighty Bosstones
The Flintstones
Oliver Stone
Queens of the Stone Age
Sharon Stone
Legitimate Live Poker Streams

Not sure, but a willing conspirator could easily install a remote viewing software one time and never get involved again assuming no one found out. I'm an Occam's Razor fan and the simplicity of a program that would allow remote access satisfies all scenarios.

With that said, I want to be wrong and somehow Postle is legit, but the evidence is just mountainous.

He cheated, guys. No need to look deeper. His credibility is finished. He ain't going to jail or paying out ffs.

Time to learn and move on

Just saying the guy probably doesn't have a lot in assets which I would guess is accurate.

Dont forget the completely innocent StonesLive twitter a radio talk show about a UK football club

I agree with you that I don't ACTUALLY believe him when he makes these statements about not being able to move.

However, I think Postle's take on this may actually be the only credible thing that he has said thus far since this scandal broke. Even if we give him credit for his decision and rationale for not playing bigger or in other locations it doesn't hold a candle to the mountains of information and analysis concluding that he was scamming people out of money.

Sure, Postle, I'll give you credit that you wanted to stay where you live and play in the games you have been playing. I'll give you credit that you want to stay close to family and that you have made a life you do not want to leave or put on hold by playing games elsewhere. That is totally your prerogative and I think it is a fair argument and I cannot attest to the integrity of something only you know internally.

But everything else points to you cheating...

If they can scan RFID from distance, all they need is the good key to decrypt the data, so it wouldn't been so hard... The keys on the table could be enough.

Is it me or there is a guy aiming for the girl's card with his cell phone the first time Postle cheated? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aGD4FYX9NA&t=815s

Seriously, look at that... I'm freaked out... If youcan read the RFID from distance, this is probably what Postle and his team is doing...

Probably those security audits were more likely to make sure none of the employees are stealing from the casino, and the casino is getting all the rake it is supposed to.

When people are allowed to store their backpacks in the peek room and the door isn't even locked I seriously doubt any attention is paid to the security of the live stream table.

Would someone in the poker community PLEASE COME FORWARD NOW, reveal WHO you are, and postulate MP used to be a CRUSHER???? Thank you.

To the newbs who still think the commentators were in on it...
I know they appear fawning at times, but if any of the main commentators were in on the cheating, don't you think they would have been less sensationalist, so as not to draw attention to ridiculous hands? In some spots they literally scream things like "Don't do it!" or "I can't believe he's making this play!", or they congratulate people for making sick hero-calls when Postle bluffs.
Watch the controversial hand vs T-bone again: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/365129696?t=02h33m20s
They give T-bone the "OMG" meme, because they think his bluff is so sick. It initially doesn't even occur to them that Postle will re-bluff. Note that one commentator yells to the man in the editing booth "Does he have 89? Taylor, does he have 89?" and the other soon adds "Just give T-bone the money."
Both guys seem quite deflated when the graphics changed and the pot was eventually pushed to Postle.

FWIW, even the twitch chatters thought something was up. Someone wrote "I declare shenanigans".

If you play 2-3x or more in a room every week you know who is crushing, who is losing, who is on a downswing etc. This shouldn't have to be explained to someone who claimed they won 200bb/hr over 250+ hours (which again, lol).

Arty, that they act like WWE commentators not believing it's all rigged doesn't really do much for that theory imo.

It has been stated by people who actually KNOW that the radius is a mere few inches.... so nothing can be done "from distance...

I don't know if anyone played the forum game Werewolf on here back in the day, or currently does, but that's what this situation reminds me of lol. We have to figure out the wolves from the sheep. Those games required hours and hours of pouring over information and dissecting every little comment and oddity.

OK...**I** can: Cause he is getting 70-1 if he hits his straight.


Your turn: Can you tell me WHY HE FOLDS when he hits top pair on the turn?

No, public outrage is all we have and all we can put 100% confidence in. What Joey and the poker community is doing is so ****ing important. It is so ****ing easy to just look the other way, but that will just hurt poker more than whatever these dinosaurs of the industry say. Mike Postle being caught on stream for cheating at poker might be bad in the short run, but it's good in the long run bc we are upholding its integrity. If Mike Postle were found innocent, that would be the real end for poker.

Go on Westlaw, search "child pornography" /200 wipe! /50 "hard drive".

Let me know the results you find.

"Wiping" hard drives (1) takes time, (2) is easy to detect, and (3) leaves recoverable files.

Numerous defendants have been convicted after trying to wipe hard drives.

(And that assumes that they can get into administrator mode, while nobody else is in the physical presence of the computer, with the surveillance cameras running (we are talking about a casino!).)

Sad that ww died on here

Love that game
