Makes sense, really appreciate the info

He is listed in the lawsuit vs Stones and Postle, but still wears the Stones patch?

Just another sellout

I've only recently started familiarzing myself with git, but maybe I'll make a repo for it. The script is certainly nothing impressive!

If all you need is IP address to see hole cards on your phone then what are the chances that other live streams using this software are fair? After all if someone is smart about it then it would be almost impossible to detect simply by observing play.

The problem is that the plaintiffs are not out of pocket for amounts that Postle would have won anyway. For instance, sometimes he was dealt the best hand, would have obviously played it, and would have obviously won. Or maybe Postle was in a hand where he had an obvious reasonable bluff spot and would have bluffed anyway.

So not every hand is fraudulent. And even on hands that are fraudulent, the players wouldn't necessarily have received all the money Postle put into those pots. For instance, there are hands where Postle had the best hand but wouldn't have checked the river to induce a bluff. So in that situation, perhaps only the river bet is money the person would have lost.

It's a gigantic can of worms. And it would require expert testimony, and in some sense the amount people really would have won/lost if Postle played honestly is unknowable.

The $250,000 is basically the only plausible approach to damages here. Anything else gets you down a very expensive rabbit hole in terms of legal fees and expert costs.

Someone would have to give you access to the server on which the software is running.


You couldn't just happen to know the IP address and expect to get connected.

At least in stream I watched Postle laid down his best hand many times.

You need a casino employee to set it up so you can access it. The hard part is not the technical side its having a casino employee entrusted to the control room who is (1) willing to do this; (2) able to do it without anyone else knowing.

Presumably, most live streams simply have greater security measures which would not allow one employee to do this without it being caught [security camera, log data on the computer, a second security officer who signs off on anything done by the first guy]. Or at least, I am sure they will have those policies after this.

Berkey wanted to protect his IP to not get trolled / ddos'ed. You don't want your IP out on the internet just like you wouldn't want your home address or phone number to be public.

Here's something I found that summarizes what you can do with an IP address.

No, still lumpy.

Yeah. He is now banned for good.

You need to enable the stream in that way tho, which nobody does, because of how twitch works

oh really, you must be special because nobody else has seen that, can you kindly point us to those instances

You don't know what the hell you are talking about. 300bb/hr winrate is not sustainable. And answer my question. What stakes do you play now and what stakes have you played in the past?

I would like to donate my lucky penny to verstandig law so they can win this case.

The IP address the gfx software generated for Berkey's stream would be a local IP address, presuming he has a router on his network which 99% of people do, so him sharing that IP address wouldn't matter. Routers work by shuffling IP packets between your single public IP address (the one dynamically assigned to you by your internet provider) and all your computing devices/phones behind the router, which each get a unique local IP address that only the router knows. There are blocks of IP addresses reserved for local-only use - since they're private to each network they are reused millions of times over.

Yo, the casino is also a Defendant,

Might there be punitive damages (think deep pockets) for allowing a cheating fraud against players to run for so long under their noses and then doing a half-assed investigation with their own inhouse counsel ??

Postle CO Td8d raise
SB 3-bet KK, Postle call.

Flop Kd8c4s

SB bets 450$ (pot size 1.3k$), Postle call.

Turn 3c

SB bets, Postle folds.

Very standard. If Postle knew holecards then fold pre and fold flop.

I really liked Berkey's video and it was invaluable, but found his "technical description" of the board cringy (just a personal thing as an engineer) and his hiding of that IP address really weird. How likely is that it was a routeable (public) IP address?

sorry if this has been posted already, Barstool Nate wrote another blog and included updates of Mike Postle Dm'ing him and proclaiming that the hands are all being taken out of context.

Thanks for the clarification. Yea so having the IP address alone wouldn't do anything. You would also need someone in the booth to use the streaming feature, thats never really used as most ppl use obs, and know the IP address and port number that creates the URL for you to tap into an undelayed broadcast of the livestream as shown in Berkeys video.

What are you talking about? That is not an example of Postle laying down the best hand. He calls preflop and flop while he still has a chance at cracking kings, and he folds the turn as soon as he's drawing dead even though he has second pair. This is one of the worst examples you could have chosen in your defense.

For Postle to fold that flop he might as well post a sign on his head that says "I am cheating"

Seems like pocket_zeros is much more knowledgable than I am on this topic. But yea, hes making some overall good content.
