Seems like when cheating he needs to crotch stare so he moves his chips to the side so his cards will be closer to edge of the table. Thus, to outside observer it will appear more that hes looking at his cards

That hand has made the rounds but it sure is sick.

Has anyone grabbed Mike’s VPIP in non-God Mode sessions vs God Mode sessions? I’m guessing it will be a stark jump.

lol is stones live still streaming cash after this insanity?

i can only assume not, with such corruption in their own staff.

have they officially addressed this yet?

Exactly!

I can't remember what podcast it was but this exact point was raised. It is a very legitimate curious discovery. It makes perfect sense for him to move his chips in order to access have access to his phone. It's great in hindsight though

Totally normal way to handle a non-suspicious object in your hand. Looks like a little kid with a forbidden piece of candy.



Maybe he worried he might have unlocked the car with all the transferring and foreign objects, so he clicked lock just to be safe.

This is really interesting stuff. (FYI - you can embed tweets by pasting just the number of the tweet - last section of the URL - and use the twitter icon in the post editor.

By the head tap - it appears that maybe he's using the bone conducting headphones this early? And maybe the weird object is transmitting voice to the headphones over blue tooth or something.

FWIW - the maker of PokerGFX told Matt Berkey that Stones was "handling the delay" with the GFX software, not letting OBS do it. Which means from what he knows that the blue screen cheating method is impossible. But Matt's not 100% sure they didn't change it up or there could be some other explanation.

Appeal to authority is a weak argument already, and your reverse "Appeal to lack of authority" is far worse.

You keep going back to Phil Ivey, and I have no idea why - I can't remember him coming out with statements about...anything in poker. I'm not going to say he never has, but he certainly isn't the go-to for commentary on poker issues.

You asked about Negreanu, and when people showed you he had commented, you moved your criticism to the fact that he's "only said 3 words". Comments like that are why you're getting pushback; it smacks of disingenuous posting when you shift the goalposts like that.

Why haven't whatever high profile players you look up to commented? Who knows, there could be a variety of reasons. If you care, ask them. But coming in this thread and using the lack of comments from some people to argue against all the evidence in this thread is ridiculous. If you think the evidence isn't good, that's what you should be arguing against. If you can't, maybe you should avoid disparaging the case based on who hasn't commented on it.

I'm not going to go back and forth with you on this and try to convince you of anything. I don't know that I even should have replied, but I'm doing so on the chance you actually believed you were making a good faith argument, in the hopes you might see why using that as an argument is silly, and people reacting to it in the fashion they have has nothing to do with a "witch hunt".

Explain what Mike is doing at 1:53 in this video then please...

well none of your arguments make sense to ****ing anyone

playing plo winning with full house over missed flush draw. You might be getting confused as only 2 cards are showing but that happens all the time on their stream.

Exactly the same thing as his opponent is doing at 2.20.

That was a long break Arty

Jeff Boski has the same stuffed Under Armor bone conduction technology hat Mike Postle was wearing. Is he in on it too?

Joey was supposed to have a podcast with JRB yesterday. I was looking forward to that even before the Postle scandal broke bc of the infamous 53hh $640k 5bet punt he made a couple months back in a Triton cash game. Wonder if Joeys just been too busy or JRB flaked.

I'd love for a moderator to do an IP check on these Postle defenders which have super young accounts and let us know how many of them are located in the Sacramento area.

Would love for Joey to ask JRB about Mike the mouth and Doyle talking about JRB being in 24 mil make up with Robl. It was on Poker Go in the Dollys game.

Many people are posting like the hat / bone conduction headset theory has been proven. Imo the evidence is weak. (Not the evidence of him cheating, which is solid.)

The padded hat look, the hair 'patch', the head pats, the forward/backward wearing - none of these are super convincing. Couple that with him taking the hat off at times during play and it seems like a big stretch to think this is how he's cheating.

Are others with me on this? Did I miss a warm-if-not-smoking gun somewhere in this thread?

That is the joke.

This has come up before, so I'll reply in the thread:

- only a few mods/admins have IP checking capability (I am not one)

- checking an IP because a poster may be from a geographic area favoring "one side" of a debate, even if it is the "trolling" side, may be borderline abuse of mod power (this is solely my personal view).

Holy **** 24 mil make up to Robl. Im not surprised that JRB could run up that tab, I'm just surprised Robl would let him. Just shows how much of a beast Robl is that he is able to find it profitable to stake JRB; JRB gets Robl into the games, Robl can win more than JRB loses.

Pretty scummy of Mike and Doyle to be talking about that while being televised though.

I think its pretty clear Postile has some sort of advantage... and that he breached the hole card stream. I think that is pretty likely given the evidence in the thread.

What is unclear and likely unprovable is that someone employed at Stones DIRECTLY helped him.

Given my knowledge of information security, I find it to be more likely or just as likely that he had knowledge of their streaming software and stones used lax infosec measures.

It doesn't absolve Stones casino of fault; it's their duty to secure their games... but I just don't think there is enough evidence to say that this is an inside job.

What I think is most likely is that postile social engineered his friends who worked at Stones to get the key information needed in order to breach the stream.

Its in the other thread the Dollys game/talking about Ivey. I checked it out on Poker Go and they do say it.

Given the evidence posted ITT it is far more likely that he had inside help. Investigators should have access to a lot more evidence which should make the connection to an insider far more clear though, if there was indeed an insider.
