Why would he be cheating if in the end he actually allowed the other players to take their shares of the pot back?
Postle played differently against Moneymaker. He was friends - or trying to be friendly - with him. As well as the 54o hand where he let Moneymaker have most of his chips back, Postle didn't make his "usual" godmode moves in a couple of spots against Moneymaker. (Indeed, in at least one stream, Postle didn't sit down until Moneymaker had left the table).
One theory is that Postle cheated less when experienced pros (like Moneymaker or Berkey) were around, possibly because they might work out something was up. Postle mostly went for the soft targets; the casual players like "the lawyer", the "Teriyaki business man", and Veronica's friends.

That is the funniest "RFID error" of this saga! (It also proves that it's possible to do
some realtime manual-overriding of the hole-card graphics. Putting part of Postle's avatar in there, presumably accidentally, is such a crazy misclick though!)

Thanks for these session notes. I've added a link to your post in the spreadsheet.

Some of them did. It's partly why the pots got so big, with Postle's opponents occasionally also making outrageous plays with "no equity" hands. They'd seen him making crazy donk-bluffs, seen him winning a lot, and heard him being called the "best player" at Stones, so they must have been influenced by him. It's just that when these players tried making big moves, they hardly ever worked because they did them somewhat randomly. Postle's big bluffs weren't random at all. When godmoding, he never bluffed into a hand that couldn't be folded.
