context?

what is this?

+1, really hate how we need to remind people not to engage with the newest iteration every couple pages

Hi Yes, I should have added this to the post you are replying to.

It is the viewer text on the last stream Stones did before they stopped streaming, so it is really interesting to see JFK addressing the breaking allegations of Veronica.

I am sure Bammfu was someone who was involved with Stones who had held suspicions of Postle, as the name is like a joke to JFK, ie hitting him Bamm **** you and I wouldnt be surprised if itr wasnt Veronica herself, as it seems to have the same sarcastic cynical disbelief about the investigation reliability that she had when she was watching and saying, "It is weird" when watching Postle play, and about his popularity increasing.

And amusing to again to see JFK asking for any allegations to be sent to him to investigate.

So interesting, this is a watching the ship suddenly start sinking moment, as JFK will have realised people were now openly questioning things, and the cat was out of the bag. No doubt he hoped taking the stream off air would be a good move, until all the fuss died down!

The difference with Postle is this.
90% of people ITT could be shown 30 seconds of Stones footage of Postle, without holecard information and tell you whether or not he is going to have a winning or losing session based purely on his physical mannerisms.

It's also pretty weird for the guy that supposedly already conducted an investigation and tweeted that Veronica's allegations were false (via Stones twitter) to say 'if the stream is compromised I want to know.'

Huh?

those guys were (are) extremely good in range vs range plays.

this Postle dude plays his hole cards vs 2 known hold cards, and lacks actual poker knowledge to be able to cover up he's cheating. that's how he got caught, for being a huge whale in poker theory and common sense.

Was someone going through this stream yet?
Mike has his phone "under" the table here a lot, texting, doing **** with it, whatever, the phone screen is visable really a lot here. He is not even trying to hide something down there. But even like that i think it's strange, because he could just do his things also normally on the table as the others as well. I mean, noone doesn't even seem to care about it as well, the dealer is sitting right next to him, he must be seeing this as well. Is such a behaviour even allowed there?

I mean, this is so strange compared to the god moding sessions, when he is obviously hiding this phone deep down in his crotch. You can't even really see the screen.
He also doesn't seem to be godmoding throught this session as well.
Keys were on the rail also, JFK was not there, he was even in YouTube chat sending greets from Australia.

Exactly, any 2NL regular these days, or even the lowest stakes MTT reg, would be able to figure out an optimal, or at least serviceable strategy for having a large but plausible winrate so they didn't get caught, if they were in Postle's shoes. It's absolutely insane to me how Postle didn't understand how to exercise even a modicum of caution in regards to his approach.

Why do you think Postle thought it was a good idea to go on Matusow's show? Literally nothing good can come from that decision for him, yet he still did it. Why do you think that is?

He is a stupid man who likes to be the centre of attention, which actually applies equally to Matusow!

He had gotten away with it for so long and while there may have been other suspicious players Veronica was the only person that brought it to the attention of the people running the game. The most insane thing to me is that he continued to cheat in front of her post her initial accusations of him cheating on stream. Why not skip a session of cheating here and there when she in the booth analyzing your play as a commentator of the stream? It seems as if that was the straw the broke the camels back in this event. So many dumb and greedy plays but this one is close to the top of the list in my opinion.

I also like the way JFK was SO worried about the allegations that he gave a misspelt e mail address for allegations to be sent to him … thereby preventing any concerns from reaching him jkuraitis@StonsLivePoker.net

The left image is the original image. The right image has a slight brightness adjustment.

9 of spades & 9 of clubs... aanddd... a 9 of spades on the turn?

I only see 9 of Diamonds and 9 of Clubs in the hand??

What colour cards do you see on the actual table? The top two images.

Red and Black - 9 Diamonds and 9 Clubs.

To me they both look like black suits. But maybe you are right, it seems insane to me that nobody would notice. Perhaps you are right.

How do you know that? The people running the game were presumably in on it, and probably ignored or dismissed any concerns expressed to them.

What if the plaintiff's are also in on it and this is all a long con to rinse the casino?

Then they can make additional money by making a movie as well

>That money was stolen clean and square. Possession is 9/10ths of the law and as soon as mike cashed those chips they became his.

I am dumber for having read this.

Keyser Postle?

Damn, you are so right, that Lawyer Mac and Kelly Minkin look so shady to me, let's hope the judge spots they are bad uns, and throws the damned book at them!

After all, it is not as though the accused would point out the plaintiffs are in on it, is it?

I am not sure of your point. The poker room manager apparently was in on it, and was named in the lawsuit.

You can see at 4:27:50 when the dealer is mucking his cards that it is clearly the 9. The black 9 is never clear that it's the 9, but it looks more like a club than a spade, and there's no reason to think it's not.
