For someone making an OK middle class living, the difference between 60k and 65k a year isn't really a whole lot. It's nice, but it's not life changing. If you're going to cheat, you want to move up a tax bracket. The only way to do that in this game is to suck every last dollar out of it.
Imagine you could prove that he was financially struggling. Now the desperate attempt makes more sense and you have a big motive. I am sure they will look into the financial history of bank accounts to find the motive.

He was a poker player. Isn't that proof he was financially struggling?

Hahaaa. not really
Poker is a passion, a lifestyle. Some pokerplayers are innocent action junkies some would sell their mother for the next fix, so you gotta be careful who yo trust.

But if he was in trouble, wouldn't it make more sense in why he did it in such a stupid way?

My guess is he tried to hit.it big time, got overconsumed with greed, and then made obvious mistakes.

Watching the dreamseat video almost made me sick. He makes so many odd facial expressions. Its sickening to watch to me honestly.

I think there was some bankruptcy discussion pertaining to Mike that took place in recent years - maybe that is why?

Last Postle session breakdown is up - I believe I have found the session and sequence of events that ultimately lead Postle to crotch mode on June 22nd 2018 when Mike had a losing session and was running bad. The next NL session July 18 2018 Mike places the phone in his crotch and then I show how the phone crotch session progressed over the next few sessions.

Mike went from a man who placed his phone on the table the prior 6 months on the show and a very regular player to looking at his crotch during hands - as sessions went on, his ability to look in his crotch became much more smooth - one would expect someone who looks in their crotch on a regular basis to continue looking in their crotch the same way throughout the entire time - not get better as time goes on to make it less noticeable and more smooth.

You can see Postle's entire play style and body language is different on the session before he placed the phone in the crotch.

This was an interesting moment in one of the hands that I posted where Mike did big check raise on the river. With the stare downs by AC who has folded already and Lock Him Up who has been check raised staring at Mike after the check raise and almost thinking wtf is going on. I almost sense that the their looks say something very weird is going on. I sure wish they'd sussed out the truth.

For those that don't have time or don't want to read through the entire thread, this is a good summary of when Postle started cheating and how it evolved (Nice job Joey):

SO many amazing lines. A job well done.

Also Joey's latest showing the stark differences in play style and results from Mike Postle pre-cheating phone on rail and one session later -- phone in lap is something that even the biggest drooling juror could comprehend. He actually bluffed into the nuts ... then for the next 12 months bluffed every chance he had and never ran into the nuts again. Amazing.

https://youtu.be/XT0NHSsPv3Y

Another great job.

The work Joey has done is amazing. But of all the moments in all the videos you've done this is my favorite moment of all your commentary.

"Poker's best player in the world"

I just laughed watching you laugh. So funny!



This video reminds of someone who cames on the forums a few years ago and stated the best strategy in poker was to play "small cards" because everyone else just plays "big cards". Just like Mike off god mode. lol.

How were people picked for this TV table? Did they look for action players? I have never seen play that bad and loose or so much money on the table in 1/3 or 2/5 NL.

Why did Postle limp/call AK and raise with junk? Shouldn't he be building the pot with big hands even knowing opponents cards?

Can the overhead cameras tell what is on Postle's phone or show how he is hiding the phone from the cameras and other players?

Wow. It amazes me how little people know about how our criminal justice system actually functions. Dude they can take your money if they feel like and keep it forever with no evidence. You're kidding aren't you?

If this was at a major casino maybe there would be overhead cameras, which catch everyhting. But I think stones is a smaller casino, they might not have super high security systems everywhere. would be interesting to know what they had.

With being able to see cards, it doesnt matter, he wanted a high vpip, and probably table image of a lunatic so he gets more action.

Can anyone explain to me the RFID misreading card issue?
While I don't doubt "ABSOLUTE GOD" Apostle was cheating I'm not sure how changing his hole cards in the graphics helps him in anyway since they get corrected back just as his hand finishes to show his actual cards (And the nuts apparently), Changes nothing.
What's the point if it was deliberate?
