Please see my responses in bold.

Hard to argue how awesome or not Postle play in streams have been, when there is only hundreds of hours Youtube streams, but not hand histories.

My argument is, that is pretty unlikely that Postle is not slight winner in games he played. Cash and tourneys. Not that hard. Could be like 20$/h and then some casino hustling, but still.

Is there even players who have played 15 years constantly and are not winning supersoft 1/3? Like someone with heroin addiction?

The fact that you don't get that a hand on stream where we know all the actions to constitute a hand history don't equate to a hand history in your mind has me concerned. But it does explain the logic behind your beliefs.

Welcome to the thread.

However, you are not off to a good start. As mentioned above, you come off as either ignorant as to what went on or a troll.

If you are not a troll, please learn more about the Postle situation (first post in thread has some valuable info). Don't expect other people to bring you up to speed.

If you are a troll, you will be banned in short order.

Postle have pretty surely played like 10 times more hands than 99.9% players he have been playing against. Ok not in 5/10 and above, but most games are not there. Based on that I would say he is ****** if he is not slightly winning player in live small stakes just based on time he have put on poker.

Arguments based on hands I agree are somehow solid. Not though supersolid like he clearly see cards since he avoids clear bad beats where there should be no way he is not going all in etc. Please correct if I'm not right there.

You are wrong in every point 1-6 which proves you didn't put the effort and time in.
Also you saying u did see 500 hands which can't be true. You don't know that we have hh of 100% of the hands played. Etc. Etc. You dont know about the laydowns he made, which you described with or similar to your set over set example!

What if I told u he did just that. Only thing someone who claims he watched 500 hands would know this.

Also are you claiming that he should have made 1m not 200-300k in a this game he played is rather stupid to say.
Trust me we talked about this... He made it obvious more than enough to be out of line and to be cheating. Surely you didn't put any thought in this and you are now trying to take a shortcut in bugging the crap out of people to feed you info imo

We already tried. Go back and actually watch the hundreds of hrs of streams and then come back with a coherent argument. Instead of pretending like you did and talking nonsense.

Ok. Let us assume Postle run bad at poker tables and started to cheat on streams. Possible. But isn't standard argument that he did it with poker room manager? Manager which have most probably salary more than 70k$ yearly. And he would risk it all and some more just for 100k$ max. assuming there was just him and Postle cheating and it was 50/50 deal. If there were more than two people in then gain goes down even more.

I'll grant you that the evidence regarding the involvement of the poker room manager is not really there.

My feelings aren't as strong there. But I think at a minimum some negligence was involved.

But with regards to Postle having cheated in those streamed hands I'm as certain as you could be about anything. As to how he did it and who else was involved if anyone I'm not certain of anything.

lol why is someone cheating for "just 100k$ max" such a shocking concept to you? Out of all the crazy twists in this story how is that the one that casts doubt on the whole debacle? Come on, Mike

We should have a poll for the conspiritards who think Postle and JFK are posting in here.

Guys, wtf. Stop engaging with brand new accounts that are obsessed with this. You're just talking to Mike's sock puppet.

@Mods can we just ban beans new accounts from posting here?

I agree with not engaging with them. However, if you just don’t allow new accounts to post in this thread, then you could be missing some input from key people who want to share their insights. For example, Veronica created a new account to post in this thread.

I suppose new accounts could be allowed to post only if they openly identify themselves (and are verified) like she did, no matter which side they represent. I’m sure Mike or Justin would be welcome to post here as themselves if they chose to do so.

Number of hands played does not necessarily make someone a better player.

15 years ago, I started playing live at 21. I found a limit Omaha Hi/lo game that I could crush, against mostly old timers, some who have playing longer than I was alive. Only played a handful of OHLo games for free online before I found that game.

Here is one of many examples that the only logical explanation is he knows his opponents cards:

#freemikepostle Gonna be handing out " free Postle" shirts at the WSOP this year, never before in the history of poker has an innocent man been so publicly humiliated before having rightful judgment.

Ok let continue with amount of money won. When we take out one big 25/50 session with 20k$ stacks number at first post is about 300k$ (and some other maybe better estimations 200k$) and Rounders number is about 100k$.

Since those numbers are out there and it is clear from what stream they come from it is pretty easy to redo the work for one, or two sessions, and figure out which numbers are correct.

Done so far: People have figured out that Postle have been working on Rounders and thus those numbers are incorrect. Not true. Cheating or not those numbers can be correct and even should, because if not and someone do the work and show that they are totally off then credibility of Rounders and Postle's defence take a nosedive.

Why for example Joe Ingram does not do that, when he put numerous amount of hours to this early? If it is about investigative journalism, then you should follow up. If it is about attention whoring then you of course create sensations and make more followers using big words not important if claims are true or not.

Why is this most imortant thing here even if we assume it's 100% clear there was cheating? Money was cheated, so of course THE question is for how much.

The argument why should someone "cheat to gain just a little extra" is invalid. People are greedy, dumb and easy money driven. Why grinding hard for 10bb/100 if you can make "safely" 100bb/100?

The money shouldn't be the focus because people like you are still arguing that he might not have cheated. So focusing on the $ amounts just draws attention away from the core argument.

In the end at the moment with no clear evidence. What is the difference on your or Ingram accusations compared to when Fiilismies accused Linus?

Answer is no winrate etc. since they are not important, or at least so you say.

If I remember correctly Linus offered playing x hands with webcam if someone challenged him. Never heard Postle defend himself and play at a neutral venue.

Key differences:

1. Linus can explain all of his plays and they are consistent with GTO theory with some reasonable exploits thrown in. Playing close to GTO is very different than making perfect decisions over a large sample.

2. Linus offered to play anyone using a webcam. Postle made no such offer.

3. Linus's plays are not statistically impossible to do. Postle's pretty much is.

The tone of Fiilismies accusation actually rings very similar to the accusation +Rep made against me a few weeks ago.

Innoncent people don't shy away from their accusers and are more than happy to explain and prove themselves. That's the feeling I got from LLinus and not from MP.

Atm we don't know about this.

Assuming 100k$ was won playing 400 hours live poker. Then once in the lifetime heater (and not more) in games they played. How big winner you need to be to do that? Is breakeven enough?

This post reaches the limit of how much I am willing to allow from a new account.

Many of us have watched many many hours of Postle's play on the live stream. He definitely did not win his money by going on any type of "heater". Please watch some of the live stream videos available (highlights at a minimum).

Next post along these lines from you will result in a lengthy ban.

Thank you.

Arguing with an idiot can result in headache. Thanks for the relief.
