getting a little ahead of ourselves, but for sure. If they lose their gaming license its statewide, not club specific.

This sums up the dissenters in the Postle cheating scandal:

That a boy Lou! Keep digging. If you keep working on it in another day or two you will only be 48 hours behind. Go go go!

This isn't that hard if you care:

1. The table should not have the ability to transmit anything wirelessly.
2. The table should have a dedicated line back to a server, which also cannot transmit anything wirelessly (or just put the server in the table for one less point of attack).
3. This server after 5 minutes (or however long to make sure action is on to the next hand) - relays the stream to another server - which the broadcast team uses to make the graphics.
4. This feed is constantly monitored by security to make sure it's properly behind.
5. Anything transmitted - even wired - is encrypted.
6. The server that collects the real time data should have no input or output except the network cable it needs to dump the data to the second server. No video card. And some kind of software lockdown to make sure that only the delayed stream can be sent out. Yes this part could be hacked but you could make it very hard. Doubtful a setup like this would have a world-class hacker as a 3rd conspirator. When not in use this server sits in a monitored vault so it would be very hard to mess with.
7. Everything - hardware and software is spot-checked and audited before, during and after each session.

There might be some holes in this - it's just off the top of my head. But they should be solvable.

The problem is, having worked in IT for 20 years, no one cares. Management never grasps the extra steps needed for security. They just want it done cheap and now. Worst case scenario they'll just quit or get fired and move on to the next job. The only way something like this ever gets done right is if a relative grunt takes a principled stand against management and refuses to cut corners.

What you think would happen if he folds those hands? He would be on youtube and twoplustwo in no time, and people would be looking at him more closely. He can't play perfect cheater game all the time, even he's not that stupid. He has been cheating for over a year now, cheaters and criminals tend to become lazy and start to feel immortal. That is why he got caught, he become too cocky with calling 95o 4bets etc.

I don't think it's particularly relevant here (apart from Mike's knowledge of the production process), but this can't help but remind me of Russ Hamilton's pet project TV show 'Ultimate Blackjack' https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB115862745609367025. I recall this required a lot of capital injected from the Hall of Poker Shamer

He is responsible for bringing players to the game, but that's been part of his job for years.

I played on this stream in September 2017, 100-200 limit holdem. Thankfully this was just before Postle seems to have started his cheating. The game was actually fairly nitty, and I don't remember Mike being there.

Anyway, Justin was the one who arranged me coming in, including getting me a hotel room for a night. But yeah, if he was the one working with Postle here, then this would put him in a great position to call up deep-pocketed players to get spanked by his buddy.

Oh, and that final session where he played 25-50 was interesting. I think they were starting to get greedy, and were running bigger games so Mike could win even more. Indeed, he won $21k in that game.

It was after this 25/50 session that I think pushed Veronica to go public. She was clearly speaking out the side of her mouth while commentating and watching him win another 10k+ was the final straw.

almost 100% no hacking taking place

someone with access (presumably Justin) has the live feed on a computer and is allowing Postle to use TeamViewer to access that screen and see the video/holecards in real time.

Ha, i guess you were lucky not to get invited again to the NLHE game. They got very greedy lately, but they are greedy from the start, winning every sessin lol i mean how ******ed you have to be not to think aboyt the scenario where someone looks into this and figures out its a rason enough to suspect cheating, which ofcourse it is. The spots Mike chooses are also ******ed, shows how clueless he really is, why not lose some sessions, make more money in bigger games, choose completely different spots like pre flop all-ins and justifiable river calls, just play solid in normal spots, but the inconsistency of his decisions and style, greed andd stupidity essentially, really gave them away.

As someone else mentioned, I should have clarified that the stream is on a 30-minute delay. That means that this hand occurs 2 minutes after Justin leaves the booth.

Context? You have players being cheating for hundreds of thousands of dollars and the people who facilitated it happening decide to make light of the whole situation. It is in incredibly bad taste and even if people do find it funny it makes them look like a joke of an outfit that isn't even taking it seriously which reflects terribly on them. You have to act professionally in a time like this as the company involved.

I love how he decided to completely change his persona on the days he wasn't cheating

[IMG][/IMG]

Lol what is your deal pal. Take a hike then.

I mean the edit itself is funny. its obviously incredibly poor taste and unprofessional. Things can be both. It also will not be helpful to their image should outside orgs start to investigate/news start reporting. So that is kind of funny they are ****ing themselves over even more.

That doesnt change the fact that a youtube play button wearing a cop hat throwing their banner in jail is funny.

already figured out its a troll... Dont feed them

Certain casinos give me bad vibes. Like you walk in and immediately say "I don't like this place". Stones seems to rub me really wrong and I never set foot in that place. I will never ever consider playing there.

lol of course it's to "avoid detection"
It's beyond obvious he's cheating. and he's cheating like a total moron but that still isn't enough for you since he didn't actually fold the full house and nut flush he just called with them. amazing.

Anyone watching Doug and Joey right now?

They covered a hand where Mike’s opponent was all-in pre, it went 3-handed to a flop, Mike shoves, Mike says “you scared me” when he thought for a second that his opponent had backdoored a straight. Problem is, his opponent had yet to table his cards.

Mike thought river was 5d which brought in a 7-high straight but it was actually 7d and Mike breathes a sigh of relief. And I repeat, his opponent had not tabled his cards, but Mike somehow magically thought running 7 and 5 had beaten his pair of 9s. Such a sixth sense.

Talking more about the incident w/ Doug now

The youtube with the cop hat putting them in jail is a meme that they made months ago when they were banned from youtube.

They obv made it to their twitter header and haven't changed it since, but it looks terrible now with everything going on.

If you go to their streams from months ago they have it on their twitch overlay.

Oh. Did they just put it back up or has it always been the banner?

To be clear, THEY CHEATED RACKS!! The casino, Mike, and Justin.

Mike only winning when Justin is in town and out of the booth, combined with the hat theory looks pretty air tight. It’s simple enough that they don’t need real it knowledge and it’s effective.

A couple dozen poker hands and a dude staring at his phone didn’t do it for me. But combined with the above it actually has legs. I hope the players who’ve been cheated will be compensated. It’s disgusting that the casino staff was involved.
