right it does add an extra layer to why he prefers seat 1 and 2!

In one of the top 5 most shady hands....he calls multiple bets pre 3 handed (one opponent short and all in pre) with 95 off oop... flop is 9 J x and he immediately open jams POT to push out the only remaining player holding AQ (live but not much equity). There are other spots like this as well. If he knew the run outs...he'd be much more inclined to play check tanky/trappy which would both help him to win more $ and appear more soul-ready God-like.
edit: add to the fact that knowing current cards + future run out adds additional complexity to the intercepting, organizing, and communicating the data back to the villain. Let's pretend he has no visuals and only audio (alleged hat stuffing device) or buzzer on body (old school style). That would start to become too many signals to interpret while still playing the game and putting at least some sort of acting job out.
The majority believe he has access to holecards, no one really, including myself, believed he had access to future community cards. You don't really need them to win as holecards themselves gives you such an advantage. its just a theory that fits into why he always has his keys on the table and why he would need a device in his had when he has the holecards on his phone already

He would need JFK to drop the setup of marked cards on the table for the game. That does raise a good point that he would not need JFK to tap into a twitch stream since he would already have the key to access the stream, so he could continue superusing without him. Maybe they just agreed to not superuse when JFK was away? Also possible he started using the technology more recently, I guess we can only examine the hands for knowing community card knowledge when his keys are on the table?

In one hand he also slow plays AA on the flop in a 4 bet pot only to have his opponent hit runner runner flush.Mike makes the hero laydown on the river of course but wouldn't slow play if he knew the runout. I don't know if keys were on the table or not.
Good point, I remember this hand but hard to dive deep without the actual hand in question to review. Either the theory is incorrect, he wasn't using the tech at the time or he didn't think he could get a fold.

No, because that isn't what he is doing.
its not a key camera. it reads cards marked on the sides of the cards. can be done with the phone or an accompanying keylike device purchasable by anyone from china. im not 100% convinced he is using this tech either, but its worth keeping an eye out for it bc it ties up a lot of loose ends.
good point, here is the hand in question

No keys, no phones reading cards or any other James Bond-esque ****.
yea its definitely a crazy theory

yea this is where I am at now. it just fits so well, and ties up all the loose ends that couldn't be completely explained. just gona keep an eye out for it i guess and make sure were not married to the idea just bc it fits well.
