  • The incredible, totally legitimate run of Mike Postle, who is definitely not cheating, continues. The Stones Live Poker deity finds a fold on the flop with top pair top kicker. Any sane person would find this mind-bogglingly inconceivable, but for the commentators it's just another day at the office.

      If you know statistics and probability, you know what he does is impossible without some sort of "extra" tool not eligible to all other players. If you accept that every system/process has an output and it's output (in this case winning at cards) follows a bell curve, and you see that you have an outlier from the bell curve, you know something isn't right, that there is a special cause. The use of phones and electronic devices have become so proliferated at various casino poker rooms that I haven't walked into a poker room in over 1 year for a cash game or tournament over $50. There are just too many ways to cheat now that the casino allows. This too is interesting, because basically a lot of these same casinos ABSOLUTELY DONT allow these devices when you're playing at their house games (against the house card games). Hmmm, this speaks volumes to me that they allow this differentiation to occur within the same casino. Wonder why?

      I don't think the commentators were in on this at all - they're just humans trying to make sense of Postle crushing it, night after night. He had the hole cards in his lap. The only question to me is whether that was configured by somebody on the inside, or by Postle himself.

      2. I agree re: inside job but a few things to ponder. A. we know from Veronica that JFK had the live stream on his phone (not the delayed one), so it was broadcasting, and it was a generally known. B. Postle had info on his LinkedIn that suggested he helped set up the live stream originally. He deleted his LinkedIn page the day after the accusations were made public (which imo is quite suspicious). C. There was zero security around the peek room, and it would have been quite easy for Postle to gain access and figure out what the stream URL was

    Bluetooth Bone conduction Headset in a Hat. the microphone is located inside the Bill/RIM. Bone conduction transducers transmit sound directly to the inner ear through vibration and are located under the brim just above the ears (one side or 2 sides depending on if you want to listen in just one ear and you can configure this).
    The controller that lives in the bill (it's also where the 1,000 mAh battery is housed) has three buttons on it. You can quickly learn their functions to pause/play music, answer or end phone calls, and adjust volume. It's in a convenient spot to reach up and push the buttons, though it's also big enough to feel a bit obtrusive hiding under the bill.At first, listening to music on Cynaps seems very ordinary. This is because it sounds like there's a tiny speaker in the hat, which everyone around you can hear. But take the hat off, or give it to a friend to use, and you can barely hear anything. You hear about as much as you would from a friend wearing headphones. That's when it really sinks in that the sounds you were hearing were transmitted through your skull.Sound is a bit muddy, without a lot of crisp separation between trebles, mid-range, and bass. You can make it sound better by tightening the Velcro strap (as much as is comfortably possible) and adjusting the angle of the rim. You can also improve the audio by covering your ears, or wearing earplugs - though that basically defeats the entire purpose. These are available as bare bones self-install modules which can be used to install into any hat.

    The take that multiple of the commentators are in on it seems far-fetched to me. What's that conversation even like? Mike walks up to the commentators and he's like, "Yo, so I'm cheating the game for thousands of dollars, and I'll pay you all to say good things about me in the booth." The idea that 5 or 6 people were in on this, but nothing came out about it for a year is a lot less likely than it being a 2 person job.

    • @joeregan63
      @joeregan63 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah my opinion on the commentators is that it’s like any sort of poker content.
      Take Andrew Neeme vlogs. Everyone loves Andrew. And the way he portrays poker makes it look like the losers are having a good time gambling it up, and the winners are all fair fighting and clean. This is exactly what we’d all like poker to be: in the long run, the bad players still enjoy themselves while the good players get the money in a clean, respectable way.
      So, poker: it’s fun! It’s gambling! Don’t question how mike would manage to find a jam here with 99 if btn had like KJ and the bb was jamming Th7h himself and was promoting his hand to first place, but in this scenario he just knows he’s against a set.
      Also if everyone was in on it, why was Veronica commentating for a year? Wouldn’t they want to get her out of the booth if she was a threat to kill the golden goose?
      Also, these commentators are stones employees (I think). They don’t want to be saying things on video that might deter people from coming. So it’s credible to just tell people that mike Postle is a former OL superlag smasher who brings that style to the live felt now. So just ignore the insane results. Mike is just a god of reading people.

  • @jeffsetter213
    @jeffsetter213 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    My theory.... He has an RFID reader/booster on his phone and/or key fob & a bone induction speaker in his hat. He intercepts the RFID data being sent from the table to the production system and sends the data via the booster to a nearby accomplice. This way, they don't necessarily need the management to be in on it. After a few orbits the accomplice on the laptop can determine which RFID codes are for which cards as he watches the stream and each card is exposed. He simply has to match the code being sent to him to the cards he is seeing on the stream. Once he has matched all of the cards in the deck to the RFID codes that Mike is intercepting and sending to him, he then knows exactly which cards each player is holding and he simply relays that information to Mike via his hat-based bone induction speaker. This is why Mike presses the side of his head in key situations because he needs a good connection to be able to hear his accomplice clearly. And he likely checks his phone on occasion to make sure the interceptor/booster is still running or to restart/turn it on/off. This makes technological & logical sense as it explains pretty much all of his odd physical movements, his habit of having his phone/key fob out & on the table & his absurdly unrealistic win rates.

  • @BangsarRia
    @BangsarRia 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    In Matusow’s interview last night, Postle presented quite a few defenses; my takeaways:
    Local players in Sacramento are jealous of him - you know, the people who have been cheated and are the only group of people sticking up for him
    Joey and Doug wanted their names mentioned on Sport Center.
    Something about Russ Hamilton not being mentioned on Sports Center.
    He and the other players on the Stones live stream are all losing money so fast they are continually rebuying and adding to their stacks, even in the 10 minutes before the broadcast starts
    It is a lie that he is up $250K in the past year, it is more like $125K. So he won consistently for a year at only 30BB per hour, which is only im-Postle-able, not doubly so.
    He has been crushing the game for 16 years and 100 people know it, just ask them
    The reason he is such a big winner is his secret strategy, and that is: He is a fun-loving guy.
    He plays 54o against Chris Moneymaker, T2 if someone mentions Doyle Brunson, 95o against a friend who busted another friend with it; that explains why he plays as if he could see his opponents’ cards.
    The bulge that can be plainly seen in his hat is not there, and therefore not worth talking about so he quickly changed the subject
    He’s always been on his phone more than anyone else. He used to watch the broadcast stream while playing to see his opponents cards.
    Q: People ask how you can Soul read your opponents when you are always staring at your crotch? A. I’ve always sat with my left hand under my crotch. (You couldn’t make this stuff up, and this means he’s actually sitting on his phone).

The commentators straight buttering up postle are nothing short of disgusting. This is all so dirty that at this point when folks like Negreanu and Matusow, two people who have helped me to shape my poker game and that I have tremendous respect for are blindly defending postle they themselves look shady and at the very least arrogant and ignorant.. Some things in life never change. Now when I watch the hands with postle, knowing that other players are playing by the rules, something that doesn't typically cross my mind, has made it a joy to watch players like Marle at the same table as postle while she plays her best. Seeing the guy next to Bart Hanson with JJ on AAQ take it to the river. I grew up playing hockey and at the end of the game there's a line of handshakes from both teams. Camaraderie in poker exists.

    In the 2nd hour of the Matusow interview, Postle’s story keeps changing: first he said the secret to his success is that he’s just a fun-loving guy. Then he said that was an act to help him exploit his friends. Then he said he appeared to be a fun living guy because the show asked him to do that and be an example of how people should play poker, which he took to mean don’t wear headphones (you couldn’t make this up). He went on to say that competition in poker is ridiculous.
    Other gems:
    Postle gave a lot of reasons why he shouldn’t be playing at the Live Stream table at Stones, but has apparently played every season for more than a year, and always cashes out right after it ends.
    He says he plays a lot of tournaments at another Casino, and apparently has about one cash a year.
    He’s currently one of the best players in the world because he lost a lot of money online twelve years ago and learnt a lot from it
    He was the most winning player on Ultimate Bet ever
    The reason he always make the optimal play in the Stones Live stream is because they don’t show all the hands (after all, it is only a live stream)
    The fact that his session win rate is impossible unless he knows his opponents’ cards is explained by his claim that he only won half the amount that the live streams show.
