STRAIGHT FLUSH vs. NUT FLUSH!!! How To Know When You're Beat
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 ต.ค. 2024
- Sometimes in poker, you've got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, and know when to check/call small bets so as not to arouse suspicion that you can see everyone's hole cards. In this hand, Mike Postle (aka GOD) somehow manages to lose the minimum with an ace-high flush. What a player!

This is why I always fold nut flush pre
😂
I would of gone broke on Zynga poker then chucked my phone. This guy knows he has to call to cover his ass but also knows it’s a losing move. The commentator is clearly in on it and does not even realise that mike has to call. You can see him thinking that’s my cut of the profits you are throwing away, not even really thinking about how folding would look.
Even calling river doesn’t save his ass. He needed to be allin here on the river to keep this hand from being suspicious as played.
poor guy gets probably one of the best hands of his lifetime and runs into a cheater... sad...
And perfect scenario as well with his opponent making his hand too
1)How is this casino still licensed?
2)who would ever play poker there ever again?
Cryptotastic but now he’s famous lol
How do you know he's cheating? Does this casino have a bad rep or something
He could have bet more...
"he will get away, he can make that fold" LMAO
So fuckin' blatant.
I nearly collapsed when he said that what in the fuck. I'd of fucking jammed the whole kit and kaboodle
of course it is bro cmon
Says no one ever in this spot.
@@Aliens-Are-Our-Friends2027 sounds like it!they said it in another vid about him!the commentators would mention how often he won, but say thats a "Postle" thing!he is just that lucky, or just that good!not to mention the Stones place is being sued for for 30mill in all!10mill for Postle, 10miill for the Stones place and last 10mill from the Owner of the place!
Daaaaaaamn, this is looking impostleably bad for Stones Gambling Hall in Sacramento CA. I doubt anyone would ever want to play polker there going forward.
I play low limit cash games at stones. This will not affect the majority of players there. Why? We do not play streamed games ever. This is for high rollers that like action. Did they get cheated. Probably. If I sat down and the same people ran over the game the first thing I would do is quit playing with these people. They are either way better than me or I am being cheated. Either way I would just quit. Its like you lose ten sessions in a row. Take a break. Unlike some of these players I do not make my living playing poker.
Ed530 shame on you if you don’t boycott on grounds of principle alone
@@ed5308 fuck that man you are supporting a scummy casino that seems to have people working for it that support cheating/fraud. Find somewhere else to play.
Ed530 the fact that they are ok helping someone cheat their players at higher stakes shouldn’t make you feel confident they wouldn’t do it (in a different way) to smaller stakes players. Your reasoning makes no sense. I understand there is no video stream at smaller stakes tables but if someone will cheat you they’ll cheat you no trust at that point.
I’ve never played with chipped rf cards. Can you tell a big difference between those and regular casino cards?
I REALLY wish that the board wasn't paired. Would love to see how he tried justify having not gotten it all in...
Pairing, though, is something you often want when you have a nut flush, as you're more likely to get callers on the turn. Also, the fact that the straight was possible on the river, means you're going to get more hero callers.These sort of turn/rivers allow for more value bets, and the odds of being beat are SO low (although in this case, he was beat by the absolute nuts!)
@@ShirazEsat While true, if you remove any possibility of a full house you are left literally putting your opponent on the only possible hand that can beat you. "I just knew he had a straight flush" is a far more outlandish stance. This hand is supposed to bust you though I agree, pretty clear that something is not right.
Paired board or not you lead the river and make your decision when he jams over you for barley a pot sized bet. No one insta checks that river with that hand then sigh call a retarded small bet looking discussed from the turn
If the guy with the straight flush would have not played the straight flush so incredibly terrible, it could have really made it extremely obvious as to the cheating
@@chrisbillings338 was thinking this , he raises the turn here and it’s an almost impossible fold. Then shoves river . That would have been interesting
Body language gives away everything. That is the most depressed a guy has ever looked when holding a nut flush on the river.
But ends up calling? That make sense?
@@heindattel3919 yeah it makes sense. You can't fold an Ace high flush to a 1/4 pot bet. Even Postle isn't that dumb. He would have been caught cheating on the spot.
If not on the spot, at least the next day when the guy with the straight flush watches the stream! What a cheat Postle is!!
Amen. i saw the same thing.
@@heindattel3919 Any normal player would have lost everything that hand.
Postle Hand is why I get out of bed on the weekend.
Postle is acts like he knows what his opponent has. He is such a good reader. One might say a poker god?
Doug in future Postle hands could you do some analysis from Postle’s point of view assuming he can see exactly what he’s up against? Like do you think he didn’t three bet his AQs preflop because he’s hoping to flush-over-flush the poor fella? Is he calling instead of folding the river to make things look less suspicious?
I was thinking the exact same thing ... bet he wanted to fold but for 1/4 pot thought it would be too suspicious.
ANSWER: He knows what his opponents hold, but not what community cards will be. At least this time, anyway 😁
@@JTurner___ I think he'd fold 100% of the times he was behind if people couldn't see his cards. Being able to see his cards getting insane prices is waaaaay too suspicious.
He wanted to fold. He was weighing up greed vs obvious cheating. It would have been interesting if opponent went all in (for a mere 600).
Daniel Murphy he knows if he’s won or lost before the cards are delt. That’s his point of view.
He’s what’s called a “take-off man” which is the dumbest guy in the crew working this hustle. The smart guys are never under the lights. So if a take-off man gets popped the cheaters are fine. They just lose a easy to replace guy like postle.
This shits been going on for years.
Everyone is asleep!
Weird how the commentator was quick to assure us Postle wasn’t going to go broke because the board paired...
Extremely sketchy
You don't have to go broke with the nut flush on a paired board if he reraises the river he's probably worried about the other play going all in I think he made the correct play regardless if he knew the opponents I wouldn't be stacking off with the nut flush ever on a paired board
It's like doug polk called all the way to the river with a straight draw on a paired board put all chips in and the other guy had the boat 88777
@@danielstorton5696 do you think the player would not jam it all in even if he only got 3 of a kind with that short stack?
Tbf Postle wasn't going broke because he had Faras covered by a lot
@@danielstorton5696 the pot is too small to get jam on its only 570, most people will reraise maybe for 500-1000 still leaving like 3k at home, if then they jam u might find it to fold. if you are afraid to raise with A high flush you are a recreational player, and shouldnt be on tv. its like afraid to make money with top hands, and want to wait for the absolute absolute best hand, it doesnt happen.
The commentary is extremely suspect on this hand, like wtf.
“Unfortunately for Postle, he’s probably going to lose on this hand,” says the commentator after Postle’s opponent turns LITERALLY THE BEST HAND IN POKER.
Commentator is very suspect
the guy (commentator) sounds desperate trying to make up BS saying "postle will, postle can make that fold, he will" the commentators are so sketchy in everyone of these damn postle videos!
They have fucking graphics prepared for him......
I saw another hand where stupidity was a very possible explanation but his one... He is being too much of a salesman. Very suspect.
This guy is going to be banned everywhere regardless of what they prove. Everyone who plays poker knows this guy is a cheater.
with a name like Prison Mike ... Im a buyer.
Yep!
Except the man how he is i guess we know how to beat the man he's beatable
Can’t the FBI shut down this rotten joint?
so what, If I have learned anything about poker players and the game in general is that people who do wrong to other players (cheating, lying, stealing, not paying back loans, etc) are rarely punished.
Most sketchy commentary I’ve seen holy cow. No one should be playing at this casino.
Preemptively justifying what they know is going to be a suspicious fold. And when he faces that tiny raise it pains him to know that he has to call now for fear of blowing his cover.
F'ing den of vipers.
Not necessarily. When someone is playing a level above everyone else in anything it's just natural for the commentary to start to become centered around them. This happens all the time in team sports. The best guy on the court field is going to be talked about more than anyone else. Everyone here has the power of hindsight. In the moment they aren't going to assume a guy is cheating, so naturally they're going to try to rationalize his decisions, and commentate from his perspective.
@@Hotobu Dude, seriously?
@@Hotobu did google your comment?
if it isnt all suspicious enough already, there's an extremely damning piece of info you didn't mention. When you have the nut flush here and just flat a 1/3rd pot river bet, don't you just flick in one chip, confidently flip over your hand and look to not slow roll your opponent when you almost always have the best of it? But no, Postle puts in the $140 instead of just flicking in a chip to signify the call (an indication he knows he is beat) and then holds his cards so his opponent can show and he can muck without revealing immediately to the table that he just called on that river with that hand. "It's like he knows!!"
Great observation
Damn, you nailed him!
yes, totally
I'll never be visiting stones, just disgusting.
why? where else can you play with open cards
and never liked that they dont cut the cards in poker room.
world star: I don't think that allowing a player to see everyone else's cards, is what was meant by "open cards"...If the commentators weren't in on it, they definitely knew he was cheating! %99 of players have now adopted a "no electronics rule", when gambling!!
Most damming evidence is the shake of the head and laugh while looking down right away on the flop
Nothing like checking your cards again when you know you have the nut flush on the turn... Oh how could I remember that I have AQ of diamonds...
@@ShaggyRogers1 he was checking his opponents cards 😉
@@southerncharity7928 Whoosh......
That little smile is probably an example of “Duper’s Delight”
I noticed that too. Surprised Doug didn't mention something about his reaction in the video. He's pretty sharp about calling out stuff like that
He's also smiling the whole time on the river. And ya Doug, the commentary is unbelievably cringe. A lot of them have to know...
He is smiling so what ?. And then he calls. That makes him a cheater? . He is calling knowing that he is beat?
Hein Dattel he is calling a hand he should be jamming especially as the other guy has only a tiny amount behind, he raised on the turn and only loses to boats which seemed extremely unlikely or the straight flush he called and lost the absolute minimum while smiling yea he knew what the guy had for sure. Have you not watched the postle investigation and just come here and thrown out a useless observation? It’s funny at the very least.
*crotch theory optimal
@@heindattel3919 It would be even more ridiculous to fold and Postle at least knows that he should call to try to hide it slightly.
@@Dremin2009 no its not. Sorry but this theory really is nonsense based on opinion. It makes no sense to call at all . He would definately fold if it was a cheating situation. Its most probably not. Guys have just fun with making rumors based on no experience and rumors all the time. Its more then a nobrainer.
All the cheating aside, Firas played his hand absolutely horrible like damn
Maybe, but that small river bet was CLEARLY intended to induce a re-raise which would've happened if his opponent wasn't cheating! Then he can jam behind. He chose to slow play in this spot, which wasn't ideal, but you also have to consider what ranges he was putting Postle on. (And of course he doesn't know Postle's hand...but Postle knows his.) It's just so sick.
...and yet by playing it that way it seems like he got max value from a cheater.
Agree
Thats how they play there. Go get em tiger.
@@jamesalexander5025 I actually don't mind how Firas played the river. I would've done the same.
The fact that Postle didn't bet the river at all with a flush indicates that he either suspected that his hand was a cooler (possible, but extremely unlikely) or was being fed information. Either way, it's a bad look, especially since he was _holding the damn ace._
When turn drop and firas only has 600 left , commentator is so certain postle can get away from this lol. Definitely colluding
Postle: I am a GOD at Poker!
The TH-cam Poker Community: We're about to end this Man's whole career...
The TH-cam Poker Community: "We're athiest's"
Amazing comment.
Captain Chaos no, he ended his own career the moment he decided to do this.... we just chased him out the door!!! Git!!!!
1:28 Did she just say "Wow this is crazy we didnt edit any of these hands"
what’s crazy is - they did!
Love how you are ending this man's nefarious career.
Your comments during these Postle hands have me laughing my ass off! Thanks for bringing some laughs to these extremely tilting hands.
This postle guy was smirking and smiling the whole time.. unbelievable
The same exact grin you see on many defendants faces when they announce charges.
"Postle isnt going to broke" the commentator probably knows that MP is cheating.
So grateful for these videos doug, I'm forever trying to work out when to fold my nut flush.
This video means nothing, Mike Postle folded because he was found out to be a cheater. He found out his opponents hand and folded nothing else, no good reads.
/r/wooooosh
The irony is that those Stones games are so soft no one really needs to cheat to win.
6:37 remember, if there is 1 leak the whole sink ships xD
LOL "the whole sink ships".
Ship that sink!
Last video or so Doug, perhaps the video you collaborated on with Joey... you mentioned you found it "dirty" or low that Postle mentioned he was a "single Dad with a lone daughter" on his instagram.... with a background in behavioral science I will say that when anyone brings in their family its a latent confession to their crime subconsciously pleading for mercy and leniency......Postle is rolling over to authority here. I would bet the house on guilt ~ its just a matter of time.... (which isn't saying much at all) This video is a perfect piece of legislation for a cheater.... nice work as usual.
5:07 "He open-checks river, he knows" 😂
Seems weird that the commentator is completely confident that Postle won’t double up a super short stack........just noticed you mentioned this later in the video.
The same weird commentary happens in the hand where Postle lays down KK preflop to AA. In that hand, the commentator says something like “Postle knows he’s beat here.”
Impostable!
Jeff Boski lol
You always have the freshest jokes... Thank you.
He stoled money from you didn't he didn't you play there a while back Jeff?
@TheFallsCapone indeed little late with that one haha
Its Postable, if......... HES A GOD
Look at Postle smile at 1:30 he is hoping for another diamond to win Firas stack, then watch him look sad when a 7d comes.
TheEvilJade yep! You can see the disappointment in his face when the 7d comes! So obvious!!
Just the smirk on his face when he saw the flop, already gave away what he was thinking the moment it hits...
The male commentator is clearly in on it. He should be charged.
That does not mean he is involved. When the commentators watch players make the right decision all the time, they start assuming they will make the right decision again.
How could the casino manager not be aware of this sooner?
The casino clearly has helped him cheat. Did you hear some of the commentators act like Postles’s plays were extremely reasonable?
They investigated him months ago due to complaint. Haven't you heard? They found him all clear after a thorough investigation. 100% Legit.
Because stones are in on it obviously 🤦🏼♂️

How do you not 3bet AQs there? Especially when you know what they have.
That's the point. We know he's cheating because he *didnt* raise. He doesnt want to scare them off. Wants to cheat on multiple streets. Greedy fuck.
@@matteframe this comment makes no sense
@@mikecantreed makes sense
mapezaid ur stupid
When you know what people have you absolutely shouldn't play your edges preflop. They could call or shove and then you'd have 60-70% to win a big pot, when you could instead play a lot more hands in small pots and reach rivers, where you'll have 100%, or you'll know that they have a better hand that they are likely to fold to pressure.
Variance is a bitch even when you're cheating.
By far the best thing going on the Internet right now. Keep em coming.
I wish the board didn't pair... Postal is good enough to get away from this.
Darth Nihiluz I was thinking the same thing.
Agree. He's had a few hands where he can 'justify' his play e.g saying the board was paired. I wanna see a hand where he litterally cannot explain a fold, for like 30k. E.g a 10 10 4 4 2 board and postle has A10 and villain has 44
@@DavidL1986 his 2 pair on the flop and folding to a blank 8 on turn was pretty good :)
if the board didn't pair and he just called that would be case closed already
@@joaoalegria7578 He would of folded, #GodMode
Loving the Postle videos. Greetings from Mexico, Doug.
I’m with you Doug those are the 2 commentators I think that are involved
The TD is definitely involved, no doubt, no doubt in my mind
Firas got maximum value by only betting 1/4 pot on river. Postle knew it would be too suspicious to muck his hand to that size but if it had been any higher he would have somehow found a way to get away from it
These are hilarious
Funny as hell when you're like, "and then, there are some people that, you know, they're just definitely aren't involved." HAHA
"Postle is not gonna go broke here" lol! It's called mind conditioning for the viewers. Also how can he go broke when he covered his opponent.
Daamn what a time to be alive... these Postle hands are gold
Postles are Everywhere. In Future News: Live At The Bike - Ring The Bell Gardens Impostable Hand History
Yo Doug... I watched the berkey and DeSoto podcast and they seem to think that Postle will never be charged with anything criminally and never serve any jail time...what do you think?
I agree, it is going to be difficult to charge him criminally, especially in California. The casino and the stream will be sued civilly, that does not include jail. The best hope is that the FBI could come in and charge him with some federal fraud type charges for using electronic devices to steal, maybe? I am not law enforcement- I have been on the other end of things, many years ago.
Ive seen enough evidence that they can definitely make a case in civil court. Even with no real evidence theres enough circumstantial that you probably can win money in civil court.
Kaiser Emotion fucking disgusting....if that’s the case, then people will continue to do it, and probably be much smarter about it.
Fortunately, the standard of proof is much lower in civil cases. He's going to get sued to oblivion.
Fredrick Farzaneh yeah but he likely doesn’t even have the money anymore🤷🏻♂️ 😡😡😡
GREAT analysis of the nuances. Good work, Doug.
5:45 SPOT ON. It's HILARIOUS how much the commentators talk about his "wizardry" and work so hard to justify his moves to themselves
No to themselves but to the viewers they're consciously duping.
@wave this is just 1 of approximately 20 hands I have seen that he plays very suspicious. If it only happened a couple times no one would be saying anything. It's that he always makes the right decision, which is not possible even for the top pros. It says he won like 65 out of 70 sessions, and the few times he lost certain employees were not there. It's like a murder trial with only circumstantial evidence. There's no body, no murder weapon but still obvious who the murderer is.
ACR should sponsor him!!!
😂😂😂
He is!!
yooooooooooooo you legit had me at postle hands and that's 4 seconds in lmao, im now contractually obligated to watch the entire video
Im not a lawyer but I pointed this out before.
People are taking him to court, but his win rate, though godly, could technically be possible. It may be in the 1/10,000,000+ range but still, there have been more than 10 million poker players. This would have happened at some point. Maybe a few times.
But it's HOW he's won this much and where which is definitely cheating. Stuff like this happening hundreds of times is why this is virtually impossible.
You'd need some amazing expert witnesses and no witnesses on postles side to get him in court, or you're gonna have to explain game theory and some of these hands and how ludicrous they are to a jury. Which isn't gonna be easy.
Someone else was found to be cheating via stats. I don't know if his case is solid for this though. Mike only played 6k hands. We haven't got anything solid on him - just theories and speculations.
Some of the hands joey brings up could work. But yeahh... can lawyers clarify this?
Get the FBI involved, people will crack quickly.
Nikhil Autar It’s easy to explain man. HE’S A GOD!!!!!
I don't understand why folks who got cheated don't just kneecap him, vandalize his home etc. Vigilante justice is necessary sometimes
@@johnnycards1987 the Jesus defense I love it
What a GOD. that reading ability though. And a single dad. Biggest winner on ultimate bet. He doesn't want the spotlight. But when you were this good, the fame is inevitable. Even the commentator starts HEAVILY EMPHASIZING the fact that Postle will get away. it's almost like he know this single dad can read the opponent's hand like a GOD. What would this TH-cam channel with 7,000 subscribers do without this God? And a single dad though. He lives in Sacramento. So he can't play anywhere else. He is not allowed to move . The child's mother won't let him. He Crushed online poker from 2003-2008. GOD. when all this blows over, he will take on any challenger. Later. When all these haters online leave him alone. He is just trying to take care of himself and his daughter. And to continue the Life style he is accustomed to.
It really is gross what these people did, I hope the lawsuits rain down.
Every video I watch makes it harder to understand how no one caught this sooner...
He's laughing like - I guess I gotta call because people watching would really know I'm cheating if I fold this.
He already proved his innocence. He said hes one of the best players in the world and hes not afraid to admit it anymore. Case closed

4killer he used to play with SpiritRock online....plus he’s the biggest winner in UB history. 💯
With that cleared up, it is probably time to think about awarding him an honorary bracelet... Best player in the world, and he was too modest to tell anyone. In fact, he evidently was only prepared to admit it under duress. What a swell guy, if only more people were this virtuous...we could have peace on Earth. All suffering would cease. Actually, now that I think about it, I can see a Nobel Peace prize in Postle's undoubtedly glorious future.
PaterTenebrarum1 Funny dude ✌️✌✌
Love the insight! Never played poker for money if u know what I mean but have always loved it. Really love what u do. I watch all your videos, keep it up man!
On the river postle is picking up his cards and acting like he's ready to fold.....weird mannerisms
mike is the sacrificial lamb that gives legitimacy to the other poker live streams.
Sometimes you have to laugh in the face of thousands to one odds Doug. Sometimes you have to hunker down, dig deep, stare at your crotch and adjust your hat a bit, and make that read.
The answer is simple: Postle has mastered his sharingan and has put the announcers and the world into an enteral genjustu!!!
Ya know at first I thought he used his byakugan to see the cards but with the commentary involved, yeah, Prolly a sharingan
Announcer is suspect(male).
Subject is postley armed and dangerous, requesting backup.
I’m with you on every vid you put out Doug but question on this vid. If he found out the dude has 10 8 of diamonds for the straight flush. Why didn’t he fold turn or River bet. He still paid guy off. No way he pays off river bet even with nut flush if he already knew guys has straight flush? Was it so it wouldn’t completely give away his cheating so every now and then he as to pay it off even tho he knows he’s beat?
This makes me think how many people are cheating smart and not getting caught.
Precisely. Postles are Everywhere.
The fact that Postle DIDN'T show his bad beaten hand to the table says a lot, too. If I had the nut flush and lost to a friggin STRAIGHT FLUSH, I'd definitely show everyone how bad of a beat that was lol
My only issue is that 250k is not enough to go around for all of these people to be involved.
good point!
There are only 2-3 people are involved in this scam , the rest of the commentators were asked by the "management" to make postle the hero of the show and glorifed him no matter what. They were just getting orders they thought were for the rating of the show.
where there’s smoke there’s fire - if these people are ballsy enough to livestream their obvious cheating, then you know the whole room must be corrupt top to bottom...

He's too much of a pussy. I don't know how this hand could be used as proof of cheating, seems like a very bad example to pick
@@rickydizzlerb troll
There's nothing in it for Doug at all, everyone knows Postle is a cheater. Postle would stand a reasonable chance of beating Doug in a short enough session and then he would say that is evidence he's just good and not cheating. Why give him that kind of opportunity? You'd have to play 100,000 hands against him to show how bad he is without being able to see the opponents cards.
id also like to ask, why does stones not cut the cards? stopped playing there months ago. couldnt get over no cut.
Imagine the scenario in a bad beat jackpot if postle had won something like that
As to Postle’s collaborators, I would not look to the Commentators who see the stream on 30 minute delay, but the people behind the curtain (to the right of the commentators), one of whom would be the Editor who sees the hole cards in real time. Also, who’s wearing a microphone and sitting at the desk behind the promo screen next to the Live Stream table?
God I wish the board didn't have to be paired!!!
When does the commentary happen? do they do it as the hand is being played or on a delay? Could it be as simple as him just hearing what they are saying?
I'm starting to think some of the announcers are involved after watching this.
Starting to think? Wake up kid!
He gets the Intel from the Commentator . It seams like he knows every time what APOSTLE is going to do before he does it every time . lol
4:12 he touches his cap, then within seconds looks down at his lap. Ask and you shall receive.
Good pick up! Should be a top comment!
One possibility is he could have an RIF reader on his key chain or some other part of him. Might be able to some how pick up the cards flying around the table due to a pre-game scan of the deck and entry or something. If someone was helping, they could provide the codes and responding cards on a simple spreadsheet. Device communicates with his phone, he gets the serial #'s and either converts in using a program or just knows them. I wonder if you could do this with some sort of shopping/shipping RIF scanner piece. Some inventory control uses that system to track stuff that gets picked up and moved. Some sort of system like that on his keychain or persons otherwise (sleeves,hat,idk) that shows the data on his phone and a spreadsheet with the cards converting #'s would make it work.
$150 to call with an Ace high flush?
This mother is lucky he wasn't playing in Vegas in the 70's. If the casino didn't beat him within an inch of his life, a fellow player would once he left.
Calling with AQs from the SB here makes perfect sense if you can see your opponent's cards.
He must owe the IRS lots of money, maybe who knows?
Anyways I'm value betting the turn 100%, and close to pot size.
But what if they have quads 😔

Hi guys, I own a little poker room in Europe and thinking about to get some of our bigger cash games televised(youtubised). Only couple of times a month. What kind of cards and equipment do they use to get real time info for the commentators?
Any help would be appreciated
Oh the sweet sweet content
The commentators were acting/talking that way as they were trying to establish a narrative which lends his play & decisions credibility.
paired board buddy.. next video
I don't see a problem with this hand...he could've raised the river but it's not auto-raise imo, especially if you think Villain is tight. If you go for thin raise and get re-raised and you know Villain is tight - it's an auto fold unless you're against a tricky opponent who can take advantage of you but...Tom Dwan isn't playing these limits!
He should have given himself a rule that he can only "cheat" once every session. That alone would be enough to give him a huge edge.
Humans are greedy.....and thiefs believe, they're too smart to get caught.
It would be a huge edge, but you might not make a lot of money if you have to cut in the commentators/owners etc. If they're all in on it he has to cheat big.
john meilleur I thought about this. The other consideration is that there is a fixed cost of cheating - somebody could find the stream relay, see your phone, etc. so you need enough benefit to cover both the marginal costs of cheating each hand, as well as the fixed setup costs. So I initially thought as you did, but after further reflection it’s not as clear to me what the optimal cheating frequency would be.
I’d love to see a video on what Postle’s strategy ought to have been.
2:15 CHEATER Postle leans back and looks at his phone before folding
Mike Postle is the greatest of all time and I want to one day play with the same level reading abilities and psychological skills and develop his uncanny instincts.
It’s good that Polk is spreading the word like a good samara ton.
The show had hard time bringing celebrities, so the producers decided to "manufacture" their own poker celebrity .. like all those fake reality shows on tv. Hopefully they didn't charge the losing players.
I wish they casted Matt Damon. I would have definitely watched all the episodes 😉
The check river was suspicious and no commentators pointed out this. I think postle found out after betting on the turn that he was up against the straight flush by staring at his crouch.
I’m so confused. People are still playing with this guy on the stream? And he’s still cheating?
ON THE TURN ,LOOK HOW POSTLE LOWERS THE BRIM OF HIS HAT RIGHT BEFORE HE CHECKS THE CROCH CAM AND AFTER HE LOOKS AT HIS CROTCH HE LOOKS UP AND IS VISIBILY UPSET CUZ HE KNOWS HES BEAT ... THE BODY LANGUAGE COMBINED WITH THE PLAY IS JUST GUILTY ALL DAY!
I'm curious how he would do at a cash game....... literally anywhere else...
Not as good as when he can see the cards
He would probably do okay. It's not like they found a losing poker player and started cheating. He was probably a positive player before he started doing this. Just not winning like this of course like Tyler said.
He's a decent player. I do believe him when he says he was a winner on UB and poker is his main income. You can tell in his bet sizes that when he wants a call he knows the math to get calls. He's clearly a wining player that found an edge to always win.
@@gjchawks17 not hard when u know exact hand your opponent have -.- even a losing NL2 player can do the maths. He can't even balance his cheating range and win/loss ratios xD
@@Freeflip23 Is it true that he was a classmate of AOC?
Doug is the type of person to have a picture of himself hanging on the wall behind his actual self in his studio so its visible in all videos.
