Thanks for the request @gwoat !
Oh, please. Any time there is a lot of money on the line, someone will be angling for it. I don't care if it's Wall Street, or politics, or "the world of poker". There's a reason why the casinos spend so much money on security, looking for cheats - and it's not because they like throwing money away. The cheats are always there.
The dude who slow rolled mike and then said thats for all the cheating youve done is a legend lol.
nah just a whiner
Yeah, but then he shook his hand. I would have told him to GTFO instead of shaking his hand!
"slow roll"
not according to EXPOSE 1657, on this comment section. Postle is the god everyone thought he was !
@@user-gx2yy1df6f you sound like one of those desperate simps who follows the blonde geek hoping she might give you some attention one day
Funny that we see this kind of behavior so consistently yet every time accusations are made the poker halls immediately investigate themselves and find no wrongdoing.
Can't be that dumb bro ... he's a cheat . You obviously don't play
😂😂
The investigations were done by the gaming commission, but go off ig.
@@jajo7 This is why all modern and legit live streams have a 2-5 minute delay. Having a zero delay live stream combined with typical Microsoft-level security is asking to get hacked. This is as an ex-IT professional who also did systems hardening. Finding laughably insecure systems was commonplace in my work. Having a person on the inside helping would make it trivial, but he also might have simply cracked their pitiful security or have a friend in one of the rooms close enough to the broadcast room/equipment to also hack into it via numerous methods or a simple scanner if they are using something like old CRT displays or an old non-shielded mixing board for the audio stream. With the right equipment you can get a live stream of the commentary and then getting the information back to him is also trivial if he's allowed to use a cell phone or the room isn't RF shielded to make texts and so on impossible.
So, did he cheat? Yes. But did the casino make it trivial for him to do so due to their failure to understand how to harden their systems? Yes as well.
EDIT - yes, I do live in Las Vegas and the major tournaments go through quite a few steps to keep their games secure. This could only happen at some third-rate place in another state.
For example....?
It's bad when the comment section has more information on how he possibly cheated than the actual video.
Why would they livestream the game in real time in the first place? Gamblers aren't known for their stellar ethics.
Why didn't the casino up their security? Ie cell phone jamming, and/or screening players for communication equipment.
Playing blackjack, casinos I play at get in a tissyfit whenever a player pulls out a cell phone
@@TheBliepbliep perhaps, but getting a cut of the I'll gotten winnings isn't that a small amount compared to a card rooms honest income?
@@TUMARK2 bingo. The casino and all employees were cleared. The accused attorney cleared all of them. They don’t talk about that though.
Who would sit at a livestream table when cell phones are allowed?????
Streams on delay
There should never be a live stream for a multi-player gambling event. There should be at least a 10 minute delay.
they are NEVER live streamed they are always delayed
@magnumballistics yea they are always delayed, but that still doesn't stop a corrupt production crew member from giving information to a player in real time which am assuming happened in this case study
he wasn't getting the opponent cards from the live stream. It was suspected that he had somebody in the stream room (who had live access), or access to the RFID infrastructure.
Stones is about 10 minutes from me, same suburb of Sacramento. Weird to have my freeway exit casino become the center of the poker world for a minute. 😂
I live near there too, strange aint it?
This story is years old now lol
I lived in Rancho Cordova for a couple of years when I worked there. Hated it. Casino was the only good part about it.
You know what's great about California? All the weed!
You know what sucks about California? Pretty much everything else.
I find it unbelievable that any casino would allow poker players to have a mobile phone on them- let alone allow them to use one at the table. They may as well have a sign that reads "If you're a cheat and you've got the technology, we're pleased to help."
It's not nearly as big an issue unless the game is live streamed and all the hole cards are known by the producers and can be fed to a player. Without the hole cards you could still be referencing a solver but the edge that gives is not nearly as large. And it would also require input from someone else. Way more of a problem in online games.
And who do you think was sending him the hole cards? 🤔
The winrate statistics are a mathematical proof that can be used in court, just like fingerprints even if its not 100% sure.
@@emmanuelhoule8070 And can be backed by more circumstantial evidence, like him never being able to explain his thought process, like many other pros can, when watching a hand back or attributing it to just drinking more wine that night.
Some allow you to use your phone as long as you're not in the hand. That's Caesar's Palace anyway.
The funny thing is someone had to be in on it. I cant imagine his phone picking the feed itself. Maybe but not likely. He had to be fed the info from someone seeing the cards live
They don't delay the stream?
Why were phones not banned from the table from the first ?
Hopefully the poker community learns a valuable lesson here.
If you suspect someone of cheating, you'll need to actually catch them in the act of cheating.
They did catch him. Lmfao
@@brock83995 Everybody knows he cheated, but they didn't prove it by catching him red handed. If they had caught him he'd be in the pokey right now.
He pretty much was caught. Anyone that understands poker knows Postle is a cheater. Unfortunately explaining that to a court is very difficult.
Would have been nice to call him out while he was doing it and ask him to show his phone
Your investigation and subsequent report was complete and total “BS”!, There is not one single shred of evidence, yet your demeanor and comments slandered the man as a cheat! This is total grandstanding by you. As a result I am unsubscribing from your channel and encourage all poker fans to do likewise!
So he folded a top pair of jacks. Wow you’ve convinced med lol
U obv lived under a stone of the didn't see all recaps on other channels 😢
It's how he acted during the hand, and this one is used to support the more egregious hands. He didn't try to bluff her, like we see him do often when they have him beat but not by this much, and he was only going to be drawing to a chopped pot in this case.
His river play was literally perfect, but he can never recall his thought process when watching hands back in an interview. He always attributes huge bluffs or hero calls to drinking more wine that night. The only time he ever lost on the river was when he bluffed big when the opponent had a weak hand that could only beat a bluff, and they hero called him. So he's displaying skill and intuition that he didn't have before, and when confronted, he made no attempt to defend himself by playing without the hat or the phone back on the table, which most innocent people would have done to prove that they were that good. He fled from the public eye like caught cheaters do.
Dont forget the 88 vs TT full house, in the 994T8 board when he checked the river for obvious raise to milk him and then hmm decided its best to just call he might obviously have 94?, 9T?, TT? better play it save with my extremely strong full house and just check and call.. Plus EVERYTHING ELSE, If you followed Ingram's channel when this was going on, it was mind boggling!
@@67steinip I would have folded also !
He had a streak for a full summer, it wasn't just a few times. He played for years prior to the streak and he was mediocre at best. Then he begins to stare at his crotch and he becomes the best poker player in world history over night. Now he is back to being mediocre again at other poker tables. Hmm. Almost as if he was cheating. No that couldn't be, right.
Nothing about how he got the hand strengths sent to his phone?
I've seen that covered in other videos, he got the password for the computer the announcers were using and he saw what they saw.
@@petepal55stop lying dude. Zero proof of that anywhere.
Seems simple to me, someone grab his hat and check it for a listening device or force him to play without it
Broadcasting/streaming poker live is just asking for trouble
If he didn’t cheat, someone else will/has
I also think a ban on any devices that can send or receive information would be well advised
It was nothing to do with the fact the stream was live, they put it out on a delay anyway. It was the fact Stones collaborated with him, there was even a time when they changed the graphic for his cards, because he had just gone all in on 9 high against 8 high. They realised how unlikely this was, so quickly changed the graphics to read Jack Ten. If you watch that hand, you can hear in the commentators voices, they knew something weird was up.
Good video. The static transitions were incredibly annoying. I almost had to cut it off.
So I just watched an 8 minute video and I still don't know HOW he cheated?
He almost certainly had real time access to his opponent's hole cards, making it easier for him to bluff them off or make what looks like a hero call. His phone during this time was in his lap, and whenever he made one of these moves, it was always after staring into his lap for a good amount of time. When asked about his thought process during said hands, he never has any recollection of what he was thinking at the time, and just attributes it to drinking more wine that night.
Except it wasn't every time as the video says. Sometime he did, sometimes he didn't. Sometimes he had his phone on the table in plain view. A statistical anomaly isn't a statistical impossibility. This guys shady but there isn't a shred of proof in this video. @@LucianDevine
@@leonguy-miller1608 More like most times he did, very rarely he didn't. His river play was perfect though. He never got bluffed off the best hand, no matter how marginal that hand was or how big the bluff was. The only time he ever lost on the river with phone in lap was when an opponent hero called him when he made a huge bluff in one of those key times.
The biggest damning factor though, even if you ignore the hands, is what he did when he got called out. He didn't play without the hat or with his phone on the table. He retreated from the public eye like all cheaters do.
Seems you have a probability of cheating with zero proof. Guess it's why the lawsuit was thrown out.
How is using his phone cheating?? you think someone is sending codes or something ?? stop it lmao. anyways, I'm not convinced this guy is cheating, it looked like legit folds, he probably doesn't play anymore because he gets harassed about "cheating" all the time 🤣🤣
So.... This fancy re-tell video posted on "Poker Boom" for the glorious aspect of monetization click baits you to the end and never reveals how the man cheated. Or is that another video we have to watch through on your page??? I feel cheated just for clicking the play button.
How can you be able to look at your phone during a live stream?
I mean i don’t understand how top pair is StRoNg on a straighted board and 1 off a flush on the turn
Don't ever expect a news interview with comments from Boski to hold any weight...
So correct. That guy is a straight 🤡
In order to cheat you need someone in the production van who's looking at everyones hole cards to be in on it.
And that's the way it happen ) then fed to Mike
@POKERMIKE-1624 the video never explained that part which I thought was stupid, dumb ass video
@@POKERMIKE-1624 so why isn't that producer from the van listed on the court documents? did he vanish or something 🤣
@steve833333 production van ? Or somewhere who noes mabey he payed someone off for that not to happen money can bye many things he was fed the hole cards though this is how bright Mike is to make people think he wasn't cheating he was saying he made 2 million online at ultimate bet poker he was Russell Hamiltons friend best buddies and Russell stole 20 million bye seeing hole cards no kidding then the casino makes pay outs to people from what mike stole so if he wasn't cheating the casino doesn't pay that out Justin Kelly was investigated he knew mike postle was his man his own words you can find that on one of Joeys videos he did as matter a fact Justin said mike will fold Joey says how can he say that following online poker sites much polk did stuff also on this to me polk and Joey are phonys because they support a site where Justin Kelly working at this time or just after and still does same room who has stolen money from players but what you gonna do I have nothing to gain with what I say that is all available out there you can get but I have everything possible to lose and I don't care anymore my dreams are over in the tolit but my game isn't polk lmao needs the use of a program to use online pathetic and his buddy Garrett them to are good for one another for their ignorance of Garrett saying he was cheated lmao cry baby youtube this pulled as well? Oh ya, money maker is blind or chose to be he had Ace King with someone else who were both re raising forever an mike calling each rase then every was all in prefop mike had 5 3 off even Joey said that's not right no kidding go find that youtube video as well where is mike theses days I mean that good he should be making 1000s 100k millions at every level every casino well he ant he bump his head and end up with amnesia and forgot how to ? Lmao 🤣
@@steve833333 If the setup is not properly secured, given when this happened ( Windows 7 era ), hacking into the feed before it went out to the public is a very real possibility. Once you can do this, getting information back to him from a partner (inside or otherwise) could be done in many ways. But nobody was looking at the employees of the casino too closely. Even if they suspected, they would say nothing due to potential lawsuits and loss of revenue.
It's a set of 6s, not trips. Trips is when you have one card when there's two on the board. A set is when you have two and the board has one.
That's quite the distinction without a difference. Three of a kind is three of a kind, regardless of its configuration of hole cards and board.
@@dustinglasier6417 It makes a difference when explaining hands to people because obviously a set is much more hidden than trips and therefore is generally easier to extract value from. it is nitpicky? yes.
@@peterkay3686 Besides, trips only means three of a kind, nothing more, nothing less. All sets are trips, but not all trips are sets kinda deal. If someone understands the two terms mean three of a kind, you can still convey that same information. The distinction is without a practical difference and not worth arguing about.
Source: I am a pedant, I should know
This is the card playing world for you. You win to much and people call you a cheat. The phone thing was a bad accusation. Plenty of people in the video used phones. I’m against phones at the table. But if a cell phone is the best thing someone can say, then blame the others with phones also.
Fine but who was helping him? Why isn't that person revealed?
Power and money is this world will walk over many and anyone that answer your question?
He had live stream from Trojan on the setup. The commentary both set up room was not properly secured. Anyone could walk in to the room.
@@agentcrypto7741 the internet clowns will believe any lie an influencer spreads. Or one coming from a pathological liar.
@@agentcrypto7741wrong. Stop lying. None of this is true
A very brief summary of very old news
Postle’s skill was being able to look at his phone in his lap while not being found out while doing so!
When money is involved there seems to always be a snake in the grass. Don't gamble!!
Most common mistake in poker is where people don't know the difference between trips and a set.
As far as hand rankings. There is no difference.
@@TurboShred13two people can have trips only one person can have a set
@@justonejlkingset over set?
@@johnpham54you know what he means dude. And if you don't, who's really the dumb one?
Both imaginary. Only three-of-kind
Lol
I didn't hear or see any facts on this video though. Just allegations.
another great video, great work, keep them coming, im loving these
Really appreciate this. Thanks for watching!
Hey Kyle! How are you doing today 🙂?
Doing great Jamal... thank you for being here!
Cheating at poker ,,never who would do that ,,only 10% of players world wide well thats only 10 million😢
Wasnt a slow roll bro,hesitation bout three cards to the st8.
It would be so easy to ban phones or simply put a 15 minute delay on the live stream. When I was a kid and we were playing Golden Eye on the Nintendo 64, we taped a screen divider on the TV to prevent people from looking at someone else's screen. How is it that my childhood game of Golden Eye had better security measures than a professional poker game?
You need secure hardware, no air gaps or wifi in the network, ( As well as a separate network ), RF shielding on all devices and on and on.. All it takes is a way to get the audio or video feed from the commentators or have someone on the inside able to get a signal out and you're done. As for how, all he needs to be fed is some sort of yes/no signal if a third party is watching everyone's hands.
3 years later...
I'm not sure I'd call that last hand a slow roll. The board is 4-5-6 rainbow. Yeah pocket 6's for the top set is good in that situation, but it's not even close to the nuts. Very conceivable to be up against 7-8 suited or a strong draw. I'd have taken a little time to think about the call when a guy goes all in there.
What's our equity against a strong draw or the nuts, tho? Way over 35%, I can tell you that much. Top set is a snap call, so slow roll is legit, imo.
He seemed to be certain though, he seemed to have done it just to piss off Mike for everything he did..
STILL NO PROOF that he cheated !
Losers just hate SMART players !
7:20 if you’re going to make a video about poker, please get the terms right. Mike’s opponent did not have trips, he had a set of 6s…. Trips and sets are not the same
The one hand with QJo vs Q10o doesn’t seem that strange. He knows he doesn’t have the nuts and is losing to many many hands that could be in her range. And bluffs that could win on the river.
But I know nothing of either player or the game/table that day so maybe it’s more strange to a Pro or someone that knows the table.
I mean he's still got top pair with a decent kicker and an inside straight draw. So he has a lot of equity against straight draws and flush draws in addition to being a bluff-catcher. Yeah, he's drawing to 3 outs against a set and is behind 2 pair, but that's basically always the case in hands like this. This isn't one of the most egregious hands, but it's one of the hands that further supports those hands, because he didn't try to bluff her either, which we also saw him do often. He knew he couldn't bluff her off her straight and was only going to be drawing to a chopped pot.
the strange thing is that he folded that hand when he raised many hands when he was weaker he was too perfect it was so obvious. then looking at his phone was strange then when he didnt look at his phone he had a bulge in his hat that was probably bone conducting tech.
Yea obviously one hand doesn't tell the whole story. When you view dozens of his hands, a clear picture takes form.
whoever argues that Trips and Sets are the same and have the same value please let me know where you play so I can stack you.. you can extract TONS more value from a set then with trips
Tell us, what's the difference?
Go investigate Nick V(Part owner of Hustler Live), he is a known cheater in Los Angeles, now he runs a poker stream, how surprising?
Oh shit. For real? Is that just work of mouth or you got a source? Cause if it's true, fuck that stream
@@julee5071 I play poker daily and all across the poker rooms in Los Angeles we all discussed the same thing because we all have known about it and he is a very very shady character. He had a situation that happened in a poker room called ocean's Eleven near San Diego and he had another situation of accusation of cheating in Hawaiian gardens but it never went reported because it was resolved, but he is an extremely shady character in the poker world and he should definitely not be behind any type of camera that shows whole cards
Close but not exactly. He’s a known scammer, but as far as I know his poker cheating record is clean.
@@krishmohinani2777 scammer? How so? Like keeping money from people who stake him?
Lil late
Was he "caught" cheating, or just accused/suspected of cheating?
It's amazing. They say you need to be unpredictable to win at poker, but when someone acts in a way that is not in accordance with "established poker theory" then they're accused of cheating.
@@puckerings The problem wasn't that he was playing unpredictable, that problem was that he would play conventional with some reasonable variance when the game wasn't streamed, but he would play unconventional (and nearly perfect) when the game was streamed. If the game was streamed he would have an incredibly wide range regardless of position. If he was ahead he would never fold. If his opponent had a weak hand he would barrel into the pot. If his opponent was strong he would fold his cards when normal players would keep playing. There are at least two statistical outliers that would only happen during these live streamed games. The first was that he would only raise or fold on the river. The second is that he only ever lost hands in the live streamed games when he tried to bluff his opponents off of weak hands but they somehow managed to call. There's probably more, such as frequency of seeing a flop, range in various positions, or whatever else, but those two statics are way out of line. But only when live streaming games.
@@TheGerrok And when he got called out, he made no attempt to play without the hat or put his phone back on the table, and thus defend his reputation by proving that he really was that good. He fled from the public eye like caught cheaters do.
Don Ward: Well, it happened so quick, 3 guys won; I didn't have a chance...
Ace Rothstein: [interrupts] You didn't see the scam? You didn't see what was going on?
Don Ward: Well, there's no way to determine that...
Ace Rothstein: Yes there is! An infallible way, they won!
Don Ward: Well, it's a casino! People gotta win sometimes.
Ace Rothstein: [grows more irritated] Ward, you're pissing me off.
@@TheGerrok Definite man in the middle shenanigans going on. The question is who that person was.
To short dude. Do a full documentary on Mike Postal
Lol. So there's no proof, there's no evidence if any kind...
He must've been cheating because he was too good? Folding when he was beat, calling when he was bluffed. This is a wild accusation and pretty ridiculous.
Have you actually watched anything about this postle incident besides this video? Bart Hanson had a decent video showing some of the hands, some of them are absurd.
So through your entire video there is absolutely no evidence of him cheating other than he won playing non traditionally. What a waste of time.
Nice! I've oddly been looking forward to this one, as this all took place at my "home" casino.
Really? Did you ever play with him?
@@PokerBoomYT Never did. I did run into a few of the other regulars from the Stones Live games in tourneys from time to time, but I have no recollection of Postle other than on the live stream itself.
Ok how again was he caught cheating?
So everyone accused him of cheating but couldnt prove jack shit lol he won, get over it.
WHY do they feel the need to stream card games ?_ THAT is the problem.
Waaay too short.
Sounds like jealous losers to me. If they suspected him of cheating, then everyone turns their phones off during play.
It's on the casino to force that, but if they were helping him, why would they force that? If he was innocent, then why didn't he play without the hat or put the phone back on the table? Why retreat from the public eye like all caught cheaters do if he was truly innocent?
This is chump change in comparison to the full-tilt fraud.
Yes but that was resolved. Most players got their money back when stars bought full tilt.
Poker is the game where people with no moral become upholder of moral standards!
Shouts to BOSKI IN THERE
Boski is a 🤡
so how did he do it? caught cheating yet nothing to explain how?
Look up a video going over his suspicious hands. Many pros have gone over it and all said the same thing. Veronica, Jeff boski, doug polk, Joe Ingram, and a few others all have covered his historic run on those live streams. The thing people need to remember is that poker has variance. I could play the best player in the world, and, sure, they’d probably take my lunch money, but theoretically, I could get stronger hands that make it easier to play against him. But the thing with poker, there’s a lot of decision making. People make wrong decisions all the time. The weird thing with Mike postle is that he NEVER made an incorrect play. Even if he had KQ and someone had AK and they both flopped a pair of kings, Mike would find a way to fold his hand (even though his hand would win on many runouts) and lose as little money possible. It’s not so much the hands he won, but the hands he folded that made him look very suspicious. The only time he would play a hand where someone would have a better hand than him was if someone else ALSO had that same hand, making it more likely that Mike would catch a card he needed, rather than the 2 players who have him crushed (in reference to the 54o hand, which I think is what really pushed Veronica into investigating this) props to Veronica by the way, she did the whole community a huge favor.
Did u watch the vid?
@@mezzodana lol I was gonna also ask them that but I tried being polite. For real tho 🤣
@mezzodana lol, I watched the video, it really doesn't explain how he cheated, just speculation about cell phone and hat signals. I look at my phone from time to time. So someone on the production crew who could see the cards was relaying the info to him?
@@mezzodana yeah, did you? Did you comprehend it? What was proven? He looked at his hat and phone? Bro, we all look at our phone. So what. How is that proven in court of law?
Forgive my ignorance but how did he cheat in poker?
Did you watch the video? lol. He played on a livestream, and had access to other players cards because a stream production member helped him see them on his phone.
@piFFD513 the video never explained that part.
He didn’t. It’s all fabricated to make it seem like he did.
@@ericj3331 3:40
I’m shocked there’s cheating goin on.
any type of electronics should NOT be allowed during any poker games. Not even TV coverage.
There is a reason he didn't do this in Vegas. Maybe you end up banned, maybe you end up missing. Cheating is very rare and security is extremely high. But in a second-rate casino in California? It seems as if he found a way to exploit their security.
Simple solution, no phones at the table.
Not to defend postle but no way in heck these casinos aren’t smart enough to stream with a huge delay like minutes delay it’s so simple that way no way you could relay to someone in the game… 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️I’m not even into security or streaming but I know you can do that no way a million dollar casino ran the stream with little to no delay that’s just asking for someone to watch the stream
Theres way too much missing in this vid. I know its a long story with all the hands that were questioned, but this doesnt get the depth. My fave clip should be on here, but its not. The one when Postle tells the player next to him hes holding his cards wrong and they wont be seen on the stream. Why tf would he care about that? Better yet, how dud he know?
Probably because the dealer wore a headset to communicate with production and the dealer was telling the players.
Gosh you people are dumb.
Proof pleasea. Not just suspicions....
So they don’t know how or when he was cheating but his opponents just “know “ he was cheating.
Uh no they all know exactly how he was cheating lmao he had a live feed from the stream on his phone or was being texted the cards by someone in the control booth.
yeah, but where is the real evidence of anything?
Exactly. There is NO real evidence
How they know he was cheating when would fold hands that no pro poker play would fold in that situation. To fold a strong hand, he had known the other persons hand was better
5:57 You don't read too good do ya
Seems weird that he is the only player at the table constantly looking down at his phone. Someone should have picked up on that pretty quickly. Watching him act so cocky while all along he was cheating just makes him even more of a scumbag.
Well the production staff was in on it
@@kristianstenerson2608 I personally think it was them having terrible security and not admitting that they were being hacked in real time. It would be very easy back when this was happening to go to local events and book a room next to the broadcast room or find a place where scanning equipment might find stray RF signals or an insecure port/bad password on the router/etc. All you need is one success at a second-rate casino and then you're in. And they are 99% of the time no wiser, as using a passive scanner won't be detected. It literally could be as simple as them using a wifi router somewhere in the chain and the password being brute-forced in a few minutes. Or something similar with a bluetooth mic/headset.
As for myself, I used to do IT work and part of that was systems hardening. The number of ways people would or could hack into a data stream without proper security in place would boggle most normal people's minds ( and why using public wifi is a no-no - use your data plan instead, trust me ). Open ports or jacks, bad passwords, not hiding wifi and bluetooth AP names, firewall not set up correctly (or using a known insecure device/brand), and on and on.. In addition to social engineering or covertly placing usb devices and so on. All it takes is someone pluging into or successfully scanning your network with the right device and you are in real trouble.
Easy fix they aren’t allowed electronics while playing
They allowed cellphones on poker tables?? What a stupid stupid rule.
"Caught cheating" in title. No proof provided in the video, as there is none. Here's my downvote. Title your videos properly.
If he cheated, why is he still playing?????
Where is the caught part? What I heard was he rolled a streak that was improbable but by no means impossible. To me, "caught" means you either have uncovered the actual act and how it was done (with actual evidence other than showing a direction he looked); or you have an admission from the person who did it. The bit of evidence available suggests cheating, but he was not "caught" doing it. If everyone thought he was cheating and refused to play with him, that would explain the disappearance from the scene.
Its not a streak, its an irregular pattern based on math. The pattern of play suggest an impossible increase in the amount of times the player makes a correct call, even in situations where the right call seems very wrong without knowledge of the entire tables hands. Its just not easy to translate that on a court room.
@@rickp46 i did not hear impossible. I heard “improbable”. Those are two very different things. One is absolute where the other has a greater than 0 percent chance of occurring even at random. Again, not suggesting he did not cheat. I would just never say I caught someone cheating absent either a confession or catching the actual mode of cheating. I would say that based on a preponderance of evidence, I believe someone cheated. Semantics, but words are important.
100% Right...No proof, just a bunch of sore losers.
@@stonedcommander And rather than prove them wrong by playing without the hat or with the phone on the table he tried to disappear from the public eye. Somebody who wasn't cheating but was doing all that legit would have gone to such lengths to prove it. So in addition to the math, his own actions after being called out all but confirm it.
@@NOLA-vv3szyour deluded
Wow you got Justin Kelly in that video guess what at this time or just after he works for ACR and still does polk had heads up tables at it with him working there not bad for a guy who doesn't like cheating Justin Kelly was investigated with this he knew mike postle was his man how does money maker not know his friend was cheating right away when chris has ace king another player with ace king and Mike with 3 5 off calling raises back and forth for ever with ace kings re raising to final all 3 all in pre flop lol hes blind or wants to be Joey supports this room also what i just said you can find all of it this is what they get for stealing my money as they have to many others over the years i gain nothing saying this but i risk losing so much as i don't care anymore
You clearly have no clue. Do some real research. Stop listening to moron poker influencers. This whole thing was fake.
Convicted without a conviction...must be a Democrat
ban all phones at the table,,,make people turn them off,,,,hahaha,,,,i was playing before cell phones, cell phones slow the game down. So many idiots staring at their phones instead of acting.
stones casino should of blocked hole cards as a test for 30 days.
or covertly put the real stream on a ten minute delay and fed incorrrect hole card data to the system he was suspected of compromising.
Am sure he was cheating, but this video did a piss poor job at explaining how he actually did? So someone on the production crew was giving him the hole cards?
That's what I wanted to know!
So did he cheat?
Any time you have some sort of device reading the whole cards the possiblity for cheating exists. That information even if safely guarded is still hackable in the right situation. Just food for thought. Obvisiouly if he made the final table in the heater tournry he must have some talent.
because he is unorthodox and doesnt do what i would do let me try to expose him lol
Yeah, great coverage of a 5year old scandal....... recycled to death
glad more people are making this content… gl boom 👏🏻
Thanks dude! Appreciate you checking out the channel
Can't beat em, cheat em
What’s the matter? He can’t be just a good player.
Then why didn't he defend his reputation by playing without the hat or put his phone back on the table. If he did that and continued to be dominant people might have believed him, but he fled from the public eye like all cheaters do.
Nice, even though no one was caught cheating.
I'd never play in an event where my hole cards are shown. In a 1/3 game I have thrown away aces preflop.
This story is so dead and old, why make a video about it now?
Yes I am being snarky but I also genuinely want to know what is the thinking
It was a request :)
@@PokerBoomYT thanks for replying! That makes sense. Now I can move on to trolling the viewer who requested it 🥰
players who lost to mike are just whiners they lost....he was just on a heater.. glad he won the lawsuit
How can the court mention a irrelevant law about gambling when it was concluded by the federal court that poker is NOT gambling? (Commonwealth v. Dent, 2010 PA Super 47, 992 A.2d 190 (2010)
-Terrible judgement on all the line, basically promoting fraud.
uuuuhhhhhhhhhh Commonwealth v. Dent was tried in the Pennsylvania State Courts, not the federal courts. It was also later overturned, so its conclusion is super irrelevant here.
People cheat in No Limit Texas Hold 'Em because it is the most luck bucket, stupid version of a card game there is and it was created for morons that cant remember anything more than the two cards in front of them. I have been gambling for over 50 years, have two WSOP cashes, one a 3rd place finish, and speak from experience. These fake high roller games are recorded in an ongoing attempt to get people back to the tables, like which occurred after the Moneymaker Boom because the bottom dropped out after the 2008 economic crash. Las Vegas alone has lost over 50% of it's poker tables since then.
People cheat Hold EM, Omaha, 7 card, you name it. Cards are very easy to cheat with if you know what you're doing. The Casinos do it as a matter of course.
"Hold 'Em is the most luck bucket, stupid version of a card game there is and I've been playing it for 50 years"
Delicate balance between nutz n buttz
lmao trying to get views with 80yr old news covered by 75 other youtubers yrs ago. Seems legit.
One fact proves his guilt, he never lost with the best hand.
Yup, his river play with the best hand was always perfect, and the only time he ever lost big was when he tried to bluff somebody off a marginal hand on the river and got hero called.
@@LucianDevine Or got it in with the best hand and got drawn out on.
@@bigheel2k I don't remember if he ever went all in before the River, but yeah if he did that was the only time he ever lost with the best hand in that situation.
Poker is outdated, that’s why almost every Indian casino in California canceled there poker rooms. Example, Yaamava, Palas, Pachanga, Soboba, harrahs……. Many more of casinos doesn’t even want any poker table in the casinos. All because it’s not profitable for any casino plus they have to pay card dealers to deal the cards. Mind as well put more slots machines to make more money and they don’t need to deal with all the BS that comes with pokers.
It’s poker wgaf
