If it comes out that the producer has been cheating with him, I’m assuming lawsuits from other players will start flying.

I love how the stream pushes him as a godly player and shows pics of him as Jesus.

Aren’t they also pushing a book by him?

In fairness, Jesus always had a problem with other gamblers.

Taking all of their money by knowing what cards they were holding would seem to be more effective at dissuading them than simply overturning their tables.

I’ve known Mike for over 20 years and would be absolutely shocked. He is highly intelligent person and player and has been a straight up dude as long as I’ve known him.

at the end of the day, shouldn't this man be rewarded for cheating at such a skilled level that nobody even knows how he's doing it with millions detailing his every move? at this point, good for you man.

Gee who would have ever thought that someone would try to cheat at gambling. The nerve of it all.

Hey Mike!

Or are you one of the producers?

I imagine you watched zero of the evidence against him because there’s nothing he can be defended on.

I also want to throw in this guy could have cheated more realistically and probably would have never gotten caught but he wanted to be fancy and greedy and make himself look like a superstar with all his erratic plays.

He deserves to go to jail.

I may not be exact but he basically played 7 sessions over 6 months with moderate success. In each session, his phone was ALWAYS on the table or in his hand...always.


I don't understand why he would be allowed to have a phone at the table in the first place. In college when I'd play with my friends we had a no phones at the table rule and that was with fricking brick Nokias. There is no way in hell I'd be cool with a person rocking a smart phone while we were playing for money.

No, just an old buddy of his and coworker when he was a casino dealer. If I remember right, he’s from Ohio. I doubt he’s ever heard of Tigerdroppings

Buddy or not, the circumstantial evidences are pretty overwhelming.

Hes definitely cheating, but the players at Stones are absolutely terrible. Seems the players on LATB are much better.

they don't show em often, but if they ever do low stakes like 1-3 or regular 2-5 (which is what Postle is playing) they're terrible

I believe this is criminal fraud

It seems to me like a better comparison than rushing yards per game is going like 92-8 against the spread in NFL games.

After watching a couple of videos, I tend to agree. It looks bad. When I defended him I didn’t know all that. Just judged him from the guy I used to hang out with.

If the cards are rfid tagged, wouldn’t that be extremely easy to read? Unless your changing the deck each hand you’re going to quickly be able to determine which card has which signal. That seems like a very foolish way for the casinos or whoever to tag the cards.

The main question I have is why are people still sitting down to play with him? Are the players at this room under contract to be there or something? I would think most could just take their money elsewhere.

Yep saw one hand where he had AK. Flop come K 9 2 or something. Player bets and he folds. Oponent flopped trips but no one is folding AK when they hit the king and garbage out there ......the bet wasn't even that much

Well then, they should change the rules.
They never caught him, so hes not getting arrested or anything. Right?

I dont understand how he could know someone else would get trips.

Can someone explain how he cheated for us who didnt read thru?
