It’s different than that, because my understanding is that allegations even use some losing hands as examples. He’s folded on really good hands when literally no one else would have. Turns out an opponent had a better hand in a couple of those instances.

well it's not cheating if you don't get caught.

I keep hearing about this, but i've yet to see someone explain how they think he's cheating.

For someone playing loose agro, he’s making too many perfect strategy. Loose, agro is volatile. But his results is always trending up. This is like having a 50-0 record playing Russian roulette.


So what happens to him?

Yeah the stats prove he's cheating, but combined with his style, it makes it even worse

He's gonna be shunned by the community as his best case scenario.

He may be sued or prosecuted criminally

There are a bunch of theories. The last Matt Berkey video explained them in detail.

When his opponents have weak hands but his hands are worse, he bluffs at 100% success rate.

When his hand is weak but his opponent is bluffing, he calls at 100% success rate.

When his hand barely beats his opponents’, he perfectly extract value everytime.

When he has 2nd nuts and his opponent has nuts, he loses minimum.

I think they mean HOW he cheats.

Its likely either a portable RFID reader OR he has inside help (most likely).

Somebody in the broadcast can see the cards live and feeds that information to him.

what is a RFID reader? and how would it relay whatever it's doing to him?
I would think inside help would be the easiest way, but how would anyone on the inside know what the next cards are going to be?

the broadcast isn't live, and if it is, then they are stupid for doing it live.

Not when a cult (of personality) has emerged. He IS their show. Plus supposedly they don't run the tightest ship and he owns some part of the production company

That's how all poker shows "read" the cards. The cards are all chipped and an RFID reader transmits that identifying information so the cards can be displayed.

If he had a portable reader, he'd see the cards like the viewer does

If they have the right system they can see the whole deck, but I don't think they can see everything. I could be wrong.

It's on a 30-minute delay, but otherwise "live"

Bone Conductor Hat

I also read an allegation about a bone conductor speaker in it that is silent to the outside but a person can hear it. I have no idea though if that is plausible.

I listened to the cracking aces podcast with joe Ingram about this. I believe they mentioned the only two sessions he lost money were when a certain stones employee wasn’t at the casino.


IMO, he’s absolutely cheating. The clip he’s winning at is absurd and he’s doing it all playing small stakes games.

My obvious question is how do they get anyone to play against him?

Postle seems to play like a “poker God” during Stones streams. I honestly think it’s because he is focused and not all loosey goosey at the table eating a sandwich, because everything conveys information.

LOL stop

He's cheating, there is literally no scenario where he is not cheating.
