when you see him actually play, though, you combine this with impossible winrates and see he's doing it by playing like 92s or 45o all the time.
He calls a $20 bet on the flop. Turn card shows a Jack. Opponents bets $50, Postle folds.
Low and behold, his opponent had a set of 9s.
But yea, he called the flop with crap but it was only $20, hit the best possible card on the turn, then folds...too funny.

he has something like 245 winning sessions out of 247. it's super high and a good player's win rate is 55-60% of sessions
My favorite is the guy who spliced into 1 video essentially every time Postle was on camera.
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.
Then at one very specific moment, he places his phone on the chair between his legs and from that point on, his phone is ALWAYS in that position. And magically, from that point on, he went into God Mode.
You can see his phone clearly between his legs due to his seat position the first time he did it. Seems he learned the camera angles and moved positions to where you could no longer see his phone but he's obviously looking down into it during every single hand.

I keep hearing about this, but i've yet to see someone explain how they think he's cheating.
Whether he has a feed to the RFID, or someone on the inside texting him in code what to do, I don't know.
But I'd bet my life savings he's getting info on his phone, that's really not even up for debate I think.

I don't know anything about poker, compare this to a feat in another sport. Would it be like rushing for 900 yards in a game or something?

Saw the SVP clip last week. First I’ve heard about it. But like SVP said, if this guy is truly that good and isn’t cheating, why wouldn’t he go to Vegas and win millions?

He clearly can soul-read every player at Stones, and only at Stones

Well if he is able to cheat via his phone, I don’t care. Seems pretty stupid to let them have phones at the table.
I understand he could have a portable rfid reader, but how is he reading it? I doubt he’s looking at it in plain site, and if he had earbuds in so someone can relay stuff to him, then once again, I don’t care b/c that’s not something that should be allowed at the table.

wait you think that headphones shouldn't be allowed at the table?

What will be done when its proven beyond doubt?

Sure, if you don't care if people use them to cheat.
They don't allow anyone other than the qb and the MLB to have "headphones". And they don't allow phones on the sidelines. You'd think the rules on this when playing poker would be even more stringent, but i guess they don't care if people cheat.

how in the everloving frick are cell phones allowed at the table?
Posted on 10/8/19 at 1:19 pm to WG_Dawg
i've played at a lot of places and the typical rules are (1) if you're in a hand, you can't actively be on the phone and (2) it can't be ON the table. rail is fine. table is not (that's for the bad beat. you're not supposed to put ANYTHING, including racks, on the table and if you have a game removed from the BBJP you'll see shite all over the place)

like I said earlier I'm not a poker person so this is foreign to me but it blows my mind that ANYTHING that can be used to transmit information or communication, be it a cell phone, smart watch, ear phones, google glasses, whatever the frick else you can think of...would be allowed in the vicinity during play.

if you're not allowed to use the phone, it can't transmit information. the allegations against Postle are that he's hiding a 2nd phone in his lap. the show he's on actually ended up banning phones after the allegations, and this a mysterious key fob showed up 
as for headphones, i suppose you could get a 2-man operation where one tells the other his cards, but (a) transmitting that without being seen would be tough and (b) this wouldn't really help your EV that much. this would be much more helpful online, where you get more hands and the edges are smaller.

Yeah, they make hundreds of long-assed YouTube videos and boring Reddit threads. What a ruthless bunch of hard asses!

There is no reason your phone should be anywhere near you during play. Not in your pocket, not on the table. It should go in a basket when you walk in, and if you want to go use it, you need to leave the table, and it can't be while you have cards in your hand.
that seems like a pretty common sense rule when it comes to playing poker for big money.

Veronica, the former Stones caster and whistleblower, did a breakdown of the Stones poker room and said that from where the producer Jason(I believe that's the accused 2nd guy's name) would be, no one would be able to see him because it's walled off from the rest of the room.
