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.

this ain't the CIA, man

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.

yeah i meant 2 players working together at a table, working the room.

if there was a betting favorite for how he's cheating, it involves that producer sending him information about the cards

if you somehow have somebody away from the table who can see the players' cards, then yeah that's an effective way to cheat

then don't bitch when someone uses it to cheat.

and just to be clear, i'm not condoning cheating. I think he's a piece of shite if he really is cheating. But in the world we live in, if you give people an inch, they will take a mile. People cheat at everything possible.

he's obviously looking down into it during every single hand

What is showing on the phone? Someone texting his opponents' hands?

I'm no poker pro but it seems pretty dumb that he got this far without anyone noticing

No one knows for sure at this time, but I think it's pretty much undeniable that whatever it was was the key to going God Mode.

this scheme almost assuredly involves a LOT more than just a phone. in fact, like i said earlier, they've banned phones and he's kept it up

Did not realize that.

So what's the latest theory on how he's doing it in a nutshell?

when phones were banned, a mysterious key fob began appearing on his rail

Don't know the timeframe, but there was also a bunch of photos of his hat in game with a huge bulge on the left side just above his ear compared to pics of him after the events in the same exact hat with no bulge whatsoever.

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


Don’t you think exposing a scammer/cheater for everyone to see is a better long term solution than bringing someone out the back and beating them up?

The production crew watches the live feed in order to input graphics on screen. At the least, these guys have access in real time to everyone's hole cards.

I'm pretty sure that many or most casinos ban the use of phone at table games. Why not the same at a poker table? If the games are being broadcast live, it seems like it would be fairly easy to send in codes, even by txt messages as to what the other player's cards are.

Apparently they've been pretty lax about the phones being banned and he's just been keeping it in his lap.

I can't wait for the resolution to this and find out all the details.

the casino rakes the game so you can't cheat the house

unless you have an inside man, that information won't be out for 30 minutes

I challenge him to play on another stream(live at the bike) and have the same win rate at 5/5. Of course, we're talking Rollz here.
