The poker world is engulfed with the Postle poker scandal

The casino that hosted these events already has its reputation destroyed-- To get it back, they need to bust both of the cheaters. Just busting Postle won’t do any good, because everyone will assume that the guy who was feeding him inside info will now just find someone else to feed inside info to.

Speculation is on a producer named Taylor Smith.

“Exactly, only when Taylor is in the producer’s booth, Mike cheats. If Taylor is doing commentary or being the floorman or something else, Mike magically stops cheating.”

There are a lot of coincidences mentioned in that discussion.

Yeah, that was my thought, too. He’s the guy with the value, he’ll find someone to sell it to, but it looks like that trail is being followed up.

OK, that hand is just ridiculous. After watching that, all I can think is he’s laughing up his sleeve and showboating…other than drunks at the table, I’ve never seen anyone make a play like that.

Is he banned from the tables at this point? And who on earth would play with him?

He’s probably getting more than that- one particularly damning hand Doug Polk featured recently, was an Omaha hand, but the RFID system didn’t get reset to look for 4 cards, so only registered 2 cards for each player. Postale is visibly agitated throughout the hand, and can be seen numerous times after the flop diligently trying to get the rfid reader to register his 4 cards, no doubt trying to make it realize the game is Omaha and not holdem. He somehow knew only 2 cards were being read for each player. No player would have any reason to be so concerned with their cards being all registered properly after the flop unless they knew there was some sort of read error happening

The casino and the cheater are being sued by a group of players for $10 million.

Fair warning, my ad-blocker was working overtime on that site and it still didn’t manage to stop everything. That’s the most aggressive advertising I’ve seen on a site in years.

The thing is, he likely could have made a decent [if still totally dickish] living gambling by ignoring his electronic reads say 50% of the time or so.

But the people he collaborated with may not have thought it was worth it for such compartively little payoff. They’d still be looking at the same time in jail/fines and for half the profit. I agree though and I assume that stuff like this goes on all the time in the ftf poker world but obviously not on all hands and at all rooms.

I’ve folded KK pre-flop only a few of times ever - like, less than 5 - and it’s always been player-specific - mainly players that I know 100% of the time have AA when they pull the ol’ ‘limp/re-raise shove’ move pre-flop, or an OMC type that waits for AA (like, will only limp/call with KK) then will shove his entire stack pre-flop into a pot of $3, then will slam down his Aces like he made this amazing move and cackle at ‘that’s how you win with AA’.

He had the phone stuck between his legs, which is why he is actually staring at his crotch when he pretends to be looking at his cards.
As was pointed out in the thread, the obvious alternative answer to ‘he was cheating’ is ‘he has a magic penis telling him what to do’.

My magic penis has only two setting: all in or hold em’, depending on whom I’m playing with and the game.

Mine keeps folding :frowning:

Erectile dysfunction is a very common problem, with over 3 million reported cases a year in the US alone. It is treatable with medical help. Talk with your physician about options and treatment.

Are you sure he’s talking about ED, and not penile origami?

“It’s a crane!”

I’m always playing solitaire. :frowning:

If your Royal Flush lasts for more than 4 hours, please contact a doctor.

If only this thread were about chess I could tell you about ‘mating positions’. :wink:

You mean Texas Hold’em?

Give it time and you might be playing Old Maid.

Sure as hell isn’t Stud.
