Poker God or Cheating Scum?

2+2 thread on Mike Postle would be all you need to get all this info heatmap.

As far as the RFID the players have a designated spot on the felt in front of them to put their cards so that the reader can read their cards. It’s a lot simpler than you are making it out to be.

This is the only place I’ve looked at this. The forum layout of 2+2 gives me a headache I’ll take a look thanks

Watch the Polk video that’s linked is the Miscellaneous thread on this board. Good intro.

The Justin angle is super interesting and disgusting. I haven’t seen recent speculation about other possible super users at Stones. Early on there was mention of at least one other player with an unlikely win streak.

guys that thread is over 50 pages long already... smh... well maybe ill print the whole damn thread out and treat it like a book... that i will read the first couple of pages of ;)

I saw a cool idea on Twitter. There are different variations, but you have a game where one player is the super user, but nobody else knows who. But, if you identify the super user you get a big reward and they get a penalty. Let's just say, you get half their stack.

Another cool thing to think about is if you were playing a super user and knew they were superusing. Who would have the advantage?

For example, if you had a medium strength hand and they bed small, you know you are probably beat and they are hoping for a call. But if they bet yuge, you know they are probably bluffing.

It would be just awesome to watch the superuser lose his effing mind in this situation.

leave it to the world to create a game out of this

Apologies for the peanut gallery comment: I'd love to have Postle and his opponents from the streams to play again without RFID cards and just have cameras like in the 1980s broadcasts of the WSOP. Even without knowing the hole cards, it'd be interesting for the audience to see if Postle can even come close to his success.

Doug Polk’s video.

Scott Seiver said it best, it’s not about if he was cheating anymore it is about how he was doing it.

im still going to say in my opn there needs to be a way to differentiate between mucked and hole and not dealt cards in order for this to be possible but i will side that he is cheating

edit 1....

annnnnddd they had a "graphics error" in one of the streams, and changed a dudes card from 7 something, to a straight in one of the games haha the RFID thing is in question now....

Viewed the Polk video, spent 30 minutes on the 2+2 thread and watched some of the other videos.

The fact that- 3 times- the House announcers declared that the RFID technology had misread Postle's hole cards and declared that his hole cards were really the nuts - seems to be evidence that one or more of the announcers (I.e., his brother Jason) were in on the cheat.

It seems likely that Postle was simply getting a live feed from the streaming broadcast on his phone showing the cards associated with the players. Remember he was a principal in setting up the system that reads the cards and puts them into the broadcast.

Even in a court of law, it is possible to be convicted based on overwhelming circumstantial evidence. Their is only one possible conclusion - Postle is a cheat and his brother Jason is a cheat. They should both be stripped of their clothes, tarred and feathered and run out of town on a rail.

I don’t mean this to be rude but you have no idea how RFID works. They changed the graphic because of what Postle said, there is 0% chance the RFID malfunctioned.
