He’s speaking of Ivey I imagine.

You're probably right. I don't equate what Ivey did with what is going on here. Ivey beat the casino by playing within the casinos own rules.

Ivey requested that the baccarat dealer sort the cards in a certain way, and she complied, that is on them - not Ivey. IMHO.

I equate what Ivey did with card counting at blackjack. Not cheating.

This thread is sort of funny in a way, you have zit ad nauseum slamming this guy because he cheated.

Then someone brings up notorious cheater Phil Ivey and says not the same situation and then compounds his error by stating

Cheating is Cheating no matter who it has an effect on.

What if a guy dropped a $100 bill and another guy standing near by saw it and walked over and picked it up and walked away. What about going to the bank and the teller giving you back too much money and you know it.

Would you say it was ok to take from the bank and be pissed at the guy that took the other guys $100?

This so called poker player got caught but nothing has been done, why didn't they 86 him from the place? Why didn't they shut down the game from being shown live? Why haven't they come out and said we fucked up and offered restitution for this fuck job. It's not like they don't have the money to cover it. But wait they can't say that because their reputation as an honest poker room goes up in flames.

If you are so upset over this and you weren't involved, you should be upset over the fraud poker room called Global Poker you so love to state how you crush it there. Do a search on the fraud, I am not wasting my time educating you on it. Google is your friend.

1. You call Ivey a "notorious cheater." Other than him taking advantage of the casino providing trackable cards in baccarat, what other instances of "cheating" do you have to label him this way?
2. When I count cards in blackjack and adjust my play accordingly, do you consider me to be a cheater? Why or why not?
3. I have no idea why you have your panties in a wad about me posting about playing at global poker

It's clear you are the one with their panties in a bunch regarding something you have nothing to do with nor ever will. I just called you out on your hypocrisy is all.

No you didn't. You conveniently didn't answer any of my questions, because you know they expose your post as being meaningless blather.

I don’t see this guy’s situation and Ivey’s situation being remotely the same thing.

I thought I read that Ivey provided his own marked deck for the edge sorting session, but I just googled it bc of this and found that the casino did indeed provide it when he requested it be used. Interesting. Brutal he lost both court cases

ivey communicated the terms in advance to the casino. they accepted.
the staff, suits, and the cameras watched him like a hawk.
HE DID NOT CHEAT. he did allow the casinos' greed to let
them agree to terms that in hindsight were not in their best
interest. he would be called an ADVANTAGE player not a cheater.
since the casinos have great input in many states regarding
the statutes, rules, and decisions along with hating advantage
players, they were able to convince the courts that ivey had
transgressed, cheated, or taken advantage of the casinos by
using the aforementioned statutes etc to make ivey return
the money he won. a travesty of a decision, but not unexpected
viewing the casinos' contempt for winners and their ability
to make themselves look like uninformed victims when they
lose.

Mike Postle Accused of Avoiding Court Summons

<time datetime="2020-01-08T12:16:00-08:00" style="box-sizing: border-box; opacity: 1;">January 08, 2020</time>Mo Nuwwarah

After weeks of speculation over the next steps in the Mike Postle cheating saga, an update has finally emerged, though it may not be as substantial as many onlookers hoped.
Legal machinations against Postle began in October after he allegedly cheated dozens of players out of hundreds of thousands of dollars in livestreamed cash games at Stones Gambling Hall.
The update, from Vegas Slots Online, does not paint the picture of a man fighting back against false charges.


According to the reporting, a process server spent a large chunk of the month of December attempting to serve Postle with legal paperwork giving notice of the impending civil lawsuit against him. In all, the server attempted to make contact with Postle on five separate days, coming up empty-handed on each occasion.
Mac VerStandig, attorney for the plaintiffs, then made his own attempt to serve Postle with the summons.
The whole bizarre story is worth a read, but according to VerStandig, he approached Postle's residence in California and spent several minutes attempting to ring the doorbell and knocking on the door, eliciting no response. Rather than leave, VerStandig said he surveilled the place until spotting Postle inside, at which point he resumed ultimately unsuccessful attempts to serve the paperwork.
VerStandig also reported attempting to reach Postle through his criminal defense attorney, which also proved fruitless.
Next Steps

While Postle may wish to stay hidden away from the world and pocket whatever remains of his allegedly pilfered poker winnings, that won't be an option with pending legal action against him. He can't simply pretend this is a bad ending to what was once appeared to be a lucrative dream. At some point, he'll have to respond or risk the court granting judgment against him.
Postle's next moves will be watched by everyone following this landmark story, and PokerNews will continue to monitor the latest developments.

Craziness. Everyone knows he is guilty. Not sure if they can prove it though but hope they do. He's a loser

The civil lawsuit filed against Mike Postle and other defendants is facing serious delays as it makes its way through the court system of the United States, testing the patience of the poker community and everyone else eager to know the truth.
The final outcome of the story that broke in September 2019, when Veronica Brill first aired her strong suspicions that something in the way a relatively unknown player in the poker world, Mike Postle, was playing and winning almost every hand in small stakes livestreamed cash games in Stones Gambling Hall in Citrus Hill, CA and raised the issue of the integrity of the game among players, fans and casino establishments, is now being delayed as all defendants responses face postponements until mid-March.
But the story did not break out easily, even after Brill signalled some officials in the Stones that it was possibly inhuman to achieve such a VPIP and run into this god-like mode, until she decided to contact the person that might have an interest in a brewing poker scandal, Joey Ingram, who on his turn chose a 5-hour stream of Postle’s play and fired it up to his fans.
Soon after every single hand was combed through by Ingram and co, Ingram asked for the opinion of two other high-profile players to help him confirm or reject his suspicions of cheating, Haralabos Voulgaris and Scott Seiver, and then the story became full blown out into the public.
Calculating hand by hand, the group of fans and players around Ingram found out Postle had won almost $250,000 by playing just $1/$3 and $2/$5 cash games, a win rate that placed him so far off the scale as an outlier that it left no doubt something fishy had happened.
On February 26, on behalf of Brill and the other 24 plaintiffs that filed the $10 million lawsuit against Mike Postle, Justin Kuraitis and King’s Casino, Mac VerStandig of the VerStandig Law Firm filed two documents with the US District Court of the Eastern District of California, to allow more time for the defendants to respond to the complaint.
As Postle did not even acknowledge he had been served his court papers until January 8, and weeks later becoming clear he still had no representation for the case, the plaintiffs are now asking the court to agree to extend further the initial delayed February 26 date to March 24 so that he may respond to the complaint, stipulating that the defendant cannot file a response before March 4.
The law firm representing the plaintiffs asks for further delays for the other 2 plaintiffs, Justin Kuraitis, the former tournament director at Stones Gambling Hall, and King’s Casino, the owner of the gambling hall in Citrus Hill, to March 13, with the currently asked delays being third and fourth, respectively.
Hopefully, there will be no more delays and the poker community will have a reasonable explanation how it is possible to crush the tables on a regular basis by winning almost every hand and consistently run in the top 95% of the statistical probability, but only during livestreamed cash games.

Obviously, he was cheating - he is getting a big judgment against him - only thing he personally has going is that the casino is getting sued also - he probably does not have the money and the casino does - I don't think he can admit to cheating because it's criminal - it's become such a big deal that I sure the DA's office is leaning all over the casino that those involved are going to accept a deal and sing on Postel - it's only a matter of time before his ass is in prison - he may be best to admit everything and pay everything back immediately to possibly avoid prison

</section><section id="cb-a33adc206f049b31cb202dc73f369903" class="canvas-block canvas-block-permalink canvas-text-block canvas-text-block-permalink canvas-text-block--default " data-context="**"section":"permalink","name":"text_block"**" style="box-sizing: border-box; position: relative; margin-bottom: 1.125rem; clear: none; word-spacing: 0.141667em;">Cordeiro claims over a series of games on the Stones Live Poker broadcast beginning in 2018, Postle won more money than any other player and was often the winningest player on the show on any night he participated ... because she says he cheated using his cell phone.

</section><section id="cb-0775b77b9c224375b7bc81484d522334" class="canvas-block canvas-block-permalink canvas-text-block canvas-text-block-permalink canvas-text-block--default " data-context="**"section":"permalink","name":"text_block"**" style="box-sizing: border-box; position: relative; margin-bottom: 1.125rem; clear: none; word-spacing: 0.141667em;">For the uninitiated -- hole cards are the cards only an individual player can see and are unknown to the other players at the table, but for the purposes of television ... cameras are able to reveal the hole cards to the viewing public.
</section><section id="cb-825c7c63806dff739c0ffcfd9a6a2086" class="canvas-block canvas-block-permalink canvas-text-block canvas-text-block-permalink canvas-text-block--default " data-context="**"section":"permalink","name":"text_block"**" style="box-sizing: border-box; position: relative; margin-bottom: 1.125rem; clear: none; word-spacing: 0.141667em;">In the suit, Cordeiro claims Postle was somehow able to get this camera feed to his cell phone ... so he could view their hole cards. She believes he was also "aided by one or more confederates," but she's not sure who they are yet.
</section><section id="cb-a631ec49114931a1ed0fee1c631e1556" class="canvas-block canvas-block-permalink canvas-text-block canvas-text-block-permalink canvas-text-block--default " data-context="**"section":"permalink","name":"text_block"**" style="box-sizing: border-box; position: relative; margin-bottom: 1.125rem; clear: none; word-spacing: 0.141667em;">Cordeiro claims as evidence, Postle was regularly seen looking down between his legs at his cell phone during gameplay ... and he cashed in 94 percent of the games while playing in the Stones Live Poker games -- an unheard of statistic in the poker world. She says he hardly played in any other tournaments besides Stones, either ... which she claims is odd for a poker star.
</section><section id="cb-798762e23e5812f22b36715d767db162" class="canvas-block canvas-block-permalink canvas-text-block canvas-text-block-permalink canvas-text-block--default " data-context="**"section":"permalink","name":"text_block"**" style="box-sizing: border-box; position: relative; margin-bottom: 1.125rem; clear: none; word-spacing: 0.141667em;">According to the docs ... Cordeiro claims Postle also slipped up during an interview and mentioned that the broadcast only showed 2 out of 4 of the players' hole cards during one hand of pot limit Omaha -- something he would not have known unless he had access to the broadcast.
</section><section id="cb-e8a2d7cfa5180b234da8ff70ff352592" class="canvas-block canvas-block-permalink canvas-text-block canvas-text-block-permalink canvas-text-block--default " data-context="**"section":"permalink","name":"text_block"**" style="box-sizing: border-box; position: relative; margin-bottom: 1.125rem; clear: none; word-spacing: 0.141667em;">Finally, Cordeiro claims during one no-limit hold 'em hand she went against Postle in a September 2019 game, she would have profited thousands of dollars against him had he been playing legit poker ... but she claims he folded instead, because he could view her cards.
</section><section id="cb-1bfabb2d6f885bda96995df13d19657a" class="canvas-block canvas-block-permalink canvas-text-block canvas-text-block-permalink canvas-text-block--default canvas-block-is-last " data-context="**"section":"permalink","name":"text_block"**" style="box-sizing: border-box; position: relative; margin-bottom: 1.125rem; clear: none; word-spacing: 0.141667em;">She's suing Postle for her lost winnings on that hand plus other unspecified damages.
