Mike Postle Cheating Scandal

Have you guys been following this crazy poker scandal involving Mike Postle and his "questionable" play during Stones Live Poker streams? I urge you to check out Joey Ingram's Twitter feed for an extremely thorough breakdown of the allegations. Mad props to Joey for the countless hours of research that he (and others like Doug Polk and Haralobos Voulgaris) have put in on this topic. His posts on the topic start around September 28th, so scroll down his feed quite a bit to get the full picture.

While nothing has been proven, the accusations against Postle are serious, in that he had access to hole card information while playing on the stream. He won something like 62 out of 69 sessions he played and is up in the range of $250k playing mostly $1/3 and $5/5 NLHE since 2018. I've watched some of the Stones Live Poker footage -- I'm honestly surprised it is still available -- and it's sketchy as hell.

What are your thoughts on the scandal? Have you ever been a victim of cheating at the poker table?
