After receiving an acquittal in a court of law, poker player Mike Postle has launched a defamatory lawsuit against his accusers.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The cheating saga involving the name of Mike Postle<\/strong> continues, as once the defendant, Mr. Postle is now the plaintiff in a $330 million defamation lawsuit<\/strong>. The lawsuit was filed on October 1<\/strong> and comes as a slap in the face of the plaintiffs in the original case, which cited the Stones Gambling Hall<\/a> in Citrus Heights, California, Mr. Postle and another person as part of a conspiracy to defraud players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mr. Postle’s winnings did climb rather rapidly during his stint at Stones Gambling Hall<\/strong> and he eventually attracted the ire of Veronica Brill<\/strong>, an established poker personality who spearheaded the attack on Mr. Postle’s personality, suspecting cheating. While Mr. Postle has been acquitted, the poker community at large still doubts his credibility, something that he now uses as the basis of his legal counter-offensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The lawsuit is quite ambitious in its scope and goes beyond the official plaintiffs, who involved Ms. Brill herself. Mr. Postle has felt offended by a number of high-profile community members, including Daniel Negreanu<\/strong>, a Canadian poker legend, and Haralabos Voulgaris<\/strong>, another professional player who is now involved with quantitative research for the Dallas Mavericks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yet, they are not the only once. Phil Galfond<\/strong>, member of the Run It Once educational poker community was also named in the lawsuit because he went on to analyze thousands of Mr. Postle’s hands and implied that the probability of some plays was very unlikely. Mr. Postle is even targeting ESPN which aired a SportsCenter<\/strong> episode in which it discussed the scandal and brought up his name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In his lawsuit, Mr. Postle claims that he is the victim of conspiracy, and that his accusers have rallied together to damage his reputation and personality. In honesty, Mr. Postle has not had it easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMike Postle Is on the Offensive with $330m Lawsuit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
