Mike\nPostle\u2019s near-perfect games at the Stones Live Poker between July and September\nhave caught the eye of Veronica Brill, who publicly suggested that the player\nhad been cheating. Now, a lawsuit by Brill and 24 other players is about to\nfind out. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Mike\nPostle<\/strong> has been a\ndivisive name in the poker community recently. On September 28, Veronica\nBrill<\/strong>, a former commentator on Stones Live Poker<\/a>, Stones Gambling Hall, accused\nPostle of playing unorthodox hands. Moreover, she accused him of cheating. <\/p>\n\n\n\n On Twitter\nshe called for a proper investigation into what appeared to be some pretty slim-odd\nhands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For\nstarters, Postle had played deep stacked $1-$3 game where he raised the bet to\n$5,000 \u2013 an amount that defied all logic, no matter how strong your hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To make\nmatters worse, Postle was holding A-2<\/strong> against a board of Q-Q-4-5<\/strong>.\nBrill would not be throwing accusations lightly, and so many players followed\nup on her tweet, looking into footage of Postle playing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n On one\noccasion, he was facing off an opponent with 8-8 against his 10-10 and a board\nof 9-9-3-10-8. When asked about that accident, Postle simply responded that\nthere was a technical malfunction, which wrongly displayed an 8-7 hand as 8-8. <\/p>\n\n\n\n That same\nexcuse was used on other occasions as well. The mistake was attributed to the RFID\nsoftware, which reads the hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAccusations <\/strong>Against Mike Postle Cheating Continue <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
