news mike postle has been accused of stealing over $300,000 from people
playing on the stones live stream let's go to stones gambling hall we have Mike
Postle's brother let's see what he has to say but one of my funnest things
watching my brother grow up if he'd always try to find an edge and
everything you always try to find an edge and everything my brother made a
wheel and then the wheel he had different prizes like you know one
square would be a small soda the next would be popcorn you want to be a pizza
another one be five bucks I need have 50 cents and then here in
this one yeah I don't talk about the wheel of destiny here but Mike is
executing a little bluff raise here I hate to cut off your story of little my
parcel rigging a gambling wheel in his younger
days but we got some action on the river let's see how he owns the soul of his
opponent on this one he has the best hand and he still does so this is a
crazy it's not a value raised on the Turnpike it's a semi by my bluff and I
like it and he wanted to see a fold he didn't get one but he holds actually oh
yeah and he's in the pussy's in position here he's in position so if Elias open
checks which I he unless he's gonna just fire a bluff here and pray to God it's
gonna work and he's picked a fantastic time my guess has ace high can Mike he
bets are you 420 can Mike really find a hero call here what in the bloody hell
nice amount a flush draw and he thinks he missed it he might think his ace is
good he's thinking of it yeah it is so hard for that's a hard call no pair two
because he got it's how does Elias play this he checks Mike checks
turn he checks my raises Elias calls you know Mike could put a lie on just the
sort of hand he has a straight John a fleshlight didn't want a full turn and
biffed and now has to fire the common and so here's the beauty of Mike oh
he'll my trap raising Mike thinks that he's like he's like I don't really know
what this bed is by Elias ace high could be good here but I don't want to take
the chance he does raise I don't want to take the chance that I'm like I reading
a lot I'm reading Elias is riverbed as kamikaze I have to bluff to win but I
don't want to call and have him be like I have a snus with the Ace of Hearts
you're good and looks like no you're deuce is good so he doesn't want to take
that chance so good raises that's so good there's so much to be learned from
this raised by the sign right here my brother just smelt weakness he's like
you know what I'm gonna go with it I love it too and so but again let that
fine point right he smells weakness but he doesn't just go with it by calling
Holly which is right most people people will do this one would be like I think
you're bluffing I'm gonna go with my reader call and then the person so yeah
damn it ace deuce with a starts and I miss and the thing I like about him
raising just in case he didn't have a two or a three something like a small
pair he's getting them off of that you know
right exactly so you the read is good and but but I've had that happen a lot
of times it's like the five is best right now see we have an open-ended
straight draw oh the eight eight for pasal of course
yeah and sure AC here has the open industry so he's bright he's gonna make
the call all right yeah sitting there like the world is his oyster Asian have
to be cooked i D like raw on the show and that's show no cooked all in we are
joining a hand in progress we have reached the river with $2,600 in the
middle Mike P has a pair of eights for kicker any faces a two thousand dollar
river jam can he make the right decision
testing Postle now oh wow what a decision for Mike who just has the shorter stack
all in for 2,600 no mm good pair of tens great anything and everything everything
beats him but he's ahead and could win this pot and he's gonna call I think
he's gonna call 2.6 K because if you think if what did I mean the jack did
bring a couple of others but he just follows his instincts and it's good and
if something he tells you it is it you know he's definitely trying to get a
read he thinks he's good he thinks he's good he does and if he
thought he was good on the turn the jack really shouldn't have changed much you
know it's possible to someone could have backed into a jack but this is where
they make their money is this real life you're not just Postle you're the king
we're not worthy and this is why I won't sit down Oh Mike P or I won't play a
hand with them some very wise words I love this flop by the way sorry to take
the words away two spades for Brian and an Postle after facing a limp raised
preflop for 31 blinds Mike calls with the 10
suit flops middle pair faces a sea bet and what other move can you do
but shove all in put your opponent to the test you gotta have a beat with
middle pair in this spot all right here's the river with seven another Jack
the King now they run it at twice no Spade 8/8 when a proposal fossil does
that but Mike picks up pots in spots where a lot of the rest of us would not
so he's back at it now with the king queen of clubs let's see if he can make
this be the hand where he turns it around he does flop top pair but that
board is frightening I really need to start playing ten eight off suit more
aggressively just like Mike does in this hand where he limped calls arrays flops
a draw action checks through turns nothing and it's time to go for the over
bet let's attack some capped ranges we get a call from top hair the rivers are
brick what better time to shove in three thousand dollars with ten hi Kent his
opponent call with one pair of course not he snapped mocks nice hand Mike Wow
I can't believe how fast he folded so Mike open rips it into his face
the best part about playing five we're offsuit is you might flop a wheel
draw and you might be up against 5-3 offsuit which you have dominated let's
see how this hand plays out will he be able to man up and really earn this pot
on the river is five hi good wait and see what happens
not of course boss is gonna spike it how what universe is not a three on the
turret oh no that's not a three most likely - well he's got a draw to the
nuts well he's I mean he's looking at hit Jim
he's been running so good so he's you know yeah actually is hoping day it's
got a taste there and you can hit hit a straight but because because no he's not
for out yes or step on the gas pedal on the turn which is what he's doing 16%
but Casey he's gonna step on the gas pedal here and it doesn't what happened
Oh Dave called him so he Dave's also still truck so that these guys are just
going out okay so let's see let's see
alright so this this lead by Dave doesn't make any sense right he just
checked called fossils bed on the turn right so he doesn't attend then he all
said he's been pulled in by his hand on the river doesn't make any sense let's
see if Mike puts it together yeah there you go I see and that's just yeah yeah
so if Dave wants to do something he that's gotta be it
that's got a good check raise on the river fossil it's just like a freak
it's just a freak of nature no he's just a freak just doesn't make sense it's
weird well okay the stones baby welcome to the
game Postle
