Several well known current and former poker players are organizing a complete review of hands that Mike Postle participated in during Stones Gambling Hall live streams.
A number of famous poker people — including Phil Galfond, Matt Berkey, Bart Hanson, and Haralobos Voulgaris — are expressing interest in conducting a full public audit of Mike Postle hand histories.
The high profile social media outreach represents the latest chapter in an ongoing dispute concerning how much money Mike Postle won overall while playing on Stones Live Cash Game streams.
Mike Postle Hand Histories Requested Following Justin Kuraitis Tweet
Earlier this month, a total of 60 plaintiffs settled a civil suit against the northern California cardroom along with Justin Kuraitis.
The Stones tournament director promptly released his own statement calling out members of the “poker community” who, according to Kuraitis, have continued to spread a narrative that does not reflect video evidence available on the corresponding live streams.
Former high stakes poker player Haralobos Voulgaris responded to Kuraitis’ Twitter post by suggesting the parties involved “commission several people or auditors to independently go through all the videos” — a process that co-plaintiff and Solve For Why Academy instructor Matt Berkey says can be partially automated via proper code.
I have a student who has written code to screen scrape all these hands and convert them into a stars formatted hand history which can be converted to PT4 database. He was still beta testing last I followed up, but I'm certain he'd be capable of getting this done

Run It Once Poker executive Phil Galfond specifically took issue with the tone of Kuraitis’ post-settlement tweet — informing social media followers that he will submit a “detailed report” for public consideration once and if the Mike Postle hand histories are properly exported into a spreadsheet file.
Should Justin Kuraitis Be Blackballed from Working in Poker Industry?
Professional poker player and Crush Live Poker administrator Bart Hanson is separately asking the World Series of Poker brand to blackball Justin Kuraitis from gaining future employment opportunities with the Caesars Entertainment subsidiary.
One thing not mentioned here is that @JFKPokerTD worked for the @WSOP last summer.. can we get a commitment from the @WSOP that next doesn’t ever work there again?

Will a new “spreadsheet” derived from automated scraping of Mike Postle hand histories prove once and for all how much money Postle was awarded (in total) while competing on Stones Live Cash Game streams?
