I'm also in a few leagues that send players to Main series. We have 4 different PS Home game clubs going all week. Not the same but we get on chat and it's a blast.
I play with some friends and we played over video through Covid, which was fun and entertaining, but not great poker. It was mostly so that we could hang out a little bit and have a few laughs. We're pretty casual and aren't playing for huge stakes or anything.
I'd be down for a CP poker night though and I actually talked to a CPer about that months ago, but forgot to post anything about it!
That's pretty cool. I'd be all for setting up an online CP game (maybe one day to become in person games)... PokerStars has the homegame club feature, so if there's enough interest I could start something up.

Yeah some buddies and I set that up. Bit of a pain, seems like you need a Windows laptop, apple, mobile, etc doesn't seem to work.
I'd be interested, though I seem to play a lot looser with digital chips...
The Cheating Scandal That Ripped the Poker World Apart
Mike Postle was on an epic winning streak at a California casino. Veronica Brill thought he had to be playing dirty. Let the chips fall where they may.

There are a few videos which highly suggest that he is a cheater. This one shows that he knew his cards weren't scanning for the teleprompt, but that is something that he shouldn't have known.
There's another that has an even more damning event that I saw about a year ago, but I can't find it right now. I'm comfortable saying that Mike Postle is cheating. Almost all of the professional players that watch him play have a bad feeling about him, right off the bat there's something off.

‘It seems people have focused on winrate, which helps but isn't the best way to prove guilt or innocence,’ explained Galfond.
‘What was his river bluff success rate?
How often did he make a big bet or raise vs the (near) nuts?
How often did he take aggressive action w/ a chop? (shout out @BartHanson)…’
Joey Ingram did a deep, deep dive into the Postle thing. Just look it up on YouTube. Also, the thread in 2+2 was quite epic. He was clearly cheating, and the evidence is beyond a reasonable doubt if you understand poker, but not sufficient to convict him. The civil suit against the casino was dismissed.
I watched a few of those vids by Ingram, he was pretty fired up. I'm surprised one of the players didn't say anything earlier to him about continually looking down at his crotch and playing big hands with cards like 5/4 offsuit. It looked really sketchy a long time before anyone came out and said something.

I’ll have to watch the video but can you please clarify the bolded? It seems contradictory as if the evidence is beyond a reasonable doubt that should be enough to convict. Or are you saying he should have been convicted but the judge/jury didn’t have enough understanding of poker to remove this doubt?
