[Doobs]

Is that bloke the one who's supposed to be in on it?

So you have been accused of a major crime, scamming hundreds of thousands in broad daylight, the wisdom of thousands of poker players crowd sourced to provide evidence of the alleged cheating and ESPN do a feature on it all.

Do you lawyer up?

Do you forensically go through the arguments against you and refute them?

Do you ask for a right of reply with Joe Ingram who has made the most detailed arguments against you?

Or do you wait for Mike Matusow to, in his words, get really fucking stoned and let him interview you?

Thanks Barry.

I'm WAY too fascinated by this whole saga. There have been many bigger & worse scams for sure, but this one is a purler, like a Dick Francis novel. I can't stop reading & watching everything about it. The 2+2 thread reached 150 pages, 3,700 replies & 400,000 views this morning. Awesome.

Having said all that, I can't, even in this case, bring myself to listen to Mr Matusow giving large. That's a step too far even for someone as tolerant as me.  He is poker's answer to Liz Truss, which I feel bad for thinking & saying. I mean, that's real bad. Bad bad.

I think this video sums up why this is such a compelling story

I've just seen this review of the Matusow interview on Twitter.

"It was the most dreadful thing I've ever listened to and my kids are learning violin"

Go to Mouthpiece interview, fast forward to 28 minutes and listen to Mike Postle full interview, worth listening tooooooooo

I think 20 minutes listening to that will be above average.  The whole thing was pretty painful, but I am not an unbiassed listener. Can't say I look forward to Matusow sitting at my table in live games (or anywhere in the room I am in).

Think Joey was doing a breakdown of that podcast as I finished work ~4, but I wasn't staying up for that

Making my way through it now but by all accounts Postle's defence in part 2 with Matusow is simply the greatest player in the world

[Marky147]

This is just LOL bad.
