Sorry I've just watched a random show with Mike Apostle on yt and I have to say - by this small sample - bullshit. Assuming he cheats, I don't see how. He played dominating hands with very classic conservative playstyle, not unnecessarily asking for value. He made risky pre flop all ins. He bluffed loosing hands. All sort of stuff that happens in an average poker game. Not sure why I even watched him playing considering the awful article.

Exactly correct, but this is when he wasn't God-moding. 2017 believe no evidence of cheating. 2018 just one episode (Aug 22) where it was likely. Much of 2019 sessions he was super using/god-moding though. All the streams that he is a normalish player is actually some of the most damning evidence. He doesn't even resemble the same sort of player. Everything is different. All of the physical tells (touching the hat and gazing down at crotch while pretending to look at cards) and cheating indications are no longer present, and he never gets into the type of hand situations and/or crazy moves and perfect-for-all-the-hands decisions he was making in God mode.
Focusing on the wrong things is a great way to lose lots of money in poker, and in life.
Thanks for the help mate. I will now focus on the right things.
