Marle Cordeiro (@MarleCordeiro/Twitter) A Las Vegas poker pro filed a federal lawsuit this past weekend alleging that another player used hidden devices to cheat her out of thousands of dollars in. Benjamin 'Spraggy' Spragg asked Marle Cordeiro to marry him. And she said yes. It is tough times at the moment. In Cordeiro's homeland, the U.S. Election is coming up. The first Purge is presumably to follow the day after. Meanwhile, in Spraggy's homeland, the U.K., coronavirus has pushed the nation back into lockdown.
The famous poker vlogger, and player on the rise, Marle Cordeiro is known for being straightforward, honest to the bone, and even a little dark at times. No matter if you are a fan of her style or not, you must have come across her at least once during your poker playing endeavors. Cordeiro has certainly made headlines over the years for her controversial topics detailed on her vlog channel, such as badgering people on the street and searching for a 'Poker boyfriend'. Though her videos made quite some noise within the gambling community, even getting her to the Friday Night Poker, can we actually learn something useful from the young model turned influencer?
Knowing What You Don't Know
Marle Cordeiro Sues Fellow Poker Player Mike Postle for Cheating Written by TMZ Mike Postle played some of the best poker known to man — to the point where it made him a poker god — all because he underhandedly knew what cards his opponents were holding so claims one of them, fellow pro player Marle Cordeiro, in a new lawsuit. Cordeiro is a well-known poker vlogger and co-host of The Rake Poker Podcast. In late 2019, she was invited to be a part of the Stones Live Poker broadcast playing $10/$25/$50 no-limit hold'em in a.
When you've spent quite some time in the world of poker, having daily encounters with many different players, you notice that many of them have unreasonable amounts of confidence. And sure, it can help you to a certain extent—feeling more confident about yourself and your in-game performance—but does it take a certain toll as well?
Marle claims she had the pleasure of running into many poker players who were just starting out—yet were full of confidence—which ended up being more of a hindrance than an advantage. She advises lying low rather than placing yourself out there in the open in the beginning. The reason being, you can easily miss out on some clear warning signs telling you to slow down and think your moves through a bit better.
Hence, Marle suggests not getting scared or taken aback by asking even the most basic of questions, rather than losing great amounts of money to maintain a certain image. Because, in the end, it is better to take a toll on your ego than your bankroll, right?
Be Honest With Yourself First
Before committing yourself to the world of poker, you should ask yourself one simple question — is this what I really want? While Marle landed into gambling under unusual circumstances, you don't have to.
Namely, she has her father to thank for becoming so involved with the game — he moved their entire family to Las Vegas in hopes of becoming a professional poker player. However, despite his many efforts to learn poker rules and participate in poker tournaments, her father failed to realize his dreams of becoming a super high roller and a big name.
Meanwhile, Marle was building a career in modeling, eventually transitioning into acting, then to stand up comedy, only to end up in her father's shoes — becoming a passionate poker player as well.
But things didn't go according to plan for her either. At times, she was so broke she could barely pay her rent. This made her friends anxious about her future — hence why they advise her to quit poker altogether and look for something more profitable and stable. And they were probably right to do so, but there was one problem with that story — Marle was so passionate and enthusiastic about poker, she wouldn't settle for anything else.

And when she realized her heart and her head were both in the game, she practically started winning overnight, making a name for herself and showing everyone that she is not a pushover.
Do Not Get Obsessed
Although Marle leads a satisfying and fulfilled life as a poker player, she teaches one valuable lesson — finding yourself in other things that make you happy. For her, that thing is vlogging. Sharing daily updates about her life and her amazing poker journey, while connecting with others, is an awesome combination. What's more, these are not just her fans she connects with, but other big names including Joey Ingram, Daniel Negreanu, and even Justin Bonomo — who regularly chimes in to comment on Cordeiro's quirky posts.
No matter where your career path takes you, you can definitely learn a few things from Marle Cordeiro; and apply them along the way. Essentially, creating a perfect balance between work and pleasure.
A poker player involved in the multi-million-dollar lawsuit against alleged poker cheat Mike Postle is now filing her own lawsuit against him.
Poker pro and vlogger Marle Cordeiro is suing Postle for $250,000 in damages after filing a lawsuit in a U.S. District Court in Southern Nevada. The suit, initially reported by TMZ, charged Postle with violating the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, and two counts of negligence.
Cordeiro is being represented by Mac VerStandig, the gaming attorney also handling the larger lawsuit against Postle. VerStandig filed the suit on April 4.
The suit alleges that Postle, who won roughly $250,000 in small-stakes live streamed cash games at Stone Gambling Hall, had information about his opponents' hole cards sent to his phone in real time.
'While playing in Stones Live Poker games, Mr. Postle would stare – often repeatedly – between his legs, at his cellular telephone, so as to study the Hole Cards of other players, and would then use the superior knowledge gleaned from such study (the ultimate form of poker cheating) to defraud those players in a systematic and highly-effective manner,' read the lawsuit.
Court documents also cited the fact that Postle never played on any other live streamed poker game, despite being invited to play on Live at the Bike! shortly after the cheating allegations broke last October, and that his 94 percent win rate at Stones was simply unachievable.
'In short, Mr Postle's poker winnings – considered in both prism of both metrics and hand-for-hand decision making – on Stones Live Poker have been not merely outliers, but in fact, exponential outliers representing a quality of play multiple degrees higher than that achieved by the best poker players in the world,' read the suit.
Cordeiro alleges that Postle was aided by 'one or more confederates' that helped get him the live stream information to his phone. Many high-stakes players and poker experts in the community believe that person to be Justin Kuraitis, Stones' tournament director that also was in charge of live streams.
Card Player had previously reached out to Stones about the employment status of Kuraitis, but the staff would not comment on the situation.
The suit also points out that when Kuraitis was out of town, Postle's results weren't as superhuman as they normally seemed. As well as one time where Postle may have unintentionally implicated himself.
Court documents pointed to a specific instance on May 6, 2019 where Postle left the pot-limit Omaha game and visited the commentary booth to talk about his on-the-felt actions. During his commentary stint, he admitted that he had knowledge that the stream only displayed two of the four hole cards.
Given that he was in the game the entire time, the suit alleges that there was no way that Postle could have that information without having prior knowledge of what was happening on-stream.

Finally, Cordeiro points to a hand she played against Postle in one of the lone high-stakes streamed games. In a $10-$25-$50 no-limit hold'em game, Cordeiro flopped the nut straight with Q-10 on a J-9-8 flop against Postle's Q-J.
Postle checked and called a bet on the flop before checking and folding to a single bet on the turn.
'In a vacuum, this could be attributed to the Defendant having a conservative demeanor, having a quality ‘read' on Ms. Cordeiro, or being exhausted at the end of a long night of poker; in the context of his fraudulent cheating operation, and realizing he was playing with the illicit advantage of knowing Ms. Cordeiro's Hole Cards, this is only attributable to his tortious conduct,' read the suit.
