What's the biggest scandal in the last decade of poker?

[@devinreed5725]

My 8 year old son beating me off of pocket aces with a low strait run out with 2/3. Or him bluffing me off my pocket k.

[@aguilas1999]

Mike postle commiting grand theft robbery on live television and still got away.

[@giacalonebuilding4443]

Postle for sure. Robbi close second

[@user-gx2yy1df6f]

Postle for sure !

[@martinedwards4522]

the biggest scandal?... to me is that nobody gets punished for cheating

[@armandosuba3427]

Gold misunderstood that they were splitting 😂 Karma he didn't have same success after People should question his integrity He doesn't have any

[@randallross420]

IDK why phones are even allowed at a card table.

[@PokerBoomYT]

Yeah they shouldn't be

[@hikimies]

@@PokerBoomYT well actualy, there is "sort of" a simple anser to this. because nowdays people are so un social and intervert and (here comes the main reason) so god damn ADHD that hey cant handle not doing sometihng for hour, let alone a full day. iwe been a live player for 24 years and i hate people using any electronic device on table even now that i only play a homegames 80% use them and im like, (u could have stayed home to do that and blaah blaah) but im "old" generation of poker. it was called a gentlemans game then, now its called "i use anything to f up the opponent as long as i get my money". Just the way i see it now (most days).

[@sumyungchong]

Definitely should go back to the old rules where you have to get up from your seat to go on your phone.

[@benjaminkamm6031]

Gold is just the worst.

[@curtisw502]

Gold is the worst but his Main Event run was the craziest I've ever seen.

[@Jjbird17]

Still to this day can’t believe not one person said hey you notice Postal keeps looking at his phone? I’m going to sneak behind him see what’s going on

[@user-gx2yy1df6f]

If i didn't know what was going on but you showed me 10 consecutive hands of his i'd say " He keeps looking down at his crotch, what's down there anyway", WHAT ? ! his phone "?! 5,000 have watched this video, you should have at least 1,000 likes !

[@gregunderwood4679]

For sure. Put it (back) on the rail.

[@nycitylifeandhistory]

Exactly

[@gregwaisso6838]

Yes, and that tells me that it was a way more coerced effort than one or two guys. These scams just keep popping up. Hans Neiman also cheated in chess. I'm 100% sure about this. Yet so many take up for him. Without the public, you have no poker tournaments. The organizers are not hosting one because they are such sweet people. They are doing it because they make a fortune at it! It takes the public's support though. They can't even guarantee that everything is fair. There are corrupting spirits at work literally everywhere now. Everything that is made is suddenly double the price and last 20% as long as before. Long story short, these cheating scandals are a very organized effort with many in on it and making it nearly impossible to prove it. Like seeing someone's hole cards. There are only one source that that information goes to! That is so easy to track down, but strangely no one mentions this because it is a coverup from people higher up than the ones organizing a poker tournament.

[@antzooma]

until you suspect it's cheating then it is just a guy looking at his phone

[@AllTheSmoke90]

Who gives who money to buy into a tournament is nobodies business but the two involved parties.

[@alton31ellis]

Agreed. No issue here.

[@evelynroadmedia9415]

You would think so, but the tournament wants to know because in some cases it can be used as a form of cheating. There is a case where someone paid one or a number of players entry fee, the player paying the fees said that if they ever go heads up, the other player will auto fold regardless of the hand they have, which is basically giving him free chips, if the time arises. It did when they both was on the same table, so basically the tournament is saying it is ok, as long as it does not involve one player getting an unfair advantage over anyone else.

[@danplath1]

Lol yea, except they could be cheating together.

[@armthesharks6904]

Well it literally broke rules so no... not true lmao

[@donmasacre4919]

The chess master Zhou there's also a lot of speculations about her all-time highest rating. The rumor is that some of those tournaments are rigged to artificially increase her rating.

[@rachit4487]

That's pretty much most chess grandmasters now lol. It's equivalent of undefeated boxing records and is a big problem in chess.

[@mikewilliams3509]

Robbi if she did cheat and was even halfway smart about it she should've stuck with the story she thought she had j3

[@golfmaniac007]

I think she mistook her hand as being J3 but then changed her story during the hand cuz she was embarrassed by the mistake.

[@user-gx2yy1df6f]

OK i would never cheat, HOWEVER, if i was to cheat i'd just play my regular game and then when the flush card or straight card hit the river , THEN i'd peek . postle couldn't even allow himself to take a beat! it's more than just stealing money, he crushed souls and ruined peoples confidence in themselves, unforgivable !!!

[@nycitylifeandhistory]

So CLEARLY Postle was looking at something in his lap so have someone walk up behind him or the player next to him look over

[@H4mStr4mGr4m]

The constant text full screen highlighting the script is really obnoxious.

[@bobbyqaeda]

Then go away

[@golfmaniac007]

U produce the video then

[@seans7228]

Whack that Postle cheated at low stakes for 250K 😂😂😂

[@GolfDad]

He should give her money back first.

[@ChrisSuswal-de9tj]

There should be NO technology allowed at the tables. Phones should be put aside. No ear buds or any tech in the pocket. Patted down before we get to the tables

[@PkrDealer86]

Games would be better too, people would be forced to socialize and open up

[@alton31ellis]

I don’t see how having a backed casts any doubt on your winning as a player nor why it’s even controversial.

[@william8541]

The Jack four hand anybody who legitimately won that money would have never given it back

[@rebar33]

Unless hou are looking for tik tok fame. By yourvlogic this mrans Mike Postle is innocent. He didnt return anything but Robbi did.

[@Blackbeard0531]

Regardless of whether Gold was backed or not. He’s my least favorite player to watch. The way he patronized players during his WSOP win, drove me nuts. The most annoying player in history.

[@evelynroadmedia9415]

Robbi has not been through big ups and downs, she was a low end player at best playing against some big cash game players, I think they even explained that she was a last minute entry and given money so she had some chips to use during the game. Every high end player would accept an amateur to the table if they had the money to lose, they basically see then as cash machines because lower end players lose their nerves and fold to a big big raise or have too much money to worry about only having a small percentage to win a hand (too loose).

[@DazednMildlyConfused]

so Postle just dominated everyone and they couldn't believe it... real inclusive sport

[@johnderfler5183]

So if you get suspended from a online poker site, what keeps the suspended player from getting a guy or girl to enter the tournament, and the suspended person from sitting next to the guy or gal and tell them how to play a hand. Your invisible on a computer.

[@AmbitiousAngel]

"you're" ... buddy , come on you should know this by now! 😉

[@teddyforest5693]

Really weird, like he got caught lacking

[@JJforShie1]

How did that lady with J 4 cheat?

[@mark5071]

There is no evidence of her cheating. It's just that the play she made, and the things she said afterwards were kinda suspect. The play itself is weird, and when she's trying to explain her thought process it doesn't make any sense. A lot of people suspect her of cheating, other people think she just made a really bad play and got lucky.

[@DanielOrteez]

These poker players are always winning thousands of dollars a hand, but they can't afford to pay a $10g buy-in on their own?

[@frankyboy44444]

I normally dislike recycled content. But these videos are always beautiful. Great editing, suitin voice. Keep it up! 🤌🏽

[@PokerBoomYT]

I appreciate that!

[@reedg2571]

If Robbi is gonna cheat why would she do it on a coin-flip call? Just doesn’t make sense.

[@Doc_Antle]

What about Schindler? Never said how he cheated, he doesn't pay with a hat mask or sleeves, does he have x-ray contacts or something? 😂

[@user-gx2yy1df6f]

on the J4 hand wouldn't that mean that robbie KNEW the river card? i mean garret had tons of outs, if i knew his hand i don't think i could call.

[@vlet5995]

Not necessarily. If she just knew that it was a flip, folding would be -EV. It’d be like having money in the middle, and your opponent betting to try to make you fold a river coin flip in which you have slightly better odds

[@giacalonebuilding4443]

@@vlet5995true but if you had that info you would have much better spots than a coin flip. I don’t think robbi knew the cards. It’s just so bizarre it doesn’t make sense whether she was or wasn’t cheating.

[@henriksenlaw]

Against his actual hand she is an appreciable favorite and the call is profitable, but not knowing his hand she should frequently be a dog against his range of hands.

[@lilsleepy3332]

she's an airhead with a ton of money. not completely unfathomable she'd make a stupid ego call with jack high. i've seen worse, albeit not for as much money.

[@captainclutch8463]

There are systems designed to just tell you what seat will win that hand without knowing what the other person has so she could have known she would win without knowing how much equity Garret had in the hand

[@FlabbyButter]

It’s safe to say J4 ruined HCL for good. They tried to bring it back but no one wants to get involved with their bullshit anymore.

[@AmbitiousAngel]

Bro HCL is doing very well still. They regularly have nose-bleed games going on with no issue. Even more than that: AFTER the scandal (8 months after at least) they had a few days where EVERY player on the table had to sit with 1 million dollars minimum.

[@FlabbyButter]

@@AmbitiousAngel for the first day yes but every day after was 500k.

[@michaeltorrent7829]

3:06 JFC! Controversy, not his life story!

[@chriskoshinski]

[@user-gx2yy1df6f]

Gold is a snake , in the AA vs. KK hand against sammy Farha he tried to squeeze every nickel from sam he could get but when he realized the jig was up he begged for mercy, btw sammy kinda blew that hand by his reverse acting.

[@Haanski]

Yea how so? I am friends with Boski and have never seen him do anything unethical. If anything he makes sure games are run fairly and cares about the integrity of the game. The most you could say about him that I would agree with him as that he can be a nit sometimes. Guess what though, that isn't against the rules. I do the same thing sometimes to increase my win rate. So what exactly has Boski done that is unethical?

[@lcunash8093]

Why the fuck would gold need someone to put up 10k for him? How is he a gambler and doesn't have 10k

[@valthar3655]

This is what i don't get either. He'd been playing and playing well for several years before 2006, so why would he even need someone to front him the 10k? And even if they did and he went back on his "deal" with his backer... who cares? That's between Gold and his backer, has nothing to do with how the play was at the tables does it? I mean did he cheat when playing the WSOP that year or is this "controversy" just over the agreement or non-agreement between him and some other dude? I mean, if he didn't cheat and he won it fair and square, then the contract with the backer is just other news and they can settle it or not.

[@timcarter817]

Pros have backers all the dammed time to avoid variance. He wasn’t very good before the wsop main win he had and this video has incorrect bullshit thru the entire thing. First off, it’s not only legal and not in the rules whatsoever, to have backers. It happens for literally thousands of players each WSOP. Gold was still very much an amateur player at the time and had most of his money at that juncture tied up in his production company-which was his full time job before this tournament. The video shows several highlights but all of those were AFTER his main event win and he was extremely bad in the high stakes episodes he was on. It was commonly known that he was a big target for the cash game hustlers back then.

[@poppadoc.]

Bro every single poker player has backers, even today. You think they put their money up? Shows how much you know about the gambling world, stay away if you think like this. You'll literally lose your life with this mentality.

[@ThatBoyKlink]

Not saying that Gold was right to not split his winning but you are a moron for thinking that backers aren't everywhere😂😂😂

[@PanzerAce760]

I dont get it either

[@mark5071]

She was actually behind the entire hand, and he didn't have air, he had an open ended straight flush draw. The controversy starts with the fact that her play is very bad. Best case scenario she was facing a coinflip (which was the scenario they were in), worst case scenario she is losing the vast majority of the time. A bad play on its own is not necessarily controversial, but her explanation after the hand definitely made it controversial. She said she called because she thought he had Ace high, but she isn't beating Ace high, so that explanation makes zero sense. There is no evidence of her cheating, so I don't think it's okay to claim that she cheated. However, she definitely lied about how she played the hand, which fueled the controversy. I think there is a real chance she misread her hand and was embarrassed to admit it.

[@nycitylifeandhistory]

@@nycitylifeandhistoryEvaluating who is ahead or behind is not about who can make the best hand in that moment, unless you're on the river.

Robbi misread the hand, she thought she had J3 and was bluff catching with bottom pair. You can see her expression when she looks down at her cards once turning them over, but she was too embarrassed about it so tried to play it off as deliberate. It's just so obvious, and when you add that it's the only hand anyone has ever been suspicious about her playing and it being such a bad spot to call if you knew the cards, the situation should have never blown up.

[@whirlingdervish69]

Gold is one of the most unworthy winners of the World Championship.

But before that, this bullshit of him backing out of an agreement to pay his share of the payout. Chan didn't need to coach him. Gold got the cards. No talent when you keep hitting. And i dont know about you guys, but i dont like the talking during a hand. So, Gold, Kassouf, and Martin Kobrehl are not good for the game.
