When money is involved, there's always some kind of cheat or stealing and for that reason, I'm out.

[@smellsuperb1]

I see what you did there 😂🤣

[@AirBahg]

how is looking at someones cards when theyre not protecting them cheating. is it scummy, probably but meh. ive seen negreanu, ivey, elezra ect do this plenty of times

@@elijahjakobsen7898 i know the truth is difficult to comprehend, but J high dose in fact beat 8 high

[@laartwork]

​@@beepurplepoker6839 and how did she know he had 8 high? Maybe her friend Bryan Sagbigsal communicated it to her from the room where he saw the cards. Funny thing even face up he was a favorite to win the hand.

[@Mott2]

You will never convince me Robbie did not cheat. Robbie giving back the money right after the hand at the first accusation of cheating. Her saying she thought Garrett was weak with Ace high when she called with Jack high. Hustler Live staff member who has access to the live stream taking $15K off her stack (proven and likely payment). HCL stream knows they have a good and profitable thing going with their steam and I think they knew if it was proven she cheated, and that one of their staff helped, then it would be the end of their live stream just like what happened at Stones Casino with Mike Postle. I believe it was in their best interest to find no evidence of cheating and with Garrett having got his money back, everyone agreed to drop it and move on. Robbie played in much lower stakes prior to this. The only reason I mention this, is if you played the highest stakes you ever have, and won a MASSIVE pot compared to your normal stakes, would you EVER give the money back?! Under ANY circumstance when you knew you won fair and square? No you would say screw you and be extremely upset by the false accusation!

[@Johnbrownsmarch]

Your analysis is less than amateurish and a demonstration of your poor skills concerning human behavior and strategy. Stick with poker, you'll be an atm

[@jonathansage9063]

The whole thing Is weird I just don't understand why tf she called even if she was cheating. If you're cheating there is gonna be much better spots, It's a call that makes absolutely zero sense that can not be explained and you're not even that crazy of a favorite in the spot. Garret still had a lot of outs twice and I wonder what would have been the view of that hand had he won atleast 1 of the flips.

[@Mott2]

@On Your Bike Yep more words than your sub 3 digit IQ can read but thank you for contributing nothing to the conversation.

[@Mott2]

@@jonathansage9063 I think it was because Robbie is a recreational poker player that somehow was signaled she was good without realizing how completely suspect a Jack high call would look given how the hand played out and for that much money. Name another time on stream, even for a $1,000 dollar pot, you saw a player call with Jack high. Personally, I don't think HCL top management knew or had anything to do with it. I think a rogue production assistant with access to the live stream saw an opportunity to make money, and took it, but did so with a greedy and unsophisticated team. (Robbie and her boyfriend). Honestly the best outcome happened for both parties. Garrett got his money back. HCL fired the production assistant, albeit for stealing 15K off Robbie's stack instead of anything else, and everyone moved on.

[@aix23723]

You're a fn moron. You play low stakes. You can't think on a deep level, read body language,tonality etc and analyze situations to come to a proper conclusion. If you're so smart how did she cheat?

[@Bhodisatvas]

Degens are gonna degen.

[@rjandkj]

I once played a tournament and at the final table, when it was done, they discovered that the ace of hearts had been missing from the deck the whole time. Whoops.

[@sunalwaysshinesonTVs]

Yeah.... online poker? Forget about it. Until online platforms figure out a method/standards for making cheating near impossible, I would never play online for even the min cash game buyins at b&m casinos.

[@naswiipp]

Like Ultimate Bet the cheats are within the companies. They all have super user mode.

[@sunalwaysshinesonTVs]

FFS, not protecting your hole cards is the player's problem. Granted, trying to sneak a peak is slimy but still... you're responsible for protecting your cards.

[@m.fheagle3286]

I think Robbie vs Garrett was a case of a new player being coached in real time. While she didn’t know what Garrett had, seat 8 had a good intuition that Garrett was betting his draw. Seat 8 thought Robbie had at least a piece of that board. I think she put herself in an awful position and was coached into calling by seat 8, who thought her hand was stronger than it was. She couldn’t explain her actions, her thought process and when she tried the explanation didnt make sense. No one can call there with her holding.

[@Yourfavoritedealer]

Of course hustler will say no cheating happened 😂

[@razorback0z]

Robbie the female impersonator is not a poker player. He is a hustler and a cheat. End of story.

[@Baconrips]

I don’t think looking at another players cards is cheating. It’s your job to cover your hand

[@zbou23]

gossip is a sin like gambling

[@antzooma]

It is a little strange to out someone for apparently cheating online with RTA who is also shown as down 18 million

[@donkeypunchout]

Foxen was at a final table with his wife and it was three handed and his wife had a monster hand and they either bet small or checked down so they would not knock each other out..foxen has no room to talk about cheating when he and his wife are just as guilty..but then again I guess that is why they say it takes one to know one..

[@christopherwells2787]

Yea and they also clearly told the 3rd player that they will chop because this isn’t good for you.

[@antzooma]

nope he was at a final table with his girlfriend

[@donkeypunchout]

@@antzooma are they married now genius? It still doesn't matter regardless they definitely were colluding in that final table and it was so obvious.. so what is your point exactly by saying girlfriend that he is married to? Are you one of those people that correct grammar because you have nothing important to contribute to a topic so it makes you feel relevant in some way?

[@antzooma]

@@donkeypunchout they are married now but not when they were on the FT

[@supercool1312]

nemo just cant stop can she lmaoo

[@phobowl]

How can you trust online poker at this point? for sure you're getting ripped off by someone.

[@FriendsForFriends666]

robbie is disgusting for both those fake lips and scamming garrett.

[@FriendsForFriends666]

wasnt foxen colluding with his wife/gf few years ago on a 3 left final table live poker?

[@flickingbollocks5542]

She awarded it to her boyfriend... and thought she would get away with it. Hardy a genius.

[@colintimp1372]

Robbie was NOT exonerated. There wasn't enough evidence to judge either way; and there was never going to be. Same as Postle and Stones Casino. The casinos have a vested interest in there not being cheating.

[@antzooma]

there is no such thing as enough evidence to prove they are not cheating, just face it Garrett lost

[@810poker5]

Should link this to some pros that stream and wonder y? This was a good video thank you 🙏 do you have one for 2021 should keep it going each year

[@PokerBounty]

[@zacaustin7952]

Ceasars and hard rock are terrible

[@laartwork]

Robbi cheating scandal... you made it seem like she was found innocent. “The assessment of HCL’s systems and security controls are inconclusive in determining if cheating occurred. It should be noted that a lack of evidence does not imply cheating did or didn’t occur." Big difference. Oh, the same ruling in the investigation of Mike Postle.

[@twkidd]

Berkey's take on nemo is hilarious

[@supercool1312]

yeah lmao as if she hasnt done shady shit before

[@killerboba]

Finding nemos brain. Comming to a cinema near you

[@TimeNap]

Robbi either: A) Misread her hand or B) Cheated Robbi had played several sessions and was a winning player. Calling with J high no draw isn't a thing.

[@laartwork]

Watch the video. See if she looks back at her hand (spoiler she does). She measures the call she the player to her left asks "you got a three?" She responds, "no, just a bluff catcher". When Garrett asked why she called she didn't say she miss read her hand. Way later in an interview suddenly that was her new excuse.

[@TimYoung8]

Good thing I read the comments before watching the video. Simping for Robbie you loser.

[@jacobalbarado4993]

Definitely never want to be a poker pro either. Its just for fun and competition with friends for me

[@jacobalbarado4993]

I'm so glad that I live in Austin and get to play at the ever legit/unscammy Lodge Poker Club. The owners are class acts

[@hamburglerhelper326]

I think nik airball set up garret so he can take his place on the show.

[@Frontpageleisure]

Dude simp’d out at the end. Had a decent video then fell all over Robbi’s “cannons”.

[@laartwork]

They also found they could not prove she DIDN'T cheat. How did he miss that?

[@elijahjakobsen7898]

Foxen crying about cheating after colluding with his gf at a live FT is pretty ironic.

Robbie cheated and it’s a crime to say garret torched his rep just because she got away with it… ✊ I’m with he

[@ralphkotwica6184]

That’s a strong claim… I’m sure u have proof to make suck a claim???

[@laartwork]

​@@ralphkotwica6184 well there was no proof Mike Postle cheated. The difference is Bryan Sagbigsal. No proof on O.J. Simpson or Michael Jackson. Sometimes overwhelming circumstantial evidence is enough.

[@ralphkotwica6184]

What evidence u claiming??? Cause that’s a bold statement. Oh wait where u there??? And before u say “no we’re u” think about what u are saying. What is this evidence I would love to know??? Make me a believer

[@shepherdofsheeple]

@@ralphkotwica6184 Damn bro Im glad all four of your personalities are in agreement but to me it’s really just one of those situations like a jurist knowing for sure a mobster is guilty but no body no weapon no conviction..just a shit ton a smoke and smoke that happens smell real fishy…come on bruv…1) her immediate reaction seemed off like if you hero call villain with anything less than low pair let alone Jake high on the premise (whether by direct experience, observation or study of prior streams) that they have been bullying you and others off pots with complete air for sizable sums, you would be ardent and forever unrelenting that you GOT that mf’er and tell them exactly what range you put them on. 2) You wouldn’t give it back then advantageously (likely after getting guidance) request for him to return the pot if you were 1000% innocent. 3) She’s good enough to know that Jack high is good, but I don’t think she’s good enough to know that it would be suspect to call vs jam with Jack high..She got a signal. 4) just too many coincidences and data points for me not to think something just ain’t right…from everything with that Bryan cat to her lying to suspect hand signals to her boyfriend and bro her whole vibe is suspect I’m convinced she probably cheats on her partners. Further I’m convinced anyway that those mixed high stakes games are ripe for cheating or edging in an environment historically littered with edgers in every category of people associated with the game.
