Oh damn Clovis got bodied
She put weights in the cards
This is what I don’t get at all.
Cheating or no, it seems like she’d be a losing player if the blinds were dime/quarter. Why the hell would anyone financially invest in someone like that with blinds in the hundreds of dollars?
Robbi Jade Lew stunned the table by appearing to successfully call a semi-bluff by her opponent Garrett Adelstein.
Lew called an all-in bet by her opponent, risking her chips with an underwhelming hand, apparently convinced her opponent was bluffing and scooping a pot that had grown to $269,000 (£241,000).
People do this for attractive women sometimes.
A WSOP ME winner put Marle into Bobby’s Room for a few months and let her toast a few hundred thousand when she was just beating 2/5.
Fwiw I absolutely hate it when people are swapping action at the same table, have none of their action or will soft play or worse with multiple players. This is the kind of game Hustler often has.
Just lol. This isn’t even good evidence let alone a nail in the coffin.
She also said she thought he had ace high.
The story she said immediately after and 100 times since the the most likely not only because it is in poker sense but in a psychological sense.
Anyone who wants to bet the cheated or not line I am here.

The deckmate 2s can sort the cards and can tell you what cards are missing if the deck is short. Both of those are super helpful for dealers/floors, but yea it weirds players out anytime they realize the machines have that capability. That being said, in any regulated gaming environment they should be near impossible to hack.

I’m still at 60% she cheated and I’m not going to lie I was a little bit concerned because Matusow also thought she cheated and he’s wrong about everything but now he’s changed his mind to no cheat and I feel better.
Galfond’s twitter thread just owns the cheating crowd logic.
Not sure if this has been posted - or what the original source is, but looks like gman was lying when he said that he never asked for the money back and that Robbi just offered. Makes me more inclined to believe Robbi’s description of the encounter (i.e. that Garrett was aggressive and threatening her if she didn’t give the money back).
Might be the puppies in her shirt moving around to get more comfortable.
Wow, shocking. Who could have seen that coming?
That’s another aspect of this that is just odd to me, people acting like she should be completely straight forward when she’s talking about her thought process, like that’s a completely standard thing to do. It’s completely standard for people to be completely full of shit when they are trying to decide to make a call and then talking about the hand afterwards. I never believe people in live games explaining their thought process, it’s just bizarre that people would act like she should.
I don’t follow these games, so I don’t really know anything about this Gman dude other than what I’ve seen related to this hand, and based on that he looks like a pretty crappy person. I get that apparently he has been a stand up guy in the past, so I dunno, but his behavior throughout this is that of someone who is spoiled and way too used to getting their way.
I think he’s used to everyone catering to his whims (in particular with respect to the line-ups). He is usually a good sport when losing and deserves credit for that, but that could easily be explained by the fact that he’s a huge life-time winner and knows that he needs a clean image if he wants to be able to keep effectively running the games.
This is maybe the craziest poker hand that has occurred in a very, very long time.
There is a reason some pros have said they wouldn’t pay out the bet.
Most pros itt have said they would at the very least leave the game because of suspicions.
Did they handle it perfectly? Obviously not, but many people would be well worse.
