I cant stand people with no sleeves but at least joey ingram did a decent job at letting all “sides” speak
Not only twitter but dozens of long posts here too.
Gross behaviour.

Don’t make this about CW. I think he’s wrong in his assessment of this situation and the likelihood he attributes to her cheating, like way wrong, but he has nothing to do with the hand, the accusations against her, nor is he promoting the cheating theory to try to monetize the controversy.
He would do this in a heartbeat if he had the following and skills imo.

I never did see the Nitucci interview, could someone link it again please? I’m waaay too lazy to go back and find it.
That’s just like your opinion, man. Until he actually does, how about you avoid lumping him in with the people I’m talking about?
I agree up to the point he posted Rast’s tweets and then not only refused to delete them, but still gave them credence, after they were shown to be patently false misinformation.
Excuse me for sharing my opinion on a forum man. But anyway, he lumped himself in all by himself by consuming and parroting their opinions. You may see a difference and that’s your prerogative, but don’t lump me in with you.
Please dial back the personal attacks - especially the ones that are just speculating on someone’s character and morals (or lack thereof). You can go hard at someone’s points without making it personal.

Even if Rast’s tweets are incorrect, it is reasonable for them to stay up as a snapshot of what some notable poker players are thinking. I have posted several tweets I disagree with without commentary because I think they provide a useful point for initiating discussion.
“Even if…”
This is how we get to a place that more than 50% of republicans believe the election was rigged.
As is spreading and leaving up known false information to be assessed forever.
Amazingly I seem to be alone in this assessment somehow which I have to admit is really surprising to me.

Yes, the false claim remains, but the refutation is right there with it, isn’t it? This seems better than removing it.
Sure I could accept that, although I still think removing it is best, however he immediately followed it with several posts about how because Rast is Rast it still holds weight as a source of truth and immediately shifted from “there was no draw” which is what Rast stated to “maybe the draw was rigged”.
As I said this is exactly how conspiracy theories work and how false information burrows it’s way into the zeitgeist.
The next day, we have Bruce posting “even if it’s incorrect” as if there is still some doubt.
In a shocking twist, we see yet another example of how huge swaths of people will twist themselves into a pretzel to defend their guy/team/ideology. People are people.

Whether or not it is correct is irrelevant.
If only we didn’t have mountains of social science and psychology research clearly demonstrating the opposite.

Posting contrary opinions about this isn’t going to lead to the downfall of Western civilization.
It seems like Rast is wrong, but it’s not like he was just making stuff up.

Unlike the MAGA subhumans who keep crying about the 2020 election, there’s at least enough out there for people who I think are wrong to plausibly believe that Robbi cheated.
The next step is for you to track down Bill Klein and ask him if he really told Rast that they didn’t draw for seats when Klein played.
FWIW I’m pretty sure I agree with you, I just don’t care that much and am not paying very close attention. But as I understand it, the seat-selection thing isn’t an opinion, it was a statement of fact, and once corrected it should be deleted.

The more I think about it, the sadder I think it is that Robbi is being looked at as a possible cheater, her pants are being Zapruder filmed, and HCL is conducting investigations when she almost certainly just misread her hand, made a terrible play, and got lucky in game that involves a lot of luck.
It’s like nope, let’s pretend we’ve never heard of Occam’s Razor.
