Has anyone talked about playing poker with her before 2 months ago?
Yeah, all this lie-detector talk is doing my head in. Like, is it not common knowledge that lie detectors are less than worthless? They are essentially a myth, but a lot of people that I considered intelligent are touting them as the solution to this mystery. Maybe skip the lie detector entirely and just give her a shot of truth-serum instead.
Might as well just go Veritaserum from Harry Potter or pull out a bit of hair and revisit memories
No, only nerds like us know that.

But like detector tests can be useful investigative tools since people don’t know they don’t work well. The fact that Vertucci and Persson both offered to get one for her and pay, and she was like “Sure I’ll take one!” on one of her gazillion media appearances… Only to refuse theirs and get her own… Which she’s apparently driving to San Diego to take even though she lives in Pacific Palisades…
That’s very suspicious.
I checked and Beanz is -158K on HCL, so he’s probably not cheating. Sounds like he’s a shady guy who runs with shady people, but that doesn’t mean he’s involved here.
They should look into everyone around Rip/Robbi/Bryan but my guess is he’s just a classic shady poker player - borrowing money, conning people into staking him for huge games, using that exposure to get smaller loans and maybe or maybe not pay them back. He might have just vouched for the wrong people.
I do have it on good info that he was playing 2/5 in Vegas around the same time he was playing huge on HCL, and not waiting for a bigger game.
I saw beans numerous time on stream and lol he was def not cheating
I wonder if hustlers casino gonna be fed up with the publicity at some point or they dgaf. People forget that they also had Gal doing federal crimes on stream
Suspicious: people who don’t play poker
Not Suspicious: putting together a “high stakes” poker game full of people who are not high stakes players and where people are getting robbed

Gal laundering money in gman’s game raises one important question - what did Robbi know and when did she know it?

Well if you want to steal in this way, you’d choose someone who doesn’t care if they ever play again if caught.
Most private games are full of whales who shouldn’t be playing high stakes. That’s the entire point of private games!
He’s been one of the biggest douchebags in poker for like a decade or so.
JR, a literal whale is on stream saying he’s permanently quitting because of how toxic the vibe is in these games, loooooooool so much for this being good for the game. he said he’d never even played live really until jan of this year, now he’s gone.
All I got out of it was an understanding that if the real one looks anything at all like the fake, I wouldn’t wear the real one either.
We’re up to 375% guilty.
And being a nit.
Which seems to be more about why you are upset here.

Private games are as toxic as it gets, it’s a giant setup for people like him to lose a ton of money. Took the moron almost a year to figure that out.
For the true dumb ones, the “fame” or free drinks, or ability to smoke/do rails while playing is worth the money lost, but games ebb and flow by the whales losing or wising up.

the games dont have to be like that, and I didnt think he was talking about private games, he’s talking about this televised one. he said he was well aware how it works and how certain people play only when he does and all of that, but he was willing to accept a negative edge in exchange for him learning - which is nutty at those stakes but jesus like if the guy likes being preyed on why blow it up by being such scumbags?
Even the absolute best private games get blown up.
I’ve had ones with massage girls, free food and alcohol but just the nature of them has an expiration date.
