What do you do if the games I describe are the biggest games available?
Quit poker
Garrett’s stats in that game don’t jump out much to me. I’m ballparking what I think the average stakes probably are because I don’t feel like looking up 53 different livestreams, but it looks like he’s winning just about what I have guessed in the past. If he were cheating, I’d expect him to be doing quite a bit better and to lose less often than he has.
Seems he’s winning less than he was on LATB
Or he’s winning at a rate that you’d expect a player to win at if he were a smart cheater.
I mean these fuckers can’t get enough of this drama. If Perkins and Haralalolololobos offered a $215K bounty for shutting the fuck up, none of them would be able to do it.

What odds would you put Garrett cheating with hole card info through multiple sessions?
I dunno, small sample size to draw that kind of conclusion on. Was LATB tracked? He’s won in 64% of his sessions, and it appears he’s in the 22bb/hr range.
I think it’s more about not putting pressure on a fish that might not want to straddle, which makes complete sense IMO.
Mason allowed him back long before he sold.
By the way, Robbi is claiming the “Bureau of Investigations” is only open Mon-Thurs. That strike anyone else as extremely odd?
Aside from the phrasing, you call up the Gardena Police on a weekend to report a theft of $15K and they’re going to be like, “Damn, that sucks, but can you call back during normal business hours on Monday?”
Finally watched some of Joey from last night - and Tom Dwan is just a moron spouting crap. He claims that Robbie can’t press charges because she doesn’t have standing since Hustler repaid her the money, and now only Hustler can press charges. He stated it multiple times like he was an expert, but it’s one of the stupidest and most wrong legal analyses I’ve ever heard (it’s wrong in so many different ways). Dwan’s just a random stream of uncollected thoughts.
Are you 100% on that as it pertains specifically to casino chips as opposed to cash/belongings? Because I’ve heard in the past that technically casino chips are the property of the casino, you never own them, you’re just borrowing them.
Also could it be something that varies by state?
The city of Gardena is small enough for me to find that plausible. This seems like the kind of of crime where they would prefer you fill out their online form rather than call 911 to support it.
I am 100% sure Tom Dwan is talking out of his ass on this. Standing doesn’t even fucking apply to criminal victims since in a criminal case the victim is not a party (the state is the party bringing the charges).
I am 100% sure everyone is talking out of their ass on this.
Legal analysis of poker players throughout the last 20 years or so reminds me of this scene from classic Australian cinema:
My best guess (if they were cheating), is that they were trying to target Garrett, hence thinking that there were only so many possible hands between the 2 and thus wanting to capitalize on this spot where they’d be heads up for sure (Robbi closing the action).
Maybe Bryan had a vendetta against him or something. Look at the hand a bit earlier where Garrett had a boat and Robbi had a broken flush draw on the river. She had nothing but was still acting a bit odd on the river. Why did she need to put a time chip in? Then when she does she just folds a couple seconds later? Like is the time chip the signal to send card info or something?
Also seemed oddly cocky vs Garrett like she knew she’d be able to own him later. She seemed nice to pretty much everyone else, but was combative towards Garrett. It might make sense if they had more of a history, but Garrett seemed to indicate that they’d hardly played any hands together.
Anyway, I’m not sure either way, just pitching one potential theory.
Yah, probably just gonna knock out the license over her 2-day mental health break.
