Robbi having an inconsistent and nonsensical explanation for her call is not evidence of cheating. Most people learn when growing up dishonesty doesn’t work. Especially when you make up new lies on the fly to explain inconsistencies in your previous lies. But not all adults act like adults and being a liar doesn’t make one automatically a cheater also.
I’ve seen a few poker commentators discuss the fact her chair was vibrating during one hand. This is really getting into tinfoil hat territory. It could easily be explained as her fidgeting with her legs while thinking. Oh no, the chair is shaking, it must be a hidden vibration device with a signal sent by an inside man who hacked the stream. Give me a break.
All her in play decisions could be explained by her just being a really bad poker player. If you try to explain this situation to a non-poker player they won’t appreciate how absurd it is to call with J4 in that spot. If Robbi is no better a poker player than the average person, she wouldn’t understand it either.
Maybe she doesn’t think in terms of ranges and only tries to put her opponent on a specific hand. Expecting that Garrett would shove any straight flush draw, and she blocked QJc which means he MUST have 87c. Garrett could also have had any ten, any overpair, or any number of equity bluffs that were ahead of her. But ranges be damned, “I put you on 87c.” If Robbi is romantically involved with Rip he might have felt some pressure to stake her in a high stakes game, regardless of how bad of a player she was.
After taking in some other opinions over the last few days, I’m mostly convinced this wasn’t cheating. Though I find still needing an explanation why she willingly gave Garrett the money back. Especially if she had been fronted by Rip, who should have been involved as her backer.
That’s entertainment for ya 
And now it gets more interesting…
An employee was fired after it was found that he removed some of Robbi Jade Lew’s chips from her stack when she stepped away from the table.
I was once admonished for taking my chips with me during a live tournament when I left to use the restroom during a break. But it now looks like it might have been the right move…

The truth is starting to come out…interesting that Robbi doesn’t want to press charges or wants her stolen $15,000 back? She doesn’t want Hustler investigated, she doesn’t want to pursue Garrett.
She just wants everyone to move on and forget the whole thing because she is a positive person, hmm

If the $15k was a payoff for helping her cheat these are some of the worst criminals in history. The bribe was being paid with cameras recording everywhere.
It reminds me of a Three Stooges episode Or maybe even an Abbott and Costello one. This is getting so bizarre now.
So it seems that if she doesn’t press charges there is no crime which means the police cannot investigate this employee which is…convenient.
She said the money she lost to Garrett doesn’t matter because she blew that amount on the ring she was wearing on stream the day before yet was bankrolled by RIP who borrowed the money off another player and paid them back the day after the stream…what the hell is going on???
And we are just told to believe she pulled off one of the best hero calls in poker history and everything else around the hand is just people being paranoid and dumb.
Has reality split into an alternate universe where logic is no longer applicable?

I don’t think anyone thinks she made a “great” hero call. Consider the following possibilities:
- she’s a call station (watching her other hands, she does not seem like a pro caliber player)
- she misread her hands, as she’s claimed (that’s not rare)
- she is somehow cheating
The third item is possible: but really, isn’t it offensive to suggest this with no actual evidence aside from the fact that to make a call there is obviously a bad play? How does making a bad play suffice as evidence of cheating?
The burden of proof here should not be: prove with 100% certainty that she could not have been cheating. It is closer to the opposite: without any real evidence that she was cheating, claiming or suggesting someone was cheating is inappropriate.
Reasonable people feel she was probably not cheating. That is not proof at all, but it is enough to make suggestions that she was clearly premature and excessive.

This controversy reminds me of a quote. I’ll be very surprised if she is found cheating.
- “In order to be a successful gambler you have to have a complete disregard for money.” Doyle Brunson
And the Saga continues. What a twisted story.
Rotating rings can simply be a nervous habit. I don’t wear any jewelry at all (except for a watch), but when I did, I used to rotate my rings often without even thinking about it. As she was nervous, spinning the ring was just a bit of a fidget.

Well, info is now coming out about her previous poker play and she is far from wealthy apparently.
She tried to play a game with no money on the table and not pay a BB, then got confrontational when asked to put the money in, she lied about knowing people who’d she’s never met to get in the game and was pulling crumpled up bills out of her pockets to pay for drinks…the same person that is insanely wealthy, does not care $15,000 was stolen from her, gave back over $100,000 like it meant nothing yet was bankrolled to play in the game?
She is sketchy as hell.
