Is there evidence that Robbi cheated Garrett?
Hello all. My first post on here. My name is Chester Mead. I am a poker dealer for more than 15 years and a poker player
It's just a few knuckleheads in this thread that don't think she cheated, just like the old thread. All the smart, well known people in the poker world (Doug, Deeb, Dwan, Haralabos, Jungle, etc) believe she cheated. Heck, the owner of the stream Ryan Feldman said he thought there was a 40% chance she cheated lol.Still unmentioned in this thread, with all the other Bryan stuff
"circumstantial" lol. You just destroyed your own argument in one word. Whooops.
When you write "all the smart" you're actually excluding every well known poker player with an elite education: Selbst, Rast, Silver, Siever, Parades, etc. There's this thing called the Scholastic Aptitude Test. Sure there are boat loads of people who "claim" they "got into Harvard" and went elsewhere. One poker player went to Fordham and claimed they got into MIT. Lol. If you
Ivey, negreanu, limon and Bart are all "no cheating" camp.
Wasn't all the Postle evidence "circumstantial" as well? Guess he's innocent too
Postle is innocent. After all, why would somebody with access to hole cards make it THAT obvious. A cheater would be smarter than that. No way he's actually that stupid.
Spoiler
See how stupid that argument is?
Whatever points in favor of the cheating theory is counteracted by the fact that
a) the J4 hand is actually strong evidence AGAINST her cheating
b) no one has ever come up with a plausible theory of HOW she cheated
For a), the reason I say that is that if they were cheating in the sense of it being rigged, why run it twice? Why take a chance on such a horrible hand? Why was she talking like she didn’t know what her cards were? If you think about the hand, the best explanation seems to be that she thought she had J3.
If Garrett had spiked one of his many outs and won the hand, this hand would not even be remembered. Everyone would agree she misread her hand and thought she had J3 and was hero calling. Instead he throws a bitchfit and gets his legion of fanboys convinced he was cheated. This is actually how you know he wasn’t cheated, he just got hero-called and didn’t hit his outs. End of story already.
The hand misread story has been totally debunked.
If she had j3 , she still would not have called. She was a tight, ABC player.
She is not calling with j high or bottom pair under any circumstances.
The fact that it was not her money only increases her tightness. Can you imagine telling your backer that you just lost 100k with jack high.
Someone who was making a hero call would slam down the cards and yell “i knew you had nothing”
They would not spout out word salad and then after making the biggest call of their life, give the money back.
The method of cheating has been clearly explained in the several you tube videos that have covered the subject. If you are still not sure, just imagine that she cheated EXACTLY like Postle.
Postle had a man in the booth.
Robbie had Brian. (Allegedly)
The only ones who know for sure are Robbie, Rip, and Brian. Possibly a couple of others who set it up. (Allegedly)
What kind of people were Rip and Robbie?
They were both married to other people.
Did they appear to be honorable?
Why was Rip so upset when Robbie gave back the money. He was screaming like a madman.
I think he scared garrett right out of the casino.

It wasn't obvious at all, he guessed basically perfect in big end game spots for well over a year before he was publicly accused. "see how........"

worse than that. if he just won one run and chopped the hand it would never be spoken of again.
The hand misread story has been totally debunked.

She is not calling with j high or bottom pair under any circumstances.
It hasn’t been totally debunked. If she was cheating with J4, did she know what the runout was going to be? If she did, why run it twice when she won both runouts? Knowing Garret’s hand it would make it more suspicious that he lost both runouts. If she didn’t know the runout and is relying on signals, why would her cheating partner choose such a weird hand to cheat on? Her cheating partner would just tell her to muck it pre.
She wasn’t a tight, ABC player. She was a weak-passive player. ABC players are people who properly bet/raise when needed, which she didn’t demonstrate at all. ABC = fundamentals, predictable. She wasn’t that. She was a weak fish, and weak fish spazz out.
The explanation if she did have a misread is very simple. Flop call is because she had backdoors. Turn call is because she had a 3 and was hero calling. RIT is because she thought she might be behind and had to get lucky. Giving back the money is because Garrett, the star player, and Ryan, the owner of the show, pulled her aside and intimidated her with threats of reputational loss. A lot of fish don’t think of chips as money until they are cashed out so she probably just thought of it as giving back chips, not dollars.
The fact that it was not her money only increases her tightness. Can you imagine telling your backer that you just lost 100k with jack high.
Was she backed? Where do you get this info?

Your summary of the situation is doing a lot of work. People do a lot of weird things when adrenaline is pumping.

No it hasn’t. People make very vague insinuations that she cheated but nobody agrees on the method of cheating. Postle knew the cards, as that’s the best explanation for his actions. But if she knew the cards, that doesn’t explain her actions. She should actually just try to tet to showdown, not put more money in the pot on a 50-50. She could play perfect poker on the river with knowledge of cards like Postle had.
Postle had a man in the booth.
Robbie had Brian. (Allegedly)
The only ones who know for sure are Robbie, Rip, and Brian. Possibly a couple of others who set it up. (Allegedly)
So yeah, people theorize she had someone in the booth, but seems like most people think that she didn’t know the cards but just had a binary equity, because people know they have to explain why it was that the cheaters chose J4 offsuit.
What kind of people were Rip and Robbie?
They were both married to other people.
Did they appear to be honorable?
They’re poker players so no.
Why was Rip so upset when Robbie gave back the money. He was screaming like a madman.
I think he scared garrett right out of the casino.
Probably because he thought it was bullshit that she gave the money back because Garrett was a sore loser.

Also saw some people saying that Bryan was never charged because he was in on it. Which is funny because he was charged and sentenced to jail. The “she cheated” crew often likes to play fast and loose with the facts
On 22 November, Sagbigsal was charged with two counts of felony grand theft. He pleaded not guilty to the charges. In July 2025 he was convicted and sentenced to 16 months in county jail, less 84 days' credit for time served.

Are you of the belief she had access to hole cards. If so how does her turn play make sense? She should just call the turn bet and either fold or call on the river depending if he hit or missed. Putting more money in the pot than needed before the river makes no sense. There’s a reason why the pro-cheating crowd never went down the “she knew the hole cards” road, because it’s nonsensical.

No. I've made this clear I feel like several times ITT, as have others. The working theory is that somebody was signalling her in some way but it was as basic as call/fold or ahead/behind.
You're literally proving the point I just made sarcastically. It's beyond stupid to assume innocence because "well that would be stupid of them... why would they do that?!?!". Cheaters/criminals do stupid **** all the time. Why did the production member steal 15k off Robbi's stack? There's countless cameras in a casino and there's even more focused on the stream set. How stupid would you have to be to take 15k off a stack at the stream table of all places? Surly he was framed because nobody would be that stupid, right?!?!
To quote George Carlin; "Think about how stupid the average person is, and then realize that half of them are stupider than that."
I'm sorry, but stupidity is not a defense.
All these wackjob cheating theories only exist because Garrett didn’t spike one of his many outs and lost the hand. If he had spiked an out and won the hand, there would be ZERO cheating allegations, but rather a chorus of “haha what a dumb broad hero calling with what she thought was bottom pair”.
I actually find Doug, Deeb, Dwan, Haralabos, and Jungle to be pretty ****ing stupid about many things social
If we wanted their expertise on being offputting autists then maybe that list would be fire
It's not just the all the well known poker pros, but the vast majority of people on the very website you moderate believe she cheated: https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/29/ne... . Guess everyone is stupid except for you.
Ironically its the posters who are sure they are right that she cheated calling everyone stupid.
I do think you specifically are really dumb though
I thought everyone knew that robbi was playing with Rip’s money. They were on the same bankroll and did not disclose this info to anyone in the game. That could have led to some ethical issues if the right situation came up.
It has been a few years since i read the original thread but i think that Rip was waiting on a wire to come in and borrowed the money to play from another player.
Rip went absolutely bananas when she gave back the money.
Anyone who wants to research this to acquire an informed opinion should watch the hand first. Then read the original thread. Then watch the doug polk video. Then watch the Chicago joey video. Then watch the bart hansen video.
I know this will be time consuming, but it will also be entertaining.
Given it's been over 3 years and no one has yet to prove how she cheated with actual, concrete evidence and not just a bunch of conjecture, I think a lot of y'all would be doing a pretty massive kindness to yourselves to just let the **** go and move on.

People with low SAT scores say "believe" and use words like "everyone." Friendly tip in case you ever cross paths with wealthier and more educated types.

Good point, I should not have excluded Rast as he is on record saying he thinks she cheated: https://x.com/tsarrast/status/1576378163... . So throw him on the list. Thats got to bump up the collective SATs scores of the list quite a bit eh?

ivey, negreanu, bart and limon are on likely no cheating. i know at least one of them has a 140 IQ and is a lifetime mensa member.

You brought the receipts but the language is "probably", as in >51%. I'm simply trying to caution people to speak a little more precisely, in terms of probability: saying things like 100% convinced, "believe" like it's a religious cult or something, etc signals low IQs.
For the record, I think shenanigans happened, just not sure what or how. So I'm like 52% cheating, 48% she was on drugs or something. Being more precise would require a smoking gun IMO. I'd just use Occam's Razor and assume something simple like a 3MM earpiece rather than some 1970's blackjack strategy from Casino if I had to theorize

You’re relying on a logical possibility to intuition pump an inference to the best explanation, when there are better explanations that don’t involve cheating in the most stupid way in the most stupid spot imaginable.

I'm sorry, but stupidity is not a defense.
Right, but stupidity also happens to be a good explanation for why she hero called with what she thought was J3. So stupidity can be an explanation for why she didn’t cheat.
By the way, you are aware that Bryan did have charges pressed against him and was sentenced, right? So why didn’t he spill the beans on her when it could get him notoriety and there’s no reason not to at this point?
I'd value the views of people like Limon, Ivey, Bart, Daniel etc who have spent decades in these scenes and do other forms of gambling and work with people more than sperged out online players. Jonathan little also made a video explaining why cheating was unlikely.
I like Jungle and enjoyed Dwan back in the day, but if you think guys like that are better at judgements about the real world of human interaction than someone like Galfond...
The real take away is how team Garrett consistently has these hallucinations like "all the pros say she cheated."
And lacks the critical thinking to understand that being good at poker strategy doesn't mean you know much about cheating at gambling.
Or ever asks, was this guy giving his snap judgement based on a 20 second video, or did he really dig in to the evidence and think about it.
Even Polk either changed his mind, or welcomed someone he believed to be a cheater onto his stream. Either way undermines his initial accusations.

For real? I don't recall seeing anything about it after the first day or so when Robbi said she wouldn't press charges.
Edit - As to the 'It would be so stupid' point, I see what your saying as stupidity would be an explanation for calling with a 3*, but there are many people ITT making the "no way somebody would cheat in such a stupid manner" which imo is a completely different argument. And I'm still calling BS on the misreading her hand argument. After Garrett shoves she clearly looks back at her hand for several seconds.

Look up YA106932. He was charged in 2022. He evaded arrest until 2025 until he probably turned himself in. Was sentenced to 16 months in jail+restitution to Robbi. Was denied parole, likely because of his previous evasion of the court.
So if this guy was a co-conspirator, pretty strange for him to go to jail on this given that not much was even gained from the initial cheating scheme.
By the way, if you go back to the initial cheating thread, according to one of the regular posters that once DM’d me and accused me of being Magic the dealer, there was a discord where they investigated every hand that she played, and supposedly were coming out with a report. Allegedly, Adelstein participated in that discord and left because **** got too crazy.
