Garrett. She called vs you in a flip equity spot with a card to come (as well as potential multiple times to run it) and this should override any other possible factors (of which there are many). I hope with a little time away from this you reconsider the situation.
For the love of god please let more tournaments be like the

ladies event. One woman asks if the whole table will do shots, older woman says she can’t partake in alcohol, it makes her too sleepy. Offers to do a bump of cocaine instead to join in.

Poker is a mindfuck. Some days, it feels like the blood, sweat and tears you poured into your game have you practically seeing the matrix and no one else stands a chance. Other days, you pat yourself on the back for an incredible fold and get shown the deuce of clubs

One of the best memories in my career was with Doyle—I started sitting in bookstores reading Super System and ended up sitting next to him on Poker After Dark, my first televised poker experience ever. I beat Doyle with T2. He laughed and said “shot me with my own bullet.”❤️
No one knows anything for sure; poker is a game of probabilities and so is most of life outside of that, but analyzing data without bias should bring most people to the conclusion that the likelihood that Robbi cheated is extremely low.
That’s a wrap on

I've played with Robbi before a handful of times and this is consistent with play I've seen (calling down with nothing and not always being sure that it is nothing). Also, and critically: this wasn't on the river, they were flipping when she called
Entering the political arena is always a net negative on twitter (amplifying rage and the machine that feeds off it, h/t

) but on days like today I find it equally as heinous to be a bystander.
Modern anti-Israel sentiment has the hallmarks of an eerily en-vogue
Applying sophisticated logic to a sophomoric player is a fool’s errand. Garrett’s analysis is not only that but it supports a conclusion he was already prone to believe.
Those looking to prove Robbi’s guilt by saying her play does not make sense forget that poker is built on an ecosystem where those that make good decisions win money from those who don’t.
But novices often rely on instinct. They don’t always have consistently logical thought processes. I have witnessed several hands where beginners explained themselves with “I thought he was bluffing” or “I wanted to see his hand” despite not being able to beat a bluff.
"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, throughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming, wow, what a ride!."
One of the biggest mental hurdles I had in my career early on was handling extraordinary spotlight due to that disparity and not wanting to look stupid or make a mistake in it. I believe this experience is relevant to Robbi’s struggle to explain herself.
For non-poker players: While it’s a fun narrative, she did not read her opponent for the exact hand he had. This rarely happens in poker and is correct even more rarely. The hand is controversial: her hand should almost never beat his, even if she does think he’s bluffing.

The mob mentality we are witnessing has most likely arisen from the recency bias of the Mike Postle scandal, and heightened awareness of such possibilities.
