Again…if she was cheating why did she call with almost zero chance of winning?


Bc when you are cheating you know you are going to win. She had info on his cards somehow. She didn’t know the 2 river cards but she knew she was “good” when she made that call.

Having a TV player go on a tirade with management after losing a hand is intimidation.

Some people claim this guy is a genius for some reason.

He is shaking down nobodies in the backroom over bad beats.

This is as low as it gets.

Wait what? This makes no sense.


It was a bit tongue in cheek, but seriously….given the play if you’re him what hand do you put her on when she calls your raise and then reraises after the flop?

Do you bet $100k on that or call the reraise to see another card. I haven’t rewatched the video but if she calls your getting what 1.6 to 1 on your money? He didn’t have a hand to protect because he was the one on a draw.

I’d have called the $20k to see if I hit any of my outs rather than risk $100k. But I guess that’s why I’m not on TV.

That’s all I could come up with too. She thought he was bluffing but for some reason didn’t realize that nearly every hand he could have in the spot still beats her.

6mo ago all of her poker play was done online in the buy in range of $100-$500.


And 100 online is incredibly different than at the casino. I could try to explain it but something tells me it's a giant waste of time.

She is in an open casino. With Her BF at the table. And hundreds of people.

She wasn’t intimidated. She and her bf we afraid of the upcoming investigation.

One thing I don’t think people on here are mentioning is the first couple of streams she was on she played VERY tight. Now all the sudden in this stream on hands even before this one she is check raising with Ace high and calling bluff all ins for 100k. She’s either cheating or just a really, really bad player that doesn’t understand the game at all


Aren’t the best poker players the ones were you cannot get a true read on what they would do and what they have?

Wouldn’t doing stupid things in crazy situations be a perfect way to obscure what you truly think what you have and what you would do?

Sounds like she’s building a great résumé for a future poker pro.

Amateurs have way too large of BB call ranges typically.

What is she actually representing with just a call call prior to raising on the turn? That's a pretty insane line. She also just min-raised (which was a bet of only 1/3) which in a way could be a blocker bet?

Amateurs who beg pros to call for a small amount will get punished by pros b/c they will raise the shite out of small raises. You can hear Bart call this before Garrett goes all in. He knows Garrett is going to raise huge b/c of the weird/weak play.

He has an open-ended SF draw. He's got equity against anything other than the top-side of the SF. Literally anything.

Normal people don't post like he did after this

No doubt he was absolutely ballistic on this

He clearly needed the money more. Not worth it.

She raised him on the turn, no?

And she raised small. That signifies weakness or a draw herself

She was all in before the last two cards were dealt. If a spotter knew what he had she’s told to fold. Your not “good” when he has that many outs and you have none. The best card she could get was a J and that fills his straight.

Unless she has an idiot for a spotter cheating makes no sense.

Are you going to explain how me leaving how your statement telling me to gamble after I’ve already said I don’t gamble is intellectually dishonest? Or are you just going to keep avoiding it like a bitch?

Speaking of intellectually dishonest, I’ve never said or argued otherwise. In fact I’ve offered examples and scenarios in this thread proving otherwise.

I thought it was the flop but may be wrong. I need to watch again but her raise wasn’t terrible based on the pot size.

This is a very good video about the whole incident with lots of backstory. I encourage everyone to watch it.

You don’t put her on hands, you put her on ranges.
In theory, Garrett’s hand is generally a call on her turn min raise, but is a 3 bet at a much lower frequency.

Can you explain to me why she would cheat her way into the shittiest potential ever?

I’ve said repeatedly that single hands rd different than entire games, and that this single hand is perfect proof of that.

And you keep trying to do the exact opposite of what I just stated above.

It’s ok though, your “luck.” comment still exists.

100% this.

All of the she cheated crowd is dismissing the point that she “cheated?” herself into the most losing his hand ever, and got lucky and came out winning.

Cheating would give her zero advantage.
