So, they did all this, and on review, the only hand that looked suspect was this one? They know everything is being recorded, and this is the hand they decided to cheat on?It’s a different type of allegation and investigation, but there is a ton of evidence in the Robbi case.
For example, the public found that:
1) Rip and Robbi did not disclose that they were partners;
2) Rip bought in for the minimum but staked Robbi a huge stack in a nosebleed game full of pros like Ivey and GE, despite her later admission to being a total amateur;
3) Rip and Robbi were mouthing stuff to each other;
4) Robbi changed her story and contradicted herself repeatedly, after playing a hand in such a bizarre way that a seasoned top pro felt he had to say something;
5) HCL hired a criminal for its booth;
6) That criminal rearranged the booth so he could not be viewed by the one camera in there;
7) That criminal took what looked like his “cut” from Robbi’s stack after the hand;
8) Robbi posted what many read as a fake message to her from the criminal, apologizing, full of the same rare verbal tells and spelling she uses herself;
9) Robbi gave back a six figure pot, something an innocent player would never do.
Among other things.
The investigation found:
A) There were multiple security flaws in the game setup that cheaters could exploit;
B) But due to the crudeness of their operation, and lack of key data to validate, they could not say for sure if these were in fact exploited.
To me, it looks like shady people doing shady things. Not letting people know she was staked is really shady. It has always seemed to me that the most likely explanation is she was thinking she had J-3, and being too embarrassed to admit it right away. On the other hand, if you only ever looked for the most likely explanation, you would never catch anyone cheating!
