Message: [QUOTE="DS3, post: 6481543, member: 407846"] Well, I followed the episode in close to real time which is why I was the first to reply to the OP and form an opinion of Robbi likely not cheating but patently having little problem with amending her stories. Regarding details- yes, they are important. As for character bashing, I believe quoting Robbi and the words out of her own mouth is not character bashing but providing an informed opinion. By way of example - Robbi twice in the hand itself says (to Mike X I believe) she does not have a pair of threes and then she does not have a three. Once the hand has played out she scrambles to justify things and is reaching for anything which makes sense. It is then when Robbi reverses and mentions having a three - that was the origin of the 'I thought I had a three' nonsense. In the midst of this she also claimed to not look back at her cards when she did so repeatedly for a span of seventeen seconds. Further, it was at this juncture that she also stumbled with 'I thought you had an ace' to which Garrett makes his first reply of 'then why did you call with jack high?'. Talking to Joey Ingram in the aftermath Robbi stated that [U]she[/U] had offered to pay Garrett the funds back then that story changed to Garrett had demanded she return the funds. Note also, I said the Polk mirrored the things [U]I said[/U]. I did not say that I agreed with everything [U]he said[/U] and was careful to point out exactly where I stood. Another thing which I found deceptive about her overall was the manner with which she was portrayed as a 'rookie' when it was patently obvious she was quite experienced and had a Hendon Mob profile (which as noted was somehow amended and shrank with 24 hours). Then it turned out the friend she brought to play RIP (Jacob) was in fact her partner a fact they withheld from the other players. Mike X appeared the only one to know they has something of a relationship. It was further revealed that RIP had staked her and when confronted on that manner, there was a lack of clarity as to how much. Robbi sort of confirmed it had been at least 50% then waffled on 'others' backing her. No one at the table was aware of this which is why the other players were confused when RIP injected himself into the dispute. So, under those circumstances I believe it legitimate to question her honesty. I even bothered to state some in life are habitual and harmless liars (is this a newsflash to any adult?) and Robbi's problem was this all had played out in front of thousands, then ultimately hundreds of thousands. Then in closing, just from my own observation of people, I did not like her spiky, even nasty tone after she won the hand when she started needling Garrett who at that point had not actually said one word and was not 'death staring' her. I can understand her fluster followed by an instinct for defense but going straight for the nasty as default mode speaks volumes about 'character'. Robbi just as easily could have turned to joking and apologizing for the fact she 'lucked out' but didn't. And that is odd, because looking at Robbi's reaction from a behavioralist's perspective it does not make sense. One weird indicator is she both expresses no surprise when the J4 is revealed and in that same moment she also fails to express delight that the hand was won. This is precisely when micro-expressions during such a stressed moment would be something which are virtually impossible to mask. Which is where I think it is interesting if she admitted she takes drugs to treat ADHD (if that is true). However, she was factually deceptive both in things she said and actions she took which as I have been at pains to be clear about, does not mean she cheated at the table, but that she could well be of a type.
