Message: [QUOTE="DS3, post: 6478132, member: 407846"] Absolutely agree. I am getting to the point where I think it is not worth my effort - it's just another scandal/click bait episode which gathers views but not a lot else. And I do not think these exposes benefit poker in any way. I watched Doug Polk's second update. He was yet 90% she cheated but offers no evidence. I still don't necessarily agree but he raised a few points. The first being (as detailed) on the live stream she twice denies, after being asked by other players, if she has a three as the hand plays out in real time. That 'I thought I had a three' became a post blow up construct. What really bugged me today as I quickly 'reviewed' things again, was when I double checked the Hendon Mob I found the page altered. I thought I was going mad. No, Doug Polk and others confirmed it. Multiple entries were removed overnight and her entries shrank from 40 to 15. The reason given (I am not sure by whom- it does not appear the Hendon Mob) is that there were two people with the same name. Really? Two 'Robbi Jade Lews'- that is ridiculous. Nonetheless she still has over $65,000 in winnings including a $20,000 first place win in LA a month ago - yet Faraz Jaka is till calling her 'new' to the game. I am heading to the conclusion she is something of a truth black hole and not a lot more. I am not convinced it was anything but a truly dreadful play where she wants to still claim there was at least an amount of credibility behind her call. As for stating facts, there is virtually nothing in her story, on or off the table which has remained constant. The other day Berkey was using the term occam's Razor a little ham fistedly, but...I'll use the concept myself here...the simplest explanation. The simplest explanation to me is that she one of those people who is perennially economical with the truth. A habitual and mostly harmless liar. We have all met them and in the normal course of business we just shrug our shoulders and do not take such people seriously. The problem here is it was in a fraught situation (literally and figuratively high stakes) in front of tens of the thousands watching. Like a child caught in an embarrassing situation the default mode is to start creating a tissue of dubious facts to support a more credible position. To boot, I find her spikey and dislikable. She was pretty acid at the table after the hand had played out and she was nasty and dismissive of Shaun Deeb on Ingam's podcast when he began by asking her what was her relationship with RIP (Jacob) etc.? She sarcastically, immediately went to the 'I don't know who you are' place as if he had no right to ask her anything, as if he was some rando who just showed on Joey's stream. Within a few minutes it was obvious she knew who he was and replied as such. Again, why the web of silly lies? Finally, though I believe I am the first person at Cards Chat who promoted Hustler Casino Live streams at launch - the production quality was excellent - I have since tired quite a bit of Nick Vertucci as a co-founder with Ryan Feldman (who keeps a lower profile). Vertucci increasingly appears to be one of those characters that finds controversy or controversy finds him. My guess is some sort of 'scandal' will keep popping up with regularity as the cast of characters is deliberately poorly vetted. On Joey's podcast one cringe moment for me was when Vertucci said he wanted to build the stream and then sell it for tens of millions in a few years - therefore why jeopardize anything? Yet I am not aware anyone had accused Hustler of being involved in any potential cheating. That's where he went. But, he admitted that dubious folks are going to show on the stream and I am sure that suits his agenda. Then, a day ago a Hustler surrogate claimed there would be an announcement with hours about 'something seen/identified' on the stream. Nothing materialized. It all a little too click baity at this point. [/QUOTE]
