The Twitter mob turning on Garrett was not surprising but pretty fascinating to see. “You either die the hero, or live long enough to become the villain”. I think it’s always been human nature, but we just see the enjoyment in tearing people down much easier in the age of social media.
Garrett totally lost it. He felt robbed and he saw the chance to get his money back and took it. His mind was in no shape to realize that it would likely be impossible to sit in that game after getting the 135K back. We will never know what would of happened if RIP didn’t lose his shit, but my guess is Garrett sticks around an orbit & says he needs to get out of there.
At this point it seems he has that money. Which we know gives him all the leverage here. Right or wrong he is holding all the cards at this point. Whatever the investigation concludes, it will probably be impossible to totally exonerate Robbi. You probably can get closer to prove absolute guilt, than you can total innocence. So there always can be the smallest seed of doubt.
It will be pretty interesting to see the butterfly effect last night has on the poker world, Hustler Casino Live, streaming, Garrett, etc. This is not the poker story of the week. This will stick around for a while.
If I put myself in her place and I’m accused of cheating & know I’m innocent, I am yelling it until the cows come home. I’m emptying my pockets. If I have glasses on I am going to give them to production & the other players to inspect. I would defend myself for the duration of that stream until I am blue in the face. Frisk me all you want boys!
But again, the whole defense conjured up for Robbi is she just doesn’t get it. She doesn’t understand the gravity of that accusation. Her brain is fucking alien to us. She just doesn’t fucking get it. So the fact she didn’t defend herself like i think most of us would have, just makes the whole thing even more confounding.
