So Garrett is coming back and he will be playing on the Bally’s stream and the WPT stream this week. It’s seems Garrett is the only guy who really moves the needle with these streams. Although the WPT stream is just because of the tournament and God only knows what will become of the Ballys stream.
It will be interesting to see the numbers here. Interesting that he has not announced anything dealing with PokerGo. I do remember Rob Yong telling Garrett that he was told by people at PokerGo it would be awkward having him back with the 135K still unresolved.
So Garrett could have taken that personally, the PokerGo people could find it as a concern or could be they simply were not interested in doing this right now. I think the timing is probably just not right as PokerGo is in business with GG and it seems all their talent and resources are in the Bahamas right now.
I think the 135K will become a total nom issue as far as Garrett streaming once he does these couple shows. Now, Hustler is the only livestream in LA where Garrett lives. Look, Garrett coming back would be great for HCL. They have been losing high stakes players left & right. Most of the guys not wanting Garrett in the game don’t even play on the stream anymore. Add up the recent private game drama and HCL is in need of a reboot of sorts.
I think Feldman could actually fix things with Garrett. It wouldn’t be easy, but I think he could. Problem is Vertucci has made Garrett so irate that I think Garrett will ultimately not come back. I think that goose is cooked. Polk would literally suck Garrett’s Dick for him to go to the Lodge. I think he will get him there at some point, but it will be a one off.
If I had to guess I would say Garrett will not become a regular livestream player again in the near future. Main reason being there is just no alternative to HCL in LA. The big winner here is Joey Ingram. The guy works about a week total a year and absolutely kills it. His twitter was locked since he hosted the Million Dollar Game at Hustler months ago and now is unlocked for him to get paid & laid just in time for Christmas. Not hating, God Bless the guy. He has made himself a PPV attraction.

BTW I am solidly in the Garrett was cheated camp and have been for some time. Feldman saying 40% when asked by Rob Yong solidified that for me. This Bryan kid is shady af and totally desperate. I think RIP/Robbi/Bryan knew it was more likely than not that Garrett would put Robbi all in at some point.
In real time people are nervous. They are not thinking “Robbi is technically ahead but Garrett is an equity favorite, maybe this isn’t the hand.” They see Jack high beats 9 high. This is our shot. I truly do believe that now. I just don’t believe this guy Bryan would not try and profit off the fact he could see the cards. I also think Garrett knows he will lose in arbitration because there is no real evidence.
I think the scheme was made as simple as possible. This signal means you are ahead and/or this one means you are behind. It just happened to occur during a really sketchy hand. But like I said, in real time people are not thinking clearly.
Anyways, Garrett coming back is something new at least. Will be interesting to see where it goes.
