55 Minutes Of The Most Outrageous Controversies In Poker | Compilation 

My 8 year old son beating me off of pocket aces with a low strait run out with 2/3. Or him bluffing me off my pocket k.

Mike postle commiting grand theft robbery on live television and still got away.

Postle for sure. Robbi close second

Postle for sure !

the biggest scandal?... to me is that nobody gets punished for cheating

Yeah they shouldn't be

Definitely should go back to the old rules where you have to get up from your seat to go on your phone.

Um bc ppl have lives and loved ones… imagine playing poker and something tragic is going on at your house but ur phone is 30 feet away from you…

@@romeano4882 exactly what a cheater would say 🤣🤣seriously tho, its as easy as you have to step away from the table to use your phone and your hand is folded.

@@randallross420 but if ur phone isn’t on you how would u know to step away from the table? After every hand I’m supposed to get up and go check my phone?

If i didn't know what was going on but you showed me 10 consecutive hands of his i'd say " He keeps looking down at his crotch, what's down there anyway", WHAT ? ! his phone "?! 5,000 have watched this video, you should have at least 1,000 likes !

For sure. Put it (back) on the rail.

Exactly

Yes, and that tells me that it was a way more coerced effort than one or two guys. These scams just keep popping up. Hans Neiman also cheated in chess. I'm 100% sure about this. Yet so many take up for him. Without the public, you have no poker tournaments. The organizers are not hosting one because they are such sweet people. They are doing it because they make a fortune at it! It takes the public's support though. They can't even guarantee that everything is fair. There are corrupting spirits at work literally everywhere now. Everything that is made is suddenly double the price and last 20% as long as before. Long story short, these cheating scandals are a very organized effort with many in on it and making it nearly impossible to prove it. Like seeing someone's hole cards. There are only one source that that information goes to! That is so easy to track down, but strangely no one mentions this because it is a coverup from people higher up than the ones organizing a poker tournament.

until you suspect it's cheating then it is just a guy looking at his phone

Gold is the worst but his Main Event run was the craziest I've ever seen.

Postle is even worse.

Agreed. No issue here.

You would think so, but the tournament wants to know because in some cases it can be used as a form of cheating. There is a case where someone paid one or a number of players entry fee, the player paying the fees said that if they ever go heads up, the other player will auto fold regardless of the hand they have, which is basically giving him free chips, if the time arises. It did when they both was on the same table, so basically the tournament is saying it is ok, as long as it does not involve one player getting an unfair advantage over anyone else.

Lol yea, except they could be cheating together.

Well it literally broke rules so no... not true lmao

That's pretty much most chess grandmasters now lol. It's equivalent of undefeated boxing records and is a big problem in chess.

Color me shocked batman

@@rachit4487 no this isnt a big problem in chess at all. Rating is just rating, it doesn't make a huge difference to high level tournaments. At the highest level tournaments the player who plays the best wins. There is no problem of rigging for wins or rating points.

"you're" ... buddy , come on you should know this by now! 😉

​@@AmbitiousAngel You messed up your punctuation.

​@@AmbitiousAngelNo space needed after "buddy" if there's a comma following the word.

I think she mistook her hand as being J3 but then changed her story during the hand cuz she was embarrassed by the mistake.

I cant understand why its so shocking, Garrett frequently makes bluffs in that position, granted Robbi may or may not have known about his playing style, still, the fact remains, he bluffed, got caught out. I hate table bullies demanding respect when they're known to mix it up.

Her body language after winning the hand is so weird. Never seen anyone looking ashamed after winning

@@golfmaniac007 100%.

​@@kylominylobecause there were so many potential beats in that hand she should have dropped out earlier and even a bluff could have beaten her J high. In that position for that much money you would have to be a moron to play like that.

Games would be better too, people would be forced to socialize and open up

Bro HCL is doing very well still. They regularly have nose-bleed games going on with no issue. Even more than that: AFTER the scandal (8 months after at least) they had a few days where EVERY player on the table had to sit with 1 million dollars minimum.

@@AmbitiousAngel for the first day yes but every day after was 500k.

I appreciate that!

Not necessarily. If she just knew that it was a flip, folding would be -EV. It’d be like having money in the middle, and your opponent betting to try to make you fold a river coin flip in which you have slightly better odds

@@vlet5995true but if you had that info you would have much better spots than a coin flip. I don’t think robbi knew the cards. It’s just so bizarre it doesn’t make sense whether she was or wasn’t cheating.

Against his actual hand she is an appreciable favorite and the call is profitable, but not knowing his hand she should frequently be a dog against his range of hands.

she's an airhead with a ton of money. not completely unfathomable she'd make a stupid ego call with jack high. i've seen worse, albeit not for as much money.

There are systems designed to just tell you what seat will win that hand without knowing what the other person has so she could have known she would win without knowing how much equity Garret had in the hand

Yeah If someone wins 250k playing 2-5 and 1-3 in a year...that's pretty obvious

Unless hou are looking for tik tok fame. By yourvlogic this mrans Mike Postle is innocent. He didnt return anything but Robbi did.

This is what i don't get either. He'd been playing and playing well for several years before 2006, so why would he even need someone to front him the 10k? And even if they did and he went back on his "deal" with his backer... who cares? That's between Gold and his backer, has nothing to do with how the play was at the tables does it? I mean did he cheat when playing the WSOP that year or is this "controversy" just over the agreement or non-agreement between him and some other dude? I mean, if he didn't cheat and he won it fair and square, then the contract with the backer is just other news and they can settle it or not.

Pros have backers all the dammed time to avoid variance. He wasn’t very good before the wsop main win he had and this video has incorrect bullshit thru the entire thing. First off, it’s not only legal and not in the rules whatsoever, to have backers. It happens for literally thousands of players each WSOP. Gold was still very much an amateur player at the time and had most of his money at that juncture tied up in his production company-which was his full time job before this tournament. The video shows several highlights but all of those were AFTER his main event win and he was extremely bad in the high stakes episodes he was on. It was commonly known that he was a big target for the cash game hustlers back then.

Bro every single poker player has backers, even today. You think they put their money up? Shows how much you know about the gambling world, stay away if you think like this. You'll literally lose your life with this mentality.

Not saying that Gold was right to not split his winning but you are a moron for thinking that backers aren't everywhere😂😂😂

@@poppadoc. "Lose your life", why would he exactly? PS: the're plenty of tournament pros that don't have backers, especially online.

Then go away

U produce the video then

There is no evidence of her cheating. It's just that the play she made, and the things she said afterwards were kinda suspect. The play itself is weird, and when she's trying to explain her thought process it doesn't make any sense. A lot of people suspect her of cheating, other people think she just made a really bad play and got lucky.

Really weird, like he got caught lacking

Yes! Boski is an a-hole

how so?

@@kevdawg55 watch him up on twitch….. and just compare his live results vs online results. He plays with his nose open live. He scraps data and uses it in real time online. But it’s ACR I know it’s the wild Wild West. We all know Phil Nagy is a “stand up” guy right??? 😂 😂 😂

Yea how so? I am friends with Boski and have never seen him do anything unethical. If anything he makes sure games are run fairly and cares about the integrity of the game. The most you could say about him that I would agree with him as that he can be a nit sometimes. Guess what though, that isn't against the rules. I do the same thing sometimes to increase my win rate. So what exactly has Boski done that is unethical?

@@Haanski dude he scapes data and uses it in real time….. he use to glitch on his show screen now u can see him looking down at a separate tablet or phone. Of course if ur friends with the guy ur gonna say he’s squeaky clean but come on man

Gotta love a survivor reference

@@PokerBoomYT **agrees in Llama**

lol

J4o is very close though

It's similar to Chris Ferguson stealing from thousands of people. Jamie just stole from one. Do you want to play poker against a thief?

@@jim0084 What that guy does on his time has nothing to do with me. What he does with his own money or who he doesnt give it to has no bearing on the game being played.

​@@jimmyplenderleith9471 You didn't answer the question 😂 Your ducking him

Ryusuke wasn't at the table, but known cheater Phil Ivey was.

@@snowmonkey4863 Ryusuke was at the table

​@@antzooma Ah yes, the guy who got staked and didn't pay people back... just like Tom Dwan. How does Ryusuke being at the table during J4 warrant a comment but Phil Ivey doesn't?

she cheated. it’s blatantly obvious.

I don’t think she cheated. She’s just a bad player and has always been a bad player. You can’t play bluff poker vs bad players because they don’t know when to fold. Garrett has to learn that!

Fr she’s calling a raise with J4 off, like in what world is a pro calling with that. It’s clear she’s an amateur playing and caught a pro on accident 💀

"it's blatantly obvious" Explain how, there's a delay so it had to be someone there. Who was it? How did they do it? And why that spot. We'll wait.

bs she was in on cheating dont know what kind of help she had but...

Hell yeah

I dont get it either

She was actually behind the entire hand, and he didn't have air, he had an open ended straight flush draw. The controversy starts with the fact that her play is very bad. Best case scenario she was facing a coinflip (which was the scenario they were in), worst case scenario she is losing the vast majority of the time. A bad play on its own is not necessarily controversial, but her explanation after the hand definitely made it controversial. She said she called because she thought he had Ace high, but she isn't beating Ace high, so that explanation makes zero sense. There is no evidence of her cheating, so I don't think it's okay to claim that she cheated. However, she definitely lied about how she played the hand, which fueled the controversy. I think there is a real chance she misread her hand and was embarrassed to admit it.

@@mark5071 he went all in with air.

@@mark5071 no Mark whether it be on the flop the turn of the river and each of those points. Her hand was best. He went all in. He had nothing he was on a drawer. She had him beat. This is a guy who thinks he’s a genius and he wasn’t. Plus poker is basically a game that’s 90% luck anyway I don’t see what the big deal was. She thought he had nothing she was right.

@@nycitylifeandhistoryEvaluating who is ahead or behind is not about who can make the best hand in that moment, unless you're on the river. Pre-river it's about who has the most chance to win the hand based on the potential run-outs. You have no idea how poker works, which is fine, but you can either try and understand what my comment meant, or choose to be ignorant. If it's the latter, don't waste your time, because I certainly won't either.

Facts I don’t understand this one at all tbh

Well you’re a cheater or a terrible player

@@joshjaco221 No, you are just not a level that you can understand

@@MegaJman72you’re still losing to so many bluffs bozo

@@joshjaco221 Name calling? Typical, you clearly don't understand any aspect of the game

Then you’re invited to my home game 😂😂😂

Because woman called a famous man’s bluff of course she was cheating right
