What's her advantage or cheat here?

How would the device that she was using know if she has the best hand?

Do you have Jade Lew’s # by chance? Asking for a friend

The theory seems to be that she had a remote controlled vibrator 'installed', and whoever had the remote had access to the live card reader feed.

It was broadcast 'live', is there a delay?

If there is then her partner would need to be someone on the inside.

The theory is that she tanked long enough so that the delay on the live stream showed the beginning of the hand (along with the hole cards), and then someone somehow relayed that information to her.

My theory is that

. Anyone else think she's transgender? There's definitely been a lot of work done on her.

I would think there would be a delay to prevent things like this

I’m not sure his argument holds water because if she knew he was on a draw, albeit a very strong one, why would she have agreed to run it twice?

agreed it was a very strange call tho

for appearances maybe? She looked guilty to me. Returning the money seals it. Why would she do that? Doesn't pass the smell test. She panicked when he said millions of people are going to see this.

running it twice would just reduce variance. garret had a higher chance to win the pot anyways but she had odds to call if she knew his hand. if she didnt know his hand then she has to be incredibly stupid and bad at poker and also be astronomically generous to just give back 130k+ because she didnt want him to be upset that he lost.

then she said she thought she had a 3 and that she didnt look back at her hand. she did look back at her hand for a long time after the all in bet and also told someone during the hand that she didnt have a 3 when asked.

i mean its possible that she is just really bad and really generous but what are the odds? unless she and her husband are billionaires or close then i would say she probably cheated.

Playing poker for many years….she 100 percent cheated. It’s not even a question. Somehow she was told she was good. It’s the only logical explanation. She can’t even explain why she called.

Tournament announced an announcement coming soon

Vit, you think she might have misread her hand? Only explanation I can think of

 

[Hunch]

I think most likely she's just a bad player.

Saw elsewhere that she normally plays smaller buy in tournaments.

She figured he was bluffing and called not considering that she had nothing also. Ended up married to the pot so she calls the all in too.

 

[Franklee168]

She must have thought she had J3. No other explanation. These players pass money back and fourth all the time. Most are friends off the table. Hustler casino getting free publicity.

Am I the only one to think her look is nasty/trashy? To each their own but I hate the whole lips thing. Total turnoff. Maybe going for a Jolie look? No thanks. Sucks that women have to feel the need to keep getting stuff done.

WTF was the story below it on how a chess guy cheated with vibrating anal beads.

 

[rsstreams]

The two top internet poker analysts suggest that the player is just an inexperienced player who was willing to pay off to see what someone had because the money wasn't that big of a deal, it just so happened she had the best hand. She is an inexperienced player that has just started to learn some nuances of the game and has stepped up quickly in stakes but would likely figure to lose quickly and become disinterested.

The reason the triggers from the control room wouldn't be involved is because the crew doing this particular stream have a ton of experience and wouldn't tarnish their reputation on such an awful fix of a game, such as the Mike Postle game.

She just made an awful play and doesn't even realize that trash-talking this type of scenario is just a real bad look. Ignorant to social aspects involved in hand-reading and tells. To carry it on later in social media was even more laughable.

Adelstein should accept any challenge to play heads up because he would be at a massive advantage.

Personally I like the fake look, but in her case I think it goes a step further than that. I've already said my piece on this to no repsonse, but the surgery + big hands + height + sweater that minimizes the broadness of her shoulders makes me think she's got a bigger surprise than calling with J4.

This makes sense. I think she just let the situation get the best of her, made an awful call and happened to get very, very lucky
