  • Everyone loves high stakes poker on television. From the World Series of Poker, to Hustler Casino Live, and especially the live streams on Poker At The Lodge, there are tons of great shows to choose from. But are they legit? And how can we know for sure? Let's take a deep dive.

If this was commonly done like some reverse slow roll then okay she got him but she paid him back instantly is odd.

    Nobody is ever calling with J high there ever . She only beats that exact hand Garrett has & then its still a flip . She gave Garret the money back because she wanted it to go away as she had been caught along with the guy in the backroom & didn't want it to blow up . She called in totally the worst spot she could have & the only way she does that if she was cheating . She got let of light & is lucky to still be playing .

    This is even more interesting in a way after reading and watching Negreanu and Ausmus during the 50K this week, because Ausmus was insistent that a lot of his hands that were shown he held were not accurate throughout the tournament so it might be funny to find cheating fails, where people thought they won but their cheating went awry by way of faulty RFD

    In case anyone is thinking that a cheat could use a RFID card reader at the table to cheat by logging which unique strings of numbers, say, the aces are transmitting, the number sent to the reader is different every time.
    Every time the card needs to be read, the RFID reader sends a newly generated number to the chip in the card, which then uses a secure algorithm to calculate and generate a different identification number to send back to the reader. That number is then plugged into another algorithm to identify the card for the viewers. The entire interchange is encrypted for good measure.
    So even if someone gets an RFID card reader close enough to another player's hole cards, it's not going to read anything useful.

    I remember during the original Poker Stars Big Game, there was some speculation as to whether the pros were playing with their own or real money. The production suggested it was legit. However, in one big hand between Phil Laak and Daniel Negreanu, Laak tanked with trip aces on the river before calling the large bet and winning. He immediately explained the tank by saying, “In a *real* cash game, that’s a fold” … and his table mates’ expression made it look as though Laak just revealed a secret that he shouldn’t have.

    • @BortSamsung

      I'm not sure I would read that as, "we are playing with fake money." To me that sounds more like, "In a real cash game that isn't televised (so people can see me being nitty) and doesn't have poker pros splashing money with awful hands I would fold." Those games (and really any televised/streamed cash game tbh) used to play incredibly loose, Phil Galfond actually has a vid about being kicked off high stakes poker for playing too tight.

    Depending on how often the decks are swapped, the RFID codes could be mapped. It wouldn't be hard to scan your hold cards. Eventually, you could scan the cards for most of the deck. If you had a strong enough scanner, you could probably scan the players to the direct left and right. You wouldn't have a lot of data, but even knowing the value of 1 hold card could mean the difference of a win/loss.

    The biggest skill in poker is game selection. It basically and simplistically means that you choose games where you play against whales/noobs and you avoid playing with those who have some skill and try to never play with those who have better skill. Well, if you calculate this, it means that the whole scheme is ponzi. It relies on attracting noobs who will lose their money to you. But eventually you will run out of noobs

    I'm still on Robbi's side. If she knew what Garrett had then she , or whoever she was in cahoots with knew the odds weren't in their favor 53% to 47% odds so calling would be a bad risk. Also, she said it herself, I'm playing you Garrett, not the cards. She knew he was bluffing a lot, had a reputation for bluffing, and had a feeling she had top card with the J. Giving back the money doesn't spell cheating to me either, it spells a young woman in a largely men's game in a very new to her casino on a very popular steam. She didn't want the notoriety, but even after returning the money, Garret wouldn't let it go, and caused them both a lot of grief! We'll never know the 100% truth on this one, but she did take a polygraph, and passed so whatever that's worth plays into my opinion she wasn't cheating!👍😎✌🗽

      I think you are right. You can't rely on players doing the logical, by the percentages move every time and if they don't they are cheaters. People gamble, get a feeling, or are playing the player. The fact she gave back the money is the same sort of thing - It wasn't logical (or something I would ever do), but that doesn't necessarily mean she cheated. If she had lost the hand no one would even noticed. If it was Dnegs instead of Robbie we would all think it was just another great read by the maser.

    Robbi was a committed recreational player who had studied Garrett and his habitual bluffing. She practiced for months or years to take him down. This was her opportunity and she made the most of it. Garrett publicly accused her of cheating, maligned her play, her and her husband and under pressure, she refunded the money on the condition that he return to play more in the same game that night. She was 100% confident she could win the same money back from him AGAIN and MORE. Unfortunately, he changed his mind, chickened out and absconded with the money she had won from him. In my opinion, she and her husband have a slam dunk case against him for character assassination as proven by thousands of online comments posted against her by people taking Garrett's word for it.

      The first recorded use of that name is from the late 1700s, when the new United States of America was discussing whether English or German would be the country's official language. (btw, do you know what the official language of USA is?)
      Many Lutherans of German heritage also spoke Latin and used the term "quisquam" to mean "anyone in general."

    A more interesting question is "Is online poker rigged?".
    When you look at the facts that not one poker site has all its code audited by an outside source apart from poker stars random number generator.
    Banks had to do this after some programmer started shaving interest which forced by law external audits of the banks software code.
    But why would poker sites manipulate the results?
    To encourage bad gamblers to win more , to play more to get more rake!
    Are the poker sites owners that greedy to risk that?
    If they had nothing to hide they would have an external audit but not one does it even to get a completive edge in marketing against other online poke sites.
    It makes you think!
    You also notice nobody in the poker industry talks about this issue. Yes talking at you Doug!

    I'm curious about the RFID being secure. If the RFID chips in each card are assigned randomized IDs before the game, and if someone saw those RFIDs they would only see the ID and not the card suit and value, couldn't they just play for an hour or so, and every time they got their hole cards match it up to the two RFID IDs. At first you couldn't be sure which of your two cards match up to which of the two RFID IDs, but after a while you would be able to eliminate and match up the IDs with the card to where you know what every RFID ID represents?

    The thing that I think people are missing with these RFID readers is that if you have one built into a cell phone or some other device, or one that’s easily held in the palm of your hand, you can scan the RFID chip to get that string of characters. If you send one of these strings to somebody else via text message or some other method, and then let them know what that card was, that player could easily keep a database of what string of characters is for which card. Now, if you use the same portable RFID reader and got caught enough to your opponents chips, for instance, standing over them, staring at their cards or their chips and pretending to get a chip count, cough cough, you could have a way to read those RFID readers and get a response back from your collaborator in in real time what cards they have.
    It would be difficult and time-consuming, but most streams last for several hours so the chances that you’re going to see a majority of these cards is not out of the question.
    You would have to have some way of getting close enough to that person, so when you’re playing heads up against somebody next to you, it’s quite feasible to cheat in this method

    It depends what you mean by rigged. Phil Hellmuth does not play by the same rules as others. Players have had penalties and been kicked from tournaments for much less than what Phil does on a regular basis. It is disgusting these double standards exist and are far from subtle.
    Section IV. 30. Harrah’s may in its sole and absolute discretion impose penalties of any kind or nature upon any person who, in Harrah’s view engages in inappropriate conduct during tournament play.
    Section IV. 31. Harrah’s also reserves the right to exclude any individual(s) acting in a disruptive or inappropriate manner.
    Section IV. 35. Any player who directs any profane and/or abusive language at another player, dealer or tournament staff member or who makes any profane and/or abusive comments about another player, dealer or tournament staff member will be penalized in accordance with
    Rules No. 31 and/or 51. In particular, the use of the so-called "f-bomb" and "c-bomb" as well as derivatives of those and similarly offensive terms, will subject the offending player to penalties if they are directed at or refer to another player, dealer, staff member, patron or official of Harrah's or the WSOP. In Harrah’s sole and absolute discretion, it may impose at any time a zero-tolerance policy for profane language whether directed at another person or not.
    These rules do not Apply to Phil Hellmuth and other famous players that get a pass no matter what they do.
    There are other provisions in the rulebook to disqualify or penalize players except Phil Hellmuth.
    If you think this is not rigged, then I suggest you get a dictionary and read what rig(ged) means... NOT the shipping term.
    I am not saying Phil is a bad person or good person - I've never met him. I don't give a faeces about famous people. All I want is a fair game for every player with the rules applied equally to everyone. Swear or don't swear - I don't care. Just have the same rules for everyone.
    It is obvious and clear to anyone with ears, eyes and a brain that much of poker is rigged in some way or another.
    Maybe not your club, I don't know. It wouldn't matter to me either way as I would lose because I am crap at poker. It is still fun for me to play in a fair game.
