Lew later meme plus#
When I bring up his 2008 Two Plus Two post, in which a then-22-year-old Adelstein grappled with his ambivalence over a career playing cards, he says: “Despite not knowing much about anything at that time, I think I realized spending my professional life on a zero-sum game was going to have problems.”Ĭheating has been a long-standing concern within the poker community. The drama has left Adelstein uncertain when he’ll return to the poker table. Lew, 37, denied the allegation, which she called “defamatory.” In a more than four-hour interview from his Manhattan Beach home on Tuesday, Adelstein said he was “extremely confident” that he was the target of a cheating ring involving not just Lew but other players and at least one member of the show’s production crew.
Whereas he once spent much of his time studying optimal strategy, reviewing past hands and appearing on streams from Hustler Casino in Gardena and Bicycle Casino in Bell Gardens, he is now hyper-focused on conducting his own investigation to prove his case. Lew has maintained her innocence: “I 100% unequivocally did not cheat,” she told The Times, “and I’m just waiting for the investigation to show that.”Īdelstein, 36, hasn’t played poker since. Robbi Jade Lew invited me to a jeweler in an effort to prove her ruby ring didn’t help her win the Texas Hold ’Em hand that has rocked the poker world. The production company behind “Hustler Casino Live” said it is investigating and has yet to turn up proof of cheating by Lew or anyone else.īusiness An afternoon with Robbi Jade Lew, the woman at the center of the poker cheating scandal
Some fellow pros have said Lew’s strategy in the hand was inexplicable unless she knew Adelstein’s cards Lew later said she was confused about what she had but outplayed him nonetheless. Video of the hand - in which Lew’s unorthodox all-in call with the jack of clubs and the four of hearts led to an improbable win - was watched by 20,000 people as it was streamed and by hundreds of thousands more as the clip went viral. 29, Adelstein made the biggest bet of his life: risking his well-respected reputation, and possibly his poker career, when he accused rookie player Robbi Jade Lew of cheating in a $269,000 hand against him on “Hustler Casino Live.” “I just can’t see myself playing poker as a career for more than another 1-2 years at most.”įourteen years of playing professional poker later, Adelstein is one of the game’s best and most profitable high-stakes cash players, known to viewers of popular casino broadcasts for his loose-aggressive style of no-limit hold ’em and his willingness to buy in for enormous sums of money, bringing as much as $1 million to the table. “The main problem with poker for me is that day to day, I have mixed feelings about how happy I am doing this as a living,” he wrote in the 2008 post.
