Those two should play heads up in a PPV event. I'd pay to see that grudge match.
And also, after watching the video, here's my take:
RBK, I didn't hear anyone say Josh should scoop the whole pot. Some loudmouth said off camera that Josh should double up. That was a mistake, but that's not the same as scooping the whole pot as you claimed.
Secondly, RBK, as annoying as it is to have some jerk who's not even in the hand yell for the wrong action (doubling up Josh), you really shouldn't have gone the route of making personal insults. It makes you very unsympathetic which makes people not want to give you the benefit of the doubt, and it also resulted in the possible threat against your life (Josh is a convicted drug dealer so those threats may have some weight). I think you could have gone as far as telling the guy who wasn't in the hand to shut up while the dealer did his job, but going too far to personally insult people who may be criminals just isn't a good idea.
Third, I think that it is EXTREMELY unfair to use this incident alone as proof that RBK is an angleshooter. This hand was directly viewed by the dealer, the floor, the commentators, and all the people on twitch. This hand will forever be archived in LATB and will never disappear. It just seems odd that someone would pick THIS spot to angle shoot a few hundred dollars and ruin a reputation.
For people who want to continue saying RBK was angleshooting this hand, what was his plan? To yell loud enough to fool the dealer and the floor who watched the whole hand? And hope no other players or LATB viewer noticed what he did? And to never pay back the money if someone did find out and call him out on it and ruin his reputation forever?
I'm not going to lie, RBK comes off as really unsympathetic here. I can't speak on his skills in playing actual hands, but clearly, he does a very bad job of keeping his customers happy. Josh was having fun going all in with an exposed 10 and somehow, you pissed him off enough to get your life threatened. Why do you want players like him to be miserable and hate you? The guy went all in with a ten exposed... and you are standing on your feet yelling and insulting him. Facepalm.
Next time, just let the dealer do his job and correct him if he makes a mistake. Definitely do not scare away the Josh's of your table.
