She was right in her LA Times article not everyone has money like making more than $100k a year and so if people are playing for quarters at home they don't understand how she could do that so easily or why she doesn't care about $135k cause she can just go work another year and get it back.
Robbi was doing what normal poker players do all the time, one year's salary with a Jack high happens at the casino everyday!
There’s some holes in this line of thinking.
1. She’s married to a lawyer/entrepreneur, I won’t speculate how rich he is/ or isn’t, but you can google it.
2. Many wealthy people have jobs that pay “only” 150-160k salaries. #1 and who knows if her family has wealth.
3. She was basically freerolling a 50/50 stake. She didn’t put up her own money.
