Even if you are on the side that Robbi cheated, Garrett taking the money was still awful.

I agree with you that she sucks at poker, and is obnoxiously arrogant about her game. I think that's what tilted Garrett so much. He felt like he was being cheated AND talked down to. I understand why this enraged him, but when you're a well known pro who is printing money from these streams, you just take it and move on. If he really suspected cheating, he should have asked Hustler to escrow the money pending an investigation.
He’s not establishing any precedent - he’s jeopardizing his poker reputation and future

He’s a cautionary tale and a teaching moment.
Oh, I know he isn't. And yes, he's very much harming his own rep with his actions, I agree.

However, I just don't like how a large part of the community is accepting that it's okay to demand your money back in the hallway if you think you got cheated. There should be mass outrage about this part, and then a separate discussion should be taking place whether or not there really was cheating at all.
