Yeah that is why I asked OP about experience contacting the gaming commission or paramutual or whatever it is called in FL???

I am curious about something.......when you told the dealer you would be there in like 3 mins, did he call you to let you know they guy was there? I mean how were you on the phone with him? Did he just take a break and step away from the table to call you?

In the second paragraph, you mention, by the time you got there they guy transferred tables and wasn't around when you ...'went looking'... for him....My guess is dealer said something to him, letting him him know you were coming. Only because if you were there...'in like 3 mins'..... someone tipped him off....random stuff doesn't happen that fast........It just seems weird the dealer would think the guy would come in and shoot up his barber shop......if the said dealer ratted him out....maybe the dealer got a cut of the 13k and not worried about you doing anything irrational.......

I believe what you say, since I have not met you however the more you explain, the more it seems things just don't add up in your favor, maybe the dealer is 2 faced and not really your friend.....

Actually dickheads w no common sense who think they're better at life than someone if they're better at poker make 2p2 miserable often times.

Only 1 or 2 people think you're making this up. The rest of us just think you're naive, handled a bad situation poorly, got a dealer fired and got banned for being a pain in the ass to deal with. Nobody is glad your money got stolen.

The best about this guy is that he now has again thrown his dealer 'friend' under the bus....MORON, he told you he didn't want to get involved...so you show up and say 'hey a dealer told me this guy who found my lost money was here tonight'....hmmmm what part of 'didn't want to get involved' didn't you understand. You could have said i heard this guy was here...not limit it to the 12 people who are dealers in the room.

Then if that isn't bad enough, the dealer says 'i know this guy, but i don't want him to know it was me'....you then say 'Founder of money guy is a CLIENT OF DEALERS BARBERSHOP!' how many players you think go into this guys barbersharp...not going to take the guy long to figure out whom the dealer was that 'didn't want to get involved'

and to make matters worse, when the original thread was closed..you BRING IT UP AGAIN!

you sir, may be the worst human being alive...throwing someone under the bus that was trying to help you and then constantly reminding people who this dealer is!

Oops

Sucks being thrown under the bus, huh bro

OP, honestly not trolling here but don't understand:

If dealer friend/barbershop owner knows guy who picked up dropped $ from floor (which was all on camera) why didn't he just "anonymously" tell you his name (barbers know their clients names) and you can go to the police with this info. They can confront him and go from there....

Because his story is bizarre and that's a kind word for it. He threw a hard working dealer totally under the bus and has ZERO remorse for doing so. Plus he has flip flopped a bunch of times of whether he even wants to play there anymore so take whatever this ridiculous OP says with a grain of salt.

Last time I played 5/10 PLO at the cas I dropped 1k in a money clip as I was leaving the table. Young asian reg sitting at the table picks it up and gives it back to me as I'm walking away /brag

Guess there are still honest people in the world, but who knows what even I'd do if I found a stack on the ground.

Sorry to hear about your beat though, guess it's at least worth a life lesson at the end of the day.

I'm starting to feel like EastCoastBalla isn't a troll. He is actually ******ed.

IMO, there is a huge difference between finding a huge stack on the ground and watching someone drop it and picking it up and running off.

I'm starting to think EastCoastBalla is actually Joe McKeehen having fun.

TIL that you can indeed keep "stacks" of money you find on the casino floor, as long as you didn't see who dropped it.

I think you're onto something

NO WAY!!!

lol

Hmmm… I guess what most of us don’t understand – is why you raised a fuss and so many issues with loosing the money (13k) and not recovering it.

I know that the money it is yours - or partly yours and your friends or backers – that being said-

If you make 500 per hour and play 60 hours a week – the 13k you lost on the floor could have been made back in 26 hours of play – just a few days – so we don’t understand all the hassle - the involvement of staff – dealers etc.

I know – I know – it is 13k – but cmon – you make 500 per hour - that’s 1,560,000 a year – why do you need backers – why do you need roommates – why have staff make phone calls to you directly – why give up their name – why hunt down the person your self –

your social media says you live in Boca Raton that like 40 minutes away…not just a few minutes away....(maybe you moved)

but - The story does not add up…

The Kennel Club has a revenue target to hit each month. Period.

Players are the tool that hits that amount. Period.

They don't care about "long term". Period.

They are the only game in town, and they know that. Period.

They want to make as much as they can - as quick as they can - with the least amount of hassle or investment back into the property as they can.!!! Period.

Since we all know that - being banned is probably a good thing. You will just have to travel a little farther (or closer) like the rest of us for a better poker playing environment.

I do feel for you though - I know the tone of this post won’t read like that, but I do.

I have seen several people banned from here - the kennel club - that is I why I don't ever say too much, or get too involved in anything at the Kennel Club - I
just sit and listen and play my game and talk occasionally to the players. I have seen too many people get "involved" - and once that happened - I did not see them around again. They reserve the right to refuse service on private property….and they do that, very often...

So simple what really happened here after he dropped the money he became a target they guy who found the money worked or hung out at barber shop like pool halls where crimes are hatched out . He could identify the mark hence why he was robbed again makes his story more believable not less because the 2 are connected in someway . After he lost the money is when he became a target. my 2 cents sorry to hear but very likely I believe him

Why would you want to keep playing there? You're a mark now dude. Next up is getting followed home to where you live and getting pistol whipped for your cash or worse yet getting "your house full of professional poker players" ran up in for an even bigger score.

You should also definitely feel awful for opening your mouth about what that dealer told you. When someone says, "Hey, don't tell anyone I said this," why is it so hard for people to not tell anyone who said it? Why did you run right up there like a little high school bitch and tell the floor when the dealer specifically told you not to? What was the floor going to do? Politely ask the suspect to give your money back? As soon as you did that you now bring the dealer into your own idiotic troubles. Now the floor could think the dealer chums it up and runs with the people who stole your money and may have to fire the dealer based on what the dealer told you.

You're the idiot who dropped 10k-15k on the floor. That was gone forever the second it happened. You were never going to see it back unless someone wanted to be a nice guy, and that someone didn't, he wanted to leave with the money he found. I mean even if the guy was there with a $hit eating grin on his face laughing about the money he stole from you, how did you plan to get it back? Lol? Shame him? Threaten violence? Tell him your attorney would be giving him a call? Call the police? As sad as this sounds, there isn't really anything the police are going to do about it, and they would probably all have a good chuckle at you being irate and yelling "He did it!!! He has my poker money!!!" They probably care just a little bit more about your 15k that was stolen as they do a cocaine dealers 15k that came up missing. They might even think you're completely full of $hit and making everything up.

Sorry if all of the above sounds harsh, I play poker for my primary source of income as well, most people look at you like you're a complete lying degenerate $hitbag when you tell them you play for a living. They probably think you're the same and a nuisance to boot. It is not anyone's fault but your own you dropped that money and lost it and it is also not anyone else's fault but your own that you continued to carry large sums of money in a place where some dirt bag (and now his dirtbag friends) already knew you were a sucker. The first story about you losing 10k-15k was the direct and proximate reason why you lost even more. Hope the police catch the scum bag who held you up at gun point and get some of those pumpkin $$$s back, but you need to chalk up the losses and move on hoss. That $$$ is never coming back and worst yet, you're a mark for the rest of your life in that room. If I were you I'd care more about getting that dealer his job back than getting your money.

I don't see how anyone could trust you with money if a completely innocent dealer can not even trust you to keep your mouth shut about a helpful hint he didn't even have to give your dumb ass.

Them banning you is a favor.

hmmm. very interesting - makes sense - the robbery seems to random for it to just happen - and to happen to someone with large sums - how did they know he had money on him....probably connected - or an accomplish saw him at the cage cashing out...

strange - though - he said he had a box there - then - why always is he carrying large sums of cash on him in and out of the kennel club...???

anyway - we can all learn from this - at the kennel club - the sheriffs will escort you to the valet and wait with you until your car arrives - all you need to do is ask them. Anyone reading this - take advantage of this if you are there.

Good point. And I was thinking the lesson to be learned was the OP's takeaway:

Agree with everything you wrote, everything.

What about the cranberi chips someone tried to cash in a short while after the robbery? Those where obviously the ops? Why does kennel club pocket them?

Whatever you do, don't read the thread, because both of those things were addressed itt.

Good to keep updating this

If everyone in the room knows you and obviously enough people there recognize him you've gotta be able to figure out who it is no? Go kick his fkn door in.

Even if they are "obviously" his I imagine there are still a bunch of hoops the casino has to legally jump through because of gaming and the fact they're probably considered evidence. The process probably takes between a long time and ****ing forever normally. This time the process will most likely be taking close to forever because OP is both being a huge pain in the ass to the casino and refuses to get a lawyer that would know how to speed the process up besides just asking for them back
