Sorry to hear about this Will, might wanna xpost other places so everyone sees.

Chino has an art of scamming people. He is very charming, and makes you feel really ****ty if you don't lend him money. He makes you feel really guilty, and convinces you 100% that he'll pay you back tomorrow...etc...

It's one thing to say, how can anyone trust Chino... and another to be talking to him, and hearing sob stories etc... and before you know it, you are reaching into your pocket to take out the 10K....

30minutes later, you are kicking yourself and wondering what the heck you are thinking... Believe me... chino is one of the best at doing this.... Jean Robert Bellande is another

and AhKh can still win

^^ grats, that was the point

has anyone estimated how much total Chino owes? just from people that have posted or w/e

I've never played with him before but you make a good point. Saying a human being shouldn't be murdered is something I must be doing only because I have a chance for financial gain.

Lol, not getting enough love

Poker players are some of the dumbest business people in the world.

off all the people this low life has scammed...how has no one bitch slapped this little turd?

You've already lost 40K. For 1K more can't you hire some low lifes to go .... do something to him?

this ^^, he most likely robbed ppl for 6 figures and didnt get punished, wat a joke

I had no idea so few people knew about Chino.

First of all, he's a very charming, nice guy. Second of all if he ever won the lottery for $10mil, I guarantee he will pay everyone back (as long as you see him before he sees the pits).

I also don't want anyone else getting scammed so I'll say this: he has also scammed me for $40k and I know others in the same spot. The poker world is full of borrowing and lending money, so when a well-known player comes to you with believable collateral, it's hard not to lend money. For me, the collateral he offered was that he had a piece of the Grinder at the WSOP Main Event last summer. The Grinder confirmed this for me. But clearly it was offered to multiple people and I never saw a dime back.

Of course I hate having to eat $40k but there is nothing we can do in this situation. I'm not gonna get money back through violence. I can't sue (and even if I did, he's broke he can't pay). He still plays everything through either more scams or through his numerous connections in live poker so we do have to see him all the time. I do not expect to see a dime back unless he goes on a miraculous heater. It's an expensive and stupid lesson I had to learn (ie don't trust anybody) and have to live with. The best I can do now is to save other people from being robbed.

Moral of the story: Do not lend Chino money.

i think we should blast him on twitter or wherever every chance we get

that is terrible, the poker community needs to come up with a legal way(ie. not violence that'll get you in jail instead of Chino) to punish him. there's no way he can somehow be banned from WSOP/WPT/etc? how about get him banned from Commerce/Bellagio/Aria/Venetian? you and Will Molson and Ben Lamb are big names in poker, cant you talk to the floor in Vegas casinos and Commerce? im sure no poker room would like to see more of its high profile regs scammed by Chino...

Does he even have his own house/apt or anything? A nice car? Or does he just carry his big cashes in a pillow case around until it's all gone from degenning around town? He's definitely making some people (i.e., live players, strippers, etc.) lots of $ which also somewhat protects him.






this. i want to know about his lifestyle outside of the casinos. IE where does he sleep, how does he cloth himself, etc etc

feel like the moral of the story is if everyone just rolls over and takes it, chino will continue to scam everyone.


You should 100% go after him legally. Go after him physically, go after him mentally and punish him in every way possible until he realizes its not ok.
