With the title "Ideas from Austin" I was under the impression that he finally had the balls to play in Texas. Disappointed.

Can someone stake coach for Texas? The bad beat stories would be worth it.

I know, I know. I just released a video three days ago. Don't worry, I'll return to biannual posting before you know it.

If you make money, you should file and pay your taxes. It has nothing to do with if you work for yourself or "the man".

slow poker, we haven't even texted back yet and now you're calling us?

I need part 3 urgently. These have been a fun watch.

RIP wsop SNGs??? What will he collude in now???

The SNGs are gone? They obviously need the tables for the bracelet events and cash games.

The irs has warned caesars for years about them regarding money laundering. Heard caesars got popped with a huge fine after wsop 2022.

He could probably get away with not doing it, but he's honest.

That sucks the big one! I have to re-evaluate if it's worth going any more.

I don't see how it's related to money laundering. You have to win a chip before you can sell it, which isn't all that easy any more. It's much easier to reg for a bracelet event and then get a refund.

if reg for $10k+ events w lammers doesn’t trigger a ctr that would be the hole they are trying to close

Should trigger an SAR not a CTR

Using casino chips for a 10k+ event wouldn't trigger a CTR, it's only cash that does, so I doubt using lammers would.

What is suspicious about using 10k+ in lammers to buy into a poker tournament that would trigger a SAR?

Only a poker player that makes less than Walmart's starting wage would call himself a professional.

Not sure why the IRS is all upset about Lammers. The SNGs required to win them doesn't require them to declare it. I mean 100 to 200 to win 500? I know the IRS sees 10.000 or greater transactions if done by cash but if someone invests 400-500 to win 2000 to 3000 and uses it as payment who cares?

Because the IRS can't track the source of the money and it's easy to launder.

That's why almost every poker room in Vegas and I think most places in the US, do not allow cash to play. They must be turned into chips.

On a related note, it's also easier to pass off counterfeit bills.

Coach says "the average poker player is minus some number of dollars". As always, spot on analysis and deeply constructed wisdom and another great vlog.

The fact that they went to lammers was such a horrible idea to begin with. If that is what brought the downfall of SNGs, then those who made that decision needs to be fired.

Tax forms have to be filled on tournament winnings above 5k. Satellite wins for a ME buy in surpasses this number. But it could be considered a parlay.

Bikeking is back and he's got a new lie!

Apparently, he set the world record for coast to coast on a motorcycle last year. But the hard drive that has the video evidence crashed and will cost $3000 to recover. But no worries, he had a witness verify the record so no worries.

No offense to Pman but Bikeking is a more entertaining vlogger since he shovels so much BS.

I’m more interested in knowing how many lawns he has to cut to get the $3k to get the “evidence”.

My point is that it should never trigger a CTR because it's not a cash transaction when you buy in with lammers a CTR is for cash transactions it could however trigger an SAR if the lammers were bought with cash on the secondary market which happens all the time and then used by someone other than the person that won them in order to avoid a CTR being filed... this practice is money laundering 101 which is what an SAR is designed for.

Fwiw: An SAR can be filed no matter what the transaction amount is if their is suspicion of money laundering or any other nefarious activity associated with the transaction.


Example: a drug dealer uses $50k in cash to buy enough lammers from satellite winners (aka Trooper) to enter a $50k high roller event thus avoiding a CTR for a cash transactions over $10k... he's just used $50k in dirty money and turned it clean.


So to answer your question: There's nothing suspicious about buying into a tournament with lammers it's how you got the lammers that's the issue


This is most likely the reason for the SNG's and the lammers to go the way of the dinosaurs.

If you're a fan of cringe, you need to catch Trooper's latest vlog. All but one (maybe 2?) of the players are regulars. And one of them is that god-damned attention whore, Canada Bill. A retired old man wearing Go Gamble merchandise... Lord only knows why Westgate keeps this arrangement with Trooper instead of recruiting a more marketable draw. And lord only knows why the players play there instead of juicer games at Aria/ Bellagio/ MGM, etc....

Bk new video has alot of inconsistencies with past videos and things hes said. No shock to anyone, koshka already said one big one above. I had notes but it all just felt so pathetic to me. We all know hes lying about so many things its not worth it really. Just going to give a little recap without my thoughts because its going to be a very very long post if i give my thoughts and its just not worth it.

Says he has 30k BR, and his unit size is still $100 for hockey bets. He claims to have been playing midstakes online cash and 40-100$ mtts online. He didnt play live cash much in orlando because they only have 1-2 and 2-5 and its not so great in orlando.

He has goals.

Goal #1 50k in profit, would settle for 25k, wants 100k, GL buddy.

Goal #2 Grow the channel, wants 25k subs, would settle for 10k subs and wants 100k subs.

Goal #3 phyiscal fitness

Goal #4 NHL profit from betting, 50 units for this season

Goal #5 Play the main event, i know id buy 10% for the spectacle

Goal #6 Motorcycle trip.


A funny little lie he says is that he "had a decent amount of crypto, which tanked like a rock", on a live stream he did in late april, as btc was at its peak, he says that he had a little bit of btc, its a little thing but i just find it funny, because its a classic tale of woe. Oh man, bike just got unlucky again.

I have alot of thoughts but its just not worth it, gonna just sit back and enjoy the show with him. Hope its all true, and if it is all true he will surely have no problem making 100k so i know he has nothing to worry about. The thing is like when you have so many lies, you have to keep so much straight, its very hard to do so without giving little hints out every so often. And with gambling, alot of lies are about winning, and when you do things like live in a car and play the lowest stakes it gives alot of things away.
