If you were in the book it hindered your ability to play in casinos. Probably more to it than that
my view on loco remains the same, albeit I treat him with civility when he doesn’t break the rules I expect followed and he hasn’t done that very often the past few months...not since he called our resident elitist golf playing accountant a ‘behemoth’
Spy misunderstood my surprise that he has allowed loco to get under his skin. IMO, he needs to remember that lions don’t care what sheep think of them.
Cool, I had heard of that registry but wasn't aware it was called that.
The term "behemoth" seems like a compliment if given to a man.
Spy: It's important to realize that if you do something that loco can't then it's because you have some sort of unfair advantage. Let me guess, you're not under 8% BF therefore your strength isn't real, it was all fat gains? He's used this logic to make himself feel better for years. He refuses to get on trt, therefore anyone who does owes all of their strength to the roids, nevermind that they work their ass off. If someone is above 10% BF, then they're stronger than him because they are willing to be fat. Someone is smarter than him at math? Well he'd be teaching complex math courses at Harvard if his parents had put him in the correct classes when he was in middle school.
FWIW I know I often speak in hyperbole, but those three examples are somehow actual things he's said, often repeatedly.

NRS can be taken advantage of in a number of ways. Smaller casinos are generally the best for NRS as they are usually not as sophisticated as big vegas ones.
HOWEVER - we absolutely blasted 2 large casinos in Las Vegas back in the day. get got over 600k from one and close to 300k from another in very short time using nrs. When I got back roomed in Uruguay we were doing NRS - it was funny b/c they said we were "controlling the 10's and Aces". Which I guess we were.
Finding games - I spent the better part of a decade travelling North America and the carribean as a road gambler. That is how most games are found. You literally stumble into a gold mine where they are missing some critical aspect of game protection and win AMAP. THe game in Curacao was found by a pal of mine who was a major player in the MIt group that went there to see the solar eclipse. He stumble upon this game and pretty much kept it in his back pocket. Its been so long so I cant remember exactly how the negotiations went but he knew I was travelling a bunch and offered it up.
Griffin - was the big detective orginization that was originally established to minitor for cheats. They made piles monitoring and catching high stakes advantage players. They had agents all over the place and we played serious cat and mouse with them. Without griffin I would be stoopid rich
Fascinating stuff, thanks for answering!

Covid has been rough. I was in Denver for a wedding late March and had to cancel my trip back to Asia. I've been trapped at home since then, and while 35 and living with my parents for 2 years was not what I had in mind, it's probably been for the best. It was an awful year for my family so I'm glad I was in the states to help.
Don: I have officially moved to playing poker just for fun (although still a major source of income) and have been able to start contract work building apps, thanks again for the resources you sent me.
I hope everyone is doing well.
