Thanks, I was a little concerned how the new people might react to this situation. Your deposit is safe, and you will be refunded when you move out. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you.

Thank you for the kind words despite our current disagreement.

I also strongly believe Jake in saying that he tried to cut corners in regards to getting Andrew the best deal and therefore delaying it. As a fact, i was present when the first carpet cleaners showed up, and he negotiated them down from like $250 to $100 on your behalf (he also collected some coupons to get the best deal pre).
Also, in my numerous dealings with Jake i NEVER felt uncomfortable about him holding my money (btw, i always pay multiple months in advance and of course have a security deposit for my balcony room in place).

Thanks BB. I had forgotten I used a coupon. HAHA.

Probably, but maybe I will be surprised. I've never had a single room of carpet replaced before. My original guess was about $400.

Thanks mike28

No rooms available currently. I think we are booked through September. I will be offering any of the new arrivals the opportunity to leave the house if they feel uncomfortable with me after these posts. I don't think anyone is going to take that opportunity, but if they do there are a few others interested in a room as well. I will let everyone know.

I am going to try to make this my final post on the matter. With the exception of potential pictures and text conversations. I am currently withholding those because Andrew is threatening me with a lawsuit. I will be saving them for a potential court date.

The property manager has been called and the carpet damage is being assessed. I am currently on their timeline and at the mercy of their company of choice.

Andrew will be paid his deposit back minus all reasonable damages. There is a chance the damages exceed the $725, and I am wondering if Andrew is willing to pay me the extra he owes me if that happens. I do not expect this to be cheap. I expect Andrew's answer to be something along the lines of : There is no way it will cost that much. :



also sick brag about your reg-date.
I didn't brag about my reg date. You continue to misread information. I bragged about my length of service to poker players in this community. It's something I am proud of. I compared my length of service to your reg-date. Here is a brag about my reg date...My 2p2 registration date is actually 2/10/2004. You were 16 years old. The Jake is a profile I was instructed to make when I bought space in the inaugural Commercial marketplace. I haven't used my old profile since.

i even found a number for a carpet cleaner which i sent to you.

I have no record of this. I challenge you to provide proof you sent this to me. How did you send it? Text? facebook? email? mail? 2p2 pm?

I look forward to your response.

i was perfectly happy to spend some of my deposit on an EXPERT cleaner to remove the stain. since presumably my deposit was in the bank it wouldn't have been a big deal to withdraw some and pay the cleaner no?

A professional cleaner was hired. We have discussed this. This has been mentioned in previous posts. Why do you persist to ignore this fact and continue to suggest that a carpet cleaner was not used?

as per jake's request i have attempted to reach him over email since the last text message where he's made it clear that he isn't willing to communicate over text. seems he isn't willing to communicate over email either (i asked him via email about 24 hours ago for the landlord's contact information). so i'll ask via 2p2 if he could PM me it to me

I received an email on Fri, May 24, 2013 at 7:56 AM. I was busy responding to your 2p2 post and didnt see it till the evening after being up for 36+ hours straight. You continue to make false and exaggerated claims about how I am handling this. At the 16 hour mark, you claim it had been nearly 24 hours. I responded to your email on Sat, May 25, 2013 at 8:44 AM. That is almost 24 hours, and a perfectly reasonable response time.

since he also suggested i take him to court, i have contacted an attorney and need the landlord's information in order to pursue this matter. NV state law entitles me to up to 2x the security deposit if it is not paid back within 30 days.

I didn't suggest it, you threatened it. I welcomed it. I still welcome it. I am confident you will not win the case beyond getting what I am already offering. I know some of you disagree, but not all information has been shared on this thread, and I can not release that information until this potential lawsuit has been quashed. At best you will get money back minus the damages, which I am already willing to do without a lawsuit. I feel confident that any judge will see my actions as having acted in good faith, and not award you extra damages.

About these email conversations...

He has requested the property manager's contact information, and quoted NV state law.

Here is my response.

Some of his responses

To Andrew: Answer my challenge in this thread. It is only one example of you being less than 100% honest.

I'm asking you not to drag innocent people into this because of your problem with me. I am doing everything I can to fix this situation now. I thought this was settled begrudgingly months ago when I put the $300 into escrow.

I believe it is clear that I am currently fixing the problem I have just promised you exactly this.

i will be bumping this thread every few days with updates re: my deposit and legal action until the matter is settled.

I believe that this thread getting bumped for this purpose is becoming unreasonable. You have already made your concerns known. I welcome any feedback positive or negative, but keeping the thread going on every thing that happens is just drama. If you must post updates about the legal action, I suggest you talk to the moderators and find a more appropriate place. If they suggest you post here, then post here.

how does it take 16 hours to respond to an email with one question in it? (the contact info for the property manager/landlord)... which you refused to give since you say you don't have to. i followed your direction to contact you via email. you don't respond to it and instead post it and your response on 2p2. you are making yourself look really good...

this is mega-ironic considering you're the one pointing out how much younger i am than you. there is some saying about age and maturity forget how it goes though.

it's your fault not mine if other people are adversely affected by your mismanagement of my money.

i texted you the name of a cleaner but it's somewhere in your massive spazz of text message responses. obv you can't handle simple questions or requests and your reaction is to bug and spew series of extremely long texts/emails/spend 10hrs writing posts on 2p2.

to be 100% clear on the matter, jake was the one i suggested i contact an attorney and go to 2p2. i was fine settling this privately i only went here after jake's massive SMS bugout at me where he told me to post and to take him to court and the suggestion of another former tenant.

if the damages are >(the security deposit) you can come get them from me at the bellagio or venetian 5/10 nlhe and RIO 5/5 plo games. i will be playing fullring for partial rolls most of the summer. if going to the strip is too much of a schlep you want i'll give you my SNs and sites i play at and just sit at my tables

what if damages are zero? will you pay me the deposit + my hourly for making me deal with a bunch of BS that should've been settled months ago?

you realize that even if you are brad booth/unluckiest SOB alive/everyone in the thread vouches for this you/i win the WSOPME you still have to pay what is owed to me right?

Proof please. Prove you sent me a name and phone number of a cleaner to call. This should be easy. Texts are logged.

It didn't happen.

can't find. w/e. it's in my phone somewhere. if i didn't give the name of the cleaner i don't see why it matters though....i offered to pay for one out of my deposit and you refused. it literally takes five seconds to google a pro-cleaner. obv there is a big difference between paying a cleaner 100-200$ to clean the entire house and giving someone 200$ to fix one spot. if the 2nd pro cleaner can't remove the stain then it is deducted from my deposit...since i would assume my money is in the bank i don't see why you couldn't have just withdrawn it and paid the cleaner. obv this would be cheaper than replacing the entire carpet.

regardless you are only focusing on really minor details (how we communicated/whether or not i gave a phone number). ok, we did not communicate on facebook. this is not a grievous lie or anything. you are the one who wanted to make me wait 6 months for my deposit so you could deceive the property manager that is extremely serious.

you are imagining this is personal when really it's not.

from mid-march 2013 it's cropped i can include everything but it has names in it of people i'd rather not include. idk if jake has persecution complex or what. i just want my moneys.

since you've decided to make any correspondence we have public can you please explain how taking you or the property manager to court would affect anyone in the house?

We've got another room open now and another soon. Please pm me. i may be slow to respond, i will not be in a good service area till tuesday night.

Currently wrapping up my 2 month stay in the house. Highly recommend it. Great environment to play poker, guys are cool, and Jake made sure I had everything I needed.

I am back from vacation and have returned all PMs, Still one room open. Weather in Vegas is about the be the best of the year. Ultimate Poker has a good VIP program.

Im very interested. Broke up with my girlfriend and we still live together. I am obviously looking to move out as soon as possible.

I dont know how to pm i just joined this site. Im very interested.

wineworldmatt@gmail.com

Oh No... I am sorry about your recent abrupt life changes. I've been in that spot before...

We have an immediate opening. Would you like to come take a look tomorrow?

I have to pass at this time, but thank you.

I am interested if its still available. I am a MTT grinder, online and live, I also play cash. I live in LA currently but am looking to move to vegas.

Hey, if the room is still open would you rent for a week? My friend and I are coming in for the Silva Weidman rematch/ new years and trying to find a place to stay.

Will you guys have a room spare in December?

If I have missed anyone for PMs, please let me know. Still a room open.

Hey The Jake,

I might be interested. I am already in Vegas looking for a place. I am Worm311 on Ultimate poker

Hey Worm311. If you can not PM yet, do you want to email me?

Jake@stakejake.com

I've stayed at the house after Andrew moved out. I've actually stayed at that same room. Just wondered upon this thread because I'm looking to go somewhere again. I just want to say that after living at the house for 1.5 months I've never felt like Jake was trying to scam me or anything, in fact, quite the opposite. He was always helpful, straightforward and honest. I've got my security deposit back the day of my departure without any problems.

Max.

Max! We miss you around the house, and thanks for your kind words. There hasn't been a decent game of darts since you left. Have a good time with your next trip , wherever it may be.
