I was not involved, and the numbers may be off, but the story is still illustrative of what could happen.

I was railbirding a $200-$400 mixed game in The Bahamas during PCA in January 2011. Chino loses a few pots and is down to $1k. The 2-7 NL single-draw round is due in the rotation, which was played relatively low at $25-$50 and a $3k cap. Chino says, "I'm playing behind to cover the cap." No players objects (the game was 3- or 4-handed at this point).

Steve is dealt a pat-9 and beats Chino's pat 9 or 10. Chino relinquishes the chips he physically has in front of him and says, "I'm going to play behind if that's okay with you guys. Steve, I'll pay you back when I get the money from the safe in my room." Steve does not object, but Jesse, who is sitting directly to Steve's left, says, "No, that's not okay." Chino goes up to his room, and I think he may have flown the coop. To my mild surprise, he returns with a handful of bills and counts it down only to realize that it is short of the $2k that he owes Steve. Steve should have requested what he had there, but Chino disappeared for another 10 minutes and returned to repay the $2k and enough for a short-stack buy-in. In this story, no one ended up being owed anything, so Steve ran way above Chino equity.

I know Tony from Brooklyn who is in business of buying bad debts.. I can talk to him.. I think he may be interested in buying up some debts.... Don't worry about how he collects though.. He even collected some debts as far as 10 years back.. This guy is good...

He may get you .25cents on the dollar...

Well if you did you could add the fact that you and Bubba are going to have a cozy chat as to the reasons why you are going to be his neighbor for the next 48 hours

I don't think most ppl know subiime is Joseph Cheong. With Tom Dwan now confirming he got scammed too, I doubt he will be able to pull this off anymore.

Best case scenario is he is publicly embarrassed, gets staked by his buddy the grinder, wins, and pays back everyone. Goodluck.

Realistically, he scams people until he crosses someone that snaps and takes him out.

Never read the rules before but charder is 100% correct

lol great if this is true

stockmarket has been kind of fun

....and the streets of London too I guess if you're a low life scumbag

Please, people... your violent threats make me sick. You beating him up is doing him a favor and putting your way of life in jeopardy. Think of the children and don't loan money to these scummy degenerates.

sickest part of this thread is that i knew chino owed money to at least 4-5 people i knew well and i found out about 2 more of them in this thread for the first time.

my next lodden thinks is going to be "how many people does chino owe 10k+"

Well said. Violence is not be the best option but he might think twice before scamming someone else after receiving a couple baseball bat hits on the kneecaps.

3. Both

hi durrr... u owe me money! Pay up

I was just getting into poker when he final tabled the wsop. I cant believe i was ever a fan of this scum... I really didnt know any better. I saw him at commerce a couple of years ago in some 300 dollar buy in tourny lol

What is Chino's life leak that he's so broke?

Cash games? Pit games? Drugs? Women? All the above?

Unfortunately a lot of us men operate on a code that comes more from an inner sense of justice and - most likely - a lot of testosterone. Some other men do not have it, I guess.

It's hard to explain. But, say someone hits a woman in front of me. I would hit them, fully aware of the consequences and legality issues.

btw I don't think anyone is suggesting murder

I'd be embarrassed If I were you.

Srsly, ffs bro reach down and check to see if your testicles are still attached.

Check raised chino all in on a 1096 flop with JJ he showed me QQ and folded. I cashed in the event, feel like I owe him money

Sublime seems eminently practical and reasonable in his approach.

I do think, though, that one day Chino will stiff someone who is less practical... and he will end up on the receiving end of violence.

Look, first of all, this Chino guy wears his baseball caps like a scummy douchewaddle, so if it looks like a douchewaddle and acts like a douchewaddle, welllll, guess what?

I wouldn't say that it makes you a pathetic nerd, I'd say that it makes you a pathetic nerd, probably fat and pasty, with no balls

he didn't look fat and pasty on TV and they say TV makes people look fat

not quite....

Here's a suggestion: for those who are Chino's victims, next time you see him at a tournament registration line, wait for him to take out his money then just rip the money out of his hands. If he fights then you scream "you owe me $40K, the whole world knows about it, so im getting it back". If you see him in a cash game then just say nothing, walk up from behind and grab his chips/bills. So you are not doing anything violent to Chino, you're just getting your money back when you see that he has money on him. Simple as that.

Trust me the casino wont do anything. This has been covered in other threads but casinos see disputes between players as between players themselves and wont even do anything if Player A for eg. doesnt pay Player B after calling an all-in and loses.

LOL

OK obv not fat (probably skinnyfat though, if you aren't aware of that term then google it) but if I said skinny with a woman's hips, you'd get the idea I was conveying
