The Adventures of MDawg II
Quote: MDawgOne thing I’ve seen which is curious is how poker players win a big pot and then bring it all to place on one hand of Baccarat. I didn’t even realize they were poker players figured they were shot takers who simply wanted to take a shot which - they are - but the funds come from poker.

Many of the pro poker players that I knew had lots of gambling leaks because they are gamblers. Even if they are good poker players many tend to be stupid gamblers.
I don't know if I just made a mistake/fopax in my wording/thinking or I was trying to catch him to see what he said.Quote: MDawgAs far as D.Oz that APPEARS to be (hard to follow, jumbled) a dicto simpliciter a posteriori argument of “because I assume they must have recorded over > $10K in coin in and didn’t ask for SSN, they must be flouting the federal AML regs.” But the law and DRich’s inside account gainsay everything the D.Oz is claiming.
As for A.Wolf maybe they didn’t like his looks who knows why and decided to taunt him to his face about getting a CTR. Maybe they secretly filed a SAR on him too. Or maybe he asked about or mentioned something to the effect of whether or not he was getting reported and they confirmed it. If this happened more than two days ago I choose to question whether the Wolf’s recollection of it is accurate. If you have a full recording of the entire event not just the part where you asked the employees their names that might settle it but why would anyone record such an event from the getgo, probably only towards the end.
So are you now saying that you did in fact ask S.Roy seriously to show you a CTR or are you reverting to the story of you were not serious in asking him for a CTR.

Regardless of that separate issue...
The fact is, I sent Mike proof the day of within hours (Did you ask him about it, would you like me to give him permission to discuss it?)
As to why anyone would record such a thing? As an AP and past experience, I'm ready at any moment to record such things with my cell phone. I anticipated there could be an issue given the situation with the amount of money I was dealing with that day.

Well they are just picking a hand on which to bet at random, so, that is different assumedly from whatever they did to win that pot.

That's not as bad as it sounds. For a 1.06% of one big pot vig to the house, he now has some status at that casino that you won't get as a pure poker player.
If he bet 10% of his pot until he either doubled it or lost it all, he would look like less of a gambler but lose more.
once the win is verified, a check will be issued, and the check will be marked "verified chip win" or similar verbiage. And will not be reported anywhere, because it is a check not cash, out.
Casino cages will not issue a nickel's worth of checks for chips other than for a verified win, or return of other than cash front money (wired in, cashier's check, etc.). For a credit player like me, all checks that have ever been issued to me were for verified wins only. That's a simple concept, but who at this forum other than MDawg even has a credit line at a Vegas casino? or cashes out six or even seven figure wins regularly? I think that's part of why these simple realities are not understood.
Quote: MDawgNo U.S. casino (anywhere) has a policy to flaunt CTR regulations notwithstanding D.Oz's repetitive blether, but when cashing out this much (or more)
There have been casinos in Las Vegas that would hand a out sheet explaining the FINCEN rules when questioned about it. For example, if a customer refuses to give their ID when cashing out some casinos would hand them a "summary" of the regulations explaining that they would not cash out their chips until it was provided.
On the other hand you also see people all the time justifying why they called against aces or kings or whatever and ended up winning, with hands like king 2, queen 4, seven four, nine seven etc. when they are suited. "But it was suited."
But Jack 4 off, who even plays with that unless it's on a blind with no raises.
I guess she does.
Quote: MDawgIf you play even some at these Vegas poker rooms you will see people call big pre-flop raises with Jack 4 off. This of course was the hand that got Robbi Lew in trouble against Adelstein.

Obviously a very unconventional move betting $22k to steal $1k. Still a much better move than calling all in pre-flop with J4.
What's cool though is you figure out pretty quickly WHO calls with almost everything, who bluffs, who doesn't, pretty soon. Most of these players play the same way consistently.
Sometimes there's a guy who bluffs only occasionally then comes back with something, but, usually has some kind of tell.
The club had figured out during Mike's absence that KGB munched the Oreos whenever he had a good hand, and now Mike had to go and spoil the advantage for everyone. 😅
