Maybe you should think twice before you write your next personal check,

Seems like everything nowadays is a scam.

If you are considering playing poker for a living, this is what you are dealing with when you play poker for high stakes.

I love the part where they put a "special" deck into the game........also it seems that there are decks imported from China that are marked and you can see the actual cards being held by all the players, and are all but impossible to be detected.........probably you need special contact lenses to see the cards.

 If you are carrying alot of cash in the USA to play poker, baccarat etc etc ...these articles may be of interest to you ( I'm not sure what the laws are in other countries )

A good  idea is to buy some Travelers checks and/or money orders and hide them in your shoes if you are planning on taking a long car or train ride to a casino or somewhere else.

Well if the article is trustworthy and there were no crooked dealers involved, then it appears there may be some type of mechanical method to beat the game if you can test it over a large sample size..

However, just like many slot machine and baccarat cheats in las vegas, instead of being satisfied with small consistent winnings, they got greedy and played too long in one casino and played for too high stakes.

Looks like me and king fu read the same articles all the time.

I do not understand how anyone can "invest" in bitcoin, crypto...etc etc which is totally unregulated and it seems that every week there is a story where someone rips off tens of millions of dollars ...but it seems that the SEC may eventually authorize a crypto ETF where you can trade it just like a stock in a regulated market......I think that would attract a lot of traders since it would be regulated and you can be sure you can get your money out at any time.

If you use your players card, the casino can tell if something not right is going on.

Online Casinos / Important Quiz for all gamblers
November 09, 2023, 12:30:11 AM
This is a little off-topic but since this is an election year in the USA, I thought this quiz may be of interest

The American Psychiatric Association lists 10 Personality Disorders which can develop into severe and dangerous mental illness.

The link below describes one of these 10 mental health illnesses.

The quiz is for you to pick one of the 3 individuals listed below whom you think best describes this illness. If you can not choose one of the three listed below, then post the person  you think qualifies in this thread.

a. Mother Teresa (1910-1997)
b. Abrahm Lincoln (1809-1865)
c, Saint Francis of Assisi (1181-1226)

d, If none of the three are your choice, then post the person of your choice in this thread.

Your choice can be a person living or deceased.

Only citizens of the USA can participate in the quiz,

To "make a living" playing poker and being able to pay your monthly bills as well as having to be a profitable player in the long run, you have to play at relatively high stakes ......and unfortunately the higher up you go in stakes, the higher the probability you will be cheated in the live games.

Also, for you to succeed in poker in the long run, you have to be more experienced and better "poker educated " and be a higher skill level than at least 6 or 7 players at your table of 10 players..

If just about 8 0r 9 players at the table are at the same or higher skill level than you, then you will be guaranteed to lose in the long run to the better players and the casino rake which is taken out for each pot.

Numerous poker simulations in which you can adjust the skill level of the players so that all the players have the same high skill level have shown that everyone will lose in the long run as the money just flows around the table and the casino rake ends up with all the money,

Today, most players are better educated in the game, there are numerous courses, books, poker schools, poker coaches etc etc etc where a bad poker player can become a reasonably  good average player.........and not a fish.

That's why most professional players will not play at a table if they recognize most of the players at the table are at his skill and experience level. It's just a waste of time and money.....so now they will only play at tables with bad players........"bum hunting" as they call it.

Playing poker for a living is about the same as playing blackjack for a living where a 
 21 now plays 6 to 5 instead of 3 to 2 or playing roulette which now has in some casinos a 000 in addition to a 00 and a 0.......casino advantage about 8 %.

If you think you can make a living playing poker, my advice is to listen to your mother and become a dentist or an accountant.

General Discussion / bank account cancelled
November 05, 2023, 05:46:37 PM
Here is some info as to some people having their bank accounts cancelled for seemingly unfair reasons.

https://news.yahoo.com/why-banks-suddenly-closing-down-155511987.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall

Also be careful if you carry large amounts of cash travelling to or from a casino if you play poker, baccarat,   sports betting etc etc etc    and you get stopped by police for speeding in a car or are in an airport ....it is possible the police can confiscate all your cash and, hiring a lawyer may cost more than  the cash you lost.
