It also happened at The Aussie Millions in 2008 when I was there playing in the event.

Well in all fairness he was kinda asking for it, carrying his loot out in one of these bags:

Poker Pro with $500 to his name

Looks like that jts douche bag is keeping busy.

Crusherrr · 07-01-19, 08:10 PM

Problem is now others will report they get robbed to pocket investors funds.

Claimed they took $10,000 which was his main event entry. Why would he leave the RIO with the $10,000 in cash if it's purpose was for the main event? He could have already bought in before leaving.

Casino security is to protect themselves, not the patrons. Have heard that others were robbed as well this series. Not good.

Professional poker player is the silliest title of all times

"Vegas is pure trash"

"Poker player with $500 to his name"

"Professional poker player is the silliest title of all time"

Looks like ol' Happy Go Lucky JJ is once again doing his best to add positive substance to the forum.

And btw, professional poker player is not as silly a title as Saloon Moderator.

I am right on all points

lol pro poker players mean pro scammers and pro beggars

thetrinity · 07-02-19, 07:55 AM

Maybe carrying 5 figures cash in a backpack isn’t the brightest thing to do. Can’t they have like police escorts or something?

Guy is soft. He got robbed with a BB gun.

Joey Vigs · 07-03-19, 04:46 PM

The Rio is an absolute jungle. You’re on your own at a ghetto place like that

How so?

jjgold · 07-03-19, 04:54 PM

Rio not ghetto at all

Vigs you know nothing about Vegas

Ghetto maybe streets around stratosphere , Wild West even right near strip have to be on your toes but not a bad area

Silver Sevens so so, Jerry's Nugget be careful

Streets around Karen Ave be careful, Westgate so so

Boulder Highway East be careful,,Eastside Cannary area

Parts of Nellis area be careful

Downtown Vegas a few rough spots

Lettered streets tough, Parts of North Vegas rough

Vegas only small portion of rough areas unlike many other major Cities

And to think once upon a time 25 years ago the Rio was considered state of the art.

Auto Donk · 07-03-19, 05:00 PM

Then you should have asked for a security escort out the building.

How can you pay backers a % from your winnings, if you claim winnings were stolen?

Last time I was in Vegas the Rio was new and it was awesome. I think it was 1998.

JJ. Get this straight. You are NEVER right on all points. You are rarely right on any. Now cut the Bull S**t. You are wearing out your welcome in here loser.
