    Upset with the Wynn & question about Rio LV
    1) The last several years the Wynn has held $400 & $500 SURVIVOR tournaments every week during the summer. This year they have no survivor tournaments. I'm REALLY disappointed as I am planning on going to LV for the first time and wanted to play several survivors. For those who don't understand, survivors are generally 1 in 10 people win 10x the entry towards pool. So for $550, 1 in 10 people win $5000. Why would you prefer a survivor? No taxes if under $5000 net.

    If you net $5000+ you have to pay taxes and are given a W2, which is BS if you're not a professional. When I final tabled a 3 day $600 event, I was paid $11k. I had to pay the fed over $2000 of that and 5% to connecticut (happened at foxwoods). With 15-20% rake AND 25% to income taxes for top payouts, tournaments are stupid to play unless you truly are a professional gambler.

    ABSOLUTELY FUKKING IRATE AT THE WYNN.

    2) On a side note, does the Rio have facial recognition? Caesars properties on east coast do not and I want to play the juicy cash games at the WSOP.

      Caesars is too broke though. Likely means Las Vegas Sands and/or MGM properties obtained facial recognition which is widely known. Will not fuk with Bellagio or Aria in a million years. Sands and Wynn props I'm okay at.

      Still remember walking into the Beau in Biloxi, MS and them fukkers got me within 5 minutes. Had not even entered the casino, was walking in their strip mall store section. MGM no joke, luckily security did not want trouble and let me leave no issue (did not know Beau was owned by them at that time).

        Eagles when did you win that at foxwoods? My younger brother works in that department and you should have been well taken cared of if winning and paying tax on it. Foxwoods will more than make it up 2 you

          What do you mean? It is not their responsibility to handle peoples' taxes. Knowing I was a winner for the year in gambling I told them to withhold the 25%. The wonderful Connecticut additional state income tax sucked though, I think 5%.

          The final table was in late 2016. That was the year I won ~20k overall in 2/5 PLO cash games, so I did not want to risk audit claiming losses cause there definitely was more than 11k in poker winnings for me that year. However, I lost like 10-15k in 2017 after getting cocky and getting wrecked in variance at 5/10 PLO. It is wonderful you can not claim gambling losses in future years against previous winning years, more IRS BS.

            Agreed. Was talking to a guy who’s higher up at hard rock. For what it’s worth Told me Harrahs to be sold off in next 6-12 months from Caesars Entertainment

              Are you such a winner that they have you on Face-Rec and you can't gamble?

              Wow! What did you win at? and how often! Tell some stories about it!

                Age 21, 3 months in. Immature, $1500 pot, biggest pot ever for me so far, in game for $600, flopped set of 10s, got a dude to go all in with AK on KT3 rainbow. Turn K, River A. Very tilted after losing $300 first buyin set over set earlier in session, Went to 5/10 with 1k, all in with AA vs flush draw on flop, he hits. 3 bad beats in a day. I curse gambling forever, say fuk this I quit forever, irritationally go and ban myself for life from MD casinos.

                Not realizing I banned myself from all Caesars properties so I could never play in WSOP now. Was a regular at Borgota for years due to this once I matured until MGM national harbor opened. That pissed me off because if MGM national harbor had never opened I could still play at Borgota. The 2/5 PLO at Borgota I paid for a year of school with. I banned myself when only horseshoe and Maryland live were open so I was extra missed when MGM bought B and said sorry you can’t come to Borgota anymore

                Fast forward a year, friend received a trip offer to Biloxi, we had called said MGM national harbor opened am I okay to go, they said yes. I fly down there with him, they grab me say no, leave or face arrest. I have to spend $500 on a hotel and incur expenses. Successfully filed complaint with Maryland gaming division and won small claims case against MGM for $500 incurred costs + $500 punitive.

                So yeah, banned from MGM and Caesars properties. The worst is I’ll never be able to play in WSOP. All because I was immature and tilted, irrationally made that decision. Today, 4 years later, I don’t tilt, have matured 10x and would never do that again. Sucks immensely. I still go to Caesars non-MD properties since they don’t have facial recognition and I’ll just get thrown out first time caught, aka Harrahs & Bally’s AC.

                The positive is I generally now make gambling a fun traveling experience when I do. Such as visiting 7 countries last year, mainly in Europe.

                    Wynn is a great property.

                    Be careful with the servers in the sportsbook though. Those girls will try to over charge you for drinks and meals.

                      Let me get this str8. You lacked the discipline to just stay away, so you banned yourself for life?

                        I thought you were accused of moving a bet forward when you claimed you did not?

                          hmm........ you may need to speak with seeweed..... he's the only other dumbass I've heard of who "banned himself" from something (seeweed/sbr; you somehow banned yourself with mgm/caesars); and seeweed reconsidered, begged to come back, and even offered to post a photograph (now infamous) of himself if sbr would let him come back.....

                          it worked for seeweed, and he was able to un ban himself.....

                          I suggest you get one of these, for starters:











                          then, photograph yourself.... should turn out something like this:







                          Mail it to mgm/ceasers, and hope your photo/letter asking to be unbanned lands on someone's desk who is a lot like Shari at sbr.....

                          she'll tell you, "hey dumbass, you banned yourself, we didn't ban you, so you're welcome to come back -- and take off that stupid hood, you look like a fukin' idiot".....

                            Sigh...you got me. I had kept that story as happening in MD cause I still was able to go to Parx until recently. Did not want someone on here informed PA I was getting past the ban. It happened at Sugarhouse, flipped table, banned etc, thus why I am no longer able to play at Parx or other PA casinos.

                            I had been getting through security in PA past year despite looking young because I brought my passport which they did not scan. Recently, I tried going to Parx to play PLO but when I presented my passport they said hold on I have to go get a scanner for that. Ran out since I would've been arrested if they scanned it.

                            It really sucks. Self banned from MD, PA now banned for flipping table on a bogus forward motion call. Just want to play PLO. Now I basically can't cause no AC casino has PLO besides Borgota and can't play PA.

                              @autodonk

                              I've done a TON of research. Would offer $5000 to anyone who could get me back into Caesars properties (won't happen ever). Guy in a similar situation banned himself over a decade ago and Caesars won't budge, despite him showing winnings on tax returns past 3 years in gambling.

                              Dumb, irrational decision. We live one life, why is that "ban for life" even a fukking option.

                              The ONLY way I can get around is fake ID (won't do), find someone who looks like me and get a copy of their ID + SSN (ha yeah okay good luck finding someone) OR changing my name (which still cannot get jackpots since your SSN will be the same).

                                    To be honest, the thrill of getting into casinos I should not be in is fun. However unemployed definitely not trying to get arrested in MD, the state I live in and just overall so I’ve followed the bans lately. Not hard getting in though with a passport, as they don’t scan those.

                                    It has been fun being chased out twice, successfully getting away both times...had to hop a wire fence that had fallen somewhat down to get away from the Hollywood casino security though. Cut a hole and ruined my favorite of jeans. ALWAYS watch pitbosses, even poker managers with those little black phones...if you count, ESPECIALLY do so.

                                    If you visit a casino for several days and every time they ask to see ID, then you refuse/decline players card, eventually the eye in sky will zoom in on your ID and search your name too...

                                    As you can see...ride motorcycle, public sex / risky kinks, entering casinos I’m banned from...my addiction is adrenaline. It’ll catch up to me one of these days...

                                      Terrific stuff dude! I hardly even gamble unless it is football season, because I hate losing so much! LOL

                                      I'd never have to worry about going into a casino, they'd never know who I am! Because I never go!

                                      There ain't even any casinos n my state!

                                      I wish I could "ban" myself from all online sportsbooks and casinos though!
                                      I'm "blacklisted" from a few online Sportsbooks, but you can always find one that will take your money!
                                      Hell nitrogen is anonymous! They don't even have a blacklist!
                                      I'm blacklisted by a few S-books mainly because I've been cheated by them so much that I try to find every possible way to cheat them back when I can! (I got cheated out of $2 grand last football season and didn't find a way to get any of it back!) And you know how the story goes, THEY can cheat you over and over, but if you figure out how to get them back, then they blacklist you! LOL All the stories on here about how they cheat the fuk out of people, I wish I could figure out a way to "scam" their asses out of a million dollars and then hold it in escrow and pay it to all the people that they cheat the shit out of!
                                      I hope I NEVER send another dime overseas and then sit here and "hope" they don't cheat me if I win!
                                      I'ts freakin stupid to "trust" a bunch of strangers with your money who are thousands of miles away!


                                      But anyway, I'd like to party with you!

                                        without commenting on the specific intent of joe's final line out there (I don't want joe to feel the need to type up seven pages in response), I will simply repeat the advice often given by our mascot, JJ Possumboy Tiny Gold, about partying with posters: he says don't ever meet them.......

                                        and we all know why, given what happened to Tiny "Fresh Bottom" Gold at the end of that fateful night:







                                        to hear Possumboy Tiny himself speak of it, he said he couldn't sit down for two straight weeks........
