Why mention cheating in casino poker rooms and then not elaborating, also why did you not mention Brown has been a guest on your podcast?
Maverick, you admitted that you were underage and sneaking into the casino to play poker. When you were winning in those early days did you think you were cheating the other poker players knowing you weren’t supposed to be playing poker in the casino?
Did you think you had an unnatural edge or advantage by having the female friend who was gaslighting “Omar” by feeding you the information on his whereabouts? It sounds like a crude form of advantage team play that gets me thinking about the movie “Casino” when Santoro is getting tipped off that high rollers are away from their homes so Nicky’s goons could rob their houses. If that female friend had not tipped you off on “Omar’s” whereabouts would you be where you are today? Perhaps you should tell Omar what really happened and offer him a chance to win that $150K back, by challenging him at a head’s up poker game. That would be the honorable thing to do.
When you hit that bad beat jackpot for $12K did you have to produce ID or file a W-2G? We’re you 21 by that time?
“No Home Jerome”, AKA Phil Ivey did the same thing with a fake ID sneaking into A.C. casinos.
