I had a very, very strange conversation (1 Viewer)

[Freeroll]

I plan on having a $0.25/$0.50 cash game this Saturday, and I just sent out the invitations.
I invited this player, who I would consider one of the tightest and brings one of the least amounts to many of my games (all of my games are $0.25/$0.50).
He called me shortly after I sent him the invite, and a very strange and concerning conversation took place.
He asked if I could help him get a much bigger game going (he knows that I sometimes play in some $1/$2 games with some players that play even higher than that). After I declined, he put someone else on the phone, that proceeded to tell me his plans to have a high stakes raked game with prostitutes and private bedrooms.

I am very curious to see how you guys would handle this.

To be clear, I made it clear that I was not interested. But should I not allow this player at my games anymore after this? I am leaning towards this option right now

Well. I wouldn't

if you are coming to a chip forum and 76 posts with this question. My instincts say it's a troll job.

It would probably be pretty profitable to play in a game like that - if people are showing up for girls, they might not be very good at cards - but I think I’d probably rather stay away.
As far as that guy goes, I guess it depends on how much you need players. I’d be more likely to keep him away because he’s not putting any money on the table than because he’s a creep. I mean, I’m pretty used to playing with creeps - tough to play much poker and avoid them.

Might as well go full degen:

Step1: Take a rake on the poker game.

Step 2: Take a rake on the time people spend in the rooms

Step 3: Instead of providing food and beverages, offer coke and meth for purchase.

Step 4: Profit

...plans to have a high stakes raked game with prostitutes and private bedrooms.

Expanded definition of bbj?

 

[Littleluck55]

If he gets this game set up, can you give him my info for an invite? I’m old and get tired really easy, I could use a private bedroom to take a nap.

 

[jpietrella]

Sounds like you should not include him in your game any longer but also give him my contact info for an invite.

 

[HaRDHouSeiNC]

I know the perfect video he can use to advertise

 

[Highli99]

It's a cop. Sounds like a classic sting. Ask him if he's a cop.

Did he say anything about bringing cocaine and/or single malt scotchs?

 

[Lemonzest]

Tell him you want to move toward supporting the LGBTQ community. You will only allow prosts if there is one of each. #diversity.

 

[LeLe]

I just going to say it did he get the idea from @Windwalker recent invite to a private game

This is more common that you may think. In the underground entertainment business one contractor either moonlights in other business or outsources for a commission.

 

[surfik]

Let him loose.
He might be a crock or just spineless. Would you feel comfortable with him around?

This idea of "free money" attracts all sorts of individuals you do not want to be around.

As always back story.
I used to play with a guy I considered "shady". I had reservations but someone assured me he used be regular in the club in times when the only game was 5 card draw, than he vanished for a few years.
I didn't introduced him to my inner group but started to play with him 3 handed with my buddy who's morals I perceive as the same as hungry coyote. Whe played with him when there was no other game around. It usually took us couple of hours to clean the guy out. No remorse no regrets.

One evening when played tournament in local casino he called us during the break to meet him. We had 30 minutes break and nothing to do. He picked the well known place close to meet us where two hotels and neighboring Street create sort of clubbing underground.
When we showed up he greet us and asked to look around and tell him what we can see (lots of drunken loud people). He than explained that this is his bussines idea. He will get place, girls and some blow and we will be "cleaning crew" at the poker table.

We never played that dude again.

Cop

In the USA-------- Totally a cop, and a friend turned informant due to legal circumstances working to set up former friends
In Canada--------- Just two guys that just smoked too much marijuana calling people with grand ideas

Well, that's the last time I have a private conversation with you! By the way, anyone have a house I can rent couple of nights a week with lots of bedrooms?
