Was curious if you guys have ever came across someone you suspected was laundering money through poker.
Yesterday, I sat at a table with 25BB like and left with exactly 750BB. At that table was a chap who constantly went all in and kept reloading after each beat. I made a fortune and I'm wondering if anyone has ever noticed this before. The guy was going all in with everything you name it from 7 2 - K 3. My friend was here at the time and it was him that told me about it.

Yeh, sorry. As our stack was getting bigger he then had the potential to recoup what he was giving away. There where guys there who started calling with anything wanting a piece of the action and got their heads cracked. After a few wins and a couple of callers he had pretty much what he paid out. I came out the only winner in this and its possible that I now have dirty money whilst he left with clean cash.

lol im confused as to what you mean by dirty money? the only thing i can assume you mean is he deposited with a dodgy credit card and the dumped chips to you whilst recouping them from other players? if this is the case then that has nothing to do with you unless there is something your not telling us? lol
If someone was laundering money through poker. The would not need to go All in or even play a hand with the money. The could send $1000 cash, western union to a poker site like pokerstars, play a $0.10 table, and play 4 hands, fold them all, then cash out to their moneybrokers, or visa. Money clean, no all ins.

i dont get your whole discusion, i might would understand it, if you would be talking about live-poker but how should it work by online poker... or can you have dirty-poker money?

Yeh true true. Just something my friend at mentioned last night when this maniac went all in about 25 times in a row. Surely not even a bad tilt would do that. I dont even care whether the doe was dirty or not i'm following this guy like a lost puppy now lol.

Sounds to me that he was just testing his luck or a huge donk !!
