i must admit that horse masked robber is quite an unusual act in a poker home game, but i guess a man masked horse would be even more entertaining. hope that no grannies and pot addicted degenerates were hurt in this incident. kids- don't be deterred from home games, this is just 1 in a million incident.
i bet there was a 3rd accomplice, sitting on the table with the robbed peeps. or they were that dumb and posted on facebook a pokergame is going at their house.

This must have been terrifying for the people there and i really hope that they catch the people responsible for this crime. This was a very big home game and they were playing for some big pots
it's quite funny))) maybe it was just somebody's joke, and soon everything turns out? and if it is serious then it is clear that this is what the novices and happen to know that in this house, and decided to play to earn easy money

I was quite surprised to notice that no one was smoking joint in the room. If I were there bit stoned (or mildly drunk), I would not probably take it seriously.

I quite like this story... Especially the Lin that they were not professional thieves. Does anyone really care whether these guys were professional or not, and would it have made it more acceptable had they been professional. I guess these amateur robbers are pretty happy with their haul.
