Hi all fellow mobsters,
I played a bit at a live casino BJ, and got away with €10000 profit. Since i got that lucky, and i wanted to play once a big buyin event at pokerstars it seems the perfect oppurtunity to do it this time,.
Which mobsters will follow me playing TCOOP 2013 main event?

Can't say I'll follow you, I'm not much of a railtard. Good luck though, how much is the TCOOP ME entry anyway?
Also, grats on winning €10K - that is a very impressive win, try not to give it all back.. I used to win silly amount back when I gambled too much (casino and pokies) and I normally gave it all back within 24-48hrs like a fool, so hope you know better than I did! Although, winning €10K on roulette does beg the question how to you get to that point? How much did you continue betting? Winning that on roulette sounds nice, but since the biggest single payout is only 35:1 on the wheel, it suggests that assuming you started with less than €1K, then you continued betting well after you won a decent amount..

G'day mate
If you do decide to play in the TCOOP main event I will rail you if you like. You will need to inform me what your PStars name is of course. I have been thinking about playing the Sunday Million.

tcoop is a nice event...and i think you simply can't play all of em...
maybe just the main event...but as a fellow dutchman i advise you ..to skipp this years tcoop
use that bankroll for lower field tournaments...with high buy-inns..
like the 109 or 162$ ,,,small field ,huge prizes...
if you do ok there...you won't have to go to the casino anymore ...just play poker
trust me casino's stink....here's someone with experience talking...
at the age of 22 i used to go casino's daily and also win 2000 Dutch guilders on a daily base ,untill
i saw some dude win 70K in 3 turns on roulette..
i thought ,wauwie ,,i want that too....so what happened???
i lost every single day ever since...cause i got too greedy ,wanna win more and more ..thinking i'd be a millionaire at end of that year..
cost me over 150K Dutch guilders...compare it with 150k $$$$ nowadays..
yes i know ,, i blew it then..don't go to casino's anymore and won't play a single dime in such place...
talking about rigged... live casino's mostly are...
1rst they check who you are ,and how much you got on your bank...i mean they evaluate what kind of player you are... then one day ..if you attack them ..they do all they can to make you bankrupt..
and yes, even the holland casino's do that..(government casino's in holland, they got monopoly on gambling in holland)

Actually i played only blackjack and started with €500, did 2 hands of 250 , and got both of them BJ, so that was a rocket start, since then i kept winning and winning. Blackjack has low house edge, roullete doesnt so yeah..

lmao no idea why I changed blackjack to roulette in my head, you clearly said BJ!
But my point remains valid with blackjack - you obviously won say a few thousand euro, then continued to gamble with it, rather than quitting at say 2k or 5k or whatever, not having a go at you, I do the same, just saying it means you got a bit of gamble in you, so be careful.
Roulette house edge is actually pretty low too, assuming you play a single 0 board.

to be honest if you don't know basic strategy when playing blackjack- then roulette definitely will have lower house edge (single 0 roulette only). blackjack can be played at practically no house edge if you know basic strategy and the basic system of card counting...and have a large enough roll to sustain the swings of the game...but if you just want to enjoy your time in a casino stick with roulette- drunk or not- house edge will not change here
