Sorry to hear that man but things work out in the end sometimes and hope it does for you and you find another one or similar one day that makes you as happy or happier. Regret letting stuff go sometimes too but in the end it works out IME.
Dude, did you drink in a bar when you were 14 ?I drank a couple beers underage once so I imagine underage gambling is possible too.
No, but I did drink in a few different bars when I was 18. Make friends with a couple bartenders and it wasn't all that difficult. Once they knew I was a musician it was pretty routine to get served...
I lived in Tahoe and worked at the Horizon casino for a while when I was under 21. It wasn't that difficult to hit slot machines underage especially if you dressed and carried yourself like an adult and kept a low profile. I also worked at a car wash nearby and sometimes got chips as tips and there was really only one way to use them. Caesar's was way more aggressive with enforcement in general than the other casinos IME. Security there were worse than the Stateline cops. who were some real pricks. To think that a determined kid couldn't get away with gambling in some of those places on a busy weekend is naive. Place was nuts....
We're not talking the 80's here when no one gave a shit. Kid is what; maybe his mid 30's at best? So we're looking at the mid 2000's. Casino security was not that lax.
It wasn't the 80's. Most of the casinos there had an arcade in them for the kids, so there are already younger people with a reason to be on the premises nvm families staying there on vacation. The only time anyone ever did anything about me being on a casino floor was when I was hanging out with some skaters at Caesars who were obviously underage and a few of them walked across the main gaming table area and were spotted on the cameras because they were dressed like teen skaters. We didn't get confronted till we were in the parking lot. Hardly ultra secure facilities there...
Okay, sure thing...
Seems like you are doubting the-kid cause you don't like him, and now doubting me cause I say his story is plausible? *shrugs
I get you like playing Mr. Contrarian, but pretending a casino; regardless of where or what it is, will let a 14 year old on the floor to play slots and enter a poker tournament is a but much even for you. Though as the saying goes; you do you.
Wrong. Having lived in a gambling town I don't doubt that it's entirely possible that a minor could enter a casino and play and win on the slots. Most casino security aren't the I.D demanding super soldiers you make them out as. They are there punching a clock like everyone else and don't give a crap at the end of the day about a minor hitting slots. I think your naivety with regard to it is driven by your hatred for the-kid, who seems to have taken up residency in your head lately.
Okay...
both great pieces of gear but obviously completely different uses and purposesThe biggest mistake I made with my gear was trading an amazing sounding JVM410HJS that I had for a powered Kemper.
Yeah Negreanu is really good for what it is too. Good stuff

Stu had 5 but he is tied for most World Series Main Event Bracelets at 3 with Johnny Moss and many say Stu is the true leader because Moss won the first one by Players vote so technically Stu won all 3 by winning the last hand in all three events.
Doyle Brunson and Johnny Chan are runner ups with 2 Main Event Bracelets and both won consecutive back to back World Series Main Event Bracelets and share that company with Stu "The-Kid" Ungar in regards to that record.

He's a monster player but even all those old head card sharks have been beaten in more recent WSOP events by relative unknowns.
Back then the events were smaller with way less players than now but one could say the quality of the players may have been better compared to now in some cases. There also weren't as many events. So I mean we ain't going to see another Chan or Doyle or Stu or Moss again probably ever.
