one year we hit vegas at chinese new year. my friend and I were going to the poker room and passed by the asian games pit. a old chinese guy was sitting there with two young hotties, playing paigow poker for about 5K a hand and sitting with about 90K in front of him. we passed by again and he was there with a larger stack. we passed by again and he was at the felt. and laughing it up, not giving a [censored] about it at all.

another time in reno, there was a middle eastern looking guy sitting at a private table near the escalators. he was playing big (not sure how big) and was flanked by some scary looking dudes. he got down to the felt, held a hand up to the dealer, whispered to scary looking guy #1 and sat back. SLG#1 pulled out a cell phone (this was way back in the day, so that was pretty impressive in and of itself) and called someone. a few minutes later, scary looking guy #3 and #4 come down the escalator and SLG#3 has a briefcase handcuffed to his wrist. he walks over to the table, the player opens the case, pulls out a thick wad of hundreds and starts playing again. SLG#3 and #4 turn around and go back up the escalator.

I'll have to remember that method the next time I'm broke at the table and need another $100 from the wife.
