Re: Robbery at NYC card club, player dead.
 

this is really sad. a life for a couple of grand... I hope those pathetic guys who did this gets placed behind bars for a long time.

Re: Robbery at NYC card club, player dead.
 

I like how while this is a huge argument in favor of legalizing poker to make it so people didnt have to go underground. However I'm sure it will be spun as "look what poker makes people do". Argh imo. Horrible about the guy who died imo.

i have played in nearly every underground card club in the city over the past 4 years. i am well known player/donator. i have been in club robberies and have had a gun held to my head...but i've never heard of the trigger being pulled in one of these robberies. this is absolutely tragic.

Re: Robbery at NYC card club, player dead.
 

understood but no one knows me or my motivation for asking so to blindly question my character seemed uncalled for...a polite denial of my request would have done just fine

I don't think you asking "who is it" was inappropriate, but I guess I'm in the minority.

Deaths usually draw out TONS of emotions (people thinking of their own mortality, families etc.) so I wouldn't take it personally.

I wish the best for the family, and pray these criminals are caught and put behind bars before they can do this again.

This will cut down on the number of internet nerds venturing out of their homes for some live poker.

Re: Robbery at NYC card club, player dead.
 

I think I knew the victim, although casually. He was a super nice guy who I last met in July at one of the clubs subsequently shut down. If its the same guy I am thinking of, he had played at the old Mayfair Club and at the Playstation although not frequently. The first name mentioned in the article matches this gentlemens name. The only thing that threw me is his age. One story said he was in his 40's or 47. The other said he was 55. I dont think the fellow I knew was 55, He looked like he was in his 40's. I hope this person is not the guy I knew.

That would really bother me.

trigger was pulled 1.5-2 years ago at an Italian joint but nobody was shot. They had uzzis in that robbery, the thought was that the robbers were Albanian which is odd because there have been no other descriptions of bandits that match people of Albanian heritage. Although nobody was shot in that robbery people were pistol whipped.

RIP Frank.

your description matches Frank (assuming its the same Frank that I was told it is), except Frank looks 50ish to me. I used to play 4/8 with him in '04 at Playstation.

Similar thing happened here in Vancouver where the loan sharks decided time to get some of the loot back and 3 lives where lost over around $40k.

Re: Robbery at NYC card club, player dead.
 

wow, this removes any/all thoughts I had of ever playing in a NYC room again.

sorry to hear this.

Re: Robbery at NYC card club, player dead.
 

Let me say this.

I knew Frank for about 3-4 years from the NJ/NYC poker scene. Couldn't ever find anyone who had a bad word to say about the guy. Frank and I would always talk the Yankees. Nicest guy, its a shame and hope these guys get caught. I'd love to bee there when they get arrested.

God Bless Frank. RIP
