I have a safe deposit box at a local bank that I keep the cash portion of my bankroll in. This is fine, except that I don't have 24hr access to my box, and I would really like to keep as little cash on me as possible.
I mostly play at the Bay 101, and I've tried to get a box there, but they are all in use and they have a waiting list. Also, they don't seem to have a player's bank or anything like that, so I feel like I have no options to just keep my money there. This really bugs me, because they seem to be the only casino I know of that is true for, and they spread the largest limit hold 'em games in the Bay Area. I mostly feel okay about this at the levels I currently play at, but when I eventually decide to move up, the idea of booking a big win at say 100-200, where I would occasionally end up with 20k on me or something, and not having a place to deposit this money safely late at night bothers me. Does anyone have any suggestions? |

I've never heard of a casino that doesn't offer front money accounts. At the very least, they should be able to "hold money for safekeeping" if you feel uncomfortable with the amount of paper you have on you. But seriously, a room that spreads 1-2 without players accounts? I'd talk to the cardroom manager, maybe whoever you talked to misunderstood your concerns.

most players get some big denomination chips and carry those. that makes it easy. if you play high you will end up with a box. it may be over on the other side though no big deal.
the place is pretty safe so carrying some cash isnt that big an issue. the laws in san jose are funny and precludes them from doing alot of regular casino things, like accounts and even buying you some food. it all falls under promoting gambling. |

I do generally carry chips, I see how that helps a little, but someone can just steal the chips. Though they have to go to the casino and cash them and that makes it more inconvienent.
I didn't realize they have more boxes on the other side, I'll have to ask at the main cage. I feel like the place is fairly safe too. I just like to take all the precautions I can. |

The boxes are theoretically "full" on the other side, but you can get one if you talk to a lead floor to go over there and hook you up. This shouldn't be a problem if you are a regular. Toke the cashier a few bucks for hooking you up. The lead floor cannot take tokes in San Jose.

How tough is it to play underage at Bay 101? I'm going back home to the Bay Area for the summer and I'm 20 for a few more months and I really want to get some live play in.
