stereoman Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Re: Armed Robbery At The EPT Berlin - Chaos Ensues http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/8553943.stm Well if there's a plus side to this, it's that security will be raised across the poker tours although I don't know how much would be needed to stop something like this. :\ Feel miserable and sorry for anyone caught up on the receiving end of this.

swampster Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Re: Armed Robbery At The EPT Berlin - Chaos Ensues pretty appalling PR for PokerStars. The end of EPT events in GErmany ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadlydaveLDN Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Re: Armed Robbery At The EPT Berlin - Chaos Ensues pretty appalling PR for PokerStars. The end of EPT events in GErmany ? Doubt it, Germany potentially a huge market for Stars (already pretty big), they'll just improve security. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swampster Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Re: Armed Robbery At The EPT Berlin - Chaos Ensues a non-poker player was saying to me the other day "isnt poker really dodgy and there are people who'll nick your money?" and i said "nah, poker's all changed, you're talking about games that took place in dodgy backrrooms in the 60s". Oops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppie Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Re: Armed Robbery At The EPT Berlin - Chaos Ensues Casino is robbed = Poker is dodgy? House gets robbed = People who live in houses are dodgy?

Sir Puntalot Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Re: Armed Robbery At The EPT Berlin - Chaos Ensues Simple solution - don't hold real money at the events. If they want to make a big show of tipping a million dollars on the table when it goes heads up, make sure it's fake notes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swampster Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Re: Armed Robbery At The EPT Berlin - Chaos Ensues yep, a point was made that the buy-in method at some of the EPTs is archaic, to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they want to make a big show of tipping a million dollars on the table when it goes heads up' date=' make sure it's fake notes.[/quote'] Problem is, at least with Euro Currency and Berlin, that by law such fake money has to be at least double the original size or at best half the original size. Could look somewhat silly then, don't you think? :lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
