Robbery at NYC club
 
There is a posting on Craigslist indicating that one of the NYC clubs was hit. Anybody there to confirm? Details.

These people need Party Poker accounts.

Bump. Why are there no details in this thread. Somebody here must play at Acepoint.

I haven't played at Ace Point in a couple of months, but I remember they used to have to buzz you in. I guess that method of security has some weaknesses.

Whoa.

Do we think this is true or not?

I have no idea, which is why I posted it. If it is true, then it is the first strongarm robbery Im aware of in NYC clubs. I cant believe that none of the NYC baby NL players here cant validate or refute this rumor.

I've played at Ace Point all summer, but haven't been there since last Wednesday nor have I talked with any of my friends who play there regularly, I will be making some calls right now though. This is pretty nuts.

There seem to be a lot of shill and reverse-shill posts on craigslist from the NYC poker rooms. I'd be surprised if this actually happened. Until I see another source I'm going to assume it's probably BS.

I think that news of a robbery would be bad for all NYC poker rooms, so if this was a shill post, it was pretty dumb.

FWIW I just called Ace Point and the guy on the phone assured me that this post was BS.

More importantly, any word on the legitimacy of this post?

"Bottom" set, anyone?

Brad you're a regular at that game, and you know it.

This screams bullshit. Craigslist loves racism.

There was a second post on Craigslist about it here . Not that it makes it anymore believable -- but anyway.

This rumor appears to be alive and well still on Craigslist. Here and and here. BDK3CLASH spoke with AP management who denies it happened. Craigslist smear campaign, or coverup by AP mgmt?

Re: Robbery at NYC club
 
This rumor was also running around at a NYC club I visited last night. I asked one of the managers at this particular club if he thought the rumor was true and he became very guarded and didn't want to discuss it at all. Curious..

hahahaahah

post two is great

"you genetic disaster"

I go to AP a lot. I was not there when it supposedly happened. However, I was there later that day (Friday). I spoke with an employee who said that about five masked men robbed the place at around 5PM. (I thought they weren't open at 5PM, but whatever.)

My roommate works with several people who claim to have been there when this happened, as well. I don't know many details, and, other than that one instance with the employee, I have heard no mention of this while at AP.

I like how it says an "African American" right at the front. Like if it was a white dude who did it it would say "some caucasian fellow..."

Re: Robbery at NYC club
 
we were talking about this last night and because the robbers didn't go for the players' rolls, players bought back and kept on playing.

Just stories though. . .

Re: Robbery at NYC club
 
I probably should just let this thread die, but a guy next to me tonight at another location confirmed that the robbery actually occurred... but I don't know this guy from a hole in the wall so he could be full of sheet.

easiest way to find out .look to see if their security arrangements have changed.if they have you have to be sceptical about any denials.
