10K is a rubber band job. If you don't feel comfortable carrying that kind of money around, then poker isn't the thing for you.

If you are paranoid, though, then there are choices. Don't use the in-room safes for anything. I don't think that you'll be able to get a poker room safe deposit box, since I'm sure they're all taken. If you can get one, go ahead.

The front desk of many hotels has a safe deposit box, as does the cage. If you want to get one, then fine. There's a minimal deposit but you get it back. 100 bucks I think. I did this at the Monte Carlo once and it was fine. It was a lot more than 10K, though.
