Default I\'m drunk, don\'t hold this post against me . . .

I tell you what pisses me off. How the hell can I be expected to travel and play serious poker if I have to carry fricken $100 bills. Why cant this stinkin government come out with $1000 bills so I can go on the road with 30k and not look like a retard with my shorts being pulled down with 300 $100 bills. Last time I left Vegas, I looked like a disheveled moron trying to get out of town like I just robbed a convenience store and have a bunch of Ho-Hos in my pocket.

Pisses me off.

dude. FUCKYEA!!!

i hated that trip from vegas...but was thankfully ok w/ it and not nervous due to a friend in vegas informing me that the 10k cash limit only matters so much on international travel.

but still, having a bunch of cash, hundreds of bills sucks donkey balls...

unfortunately, the US governmnet would much rather make large amounts of cash hard to transfer inconspicuously to deter high crime and terrorism funding than appease crotchety gamblers.

so i say this to you with a heavy heart, and heavy pockets...

This would be a great first line to any novel.

Is $100 really the biggest in use in USA? I have never been there so I really dont know, but in europe they use 500€ bills which is something like $650.

I used to have to carry huge amounts of cash on planes years ago when I played blackjack all over the place - can't imagine even trying to do that now post 911.

I set up a line of credit at Bellagio to avoid this problem when I went a few weeks ago. It was surprisingly easy to do (although there were a couple of minor hassles). I'd recommend it to anyone heading out there rather than carrying thousands of dollars cash...
