With a string of robberies and an unsolved murder in our midst, here and now, in present time, in reality, it isn’t entertaining or charming for you to wax stupid about your fantasy version of the poker world of the old West; it is just more of your masterbatory drivel, and it is dismissive and disrespectful to all the real people living through it.

Tony G and John Caldwell are primary suspects.

These guys need to be locked up and found asap.

douchebag

OJ?

“the short poker bandit (5′6″) masked in a faintly similar Scream Halloween mask”

“Carlton” from Fresh Prince?

Hey, I just cracked the case

I was also robbed in Main Event over a year ago.

Same two black guys I am most definitely sure as well.

My friend who was also robbed at Main Event was robbed at the Ashton and also confirmed same two black guys.

Its a shame that we no longer can feel safe playing cards amongst friends.

tall black male, orange ski-mask, and a shotgun … similar to a robbery in May 2007: http://pokerati.com/2007/05/18/re-and-a-robbery-at-a-poker-room . Am trying to remember which room that one was.

On a lighter and goofy side, must have been a hella party with 30 poker players, “birthday party”…nice, I won’t tell the popo…lol.

As one of the thirty victims of the Cedar Hill robbery, I would like to clarify that the “Poker Bandits” got away with less than 5,000. Yes, in fact, we were having a surprise birthday party – - and perhaps that one element alone had saved us. Rather than having our private game with under 15, we had over thirty people — which threw off the bandits since they were unable to control all of us.

Well, the robbery had occurred approximately 3:30am. The two bandits had jumped over the gate from the backyard and entered through the backdoor (which was unlocked for smokers to come in and out of the house to the patio). The tall poker bandit (6’2″, definitely African American) in orange/reddish mask had his shotgun directly pointing towards the folks at the first table. Quickly ensued, the short poker bandit (5’6″) masked in a faintly similar Scream Halloween mask had his small pistol pointed towards the second table.

Both bandits demanded their respective tables to empty their pockets and to throw their valuables on the poker tables. After having collected our goods, the short poker bandit had pointed his gun to the owner of the house and demanded the rest of the money.

** I only bring attention upon this fact to note that this was an inside job. These bandits had planned and were informed of our exact location, entries and exits, best time frames to rob us, and who the owner actually was. I have no doubt that these two bandits are merely the muscle (rather clumsy, incompetent morons) behind the mastermind who has orchestrated the seven notorious underground d-town robberies in the last 18 months.

I was initially reluctant to post this blog but thought that it would be important to do so in order to open up the dialogue about these robberies. Every bit of detail necessary to perform these aggravated events had to have originated from either a player, dealer, or friend of these underground rooms. This robbery was unique – in that it is a private home game via invite only. We are distraught, angry, and feel so utterly betrayed by those would put us in such a predicament.

If any of you have any pertinent, legitimate, reliable information on the identity of these bandits or who may be the traitorous mastermind, please email us at cedarvictimsofpkrbandits@gmail.com.

The story ends with the bandits running off with under 5,000. A few of our friends were able to get away and call the police whilst the robbery. They arrived only minutes after the bandits left.
