last july i went to montreal to see family and while doing so i went to play in a live cash game outside the casino, downtown montreal (not with the indians).
Long story short... the cops came in and cleaned the house and arrested us all, took our money and let us go free. That poker house had been running for over 4 months. I lost my 127.50$ in chips + cash in my wallet - 20$, for a total of 327.50$. Which sucked because I really am not rich, but i could handle it and the cops told us we probably wouldnt have any more consequences.
Today, I recieved a letter letting me know I was summoned at the law court in early december.
I talked to my friend who talked to a lawyer, and apparently the *maximum* that i could recieve would be 6 months in jail or 5k$. I mean wtf i went there to play nl50 ready to lose a buyin or 2, not 100.
I'm probably going to end up having a fine of 100-1000 but i really have no idea on what to expect.
So yeah gg me

because the lottery laws in quebec are pretty harsh. Loto-Quebec has the monopoly and they want to keep it that way. |

get a decent lawyer, whatever you can afford, and i guess it's time to man up to the consequences. |

| Browsing through your hand histories makes me wonder that you might not be aware these games are possibly play money. Have you ever tried to cash out? - Kapol | |

i don't understand peoples sympathy. you played in a non-regulated/controlled zone.
of course the big-dog is gonna smash you if they get the chance.
they weren't getting their cut. same deal w/ USA slowly banning online poker/gambling. they aren't getting their cut, and they dont like it.
rake's a bitch, but someones gotta pay the machine.
in other words. fuck the machine |

Although I agree with Devon, I can empathize with OP. That just blows. |

I don't understand those who cannot possibly empathize with this guy. Yeah I get it, we are all poker players. So we know that the OP took a chance going into a game that's not regulated or whatever. But on a human level, what happened to him really sucks. You are a pretty douchebag to shove it in his face saying, "duh, you went to a game that wasn't legal so yeah you get what you deserve".
Dude, what happened to you seriously sucks. I hope you can crawl out of this all in one piece and be more careful in the future. |
