For five years, I was systematically sidelined from the highest stakes at Texas Card House (TCH). Management called it “policy,” but a forensic look at the timeline suggests a deeper motive. In a business where “Economic Benefit” is the primary driver, a professional observer who takes notes is a liability. I wasn’t just a threat to their stacks; I was a threat to the secrecy of the game.
I. Forensic Patterns: The High-Stakes Barrier
Based on my years as a dealer and player, I identified significant financial anomalies that require public scrutiny.
- The Membership Discrepancy: TCH has claimed a membership base in the tens of thousands. However, my physical observations of foot traffic and seat rentals over half a decade do not align with these figures. This raises a fundamental question: Is there a “paper trail” of manufactured members being used to disguise the true source of incoming funds?
- The “Wash” Theory: High-stakes poker is the historically preferred vehicle for “layering” funds. By keeping an expert observer out of these games, management ensured that the patterns of play remained unmonitored.
II. Observations on Professional Conduct: The March 1, 2022 Session
I have long-standing questions regarding the professional conduct of Victor Leone. On March 1, 2022, in a session witnessed by Leon Soong and Nick Dezago, I experienced a series of statistical anomalies that mirror patterns I later saw in clubs that were raided and shut down for cheating (e.g., Watauga Social Club).
- The Anomaly: In a single hour, I held Pocket Aces twice in all-in pots against Victor. Both times, Victor pushed the action with hands that no thinking player would bet on—and both times, he won.
- The Etiquette Breach: Immediately following these wins, Victor committed a “Hit and Run,” leaving the table without giving me a chance to win back my funds. This is a practice TCH’s own commentators have condemned as a violation of professional poker etiquette.
III. The Settlement Proposal: Settling it on the Felt
This website is hosted in Iceland, a global sanctuary for free speech and whistleblower protection under the Icelandic Modern Media Initiative (IMMI). It will remain live as a public ledger of corporate conduct until I am satisfied that the truth has been fully aired. If you disagree with the validity of anything, I welcome you to submit a comment and evidence to the contrary. I will review it and update as needed.
However, I am offering a path to resolution. I am challenging the “guards” of the Administrative Rat King to a series of Heads-Up, No-Limit Texas Hold’em matches to settle our professional and personal grievances where they belong: on the poker table.
- The Challenge: A $10,000 buy-in, one-on-one match against Victor Leone, Leon Soong, Nick Dezago, Mike Williams, Jae Chung, Anthony Villedas, Tom Kestner, and Ryan Crow.
- The Goal: To prove, once and for all, whether their success was based on merit or the manipulation of the “Golden Cage.”
If these matches are granted and played to their conclusion, I will take this section of the site down and consider our “indeterminate causes” resolved. Until then, the sun stays up.
