My history with Rob goes back further than anyone here, back to about 2005 or 6. Only Arci goes back further than that. I was the one that brought up the fact here on VCT that Rob announced his retirement from professional play in 2009. No one else here knew that or at least the time frame, except Rob. But for some reason he hadn't mentioned it. But more specifically I remember it was in mid 2009 and Rob said he had hit his win quota early that year so was retiring and would no longer be filing Schedule C as a professional gambler after 2009.
John Kane got busted at the Silverton in early July, 2009. That was mid 2009. The same time Rob announced his retirement. This is just a huge coincidence, right? It's this key piece of evidence that has me thinking Rob really did put this play down. So far everyone else has ignored this key piece of evidence. Perhaps someone here can explain why it was just a huge coincidence.
