$\begingroup$ Something is wrong in your anecdote, poker isn't played against the house it's played against other punters, the house doesn't get involved (presumably unless there's foul play). $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ @Separatrix Something is wrong with you assuming he was playing poker. $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ So why mention that he was a poker pro without saying what he was playing, which is significantly more important to the story. You're leading me to assume he was playing poker. $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ @Separatrix If I said a famous actor beat the house would you assume they were acting. He is known as a poker pro. $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ There's no implication of what an actor would be playing, fine he wasn't playing poker, what was he playing? Your anecdote is still lacking, give it a source at least. $\endgroup$
