Sorry, I think you are all smoking crack, teenagers don't belong in Casinos.

They don't want to go to a casino, per se.
They want to go to a pool tournament.
The Junior derby event will be held at the Louisville Billiard Club. Once I get more info I will post here.
I played poker every day for three months at the Stardust hotel in Vegas when I was only 19. I made my expenses and had enough left over to visit the poolrooms and get fleeced for whatever I had left.
P.S. I went with $1,500 and came home with $1,500. The mob ran the Stardust and just about all of Vegas then. I could get free meals in the casino every day and was never asked for my ID. The mob guys liked me because I wasn't afraid to get in the games and gamble with the cheats. Hell, I didn't know any better. But I did know how to play Seven Card Stud and understood odds better than almost all of them.
Did they/would they allow teenagers at Johnston?
Jack Potter went their....might’ve been 14
An 18 year-old won the 9-ball once...can’t remember his name
It’s a shit hole!

That's cool, I am a noted poker player (Hold 'em of course not stud). Cheating at poker in a Casino? Wow, must have been wild. Obviously no automatic shufflers, but a set up (deck) change? An extra scramble? Or do you mean like Yellow lens glasses? ""Signaling" only works in the movies. Don't mean to hijack, I could talk about poker forever.

First of all in some casinos back then they used to pass the deal from player to player.
At the Stardust sometimes the dealers were in with one or more of the players, and then you had the guys who would hold out cards. I had to be on the lookout for everything, but if I knew when to play (and against who), and stay out of the cheats way I could actually make money. Let's just say it was a learning experience.
P.S. I stuck to the 2-4 and 3-6 games and stayed away from the 5-10 game, which was the big game back then. That was where more funny stuff went on.

I have never been there. The few reviews I had time to read were mixed.
Why do you say that?
My friend will be 6 months shy of his 21st birthday. He has been to the last 10 Derbies with his Dad.
It’s most unfortunate, as he plays pool full time, usually cashes and has been on and off the road for the last handful of years. This is obviously the biggest event for him of the year, as Pro Events he struggles to cash in.
He mentioned to me last night that he will probably be switching careers. Sad to see another Junior national champion becoming disillusioned with the game.
Just do what we used to do. Get a fake ID!
Just a tad dramatic, don't you think? He'll be 21 six days layer and this has him "disillusioned"? Really? If that's the case he might need to quit.My friend will be 6 months shy of his 21st birthday. He has been to the last 10 Derbies with his Dad.
