Several poker robberies have taken place over the past few weeks in various areas across the United States. Some of the robberies seem to be a case of wrong place, wrong time, while some seem to have insiders working the job. The latest robbery happened this past Monday night in Ohio during a home poker game.

Police in Cleveland, Ohio have reported that a home game was robbed this past Monday and $11,000 was stolen. The police report states that one player stepped outside to smoke and was met with a man holding a firearm. The gunman then went inside the residence and made the players take their pants off before he stole the money, I guess to keep the players from following him out the door.

Thankfully no one was hurt but it could have been a lot worse. Apparently those throwing the poker game decided to advertise on the internet which was not such a good idea. The robber gained the information via the internet and used that information to rob the players of their money.
