I was considering getting a room at the Sutton Place Hotel this weekend to begin my SP hobbying :D. I just wanted some input on the hotel itself and would there be a problem for the SP's getting in and out of the hotel? Thanks in advance for your help!
 
I use to work there during my college days and know it inside out.
Tell her to park in the underground garage and take the service elevator.
Or enter through the side door on Wellesley Street to said elevator.

The building is not all hotel, the lower half of it is condo.
 
check out your SP first to make sure she may be worth the cost. Especially because you are just starting out. Save where you can at this moment.
 
Thanks guys. The only reason I wanted to spend the extra cash and get a room at the Sutton place is because I think if I do this I want to do it right and enjoy the experience in general.

Anon,

One quick question. At the moment the only credit card I have is one that I use for work and I don't want to use it when booking a room. Could I put a few grand on one of those pre-paid credit cards that you get from money mart and use that when booking a room or leave a cash deposit?

Also, I'd appreciate it if you guys could give me a few tips for starting out this hobby. I'm trying to put aside 5K per month on this hobby, including hotel costs. And so far the only agency I really liked is Cupids because they seem very professional and the women are good looking as well.

Feel free to post on here or if you want shoot me a pm. Thanks guys.
 
Thank you for both your replies. Sorry since I'm new I guess I should give some kind of intro and state what I'm looking for exactly.

I live in Toronto but I travel a lot for work, I play poker professionally and also bet on sports professionally. And the main reason I wanted to start this hobby is because unfortunately because of my work (I go to school as well) I don't get the chance to really go out much and this hobby is more to relax and believe it or not meet people and be able to have a conversation other than just gambling since all my friends are also professional poker players.

My only problem is that I can not use a credit card other than pre-paid credit cards when booking hotel rooms. I think I'm going to go to my bank and see if I could somehow get a pre-paid credit card where I can have around 10K on it.

Also, another thing I'm only 21 and since I've never done this before do you think I'm going to run into any problems booking appointments with an agency? And should I tell them my age before I book an appointment to see if the agency as well as the SP is okay with it?

Thanks again for all your help.

p.s. I also do know a lot about investing, I'm not a total degenerate gambler, so if anyone on here would like some advice do not hesitate to ask.

No, you can have up to $10,000. Now I am not sure if you can load $10K on it with one transaction, I think it is money laundering? None the less, I know you can hold up to 10K on one of those things, I have one and use it for business because I don't like to keep cash around.

I just got off the phone with two companies which offer pre-paid credit cards. One said that I could put no more than $10,000 on it and another company I spoke to said I can not have more than $2,500.

But I called a number of hotels in Toronto and they all said that they do not accept pre-paid credit cards or cash deposits. So now I'm back to square one. The only hotel that allows pre-paid credit cards is Casino Rama. And I don't know if any agencies will travel there.

You can use your work card to reserve and book. When you pay, they always ask whether you want to put it on your card. You can pay cash when you check out. There is no record... unless it's a forgotten charge like phone calls or restaurant charges. Just make sure there are none.

BTW: There are a few hotels that will let you book with cash but not the upscale ones. Why not pick a nice lady with her own condo to start off?

Damondean,

Thanks for the advice. I'm a little paranoid, well very paranoid, of somehow getting any kind of charge on the card because there is a very strict policy on what I can use my card for in regards to work.

I found one hotel that would accept a cash deposit but it was not upscale at all and I don't even think any agency would send a lady to the hotel. And I just perfer to book a hotel for privacy reasons and I don't think I would feel comfortable with going over to a ladies house, just a personal thing.

I appreciate the advice though.

At 21 with $5k/month to spend you can't pick up a million hot chicks?

With school and work I barely get a chance to spend time with family and friends yet alone go out to pick up chicks.
 
Sutton Place sucks, I cant understand how it gets a 4-star rating. There are so many hotels in the city that are both nicer and more guest oriented than that place.

Over priced, aging and coasting on its reputation. Avoid.
 
What is the problem?

With that budget, get a separate, personal credit card or, better yet, rent a small bachelor pad in one of the chick new buildings. Voila! And you have a private get away to boot!

And when you are not using it, of course, let me borrow the key...

Stick with me kid, I'll show you the ropes!!! :D

It's known as the boulot, what is real and what the customer perceives.
It's the differences between the Front-of-the-House and the Back-of-the-House.
And at The Sutton, the boulot was vast. :cool:
 
Such worries!

Try booking with 4Play for your first adventure. That way, no hotel hassles. I have yet to run across a hotel that does not accept a prepaid "credit" card. Just give them the card number and you should be ok.

If you think you will be pooning on a regular basis, sign up for frequent fuc*er programme with Holiday Inn and earn "points". A Holiday Inn is fine for meeting the ladies, no surprises and they don't seem to care why you are there.

Fair enough, I'm sure there are others in this situation.

So you work for a poker playing/sports company where you have a boss that reviews the expenses on your credit card?

If the answer is no, book the room.

My friend,
I smell a lot of rotten rats here.

Who in their right mind would disclose all kind of financial information.

Also, may be I am so naive, I have never heard of a 21 year professional poker player and game better going to schools, and going to start an SP hobby with 5Ks a month.

With that kind of profile you do not need the help at Terb. Smart SPs will find you at the poker table and satisfy your and their own needs.

Cheers my friend and good luck. Something is really rotten in the State of Denmark!!!

Firstly, I did not disclose any financial information. Disclosing financial information would include me stating how much I make or my net worth. I also did not mean to brag by stating how much I was willing to spend a month. If it came off as a brag I'm sorry.

Secondly, there are many poker professionals, the majority of whom play online, who have made 7 figuires playing poker and still continue to go to school. If you don't believe me then let me point out a few (you can google their names if you wish) : Ozzy 87 (a 19 year old who has been compared to Phil Ivey). He has made millions playing poker online and he is going to the University of Houston, Taylor Caby is also a name that jumps out.

Moreover, in Vegas the floor managers do know who has money to spend. They know if the player is a professional poker player (or gambles professionally). And they will be very frank and offer women (at no charge) to players they find can use and would want the company of a female.

Finally, if you are curious about why I go to school. Well in short professional poker player/sports bettor does not mean much on a resume. And I do not plan on doing this for the rest of my life.

I don't work for any company. But the credit card I currently use for traveling expenses is my fathers card. He simply told the credit card company to issue a credit card under my name so I can use it for booking flights and hotel rooms (only when I travel for work). And if he sees that I am using his card to book a hotel room while I'm in Toronto its not going to be hard to put two and two together.
