Ok this is getting kind of ridiculous.

lol. rocco? wtf?

General rule: If they live and round at the borgata, they are not the best. Is mike the kid with glasses and a hat, young kid, wears polos?

Mike is the guy who wear a worn out Phillies hat. Some people call him Lehigh.

AZK · 08-13-2006, 10:27 PM

yeah, always buys in with big chips and is pretty quiet. oh yeah, he's a nit too, right?

Based on the fact that he wears a Phillies hat, I am going to guess that he practices bad game selection.

He definitely tends towards the nitty side, but he's probably not as nitty as you think. I've seen him make some big calls based on strong reads as well as the occasional big bluff.

It's gotta be Ed the mail man.

Just kidding.

There's at least one guy that springs to mind as being one of the best there who's not on your list... I think his name is Jason? Relatively young, very aggressive, very good, very successful in that game.

Or maybe it was "Sean"?

i played there once.

lol, I've never sat 10/25, but Rocco cannot be one of the best players unless that game is super soft.

Who is that guy anyway? I sometimes hear people at the Borg talk about him. Doesn't he have a bracelet or something. (Just wondering, I don't play high stakes).

He's exactly the kind of guy who would look like a Rocco - wrinkled face, slicked back grayish hair. Probably in his early to late 60s. He's a solid player from what I've seen at 5/10, but I've also really only seen him play his own cards - that kind of style just can't make him one of the biggest winners.

I think I know exactly who is he. Back in the old room I ate with him when all the other tables were full, nice guy. He does look like a Rocco, he looks like he could be on the Soprano's.

Would Rocco be the type of guy to try to re-buy in for more than the max at 5-10? And when questioned about it knock over his stacks and make a big mess so no one can count how many chips he has? The guy I saw do this fits the description of Rocco.
