he played in the high limit sectioned off area of the Rio. he was about 300lbs, flashy shirts, talked a lot. was he some former rapper or former sports star?

i was there for a week in June and July so i assume he was there almost the entire time.

just curious.

I know who youre talking about... he is a limit specialist who plays 30-60 for a living. He basically lives in the bellagio poker room and plays very straight forward ABC poker. Ive never seen him turn up a bad hand at showdown. Plays very tight.

everything about him made me think he was in the music business. i think that's the image he wants to project or something close to it.

not so much a stereotype but an obvious guess

Most likely Biggie Smalls. Always playing the highest limits at the Rio. He's a rap artist.

aparently he's a former drug dealer and the fbi watches him and [censored], too lazy to bring up the thread

he wears a 20k+ jacob and at the B he sits with a handful of flags and 2 racks in any limit game he plays, dude likes to show off

he also tips a lot from what i've seen

he mildy berated me once too. i raise a7o and he 3bet and some clown called from the blind. flop was like 1073 monotone and checked around. turn was a q and i bet and he called. river was an ace and i bet and he agonized and called with kq then was upset i bet the turn.

his comments were as mild as they come esp considering what the vegas locals usually say to me but i guess he felt bad about it. later he came over and apologized and we did black person handshake.

I think OP was joking when he asked if it was a former rap star.

I've only been to Bellagio once, I played 15/30, and I'm pretty sure I played with that guy. He talked a lot but seemed pretty nice, and he's pretty solid. One hand I raised on the button with AK, flop was QTx, everyone checked to me, turn was J, three people checked to him and eh bet, I raised and when it was folded back to him he called my hand and folded.
