too bad you didnt say, see you in the parking lot fat bastard

only bad side, russ would/should be packing all the time

best thing would of been to have really awful shots ordered and drink them as fast as possible and then stumble over to russ and puke on him

would be classic

i was at gulfstream until about 1:30 am, when did this happen? i had already lubricated the situation by whispering some pretty terrible things in russ's ear on my way out of the game.

got a pic of russ buying in with some of that UB dough tho (he lost about 5k)

Excellent story. If I'm ever lucky enough to run into you in a casino, drinks are on me.

Is that a bottle of ginko biloba?

Major props to you if true story. EVERY poker player should treat him this way at the poker table.

+1, travesty to see a former ME winner treated with such disrespect. Unless OP was there OP did not know what really happened IMO. Sounds like guy could have had a heart attack FFS.

It was about 11:15PM. We were at the rock before midnight.

Wish we could have stayed and gotten some of that 5K. I had direct position and my buddy had relative position on the fish (he raised Voften pre), only negative in the whole deal.

+1 for the good guys... I guess... but we still have about $20million to go

Your friend did well to keep the attack verbal imho

hahaha awesome well played BILLY

(This is Billy Sharkey)

The first one liner was in regards to him repeatedly complaining about him getting unlucky. I think he lost with kq to kj when a king flopped and a lot of money got in there then villain hits a jack. Few minutes later he loses big pot with KK verse 67 and he says, "now its the 6-7, yup, they always do it, now its with the 6-7 verse the two kings. They alwaysdo it to me."

So I say (mind you I have not acknowledged him prior to this) "well if karma really exists, they will keep doing it to you everyday for the rest of your life"

The look on his face was priceless man, like he is in that state where he got sucked out on (it was pretty dirty, it came 8-6-2 and I wasnt paying attention so much to the hand but, substantial money was def put into the pot on the flop and turn....6 on the river....all in on the river) and most people in a live casino are going to be sympathetic in that spot, say something to the effect of, 'that was so sick', or 'I know, I got kings cracked like that yesterday,' you know something (stupid, yet) empathetic like that. So for him to be expecting sympathy from me, his neighbor, and then to instead get a sick needle like that was f cking great.

Other good ones too. Mind you, I am not quick with jokes or one liners, I usually stutter and am horrendous at telling stories. But his friend came up to him and was explaining to him how he folded pocket 4's pre but would have hit a set had he called. I said, so Russ, when you were doing that thing on ultimate bet could you see what the flop was too? Or was it just the hole cards.

A few more, somebody at table said you guys are fighting like a father and son, I replly no, no, no, I could never call a man like this my father, then I asked russ while feigning actual interest, are sons allowed to disown fathers or can only fathers disown sons? Either way, of course I would disown you,,, that was a pretty funny one.

Just wanted to give a few specifics in case any unbleievers. Were a few more too.

Usually I am a person who avoids conflict at a place like poker table. I am almost sheepish at times. Slifdoggy is usually the one who would step up and harass this guy instead of me. This was very fun and I am proud.

This is excellent, well played. Also my favourite thread title ever.

Thank you, Billy.

Thank you.

Billy Sharkey! Welcome to 2+2 my friend. Sorry I called you a bit of goon, but it takes a goon to know a goon!

Seriously though, you are a bit scary at times, and I am very scary often.

I had to pay homage to you for last night... just so well played.

For all the haters, I told Billy on the way to the Hard Rock that I could not wait to post this story on 2+2 and that I would throw in a plug for his youtube Vblog (which the mods correctly took out of my OP). When I finished my write up this afternoon, I emailed billy the link and here he is....

This is awesome. This should happen every time he sits down.

Its amazing how he appears to be posting from the exact same IP you are. You'd almost think you were the same person!

I was under the assumption when Dave first told me that we were sitting next to Russ Hamilton that he is used to being berated and ******* on, but judging by his reaction I am not sure he is. He was totally taken aback and did not see it coming at all.

Also now that I am remembering, at first when the table was opening up, I had locked up the ten seat, I went to get my chips and when I came back he was in the ten seat and thus had stolen my seat. I didnt know who the **** he was so I was all polite and I said its okay, dont worry about it, ill take the other seat. So i wonder how he sees it looking back, this young little prick was all nice and polite and respectful to me and then all of a sudden he is f cking ripping on me,, what the hell is going on?

I would have never wrote words like eviscerated and obscenity laced tirade (though I wish I was smart enough to) we are not the same person,,,, but you go so far as to figure out that we are on the same ip adress to see if we are lying or not? You should be a detective.

We are staying at the same friend's house in Florida.

I am staying in a back cottage (mother-in-law), billy is staying in the main house. I have no idea if he is home right now. I did email him the link after posting it.

We often commute together to play games. I usually do not sit at the same table as him, if possible, because we do not collude and he is very good at the pokerz.

Sharkey, Ray Powers is a moderator. He is the guy who took out the Vblog plug from the original post (OP). Do not get too rough with him or you will be banned before you reach 5 posts!

haha sorry mr. Ray Powers!!

this is up there with winning the wsop ME when it comes to things that i sometimes fantasise about..

lol. knew it.

Billy Sharkey you are a huge goon.

So this is all bs? Well...cool story bro

Yes, the fact that two guys that run together and play in the same poker games, are now posting from the same IP address the next day, why what happened the night before couldn't possibly be true!!!

Amazing that there is still not a cure for cancer with this bunch of 2+2 einstein's running around.
