If you antagonize someone from the rail, they give you one warning and they kick you out."
So your meek little victim is perfectly fine with engaging in the exact same behavior that he is now complaining about. He taunts players from the rail until he is warned that he'll be kicked out and then he apparently quiets down.
So if, as you say above, that there can be absolutely no justification for ever taunting a player from the rail, then what say you to your little good-natured twitter friend who's a good person with a good heart?
I am very glad you shared this.
I almost felt bad for Luke Vrabel for a moment, but this post saved me from that icky feeling.
What a piece of work this guy is.
I'm sure in his mind he was completely justified when he was the one doing the antagonizing.
Now though, he is playing for potentially life-changing money, it is completely off limits! No antagonizing from the rail at all. Period.
Did he ever stop to think that maybe the person HE was antagonizing was playing for "life-changing" money to them?
He does not get to be judge jury and executioner and decide WHEN it is OK to berate someone from the rail.
On the same, token, however, the WSOP floor DOES get to be judge jury and executioner, and
should make a consistent ruling, regardless of the participants.
I believe they were dead wrong for letting this occur, but I don't believe he should be reacting the way he is.
When it became clear to him that they weren't going to do anything about it, he should have adapted. That's the amazing thing that separates us from animals, our ability to quickly adapt to situations.
There are earplugs for sale 10 feet outside the Brasilia room. Put some in.
Put on your headphones. Tune the crowd out. Play your A-Game.
If he wants to be elite and not subjected to being antagonized, then rise above the obstacles around you and win.
Instead of ranting and calling some girl a fat ***** on social media.
Prove it on the felt, not on Twitter.
