Greg Merson just tweeted these

@Gregy20723: Scum of all high stakes action in Vegas @ARIAPoker , you will never get action from me in your poker room again

@Gregy20723: Well done @BrokeLivingJRB must be nice to suck rich dick for a living since you could never beat a straight up game higher than 2/5

all i know is that OP has the perfect avatar for that post

Bet it has something to do with private games in a public casino

Its about the semi private games that the Aria has. Ill let Greg speak for himself, But he just thinks private games shouldn't go down in a casino. And worst of all the floormen will basically just lie to Gregs face. He was not happy.

Wonder if he was in said game if he'd be as upset...

They took his jerb.

I looked into it with NVG. The Casino is allowed to hold Private Poker games with a letter from the Casino and approved by NVG. I couldn't believe it until I called gaming about it. I still think it is outrageous.

gregy should more pissed ar Bobby Baldwin who is one of the Heads of Aria and plays in the game that is restricted to Casino patrons, how that is allowed is mind boggling.......

Anything involving JRB is creepy and weird.

Why is that?

I agree with Greg but not sure this is the best way to highlight his concerns

Speaking for NVG - we did not approve.

Don't feel sympathy for dweebs in headphones trying to get into juicy live games. Learn some people skills.

JRB did one of three things. 1. Promised him a seat then reneged. 2. Got him in the game then made him leave for a fish to sit. 3. Refused to even try to get him in.

I personally know a big time pro (top 5 in terms of fame) who JRB did #2 to.

I'm sure the floor wouldn't tell JRB that the game couldn't go 10 handed.

Oh, I'm quite sure it is.

The floor does not have a say. JRB and Bobby Baldwin control the game.

I dont know what i think of this. Sometimes I think private games are fine, other times I think they are not. I mean if the casino banned it(it being private games), its not like greg would be able to play in the game now, they just wouldnt play it in a casino. They do it in a casino because of service and security. If the private game rule was changed then they would probably just play at JRBs or someones.

That said, JRB should be forced to write down the names of all players that are going to be playing, and anybody not on the list cant play. That means if some big drunk whale comes up with 1 mil in chips and wants to play, they cant let him in because he wasnt on the list.

Private should mean among friends/etc. Not among whoever JRB thinks he can beat.

This thread feels like it should be in the whining thread. ONce again 1st World problems.

The floor always has a list. Even with 2 seats open, there is a list, sorry. Obv random old rich guy they dont know can play. 25 year old? Not a chance.

Well now we know why they call @Gregy20723 the people's champ. Not afraid to tell it like it is even in the face of the machine. #respect


lollers

Lollers is right. Everyone at the aria and the players could care less about him. At least half the regs in the game are billionaires. He just makes himself look foolish imo.

They could care less? So they care about him then
