Aight, was at the wynn playing 2-5 last night and the table behind the floor station was short handed with Hollywood Dave playing at it. All of a sudden everyone hears some loud talking between some asian american young guy and Hollywood Dave shaking his head and talking back in apparent disgust. Minutes later Dave is discussing what happened with the floor supervisor and kept trying to claim the others were colluding in their bets and raises against Dave. Then Dave starts to walk away and yells back, something like the wynn condones cheating, blah blah blah, and then states that he was going to post stuff on his blog and the internet about that poker room, blah blah blah. The floor guy, who had been keeping his cool, then got really pissed and screamed "if you do that, you will be LYING!"...then the floor and another supervisor walked away shaking their heads laughing about Hollywood Dave.

Now I don't know if what Dave was saying about the others was true, but I did hear the floor guy tell him something like if it was anyone else Dave, he would be concerned, but he was not concerned about the two guys Dave was talking about.

PS -- Hopefully HD will post something about this and explain what the heck was going on.

You said the table was short-handed. How many people were playing at the time?

Would be a shame if someone cheated a guy affiliated with UB. Really.

He's already posted on his website.

Not sure if I can post a link but the website name is pretty straight-forward to find.

Kind of messed up if it went down like Dave says. Regardless, just pack up and move on, no need to make a spectacle.

Based on Dave's account, he was correct in calling collusion, and he had every right to be upset when the floorman ruled that what occurred was permissible.

I just read Dave's blog after my OP above. Dave's account of how it went down is correct (the only thing I didnt see was the actual hand, but I--and everyone else around) heard the discussions between Dave and the floor. Even though it was only $5, you can't have people chopping pots after raising others out.

Sounds inexcusable. It didn't matter what these two guys intended, that's collusive action & the floor was definitely in the wrong.

Yeah but it's Hollywood Dave. Someone could run over his puppy and I'd still laugh at him.

so dave has a 2+2 acct and he posted this in B&M?

edit: oh, never mind. it was kevmath who posted it.

Hi Everyone:

I read what Dave wrote and first of all it's very unlikely to be collusion, and if it is collusion, the so-called colluders are beyond stupid. The reason for this is that intelligent colluders never want to give away any information about their hands. Thus they will almost always play so that when it is just down to the two of them, like it was here, one would eventually bet (on a later street) and the other would fold. Notice that if played like this Dave would have never said a word.

However, there are reasons why poker rooms don't allow pots to be split (with the exception of chopping the blinds in hold 'em), and the most obvious one is that some players, like Dave here, will think they are being cheated. So Dave is correct in that The Wynn Poker Room should not allow this, and they should make it clear to players who try to chop pots in this fashion that they are not welcome in their poker room.

Best wishes,
Mason

Is this really worth almost getting kicked out of the wynn? I think I would take the same ruling as the floor. 5$ DAVE!!! c'mon your better than that.

You REALLY think he made this fuss over the $5? REALLY?
