Red guy can take right one urinal if he will stare ostentatiously to right side up. But blue guy on his left can use that to check his tool, so it is still not perfect.

Trust me, there's hundreds more people like Zo Karim, putting on the charm and duping people for money. Like Chino, Hawkins, Zima, Jean-Prince Gaspard and countless countless others.

But Joe wants to warn people 4 years later about Mike and his sad airport hustle for $100 rofl. Hey Joe, say hi to my wife next time she pays you a compliment and warn us about the real scammers in the poker community like Zo Karim. Not rinky dink money a degen gambler makes at an airport every now and then.
what a clown.
so he warned people about a scammer and didn't want to waste his breath on your wife. seems fine to me.

and while he is a bad poker ambasador at least he's rich already. this site is filled w people grinding poker, need the money but sabotage their own games.

I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.

The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
@SrslySirius, your a fairly talented dude, don't think this copypasta reflects that. Kind of a reach.

Sorry bros. Next time I ask someone how much they lost or discuss untracked Euro sites, I hope you'll forgive me for not inventing those memes either.

I don't know anymore who's joking and who's not, but if any of you are serious about never standing next to someone else at a urinal, don't go to any major sporting event unless you have some incredible bladder capacity.

I bet Zo is loving the direction this thread went.
If you had cared about the direction the other thread was going, you would have done something to help bring it back on track, like contributing some actual content (other than finding a way to bring your mortal enemy McKeehen into the discussion with no real reason to do so). But instead, you saw an opportunity to whine about your derail being removed and take yet another shot at McKeehen. So if "Zo is loving the direction this thread went", I guess he loved that you were doing your part as well.

I guess you're not aware that your derails of other threads and carrying on about some encounter years ago make you look a whole lot worse than McKeehen.

Okay first of all, since you seem to be constantly claiming that I am derailing threads about McKeehen you couldn't be more wrong. Until very recently I hadn't mentioned him at all probably in over a year or more. However, maybe you didn't give a crap but I found it ridiculous that a guy who used to be a constant poster before winning the main appears all of a sudden to tell us to be 'cautious' about perhaps Mike B hustling at an airport. The post was laughable in my opinion. We all know by now about Borovetz and his airport escapades. There are much worse individuals out there in the poker community as we speak scamming tens of thousands of dollars and more from people. Like Hawkins who cheated his backer or Chino Rheem and now Zo Karim who at least took Glantz for $10,000 (according to his twitter) and countless others.

And before I was a poster I used to read this forum and others for quite awhile. If I remember correctly McKeehen and Borovetz used to go back and forth a bunch seemingly joking with each other. So maybe there's some personal beef he has with Mike B to use his rare post to warn us about something everybody knows by now? And I'm sorry Bobo but as I've stated before, what does Mike get per person, $50? $100? Certainly not life changing money for anybody but there are these other scammers out there(Zo being the latest example) taking 5 figures from people.

So to conclude my reply to you, was I pissed that he blew off my wife 2 years ago? Sure. Do I think McKeehen has been a terrible ambassador for the game and has lots of issues? You betcha. But as someone who knows mafia guys playing poker in casinos and dangerous felons playing and all the outed big scammers, having the main event winner who seemingly used to have a playful relationship with Mike B randomly show up to 'warn us about a degen still hustling small amounts of money at an airport bothered me.

Sorry if you didn't agree and I won't mention the wife thing again or even bring McKeehen up again on here. Not worth my aggravation or seemingly yours. But for the record, I did contribute to the Zo Karim thread by mentioning hearing about him playing high stakes baccarat and commenting on the disgusting nature of it. It wasn't all about Joe McKeehen like you tried to portray.

IMO this thread feels incomplete without pics of wife or meme's of McKeehen snubbing wife or something. Don't you agree?

Joe's had some pretty good live scores since winning the Main. This year, he won another bracelet and according to Hendonmob has 5 $100K plus scores. To the original question posed in the thread, I think the answer is undeniably NO.

Now, pix of wifey?

The WSOP and all the poker fan boys did not pay his tournament buyin for him or pay the juice on his buyin for him.

Like he owes it to be an ambassador- Sheesh.

One day someone will win and say they do not advise young people to become poker players. So what?

Just because there are worse things in the world doesn't mean it shouldn't be discussed.

'Heart disease is bad!'
'lol talking about heart disease, how dare you!? Do you know how many people die of cancer per year?'

Discuss what? Mike Borovetz and his airport chronicles have been discussed Ad-nauseam on here for over 2 years. It was getting to the point where if the guy was sighted anywhere in a poker room playing a $100 tournament someone gave us the breaking news. And no matter what others think I have always been a little impressed that he participated in the hate here for quite awhile and admitted a lot of **** about his downward life that I don't see anybody else coming clean. Nothing from Chino Rheem or Zima or Hawkins or Zo or any of the other countless scammers that exist.

Maybe because it came from Mckeehen it rubbed me the wrong way a bit more. Sure I can admit it. Especially when if I remember correctly the two of them used to go back and forth with each other and joke a lot. As I asked earlier, is it something personal Joe has against Mike B? Otherwise I don't understand his 'warning' about Borovetz's sad airport shtick that everyone has known about for 4 years. I think we as poker players have more serious scammers to worry about, aka Zo Karim being the latest example.

Beating ̶d̶e̶a̶d̶ ̶h̶o̶r̶s̶e̶ WSOP Main Event Winner. I know bar where I am going two times in year and there is guy twenty years in the same seat telling the same story, how he had bought flat in 1988, it is his life story. We'll see if you'll even be around in 5 years ECB

Since it's something you seem to value highly, I'll say it's brave of you to admit the blindingly obvious.

McKeehan briefly commented in an active thread on a subject about which he had some personal, albeit secondhand knowledge. He did the same last year in a thread about Sorel Mizzi.

Please stop trying to lecture people on proportion and putting things in perspective.

And most importantly: of course the urinal etiquette discussed is only for when there's a choice available.
