all kidding aside, i can't wait for the stories to start up of people needling him at the table about his dupont interview, missed southwest flight, room at the ramada, etc.
all the unnecessary details from his scam story are going to come back to haunt him and make him intensely uncomfortable at the tables
“I play a different style than most people. I flat call a lot and I’ve gotten a lot of criticism for the way I play. People don’t like to play against me because my range is so wide and a lot of times I can’t be put on a hand,” Borovetz said. “But I always have room to learn. I’m not perfect but I have a unique style that works for me and I think it will continue to work for me.”
This truly is fascinating though. . because the old "I need money for gas" scam always seemed reserved the the brokest of the broke. . it screams degenerate gambler AND drug addict. It screams your whole family having cut you off because you have burned all bridges. .
yet he is still playing in bracelet events, which leads one to believe he is CURRENTLY being staked. Hard to believe he is raising enough money on this scam to be buying into bracelet events.
Will be very interesting if he ever comes on here and has a "come to jesus" moment. (which I suspect we won't, will likely be gone forever.)
I hope we get more details . . would love to know who is staking him. .
The least we can do it help him recoup the $150,000 he blew in the pits in 40 minutes after his pai gow win. .
Losing 150K at Pai Gow tiles in a casino sounds like just more bs.
Introduction
Pai Gow Poker is a variation of the Chinese domino game pai gow. The game is known for a slow rate of play and lots of pushes, resulting in low risk game. While a game of skill, most hands are obvious how to play, and it is not difficult to learn proper strategy for the rest of them. Every player plays against the same dealer hand, which causes the table to often win and lose together, resulting in a fun and social game. http://wizardofodds.com/games/pai-gow-poker/
Is it confirmed that Michael Borovetz is PSUMike? If so, shouldn't that be added to the thread title? After all, I think it's pretty important information that he's a somewhat common 2plus2 poster.
Not that I'm suggesting anything, but how do known scammers walk around in super populated places (like poker tournaments) without getting injured? Sure this guys only tried to scam a couple hundred bucks, but some people owe tens of thousands of dollars and still show up to these things.
I was walking through Bellagio tonight and walked right by him. It was really crowded and I didn't see him until we were passing. Had I seen him coming I would have started a loud conversation with my friend about how I'm looking to back some players for the ME. Would have been fun to see him stop in his tracks and approach us.
I have seen, "the I need gas" scam in Los Angeles a couple of times. Car down the street and needs 5 dollars to fill a can to take over. I told the owner of gas station but didn't seem to really care.
Sad. These people are such parasites on society but even parasites find a way to live.

Happened to me in college and didn't give the guy anything. Ended up seeing him a couple days later outside a bar I came out of trying it on some other kid and I screamed "SCUMMMMBAAAAG!" in my drunken stupor and he ran away.
I can still remember bluffing this guy's mug in a 4bet pot and showing at the bike 2 years ago and thought he was going to cry. Now I don't feel so bad. What a sick degen...
