Russ Hamilton verbally eviscerated; breaks down into an obscenity laced tirade - Page 16 - Poker News

If you are referring to me you are way off...

me -> russ = apples -> oranges

I am sure you are some underweight, pencil necked, parent's basement dweller. Please enjoy your laughs if you find an incorrect assessment of a situation funny.

Do b&m casinos wait for an official charge before they 86 someone ?

IDK casino's live for rake and if they think that having Russ at one of their tables not causing problems himself, will bring in a handful of rake paying haters, they will let him play.

I just talked to a buddy of mine who is a dealer at the Bellagio. He said he was at MGM today and people were talking about what happened with Russ. I guess they have a new poker director that came over from the Bellagio last week and when he found out about the incident he told his staff that Russ is no longer welcome in the room. Don't know how true and MGM probably won't discuss on the phone. We need someone in the room to ask a manager and verify. Good news if its correct.

Old school poker guy turns out to be a grifter isn't really much of story. But I haven't paid much attention to the whole scandal.

LOL I didnt realize you had a sense of humor grover - well done

Let's try to make that douche totally lose it. If nobody ever actually threatens him or anything it wouldn't be illegal. Just needle him at the poker table, follow the rules of the casino, maybe he'll go crazy and get kicked out or even do something dumb enough to get arrested for assault or something. (Although he probably won't get kicked out since it sounds like he's on good terms w/ the casino.)

This guy is such scum and there's probably naive octogenarians out there losing their social security checks to this mother****ing ass kunt at the casino that don't even realize that Hamilton is one of the biggest cheats ever in the history of poker. (Maybe the single biggest cheat?) I think it's only fair to at least inform the other players in the casino of the facts. I also think that's it's only fair to try to needle Hamilton relentlessly in an attempt to make things as uncomfortable as possible for him.

The best part about it is that in order to needle most him most effectively all you have to do is talk about the truth. No need to make anything up or even stretch the truth at all. Just speak facts at the table if you can't come up with a wittier way to do it. Ask him straight up questions about it all. Act naive yourself, pretend like you don't think he ever did anything wrong. Ask him if he was ever worried about being caught. Ask him if he has any tips for someone trying to follow in his footsteps. Ask him if it was difficult to get the software guys to make the real time cheating tool for him or if they were just happy to do it for him. Ask him if it's a big adjustment to play live without being able to see every player's hole cards. Take the 'Well, you never get in any trouble for it so it's obviously not illegal or immoral' side of the arguement. Pretend to be on his side.

...There's a million ways to needle that douche... Man I wish I was in Florida 3betting him every single hand and then saying **** like "Oh wow, could you see my hand there?" every time I folded.

Or wear a UB hat, pretend to be a total noob UB fanboy, pretend to not know who Russ is. Talk about how upset you are that Helmuth left UB. Ask the other players at the table why they think Phil Helmuth would leave UB after all these years. "I just don't understand why one of the world's greatest most respected NLHE players would leave his company after all this time. Do you think there's something shady going on there? No way Phil would just turn his back on them unless they were doing something wrong right?" Hell maybe some of the other players don't know who Hamilton is and might actually bring up the cheating scandal for you right there at the table in front of Fatty McCheaterson himself!!!

Or take the noob angle and eventually say something like "Man, I love playing here at the casino where you know there's not any cheaters. I don't trust all that online poker stuff. I heard there were some guys that could actually see your cards online!!! Why would anyone ever play online when there's guys who can see your cards the whole time. It'd be like if this guy over here (then just randomly put over towards Hamilton) was leaning over and looking at my cards every hand. Since we're here at the casino I know he'd never do that, plus you look like a stand up type of guy sir, I know you'd never do that. But online, you never know he's cheating!!!"

... there's seriously like a billion ways to needle this guy and he obviously deserves it all plus more. I can't believe this ass clown would actually have the balls to show up in a casino and sit down and play poker.

2p2'ers unite and needle!!!

+1
But why just Russ? Why not everone wearing a UB patch past present and future?

Also, a dealer friend told me Russ is no longer welcome at MGM. Kudos to them.

I will make a special point to stop at the MGM and play next time I am in town. Not that it matters to anyone, even the MGM, but their positive action deserves some kind of reward from poker players.

organizing some kind of 2p2 night there sounds like an appropriate thank you. have a few hr 2p2 "flashmob" on the mgm poker room and make sure to gamble, tip a bunch, and thank them all for banning russ.

wat? I think you meant about ****ing time...and the only reason being that he's starting to make them look bad and potentially lose money.

So, good news? Absolutely. Kudos? Certainly not.

And +1 for doing the same thing to anyone who endorses UB.
