Teddy "IceMan" Monroe sightings? - Page 11 - Poker News

Was playing with him 2/5 at the Bellagio last week. He barely plays a hand for an hour before finally getting it vs me with kings preflop. I obv has Aces. King hits first card out on the flop, Teddy gets up and says straight to my face "You fool! Dont you know nobody coolers the Iceman!". He then proceeds to give out Ice Age dvds to the whole table before escaping on his scooter. Was pretty tilting, i already have the first Ice Age on dvd.

The Iceman, a cash game grinder for nearly three decades, told Card Player, “If I go up early in a session I try to play much tighter. I know how easy it is to get trapped, and right now money means a lot. There is a serious recession in the nation right now, and if you have to be disciplined to avoid the tough swings. I’ve been in the game a long time, and I’ve truly developed patience for grinding day in and day out. For example, if I have pocket aces at $2-$5 and I make it $45. If somebody who has $400 on the table goes all in, I will throw my hand away and quit the game. I would be frustrated that I threw away the aces, as I didn’t get a chance to see the flop. Basically I minimize my potential losses. I don’t have huge swings anymore.”

It’s ultra-conservative to even consider folding aces preflop in hold’em, but Monroe has been surviving in the game for longer than most.

So he jams KK but folds AA preflop?

If anyone sends this mental midget a dime of their money you are a idiot.

He speaks like he maybe has a 3rd grade education.

If their were a club for scams and low life he would be the CEO, and Chino would be the COO.

AA is unlucky. When I get it pre flop I shove all in no matter what. That way I will just win the blinds and not lose my whole stack.

Sat next to him at Aria three days ago. He asked me if I knew who he was and I trolled and told him I had no idea. He then told me that he "runs Vegas" and touched my hand with his fingertip, then said "You just got froze." It was extremely awkward and uncomfortable.

Also, he folded AK preflop twice to shortstacks getting better than 3.5:1 on his money. Both times people showed worse hands.

Every time I feel like doing this, I get so paranoid into thinking I am going to maybe a typo or error that I end up deleting what I type. :/

Rumor has it, Teddy did time for robbery or bank robbery. The story goes that the money was never located.

The backyard was ugly as, but they managed to stay on the shot for ages and use a fisheye lens to try and make it look better.

The next time you come to the Iceman's crib, it's gonna be better.

Translation: His rooms won't all be the same color.

dude is crazy. It would be interesting to know the real story about his life, but you will never get that because of all the madness and facade he puts on.

He is probably some dude who acts gangsta but grew up in the suburbs. Reminds me of Papa Doc in 8 mile.

"But I know something about you
You went to Cranbrook, that's a private school
What's the matter dawg? You embarrassed?
This guy's a gangster? he's real name's Clarence

And Clarence lives at home with both parents
And Clarence's parents have a real good marriage
This guy don't wanna battle, He's shook
'Cause there no such things as half-way crooks
He's scared to death
He's scared to look in his ****ing yearbook, **** Cranbrook"
