Important at all?
I did not realize NVG was the "important" section of the internet. I look forward to your analysis threads on the crisis in syria, climate change, and the struggling US economy.

who cares about climate change, syria or the loch ness monster at the time when iceman and marafioti happen to seat at the same table in a casino

safe to say i have a new favorite poker player after reading through this thread.

i played with him at the venetian 2/5 the other day. he is literally the most annoying person i have ever met. i know people from my generation overuse the word "literally" a lot but he actually is. i asked for a table change cause he was tilting me so hard. i mentioned i was from NY and he continued to talk about literally anything that had to do for NY for about an hour.

he claimed to have won a million dollars at mayfeather club. he also brought up his 9 tv final tables...i said i've made more final tables but they've all been sit n' go's. i don't think he caught the needle. or was paying attention. he also tried to get the entire table to buy his song on itunes. i told him to play the song for us on his phone but he was like "nah son you should just buy it you got an iphone" (btw it's like 70 cents). i said i had a samsung lols.

he ****ed up a hand i was in where some guy opened to 20 i 3bet aces to 70 and he was actually deep enough to setmine and he immediately starts going off about how he has a big hand and why i gotta do this to him and now he has to fold and the whole hand he starts bitching about how he folded a big hand in the small blind and i must have a monster or something. i was really tempted to call floor and probably should have. apparently he folded jacks pre.

when my name finally got called for 5/10 it was one of the happiest moments of my life.

... but other than that, he's a stand-up guy and a national treasure?

yeah i refuse to sit at a table with him after having played 2/5 with him at aria and the V. just superrrrr annoying to have to listen to him and definitely right about the corny white dudes all over his dick.

God I love Iceman trip reports

it's worth mentioning for the entire time i was at the table he didn't play a single hand. he may have been the tightest player i have ever met. he didn't even limp in family pots, all while talking about how big he plays and how much he used to destroy games and how much money he has bla bla.

bingo! he strikes me as the biggest self absorbed narcissist of all time, so that would make sense. he's in a world of his own! iceman reminds me a bit of beetlejuice with his stories, tales, lies & exaggerations (howard stern show & sublime reference all in one ).

also liked how you pointed out that people of our generation use the word "literally" too liberally; then proceeded to use it again. heh.

LOL. Too funny.

Playing w him at v right now

A fun game: float him and rep literally any scare card and he will insta muck and give you a speech about how fu**ed you were if you didn't hit that card

Reading some of the comments in this thread was like a flashback to my sophomore year in high school.

blu-ray copies anyone? yet?

Can Venetian please ban Iceman? He destroys the action at any table he's on by sitting out 80% of his hands, sitting back in to lecture today's "kids" about what it takes to make it in the poker world, and hollywooding everytime he has a hand that he considers too big to fold immediately. The guy also practically makes other people act out of turn because he's always talking when it's his turn(to fold, of course).

Then when someone mentions his phone is dead, watch Iceman's eyes light up.. as he struggles to stop himself from attempting to scam with his phone chargers that don't work.

When Iceman's in the house, the floorman devotes 50% of his/her time to servicing people wanting to transfer out of Iceman's table... enough said. Banning him makes PERFECT business sense for the Venetian.

Yes, you're the only one.

I am going to start to play the V more and I am going to look for him. He sounds cool! Does he play Omaha?

The Iceman plays every game.

If you play with him you will get frozed.

That is great. Would be a welcome change. The last few tables I played at V had a bunch of boring people and some degens.

Hh

Played 2-5nl with Teddy for a few hrs other night. My first hand at the table I flop Q hi flush against him, bet 30, iceman raised to 150 and I considered folding, but decided to stick it in for his last 200 and he snap folded. He then folded for 2 hours, and raised once every 30 minutes and complained when everyone folded to his open. He finally got in his last $200 with QQ and lost to AK and left in a fury.

So 20% of the time you guys have to play NINE handed? That does kill action. Oh, the humanity!

Just picturing him putting his scooter in reverse. reversing backwards. then leaving foot on the pedal at 4 mph

on my most recent trip to vegas, saw him with regularity at the V poker room. he is exactly as I remember him and also, exactly as depicted here as recent as Jan of this year.

I don't know how he makes any money all he does is walk around all the time.

Who said he makes any money?
