Who is Crazy Mike? And what's his game?

I was playing at the "V" the other day and there was this kid 25ish and every 15 minutes or so, he would yell like he had a scorpion in his pants. YAYAYAYAYAYAYA!!!!! Sounds like Geronimo charging into battle. I've seen him playing HU pretty high stakes.

Is this Crazy Mike any good at the pokers, or is he just a crazy degen?

I here people talking about him. What's his story? Whats his game?

Re: Who is Crazy Mike? And what's his game?

he's crazy. name is mike, he plays poker. true story.


i've witnessed crazy mike in person years ago when i was playing donk stakes in a local indian casino before i even knew what 2+2 was. in comes a loud mouth, cocky, d-baggish (no offense) blonde guy holding 10k worth of black challenging anybody to HU limit 50-100 or higher. this was when the biggest game running was 20-40 or 2-4 NL. think he's mostly LHE hu specialist.

Watching Mike say raise in 75-150, and proceed to throw three racks of blue in the middle. Priceless. "CALL ME CRAZY MIKE!"

Dubble, from what i know/heard, he inherited about $30 mil at 21. Thats his story.

Re: Who is Crazy Mike? And what's his game?

He was sitting at the 1/2NL games at The Venetian a couple weeks back going all in blind every hand for an hour or two. Dropped a few grand maybe.

One of the dealers said he was trust fund kid who just enjoys spewing money. That seemed like a reasonable enough explanation for me.

Re: Who is Crazy Mike? And what's his game?

A sucker like that can **** in someone's hat, and still not get barred, 'cause with him around, poker's not hard.

Is his Momma an old, tasteless, gullible widow woman that would believe I am going to inherit lots from Howard Hughes when he dies? Need a million walking around money while I wait. Contact information please. Please tell Crazy Mike about me.

Re: Who is Crazy Mike? And what's his game?

I met Crazy Mike at the Venetian one day when I was playing in a mixed game and he sat down to have some fun.

What he does is play heads up no limit hold em freezeouts for 10k or whatever his opponent is willing to play for. That's his specialty and I'm assuming what he does for a living. Whenever he wins he likes to go play in the smaller games carrying around his 20k win all racked up with him and just keep going all in blind in NL or in my case, as we were playing a limit mixed game, he would just put out a bet and four raises no matter what the action was and just yell "unlimited" meaning he would raise and reraise every time it got back to him on every street. Sure, he donks off a ton of money at low stakes but he does quite all right for himself. He claimed his bankroll was a little over a quarter million.

Re: Who is Crazy Mike? And what's his game?

CrazyMike is 2p2 poster MrGatorade. He's an anti bot zealot/an anti Dean zealot/and he likes to challenge anybody to heads up matches even if he's likely to be a massive dog. He seems like the most annoying person in the world, but too many people I know and like seem to like him, so maybe he isn't.
