Scummy note (imo). He always tips every one dollar chip he wins. He just doesn't do them. So the dealers are constantly making change to get dollar chips in in hopes he wins. I get why they do it but it's pretty scummy imo. Especially considering the dude already tips like a boss as is.
But yea the type of oil field business he has there's just no way he's a billionaire.
Thanks Lloyd 45! As I said, I was just told he was a billionaire in oil. Regardless a nice guy and the action was unbelievable....How did you know it was him? Did I even say his name was Jeff?

QFT

This burns me up when people do this. It its a $4/8 game and some obvious first timer sits down looking for help, I'm understanding of that. I don't want them going broke in 10 mins and never playing again because they didn't really understand the game. But beyond that rare example....1 player to a hand!

Yes, commenting on the hand is bad form and against the rules in some rooms. If somebody wants to muck a winning hand you let them. I've won pots where the board plays and I table my hand and the other person mucks. When someone not in the hand points out that it's a chop it violates one player to a hand.

I had a hand the other day where I talked 55 on a 6787A board and the guy showed his hand to his neighbor and then mucked 6x. Luckily the guy next to him waited until the hand was in the muck before saying "you had a 6?"

My fault, I thought you meant commenting about it on these forms....Yeah, I quietly said it to the guy next to me and then louder once she mucked. I didn't interject before she mucked. You're right, my fault for misunderstanding.

I'm glad he's known! Made me a little money but also made it the most entertaining table of the WSOP so far for me. If you see him, tell him the guy wearing the "WSOP Main Event Champ 2015" says hi. He'll remember me.....

^ It's all good. I can see where the misunderstanding was.

Back to funny WSOP anecdotes. I was paying in a late night 1/3 game that had over $10k on the table, 6 handed. A floor came over looking for seats for players from the 5/10 that just broke and didn't believe us when we told him what game we were playing. It's insane how good some of those low stakes games get late at night.

During colossus weekend I spent a lot of time playing 1/2 at Luxor where there was a gemstone/jewelry makers convention. People from all over the US and Canada and India were staying at the Luxor and the nightly 1/2 games were playing very deep.

There was one table of 10 guys from India who played together every night until 3-4am and they didn't want anyone they didn't know in the game unless they lost a few guys to bedtime. On my last night there I noticed the Indian game was 6 handed and requested a table change as soon as I sat down. The poker manager, Sheldon knows me and knows what I was trying to do by getting into the super deep Indian game so he made me wait until someone else walked in to take my seat at my table before he'd let me move.

20 minutes in I got my table change and sat in seat 6. Soon a couple of guys who were killing the pits sat down and were raising pre flop 50 - all in depending on their position in the hand. They were loud and friendly and the Indian guys quickly took to them. I made myself as friendly as possible with the Indian guy next to me, Raj and started ordering Bacardi/Cokes for the whole table.

An hour in and the Pit donks are down about 500 each, I've snatched about 200 of it but Raj and another Indian guy rake the majority of it. With the Donks down to their last 300 each (according to them) we started putting side props on the hands instead of betting so deep. Some hands I would bet if I won the hand Raj would have to freeroll me a trip to India and let me stay at his house. I won one of those hands with K high but then told him I didn't want to go to Mumbai for obvious reasons.

This wasn't anything special or totally "funny" it was just a really fun night with some super nice Indian dudes (rocking 100k watches and stuff like that) and a couple of donks who loosened up the game and made it a really fun night of 1/2 playing like it was 5/10

Were the "donks" names Leonard and Howard by chance? Penny had to have been cocktailing that night if the whole table was drinking Bacardi Cokes

Yep I've seen him in Shreveport/Bossier many times. Seems like a nice guy and he loves to play BIG.

Penny was cocktailing! She's very lovely and sweet. I don't remember the donks names except that one of them had been there a few days from LA and he would tell every dealer that his name was just like theirs (James, I'm Jimmy. Danny I'm Dan, Georgia I'm George.) It actually became kind of amusing to call this guy 5 different names

Why wouldn't you want to go to India if the guy was going to pay for it and put you up at his place? Sounds like a great trip and to have a local host you is even better!

The ineptitude of the people who run the WSOP is simply incredible. I'll add this to my list of reasons why I don't play there. Judging by the stud games they have listed and the denominations of the chips in the pot, this was a fairly big game. What was the outcome of this fiasco? How was it handled?

From the guy who had 15k stolen from his room at the Rio because he let a scammy begger up in there alone? I'm ignorant one? You're a confirmed idiot.

It was sarcasm, I won't go to India because I hate flying badly especially long distances.

Handle your own business and get a sense of sarcasm before you step up to the mic next time...

And before you shoot back that I don't know what I'm talking about I read the whole thread about your incident and you and your roommate are idiots and defined ignorance with your own belongings in real time just days ago.

Did you think he means commenting on 2+2 after the fact. He meant commenting during a hand at the table, which can affect the action.

You don't know what sarcasm means.

Also if you COMPREHENDED what you read in that thread, you know that poor woman--that slut--kidnapped herself.

Probably the same guy that decided to do that at a cash game every freakin hand.

That a way to ignore your own ******ed actions in that story and how the thread was 3 pages 100 post each about how wronged you felt when being robbed was on you and your roommate and that responsibility was yours alone. Letting that Omar guy in your room much less alone what idiots.

Derail over. Your a confirmed idiot IRL by your own boo hoo I got robbed it's our own fault, "thread". PM if you got issues otherwise head back over to the Rio there's a guy named Borovetz who'd love to smoke some weed in your room at the Rio and hang out by himself for a half hour.
