You have no idea what you're talking about David Peat. We've only played on two seperate days for short periods of time so you can't make these type of judgements regarding my personality. I've told you before that my roots are at the 5-10 game at the Wynn so trust me, I know everything about entertaining and catering to the tourists as well as developing camraderie at the table. This is what the Wynn and Venetian poker rooms are all about. Unfortunately the Bellagio has MUCH more serious vide to it, so there's a lot more needling, **** talking, angleshooting, insulting, and overall rude behavior there. If you're not a "poker superstar" you're treated as a nobody by the staff and the players will see your friendliness as a weakness and will exploit it. So yes, there are days when I go in there with my i-pod and hood and dont talk to anyone because again like I said, players will look to manipulate your friendliness and **** with you in general.
The Wynn is a different story. Just a few weeks ago when I was there taking care of something non-poker related I was approached by two gentlemen out in the hallway. They said they remember playing with me at the 10-20 at the Bellagio and enjoyed my company there. They asked if I would be willing to start up a 10-20 game right there and then and I said sure. We played short handed many hours and the whole time they were joking about how they were playing with a Vegas pro and were giving away their money. But they were happy to be enjoying themselves because that's why they came here in Vegas in the first place.
Just the other week I was in a 10-20 game at the Wynn and looked like the game was going to break as it was down to myself and another player who was very inexperienced. He said he wanted to play me heads up to improve his game because his friends there had told him taht I was a "pro." I went along with it and made sure that he and his friends (who were watching on the rail) had a good time about it. I could go on with plenty more stories...

at the same time you educate the up and comping grinders with the little bit of knowelge you have., as smart as you think you are, you are twice as dumb.
There may be times where I slip up but people who really know me, know that I'm very religious regarding keeping the poker strat talk to a minimum at the table. Again, you can't make these types of assumptions without having really spent time with me at the table.

the smartest thing you did was giving me the money back and leaving, you are draawing dead when it comes to out talking me, you play ok but got alot to learn!
David, I never attacked you personally. The table banter was fun but you were obviously outclassed because you had to resort to pathetic and nasty insults.

and i promise the last thing you want me doing is coming back to belagio and playin every day. it will hurt your ego, and your bottom line!
We talked plenty about ego that night before I had left. If you recall I made it clear that I'm not out to prove anything in the poker world, that I would be gone in 5 years and you would never hear from me again. As for the bottom line, I acecpeted the $200 because because there were still 3 super donkeys in the game and it was definately a good spot to be in. You being there doesn't change that fact. Plus you had just dropped down in stakes from Bobby's room and I know from experience that when a player drops in stakes in one day they don't play their best at the new level. Needless to say you were splashing around quite a bit and any sort of edge you might have had over me (if any at all) was marginal at best.
