haha, well the 10/20 hose didn't go, so we played ridiculous $100max nl, basically flipping for $100 at a time. highlight of the night: getting Phil, the random 80+ year old at the table to get in on a 6 way $100 flip.

*edit* obv shipped the 6 way flip with 98cc on a KJT7Q board to break even on the night at $100max, lol

Alright so basically, there's a dude going around turning stone by the name of Jim Woo (or Wu). He's a relatively bigger asian dude. Apparently he started talking to a couple friends of mine and told them that he was one of the co-founders of Orbitz.com (obv the travel company that sold for $1.25 billion fwiw). He then told them that he wanted to back them in bigger games like 1000 min or 2500 min if it ever ran etc. When I finally met this supposed legend he bragged about playing the $50k HORSE 2 years in a row. When asked, "So did you make it to day 2?" he pondered the question, and apparently forgot, and then eventually said "yeah, no wait, actually i only went to the end of day 1." He then proceeded to say that he wanted to play a big HU game like 200/400 or 300/600 and that he only plays limit holdem. Me not wanting to call this dude out just yet, investigated the situation. I learned from several people that he is a huge degen bull****ter, and most of them laughed at the thought of him being able to afford one BB in that game. I then walked back into the tourney room where he was railing/chatting and said ok lets play that freezeout, $5k, $10k, $15k, w/e u want. He stutters a bit and eventually says ok but he needed to eat dinner first. Didn't see him again until later, where he was playing 30/60 limit (which he was god awful at) and told a person who was trying to collect money from him (he has several unpaid debts for a whopping $xxx) that he was sitting with all his money and that he'd pay him later. I ask him about our HU match and he says he will definitely play me tomorrow (being monday) but i'm 100% positive he will tell me the same, every day this week.

Cliff Notes: Watch out for Jim Woo (or Wu), he could possibly be trying to scam kids and is a huge bull****ter.

Busto in the bounty. @ 100/200: Relatively aggro older guy open limps in MP2 or MP3. I limp OTB w/ K8ss. SB limps, BB checks. Flop is Jd7s5s, checks to open limper who bets 600, I make it 1700, folds back to him and he jams for like 5k more. I call he has QsQx. Turn is 6d and I brick the river. GG.

In other news, that supposed Jim Woo claimed to be good friends w/ gobboboy and supposedly told people he was going to get $1k/$2k going with him later. When gobbo was asked about this his response was: "I've never heard of or seen anyone by that name in my life."

shaun-

supposidly the guy started threatening a dealer who didnt deal him in a hand because he didnt have the players card. he was mad and grabbed the card dealt to the player to his right. dealer told him he needed the card etc and the guy threatened to get the dealer fired.

seurity came...i heard he was banned from the casino at least a year. also heard he was on 'house arrest' in his room overnight and was forced to leave this morning

if anyone played the turbo yesterday he was the snake guy with all the newspapers...basically tanked every hand, guess he yelled at one of the dealers during the tourney as well. not something to do to make friends during a turbo event obviously.

edit: it didnt happen late at night, i believe sometime after he got knocked out of the turbo, i remember him walking out around five. i played last night from 10p-3a and nobody else was kicked out then so im assuming were talking about the same guy.

pretty sure it was the kid at my table...lol

some random young internet looking kid comes to sit down in the biggest game running- 5/5nl (sigh) and sits 2 to my right. he starts off iso raising after a bunch of limpers every couple of hands and talking about how good he is and how bad other ppl are. then one younger guy limps utg, 2 more limps, then internet kid raises to like 20 gets 4 callers, utg leads out ajx flop and takes it down and then internet kid starts bashing his play- "do you just run like god or do your ******ed lines somehow work in this game?" or something to that effect. at this point i assumed they were friends and he was just messing with him, but i realized they didn't know each other and he just continued to call him "slow" and "******ed" and other ****. the other guy asked him to take it outside of course and internet kid quickly declined.

internet kid ran his stack up to like 1.8k or so (running like god) after overbet shoving with 44 vs 53 on a 53c2c flop and turning a straight vs a woman who he proceeded to needle, asking her why she tanked with 53 and being a ****** overall (pretty sure he was very drunk or on something heavy).

he then raises to 28 (so gay) after like 4 limps i call in sb with 33 and 3 other callers i think. Ac3c5s checks to him he bets 68 (gay) i make it 205 he calls after tanking and asking for my chip count. turn Qh i bet 295 with 355 behind and he asks for a chip count again immediately after i bet, as soon as he did that the woman who lost the 53 hand calls for a clock and he flips out a little, but then calms himself enough to put me all in with "top two" and loses the pot.

as soon as the dealer starts shipping the pot to me, he stands up and says to the woman- "you know you're a huge C (rhymes with bunt) right? how can you be such a giant bitch?" (pretty close to that) and continues on a tirade about how she was rude and a huge bitch for calling the clock that fast. he also had a great line- "you're just so ****ing dumb, and you're doubly dumb because you're a woman" which got the whole poker room into a buzz. the floor was over at this point and calling security (who took like 5minutes to get there) and they eventually escort him out of the room. meanwhile, the woman is pleading with the floor to let him stay because she was just trying to needle him into gunning for her i guess. pretty ridiculous situation

then on some 100nl game or something, all his mtt friends start talking **** and backing him up, mumbling bitch/C this and that and how he's "one of the top online tournament players" (i couldn't stop laughing at this because they all looked/sounded soooooooo pathetic/ridiculous). unfortunately i didn't figure out who he was or what his sn was, but yea it was pretty funny to watch. (pretty sure he got a super hefty ban if the floor got their way

Haha yes thats me I thought that was you after I gave it back, but wasn't sure.

*edit* I'm the kid that gave you (weaktight) the lighter, not the one kicked out of the poker room. Actually, I WAS asked to leave the poker room for 15 minutes by the floor. Bit that's cause the one dealer was a huge bitch and after she yelled at me for several minutes about a ruling, floor came over and proved her wrong and me right (LOL). She kind of lost it after that and couldn't handle the game, so floor just asked me to leave till she switched tables. Also, floor called her a, and I quote "huge bitch who we've had problems with before" lol
