Taking notes on a phone in front of him to intimidate him is pretty non-self aware. He doesn't care.
This player is harassing you/bullying you repeatedly and you are posting here looking for what exactly?
You're lucky to have a fish pool to catch from, don't get banned and avoid this guy who doesn't like you personally (he doesn't like how you carry yourself it appears, you also are getting feedback from other relationships about how you carry yourself)
Respecting oneself authentically "like a man" takes time and self comfort and its Ok to not be there yet. Look at your own behaviors around this bully and stand up for yourself when he trys to insult you next. Like others have said, tell him to **** off if he steps on your foot. Give him decent respect don't slowroll him with the nuts. Don't be obnoxious if you win and just read on your phone or whatever. Don't engage with him or try to talk to him just carry your head high and give him no energy

Yes, it is… it's a start.

He definitely leaves some of his own actions out. I figured out who he was after just playing one time with him at his casino and called him out in his thread for behaviors that were obvious to me as the reasons leading to him being disliked by many players (and also bad for the game). None of those have to do with him being a winning player and he's not even close to being the biggest winner there.

In response, he threw a huge tantrum in the thread, saying how I know nothing about him, got the mods to lock the thread for "mental health reasons" and deleted all my posts.

He's also an attorney outside of poker so making himself out to be a defenseless victim who's done nothing wrong is kind of misleading. Bullying/harassment should obviously be reprimanded but it's easier when you have the casino/other players on your side. Poker's super toxic so people will pounce on the least-liked person at the table because they are least likely to suffer consequences.

I find it very hard to believe an attorney would not know how to deal with this situation.

Why you have a vendetta against me is beyond me. Why do you think it’s worth your time to slander me on 2+2? You really don’t know me at all. I get along very well with the vast majority of players in my pools. I’m a very quiet person at the tables in general. I had your troll posts in my thread deleted earlier because they were just that. It’s not fair to to me or my reputation to have strangers smear my name. I told the whole story here. His reactions have been way out of line.

Are you the guy who berated my play for not getting more value out of you at 5/T with two pair who proceeded to bomb my pgc thread for no reason? If so, you seriously need to leave me alone. And yes I do have serious but treated mental health issues which you were exacerbating with your earlier posts.

This is one hell of a claim to make after revealing your ass both online and live, completely unprovoked by anyone.

Yeah I agree, bullying/harassment should always be reprimanded so this should also include you bullying the OP itt too then, right? I do give you credit though it takes a big man to come out and put someone down personally over a poker game.

My point was that the newbie poster has little clue of my overall table presence and is just spewing vitriol for the sake of bullying me. It’s typical blame the victim stuff.

Like I said, I get along well with most players and I’ve made a bunch of poker friends over the years. Noob is painting an inaccurate picture of me and it’s as uncalled for as the harasser in my OP.

This guy sounds very reasonable and obviously knows. If you look at dumbos post history he’s always playing the victim but in his posts he mentions betting out of turn, trying to take his bets back, constantly hit and running, jumping to 5 different games a night to rathole, being an a-hole when he’s losing, being a dick to the dealers, getting into arguments constantly with over 20 different peoples at the casino and it’s never his fault. Literally no one I know in the poker room gets into so many arguments and have so many enemies unless they’re a major d-bag. Many of the biggest winners in the room are well liked and respected by everyone. Dumbo is either delusional that he never done nothing wrong and people just hate him cause he wins or he just straight up lying on this forum to get sympathy. He’s the common deniminater in all these incidents where he claim to be mistreated by players, dealers, and floorpeople and have them threaten to beat his ass. Ain’t nobody has ever threatened to beat my ass or shoot me up at the poker room but dumbo has had that happened to him many times. It’s not them it’s him

What part of what I said was bullying? Name one thing that's untrue or unfair.

If I tell you about all the mental health issues that I have, that you are exacerbating for accusing me of spreading lies, would you feel bad?

You are a lawyer and you should know that it would be libel not slander, and it's neither if it's true. I don't claim to know you but simply making observations based on what I saw. At this point I think you are simply self-unaware, and I was wrong to think that something could be said to change your mind.

I have a vendetta against anyone who's bad for the longevity of the game that's providing a livelihood for myself and many others, and I call them out in person just as well.

Anyway, to bring it back on topic, it's still wrong for someone to step on your feet and call you names despite them finding you unlikeable. I have also called out action players for being abusive to other players and dealers because hey some stuff's above the money. Hope you find a resolution.

Llorton, your only reason for being on this forum at this point is to troll me and exaggerate rare incidents with particularly offensive players who I stood up to. Now shoo again. All of your claims are complete hyperbole as usual.

Huh? I don't see his ass anywhere.
What are you talking about?

"He's not a winning player, he's not even close to being a winner there"

Who cares? He's not arguing whether or not he's winning player there and it has nothing to do with another player berating him.

Either dumbos is the worst person ever or the people from his room are absolutely psychotic. I’m gonna lean towards the latter since absolutely no one responding to OP is denying or even seem to care that he was kicked under the table, which would be an auto-ban in any competently run room.

Or dumbo was never kicked on purpose, the dude might’ve kicked him by accident. When 10 dudes are sitting around a table it happens but dumbo already had beef with the dude and used the incident to support his victim narrative. Everyone’s out to get him according to his posts

Hyberbole means you admit there’s truth to it.

?? What are you talking about? We know that Dumbos is at absolute best a trickle-truther and most likely a chronic liar, and now you want to take his word over multiple people who are not even suspected to be liars? Are you also in correspondence with Nigerian prince over some inheritance?

I'm talking about your post made no sense unless he was mooning everyone.

You said "This is one hell of a claim to make after revealing your ass both online and live..."

I have no idea what else "revealing your ass" could mean, but I assumed he didn't actually show his ass live or online, so your post made no sense.

“Revealing your real personality”

make him a target and try to bust him? 😃

Like I said earlier, these are criminal offenses. If what DT is stating is true, he can be charged criminally for assault for throwing buttons at him and kicking him. His lawyers can supina the camera evidence, DT could even get a good settlement from the property. And furthermore, if the police have to be called on a guest for doing these things to another guest, I would think he would get banned for harassing another player (especially if the previous complaints are documented in the computer).

It's clearly relevant because he was citing himself being a big winner as the main reason that people was harassing him, eg out of jealousy.

Also, reading comp lol. Never said he was not a winning player. Maybe you should read again.

Casino's pretty incompetent at handling these things it seems. I remember reading another thread (or tweet?) recently that some guy slapped the thigh of a lady beside him twice and screamed in her face during a tournament, and they just moved him to another table. This guy probably did the kicking under the table since he knows camera can't pick it up and he can chaulk it up to an accident and make OP look overly dramatic if he tried to complain.

The person being spit at/kicked/gets buttons thrown at him is the one who needs to file the criminal complaint by contacting law enforcement directly, since the casinos won't take that initiative (unless it's a more serious crime). People need to act civil towards each other in the poker room, it's not a class room for preschoolers.

When I used to commute to the city for work, my bus was pulling out of the terminal when he cut off another bus and the other driver stopped in front of us, got out of his bus to speak with our driver who opened up his window and spit at him then drove away. 15 min. later as we got half way down the ramp to the tunnel, we got pulled over and our driver was taken away in handcuffs, probably lost his job too.
