2004? Idk, something like that.

I go to Vegas for a convention, don't bring any money, not intending to play. Obv I skip the convention to go to Bellagio. Max ATM withdrawal is $300, lol, donk 1/2 and run hot for $1500.

10/20 opens, whatever I'll sit short. Literally double first orbit blind/blind when the dude doesnt wanna chop and I have AA vs his AK.

Cool. I win more, end around $7000 for the day.

Next day play again and win 5000 first session and 6000 later that night. Running good and game playing like play chips.

Next day I'm winning again. I'm running the table, Grey Hoodie dude (Bob) sits covering all (no cap then) and instantly takes the game over. Bunch of hands where he clowns me.

Effective stack 8k

QQ UTG+2, I bump to 60, two calls, Bob bumps to 300, I 4b to 950, he calls.

flop J45r he checks I bet 600, he c/r to 1800... I tank for a bit then shove. Terrible, I know, but 2004 this is the nuts nobody plays streets we just value jam/bluff huge.

Bob makes really ugly face, like he smells my ass, finally shrugs and calls with KK and scoops. This sends me tilting, I leave and go to Wynn, end up getting in heads up match against the ponytailed comic book slob from the simpsons who wrecks me.

I go to the pit and lose the rest at BJ, pit boss actually pays for my cab.

Fly home, literally, and I mean really for real I sit down and turn on TV and ****ING HARALABOB ON TV GETTING 2ND TO "THE GRINDER" (Bet he wants a new nickname now lmao) for like a million dollars WPT.

Turn to wife, "I tried to move this guy off Kings for like 15k pot". "Did it work?". "Nope."

for any young guys this is accurate. i started playing around this time and basically didn't play turns until 2006 or rivers until 2008

He will insist he wanted out of his contract but it's actually fairly impressive the amount of chaos he created for someone in that role. Good riddance.

Well you're at least partially right:

Haralabos Voulgaris
@haralabob
I haven't commented since the season ended. Just for clarification I asked to be let out of my contract, was denied. Since then I've been waiting for my contract to expire.

He's all in crypto now.

Major #China banks have recently increased their handling of customers suspected of trading virtual currency.

Anyone from #China that had #Bitcoin transaction using their #Bank accounts will have their account suspended and need to present to branch for explanations.

Haven't listened to the podcast yet but sounds interesting. Also not surprised that Cuban basically hired him to cause some disruption.

Bob doesn't come off well in that article. Not sure if it's misrepresented bc haven't listened to the actual podcast.

Ya think he almost always comes off a bit narcissistic but he admits it and is aware, saying "im an acquired taste" He def wasn't afraid to trash most of the Mavs staff except Rick Carlisle and Cuban. Think he felt betrayed and labeled as competition to most his other coworkers which turned him off. Def was a good listen as it kinda pulled the curtain back on an NBA organization. I didn't realize he had been working or helping out with the Mavs as early as 2010. Sounds like he was one of the main reasons they traded up for Luka and thats why Bob became more involved with the team.

Prolly a good breakup. Put more basketball people around Luka and get Bob back to his true passion: sneering at those less rich and intelligent than him

When doe he not? He's apparently capable of pissing off your best player and then blames other coaches for not standing up for him by clarifying the situation on his behalf.
