He is a regular in Vegas. All the dealers know his shtick and he never gets away with it. Also he loves to cry racism every 15 minutes. Like the dealer asks him whether he wants to split or double his 8's and he'll act all offended and be like "would you ask a white guy that?" kind of routine. But it is fun to watch unless you are actually at his table and then it just slows the game immeasurably (which can be good for theoretical ratings if you are trying to slow play $1-2k bets per hand).
I've never played with AI but have been in a high limit room at a table next to his. I didn't follow all the action but he flipped out on the dealer several times, cursing, etc. His handlers and pit bosses constantly trying to calm him down. I don't even think he was losing one time -- I recall he was winning big. But he was very drunk.
Played with Jermaine O'Neal (very nice) and Vin Baker (less nice). I play high stakes a lot and 95% of the sports guys I've played are what you'd expect. They show up, play huge stakes, lose a ton and could care less. And they are friendly as hell.
