hmmm i dont think thats why

Also, if you are an affable gent the whales text you to let you know they want to play.

Are you insinuating that JRB is a fish? Nobody is going to take you seriously if you keep making foolish statements like this.

This post needs more love, being friendly helps but whales do generally want more than friendly...being an action player helps as does judging credit risk...

Merson seems like a complete tool.

coltranedog has spoken about having lots of difficulty getting into the Aria games on Joey's podcast.

It's also clear from podcast interviews that he hardly ever plays or thinks about poker anymore. He still can't get a seat.

Nagh. Take it to the Gaming Commission and let THEM decide if Aria is breaking any rules.

I dealt to him this summer at Bellagio. Friendly, decent action and gave out basketball winners (thanks again).

And yes, that's why I made it clear in second post there's a difference between Bobby's Room and the Aria game.

Yes. Or a bum.

Who does JRB let in the game? I'm assuming Antonio probably gets invited.

Just because the floor and the host can use tactics to manipulate the list doesn't mean that they are not violating the rules. They are not honestly enforcing and respecting the list and instead is manipulating it to hand pick who gets in. There's no transparency whatsoever in how they manage it. So yes, they are actually doing something illegal but there's no mechanism to provide evidence for it.

On the other hand, I am definitely in agreement that pros have a duty to give additional value to the rec players but at the end of the day, the fact that they are hosting this game in a casino with clear cut rules for seating trumps that argument. Not sure why there's such hate against Merson for voicing criticism about being deprived of What he is legally entitled to. Anyone on this thread that actually has the resources to play that game would sing a different tune.

Is there anything that's even right with this post? Pretty sure no one takes posts in NVG seriously :S

JM stay quite bro if JRB hears about this you'll never get into the High stakes games in Iveys room.

JRB has crushed those games for millions and we all know it. You just come off as jealous when you try to call him a fish... projection much?

He wasn't alluding to a poker fish. More a Kanye fish...Bearish if you will.

Tommy gun is Qui Nguyen for those wondering.

they've let Billy Gun play there before, so why not Tommy.

yessssss

This is the reality!

That post should be stickied and framed

This is how "private" games work across the country

Bottom line- if you are good- and don't bring a whale to the game- nothing else matters!

Even if you do bring a whale, if you crush the game, they most likely will just steal your whale and you wont be invited to play next time.

Very true!

jrb told me his sn is trueteller. anyone heard of this name? i dont follow online pokr much

Don't know if JRB played under that SN, but I do know that good players bum-hunted him online.

what's wrong with that? if people don't want you in a game find another.
