Story as told from dealer- Nelly flops a set of 8's and gets it all in against AK nut flush draw.

Guy makes flush and stiffs dealer for 50k pot. Nelly tosses dealer $50 tip while chastising player for not tipping dealer.

Dealer says that Nelly is a decent player and puts in alot of hours of live NLH.

didn't this hand take place months ago?

I think there was already a thread on this.

One of them bumped into me one time while I was racking out, spilling some of my chips on the floor. This giant, thug looking dood says "oh man, I'm sorry sir. So sorry, let me help you pick those up". I of course refused the help for obvious reasons

Huh? What were the obvious reasons?

Just letting someone I don't know pick up my money. I doubt any of those guys would care about stealing a pickle ($25) or two, but I'd rather not worry about it.

I've hung out in the VIP areas of Vision and Compound in Atlanta quite a few times, he was at Vision one time with his some of his "crew" or whatever, they all seemed pretty cool. Most rappers are actually pretty down to earth and cool in person, as long as you approach them the right way. I've met Jeezy, TI, Akon, Farnsworth Bentley, and a few behind the scenes people, none of them were anything but cool. Athletes seem to be either total d-bags or really nice, most actors(and Hollywood people in general) are jackasses from what i've seen.

also, lol at thinking one of those guys would take some of the chips you dropped

I have heard from lots of dealers and players that Nelly is a super nice guy at the tables, fun to play with, and surprisingly good at NLH (prob not a winner at the stakes he plays, but rarely the worst player at the table).

David said Nelly was pretty good but also impatient
