PA must have changed his style, he's considered a nit by some (ok, not televised though):
Robl went on to say that Patrik Antonius wasn’t allowed in the game: "I left after that but heard from my friend who was playing a HKD$1,000 sit-n-go that Antonius tried to get in but wasn't allowed. He told me that he was watching a hand where a good American player (he recognized him but didn't knew his name) got all-in on the flop for a HKD$3 million pot with ace-king versus jack-ten on three-eight-nine. Two bricks later he scooped the pot and the Chinese businessman reloaded by getting some plaques from his side-table where he had a total of HKD$7,000,000 laying around. Also heard, from a very reputable guy, that foreigners have to pay back 20 percent of their winnings in some cases to the casino."
The reasons for Antonius’ exclusion are not known, though many have speculated in the forums. The most plausible theory is that Antonius is considered too much of a nit, the type of player Macau regulars like to avoid, which would confirm what Rui “PepperoniF” Cao said back in June regarding the high-stakes games in Macau. In his blog on Limpers, Cao previously claimed the following:
“You’re probably wondering who the players are in the game, most regs are Chinese, some are wealthy Chinese. There are also some known players like Durrrr and Ivey . . . Patrik Antonius was virtually banished from the party because he played a little too tight and that he had gained too much [in] props.”
