Oddly, this just raised the likelihood for me that this is for real, or that you'll be able to get more people to substantiate it. e.g. doesn't DMoonGirl post on 2+2 from time to time?

of course its real. borg confirmed

RIP Tony Sirico!

Two wong don’t might a right.

Nice catch

This really isn't getting enough love IMO. So much great stuff in just one "photo".



And that's not to make light of the loss of a loved one; my condolences to anyone in this photo that lost someone. It's the alteration and usage of the photo that is worthy of much mockery.

He could have put Doug Lee in that picture in the back.

In 2019, I lent bro $300 and he did pay it back a few days later. I felt comfortable with that since we played cash together almost everyday for months on end.

But then some other regs warned me not to do that again as he supposedly owed other people money or had an alleged reputation/history of slowpaying/not paying.

I specifically remember one reg asking me “Did he get you too?” lol.

Haven’t talked to Jimmy in quite some time now.

At the end of the day you just don’t loan people money if you’re not 100% mentally prepared to charge it to the game when they don’t pay. Problem prevented, before the fact.

Trying to solve the problem after the fact is always just a mess.

Confirmed scammer. He sent me this a while ago claiming he was at his brothers funeral

my favorite part of the photoshopped deathbed picture is that both him and (what i'm assuming is) his wife are displaying positive facial expressions. like, maybe choose a pic of yourself where you're not at the casino having a good time and one where your wife isn't hanging out at the bar? what a complete moron.

what is scammer jimmy "thong" tran wife's name? if this loser jimmy resorts to scamming she's likely doing it as well to support their gambling addictions.

The thought process behind this attempt at a joke appears to be
“He’s Asian and some Asian people have the last name Wong—I mean, he doesn’t, but some Asians do—and there’s an old saying that two wrongs don’t make a right—which doesn’t actually fit this situation in any way but, I mean, wrong rhymes with Wong—and some people who are not native English speakers sometimes have trouble with the rules of English grammar—so I wonder if there might be something hilarious in twisting two wrongs don’t make a right into two Wong don’t make a right…? You know, it seems funny to me so what the hell I’ll post it just in case it actually is funny.”

the caption of that deathbed picture should be: two thongs don't make last rites.

Way to go, thread!

But to be even more hilarious shouldn't the final "right" be verbalized as "white"? Then it would rhyme and have subtle racial overtones.

Actually that’s his brother in the photo so photo is probably legit other than him being photo shopped in. Jimmy was/is friends with Johnny Chan and used to hang out at his place all the time. They had a big tourney one time and I was playing PLO and he came to the table asking if anyone would stake him for the tourney buy in. No one took him up on it but when he left table chatter was definitely never give him $ because there is a good chance you will never get it back. His brother worked there and now works at Legends in Houston. Pretty sure OP’s post is valid.

The best part is the word “Collart” at the lady’s fingertips on the left so people would know the photo editor he used.

Old 2p2 would've had a field day with this. @urbanwaste is on the right track

It's a joke - calm down. Don't be such a snowflake.

Those photoshops are amazing.

True……..this clown is a mother****ing clown! Lol…. Known this idiot since maybe 2008 or so……….i played alot of sessions mostly at Bellagio over the years………mostly 10/20NL + some 5/10NL most recently……..never had an issue with him………except use to see people come up to him at the table and ask him for $ owed……..some yelled and even embarrassed him at the table! So he asked me 1 time and 1 time only to borrow $……….after years of playing with him……..he asked me to borrow $2k as he claimed his wife was out of town and she had all his $ and he would return it within a few days…….of course not! I declined obviously and using the i don’t loan or borrow $ period! So funny thing is………after that day…….he always avoided me and never even said hello as he was obviously embarrassed………so got rid of him ever approaching me ever! And this was probably years after i actually played with him around town in LV……..his wife always hangs around too! She also plays frequemtly……..just saying……..this clown is confirmed a total idiot + degen……..i was around the poker scene in LV for over 15yrs(2004-2019)

People around town and that have been in LV awhile know he is a degen……..it is not a secret……..he is a decent min cash specialist in tourneys though! …..lmao………haaahaaaaa!

Sometimes……..ellipses are overused.

Ohhhh. I get it now. It was a joke. I’m dying laug…wait, what was the funny part.

This, right here, is very funny. That is how you joke.
