That has to qualify as a massive bad beat. Sorry to hear that.

One thing I learned is that lawyers make the world go around. Make friends with one or two of them and their networks are so deep. Any major problem that we (our business) comes across we first go to the other partner (securities lawyer) and then go to a friend that works on contingency.

Since this was more of a personal matter and you have nothing to gain and a lot to lose. I'd use a public defender and re-arrange your assets so basically the only thing to your name is your social security card.

A player at the table went to the cashier to get 40 or 50 fairly new $1 bills and began making different objects out of them(boot, tree, elephant, dog, ring, etc.) People at the table would make request and he would make it for them with his $1 bill and give it to them and would not take $1 in return for it. Also would tip the dealer with these objects.
He was there 5 or 6 hours doing this. He probly gave away $40 or more in objects to players at the table.

Fantastic bump. A bunch of really good stories in here.

this is probably the single greatest post i have read on 2p2 thus far

several at the hard rock hollywood. a guy ended up chopping a pot with a straight on the board or something but on the river player A bet $40 and player B said "call" but never slid out $40. the dealer pulled in the $40 and then started chopping the pot, even though the entire table was telling him to give the guy back his $40. the dealer didn't listen and chopped the pot and gave it to player B and player A. player B never said anything either lol. so player A called the floor but the dealer had already dealt the new hand so the floor said there was nothing they could do about it.

In a pub game one time, this bogan (australian redneck) got in a fight over a hand with some guy, pointed his finger at him and goes "you're nothing but a no good ****ing abo (australian n*gger).

**** went down after that....

the strangest thing i have ever seen, or one of the strangest thing ive ever seen, was this one time playing at crown casino, this quiet asian man was sitting with his legs crossed on the table, and every now and again he would duck his head in between his groin area and as I was sitting next to him, i could hear a click click noise lol. I continued disregarding it paying close attention to the game, until he kept his head inbetween his legs for quite some time. this asian man, was biting his toe nails while playing poker lol! what was more disturbing was, he was collecting his toenails!

another strange thing, was this one time in sydney i was playing in the casino, and this arrogrant guy yelled at the bartender to get him a drink, he ordered a red bull, the bartender brought him out the red bull can opened ( common courtesy), he went on to berate the crap out of her telling her how his been poisoned by someone spiking his drink and demanded a closed red bull can. a few moments later this same stupid man orderes a CUP of water. I couldnt help but needle him and say, if your so worried about being spiked, why wouldnt you order a bottle of water.

Was dealing at a 1/2 NLH table before at a poker festival, the banter at the table was great. Everyone was a bit drunk and having a laugh, except this one super nitty Asian woman (and me obv).
On one hand the Asian woman raised (this was the first time all night) and one of the drunker guys said, 'I reraise you... one shoe'. He immediately proceeded to put the Asian woman's own shoe on the table. She looked so shocked, looking from the shoe to under the table and back again. In the spirit of the moment I turned to her and said, 'one shoe to call'. She looked really confused for a minute then burst out laughing and put her other shoe on the table.
(Unfortunately they went back to betting with chips at that point.)

omg I played against that guy at caesars last year late june early july until like 5am. He was at the club and came to play, he was completely stoned and wasted. Good times.

At least was he any good at the table?

I was there since noon already when he arrived at like 3am, our tables merged as many people were leaving and it looked like he was spewing like crazy. When I left at 5am he was down to he had put his last money on the table, I believe like $200. He must have lost a good thousand beforehand, not sure exactly.

I, like a donkey, was playing tired and spewed $1k away to this tight asian dude when I was obviously behind, and did not win a single pot against Mr Vampire or the other 2 drunk dudes who were going all-in for thousands with pretty much nothing just to see who had the biggest balls. Meanwhile this young guy from canada decided to call his Ex GF at 4am.

Fun table.

hahaha, hilarious.

I had a guy playing poker on his phone while slowing the action down on the table..

Trying to play a live tournament and the action being slowed by a guy that literally turned 180 degrees between hands as was multi tabling some online donkaments on a big laptop. He was an ultra fish who thought he was above everyone else that made the display even more infuriating. Kept describing interesting hands to us he was playing as well, and I **** you not he laid down AA preflop was one of his laydowns online because there were too many people in the pot. He seemed really frustrated that he had to make the right play and lay down AA. wtf

Weird seeing a thread about a guy crapping his pants at Borgata because someone crapped his pants at my table at Borgata a couple years ago and got thrown out but I don't think it was the same guy per the description.

One of the weirder things I saw a few years back a Russian guy was mad at a floor ruling at Tropicana and began cursing at the dealers and floorman so he was asked to leave by security. He yelled "Never want to see Tropicana again!" and slammed his bag of potato chips on the table as he stormed off. Then another guy picked up the bag of potato chips and ate them.

I LOLed

No idea how this compares to other stories ITT but:

Was once sitting in the Bellagio next to this man, mid 40's wearing these extremely weird and large sunglasses. Upon further inspection, they also had headphones attached, and he was actually watching a movie with his sunglasses on. He'd pause every time he was dealt a hand, throw his hand away (tight as ****), and then go back to his movie. I thought this was so bizarre.

was at a table with a guy who was pleasuring himself at the horseshoe hammond one night. he was a huge fish with a big stack so i didnt really want to say anything. after he lost a few hands i told the floor and they came by and made him knock it off.

That is some really strange stuff

good way to stay patient I guess.

Was it Tony Bigcharles? Oh wait he got caught doing that in Vegas.

my first year of poker, playing 2-5nl at foxwoods, there is this fat old guy apparently a reg there with about 3k in front of him i have about 650 or so in front of me and young kid has 700. hes in every pot and hes f'king everyone over. he limps every hand, so he limps in ep a younger kid limps i make it 30 in late position with QQ. flop comes down Q37 rainbow.....i bet 50.. old fat man calls. and the kid calls as well turn comes 5 , it goes check check to me, i bet 115 old fat man calls, and younger kid says make it 275. i snap shove my remaining 450 or so in the pot, , old guy tanks and says "ya ya i call" younger kid quickly jams his 500 or so in the pot. old man calls 50 more obv at that point .......i flip over top set, young kid tables 33 for bottom set, old guy doesnt show his hand, im thinking whatever i got this pot, will be my biggest pot ever. river 4, im getting ready to take in massive pot thinking no way this guy has a 6 in his hand. he looks at us and says sorry kids, tables a6 offsuit. i say WHAT THE FK are u doing. he says playing poker, i say u f'king ignorant piece of chit. floor comes flying over and i get banned for 24 hours from the poker room. good times....


haha my other one is pretty good too, its about 2 yrs ago in vegas. im playing a deep stack at the venetian during wsop time, after about 6-7 hours i get moved to a seat next to tiffany michelle, that ub stank pro(ho) and directly across from one of my good buddies that i was staying with. after a couple orbits its very obvious the fish at the table is an older man 60 or so, hes limping a ton and over betting 4-5x with his stronger hands. well there are 2 fish at the table because tiffany michelle is limping a7 off ep and trying to outplay ppl, didnt know she was this bad. anyway a couple hours go by and me and my buddy are chipped up big and so is the old man. i believe we all had about 70-80k bb around 1200 i believe....cant recall exactly. anyway a couple fish limp in including the old guy. i had been very aggressive 3betting, popping up the limpers, ppl were getting annoyed. 2nd limper only had 25k or so...i pick up QQ on the button i think i made a pretty large bet around 5500. old guy and shorter stack flat call. flop comes J65, short stack checks, and old guy bets out 25k, huge bet, i snap shove about 80k, he snap calls, tiffany michelle turns to me and says NH, i just give her a dirty look knowing there are 2 cards to come. BAM turn ace!!!!! i dont know what came over me. i have this mountain of chips in front of me which shoulda been doubling. this was my last tourney before i was leaving vegas, we were like 10-15 spots from the money, my blood was boiling, frustration at its max, then it happened I PUT MY FIST THRU THE mountain of chips, they went flying all over the place knocking over multiple stacks including my buddies directly across from me. i immediatley grabbed my headphones that were attached to my phone and scurried away/ 2 mins later realizing the phone had disconnected from the headphones and i had left my phone in the cup holder, i later found out that a 5k chip had flown off the table and nailed someone in the head on another table. also my buddy said tiffany michelle was very scared i was gonna come back looking for my phone with a gun and blast everyone at the table or just do something crazy. security was too slow and i was out the building quick. but couldnt get ahold of my friend to ask what happened to my phone so i waited till the break and went back in, went up to the empty table w dealer sitting there asking for my phone, he said idk talk to security , which i did and they gave me my phone and a lifetime ban. i tried last year to get it revoked. after weeks of trying to reach the right person they finally told me they wouldnt lift the ban.

oh what a country you live in.

you are an a.s.s
