Last month in a 5/10 game at Venetian, he built 800 into ~1900 somehow and has his chips racked up to leave, opens to 40 UTG, gets 1 caller, MP makes it 170 with about 1100 total, Iceman shows guy next to him his hand, then folds, saying "I'm not gonna get trapped". Other guy folds, Teddy gets up to leave and says he folded KK, obv we all laugh, but when he leaves, guy he showed says he did indeed show him KK, and he thought Teddy was kidding about folding, and he was just in shock.
Straight nit baller, yo.
It takes a solid player to be able to fold Kings preflop and not get trapped.
I played with the Iceman the other day at the Venetian. Iceman was actually a pleasure to have at the table.
Anyways, he walked away from the table for a bit and comes back and points to an older man and says "That old man just challenged me to a heads up battle!"
A kid to his left quips back with "What at 4/8!??!"
The entire table exploded in laughter. Iceman took the zinger in stride.
I fear the day the Iceman goes well and truly busto, if such a thing exists for a shady character like Teddy. Seriously, where does he honestly get his money from? There needs to be an 'Iceman Fund' made up of voluntary contributions from the poker community so he can keep freezing fools at the tables till the day he dies. We dont know how good we have it with the constant stream of hilarious stories about this sick freak. One day it could all be gone. Have we learnt nothing from black friday? We must protect the Iceman. (just the iceman, doug lee can GTFO)
