Indeed. Verra Spensiff

For some reason Youtube recommended this video for me.... Must have known that we were talking about him:

Its kind of embarrassing but again, it works for him.

The ice man is so baller! I recently seen him freezing fools at the Wynn, he should be cast in the next batman movie.

He just scammed English grammar.

the man is not to be trifled with, he personally elevated the game for amateurs, he makes the tourists laff....he is good for the game. it has been decreed.

what's his ice bucket challenge

My most interesting 45 minutes in the Venetian poker room came in January of 2013. Playing 2/5, good full table, fun couple from Texas to my left. The empty seat 10 returned after being gone for approximately 45 minutes, Iceman was back. He dominated the table, from a talking perspective, and I had the good fortune of sitting directly across from him. I'm not sure what prompted him to look me in the eye and ask, "do you know who I am? Do you watch TV?..." and I responded I had no clue who he was, but I could tell from his bedazzledness that he was someone special. This led him into a rant about all the things he knew, including who killed 2pac, who was the best jeweler in town, his luxury condo with all of his 4 pound ankle biting dogs, and other general banter for the duration of my stay.

It was high value. The headphones, chain and watch were all very impressive. The next day, he asked my friend if he could borrow $200. He needs a reality show.

One day he told me that he had to start using the gold lounge restroom because he can't even take a piss without being bothered.

I told him to just take his headphones off.

Embarrassing? He breaks down the ole' ice man system in detail.

No lessons on playing poker, you simply buy a calendar and start checking off winning days. If you have 22 winning days a month you are "a successful poker player".

He also thinks on a level most of us could never get to.

Lol is ice still grinding 2/5 in Vegas. Ice gonna ice

^^^ Without getting into the fact that you can make very solid $ playing 2-5 for a living, "grinding" denotes making $ in a game, usually trying to make a living. Bedazzleman does not make $ in a 2/5 game, or any no limit game for that matter. He just bleeds off chips for a few hours between his 20-45 minute breaks from the table and from time to time doubles up then tuns into Broomcorn's uncle. About a year ago I was in a 5-10 game with him at Venetian and he had doubled up to about $1800, and had his chips racked up to go for the previous 20 minutes when he raised UTG to $35, got a call, and an aggressive guy with ~$1500 reraised to $145 from mid position. BM hem's and haws about how huge his hand is for about a minute, shows his cards to the guys next to him, then folds and walks away from the table, saying he had kings. Other guy folds, and we laugh, and 3 people at the table verify that he did, indeed just fold kings.


Anyway, the legend continues, and grows. I heard from two separate sources that Bedazzleman won the BBJ at Red Rock Casino yesterday for about $40k. Can't wait to hear how skillfully he played the hand and somehow made the BBJ happen by his own brilliance.


That said, slightly interesting/funny experience with Bedazzleman a few weeks ago at the Wynn. I move to a new 2/5 table, empty seat with chips in front of seat 2. 10 minutes later guy comes back, it's Teddy. He goes on for the next 45 minutes to anyone who will even half listen to him about himself, how he's one of the best players in the world, how he runs a music prduction company and is teaching people how to rap, etc, etc. It takes some serious zen for me to stick it out in the game and not say anything, but then, as he is folding to a completely standard raise, this exchange happens:

Bedazzleman: Do you know who you're betting into? I'm one of the top 5 players in the world.
Daliman: How can he NOT know, you say it every 3 minutes. (Table chuckles)
BM: Oh, you're funny huh? Well, I'll tell you something I DO know, for sure, and I'd bet a million dollars on it; You're down lifetime at this game right here, poker.
DM: Well, you'd lose that bet.
BM: No, I know, you're down at poker lifetime.
DM: OK Teddy.

5 minutes later I win a 4 way allin pot for ~1900, maybe 1300 profit.

DM: Teddy, NOW I'm up lifetime at poker. (Table chuckles again)

I tip dealer $3

BM: Man, how you gonna drag a big pot like that and just tip $3? If I drag a pot like that, I tip at LEAST like $12.
DM: If I tipped $12 I would no longer be up lifetime at poker.

Teddy laughed along with the table at that, but was pretty quiet for the remaining 10 minutes he was at the table before silently racking up and leaving.

Thanks for the awesome post Daliman! Good stuff, as usual. Like you said, the legend continues...

Here is the facts:

Yes The Ice Wizard from the North did get the losing hand of the BBJ at Red Rock yesterday at about 6:15pm. He flopped quad 8's and a nice 2/5 reg in the game went runner, runner - Ben Affleck and JT for a straight flush.

Teddy did a min buy for $300 in the game to start and wanted to sit after the hand but was busted and had to wait to re-enter the game until he got paid from the cage.

The reg (20k straight flush guy) tipped the floor from what I heard and the dealer about 4%. Teddy tipped an iced out 1.5%

These are facts.

Sounds like Teddy's 1.5% tip from the BBJ is right on par with the .923% he would tip on a pot he potentially would make a $1300 profit on

I've played probably close to a thousand hours with him and he tips really, really well which is surprising for how nitty he is.

I wonder if he'll pay back all those $200 loans now.

i love iceman.... daliman u almost made me choke on the chip ahoys bro.

well he wins one pot every 5 hours so he's still tipping less than the rest of the table

It appears I previously posted that Venetian hand in this thread before, ( thought I might have, but didn't check), and misremembered some of the details.

Played with Teddy at Wynn 2/5 a few times my last trip 2 weeks ago.

One funny incident:

He was BB and chatting (as usual), dealer deals out cards and suddenly he yells out "HOLD UP! HOLD UP!" He then proceeds to beg the dealer to let him take back his BB as he suddenly has to leave. Everyone already has cards and some have looked and mucked. For the next 5 minutes he was BEGGING people to declare a misdeal so he could take his $5 back. Dealer was not having it. Eventually he managed to persuade everyone to fold so he and SB could chop.

Racks up and leaves.

i'd snap make it 30 any 2

Awesome.

I was playing 2/5 at RR yesterday... we talked about IM's good fortune, but they also said he was asked to leave the property INDEFINITELY.

What is this guy doing at all these properties that he gets kicked out? He isn't a dick at the tables, he's nice to everyone, no fights. He's annoying but funny at the same time.

Besides the Bellagio flipping quarters what's his deal?

begging for money, trying to sell cell phones at the tables, angling, etc.
