Is this the guy I dubbed "Abe the Game Killer" at the MGM Grand when it first opened in the mid-90's? A small guy, always scowling, always chewing out the tourists for not paying attention, or acting out of turn. Runs the game like a strict headmaster, demanding that everyone pay attention to the game, and that no one disrupt the proceedings by--gulp--having fun.

I'd be in the loosest, wildest LLHE games imaginable, then Abe would push in. 30 minutes later, I'm sitting in a rock garden. Nobody wants to play a hand, because every time they do, the dealer finds fault with them, with lots of scowling and disapproval. This guy would simply suck the life out of a good game.

If it's not the same guy, I apologize to the Abe that you mention.

My Abe was the only dealer I ever stiffed. I would set aside any tokes that I would've given, and let them pile up, and use this money to reward the next dealer to sit down, for getting Abe out of my game.
