There is a regular player at the Mirage who can't see and has a partner who tells him his hole cards. the board cards, bet amounts, chip stacks, etc.

Same guy.

He plays good. Though, most of my experience with him is in the 20-40 limit game.

His name is Hal, I played with him for about 3 hours day 1, he was down to ~15k for a good amount of time, and was playing exceptionally tight, ended the night probably 45kish. Real nice guy, as is his seeing-eye man, (?).

When I first sat at the table, I had about 130k in chips, easily more than double anyone else at the table. His SEM looks at my rack of chips nervously and then whispers in his ear about the kid with a mountain of chips sitting in seat 4. A few hands later, he tells Hal that "Avalanche man" has won another pot, add to the mountain of chips, and that was my name for the rest of the night.
