Post the most viscous fight you have witnessed

[Rococo]

I didn't witness the fight but I have a friend who got into an argument with an old timer at Mandalay Bay. Old timer proceeded to reach underneath the table, take off his prosthetic leg, and hit my friend.

This is a no bull-[censored] story.

Commerce and The Bike have fights all the time. Pretty funny.

Also I know of a great fight that took place at a poker club in Canada minutes before I got there.

That's about what I hear all the time. "Oh, dude, you shoulda been here an hour ago. It took 6 security guys to take this guy out and they had to taser him finally to get him in cuffs. And you know I never knew that people who are tasered sometimes lose control of their bowels--boy that was gross." I always leave an hour too soon or show up an hour too late. Maybe it's that I'm a calming influence on the poker room and people are just less likely to get into altercations in my presence.

This one upset me. I had driven a few hours to get there and when I walked in they were keeping players back beccasue there were chips everywhere and the table had been knocked over. I guess the NHL player took the worst of it in the fight.

'Wow' at all the horrid behavior by supposed adults in card-rooms all across the country.

I just can't imagine getting that upset over something as silly as poker.

Then again, I've had a couple of minor 'incidents' in my rec-league soccer games that I'm not exactly proud of.
And we're all sober and are not playing for money so I'm not really sure what our excuse is there.

This story is at a blackjack table, rather than at a poker table. It happened at Harrah's in Joliet several years back. I'm sitting first base, drunk is second base and guy who is stuck a ton is sitting third base.

Drunk keeps hitting on 15's against the dealer's 6, etc. As a result, third base is literally losing every hand and boldly mentions to the drunk, "Why would you hit there? You just cost me a lot of money!" The hands are dealt again and the same thing happens. This time third base yells at the drunk to which the drunk exclaims, "Shut up!" Third base says, "Don't tell me to shut up, you tell me to shut up one more time and you will be flying out of here like Superman!" Next hand, same thing. Loses a huge split, double down hand. He yells some more and the drunk tells him to "shut up" once again. Third base yells "Don't tell me to shut up!" and at that time the drunk stands up, exclaims "Let's go!" and just blasts him.

Now third base didn't fall out of his chair or anything because the way he was sitting, he absorbed all 100% of the punch. You heard the hit for about a 30 foot radius, it was that loud. After the punch landed, third base got up and they just started exchanging punches. Chairs were knocked over, chips were all over, etc. At about this time, a 5'3 guy from across the room comes flying through the pit area to break the fight up. He stands between the behemoths trying to break it up as they are still swinging. A few seconds later, a bunch of security guards emerge and take control of the situation. One of the security guards has the drunk pinned against the wall and he starts to resist. The 6'5 280lb security guard locks his hand behind his back and doesn't stop applying pressure because now the drunk is wincing in pain.

After sanity was restored, one of the supervisors asked the 5'3 guy why he got in the middle of the fight to which he replies, "I used to be a bouncer."

Adrenaline. Testosterone. Same ingredients at the poker table.

No actual physical contact but it was like 6 am and someone insanely stuck drunk got coffee spilled on him by someone who had just sat down. Drunk guy proceeds to try to smash his beer bottle over the coffee drinkers head. Only problem is all the beer bottles are plastic.

Two years ago at Harrahs in New Orleans during the WSOP circuit event. Young local (kind of thuggish) Asian guy in my 20-40 game had just returned to the table from dinner. He told his friend who was playing over him to get up because he wanted to play (instead of letting his friend wait till the BB got to him). So after some arguing that slowed the game down, his friend gets up; and the Asian guy sits down and tells the dealer to give him a hand.

The Asian guy looks at his hand, and then tries to fold once the action gets to him. The dealer tells him that he can fold, but he still needs to post a BB. (Now the Asian guy was a local that knew the rules.) The Asian guy refuses to put up his BB, and a bunch of people start bitching and the floor is called.

One 20 something in particular is really bitching to the floor about the Asian guy's behavior, and the Asian guy tells the 20 something to shut the [censored] up. After the floor makes the Asian guy post his BB and play continues, Asian guy keeps calling the 20 something a "little bitch."

The Asian guy tilts off all his $ in like 30 minutes with the final blow being struck by the 20 something. What happened next I remember watching it like it was in slow motion. Asian guy gets up out of his seat, grabs his beer bottle, casually walks over to the 20 something, and swings with all of his force, smashes the bottle over the 20 somethings head, and casually strolls out of the poker room.

Security immediately grabs the Asian guy before he left, and the game had to be stopped to clean the table. But the best part is that after giving a statement and getting bandaged up, the 20 something came back and played for another 4 hours.

When I was at the Ballys circuit event during one of the Limit Holdem events last year this 60 year old ex mobster was playing the limit event and yapping the whole time when he said something that prompted a 20 something to tell the old guy to go F-himself, the old guy screamed that nobody talks to him that way, and DOVE OVER the table to get at the youngster... It took 3 floor guys to get the old dude away from the kid.. Grandpa kept screaming how he was going break the kids f-ing legs, etc... all the way out the door...

very exciting...
