Seen a small Asian guy hit a 60 year old drunk with a rack for patting him on the back at CAZ.

Best part was when the old man got up and kicked the asians ass that was at least 35 years younger, and sober.

Learned something that night. The floor actually cannot break up the fight. They must try to protect everyone else, but wait for the police to break up the fight.

Sitting at Pechanga one friday night near the higher center tables when a tournament was finishing up (they almost always finish on the top tier tables). There was this youngish guy (late 20's - early 30's) there that was drinking it up and having fun with a few buddies in the room. He was talking up a storm but not being aggressive or out of line. All of sudden you hear "Shut The F UP" from the guy to his left at the table. Everyone looks then goes back to playing. 3 minutes later there is a "I said SHUT THE F UP" and the guy knocks him to the floor with a right cross to the jaw. Drink tables flying and broken glass. The assaulter runs for the exit at the poker room. Problem is the poker room is on the second story of the casino and you have to exit through the casino on the bottom floor. Guy never made it down the stairs before security knabbed his a$$.

Saw 1 quick fight at The Excalibur poker room and one incident there that saw two guys asked to leave complete with a whole bunch of security escorting one of them out.

1st one was at the NL table next to mine and a guy at the table and a railbird get into it. Guy on the rail was smoking and the guy in the game was asking him to blow his smoke somewhere else. Can't remember exactly what happened after that but food was thrown and the guy at the table stands up and the railbird hits him right in the eye. Security is there in about two seconds and the guy from the table is bleeding pretty good from above his eye and they are both being escorted out!

The other one was when a drunk is playing and talking like he is god's gift to poker. Wearing a hat and sunglasses at a 2/4 game where everyone else is pretty much having fun. He keeps picking on one guy at the table who is middle eastern and keeps beating the drunk. The middle eastern guy finally tells the drunk to watch his language (he keeps swearing) and the drunk keeps telling him that he wants to take him outside and "kick his AZZ"!! Just about them the floor walks over as the middle eastern guy has enoug and just tells the drunk to "Shut UP". Floor proceeds to call security and is kicking them both out. Drunk goes to the bathroom, to puke, and I go over to the floor guy, who is walking back to the desk by now, and tell him that the middle eastern guy was certainly NOT out of line and should not be getting thrown out. He comes back to the table and asks what the others thought and everyone says that drunk was the aggressor and there is no way the other guy should be 86'd. Floor come back a couple of minutes later and lets us know he talked to the middle eastern guy and told him what the table said he was welcome to stay. He still left but came back and thanked us all, shook hands, collected what used to be a bunch of the drunks chips and left. Not really a fight but it got pretty intense for awhile. I think if the drunk would have gone after the other guy everyone at the table would have gone after the drunk as well!

The exorbitant rake acts as cover charge.

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...

I've put in thousands of hours in poker rooms and I've never seen a real physical altercation. I see all kinds of posturing, lots of puffed out chests and language that'd make a longshoreman blush, but nobody has ever taken a swing at anybody. I've actually counted my stacks a couple times so I'd know how much was there in case bodies started tumbling over tables, but it's always been defused by the floor or a cadre of security dudes. This just isn't fair. I shouldn't have to buy a ticket to UFC to see a good street fight.

I watched a similar fight (attempt to fight)in July and the Excalibur security walked the guy pretty hard before it was over. Sometime between July 14th-16th. The money I saved with the Poker rate was not worth the 5 or 6 hours a day in that room.

You need to play more in LA. Also I know of a great fight that took place at a poker club in Canada minutes before I got there. I left and checked into a hotel becasue it looked like it would take hours to clean up. I guess an NHL player (at the time the name was kind of familiar, but I am not a hockey fan) got in a fight in a poker club.

Silver Star maybe a year ago.

Drunk redneck guy is drinking one shot of Crown and one beer as fast as the waitress can bring it, say 3 maybe 4 an hour. Drunk guy has 1/2 the table tilting and is talking all manner of crap when this good ole boy from South Alabama takes exception to one of his “you must be slow or something” comments. I see it coming and wanting to keep the peace I stand up like a [censored] and try to talk him out of pounding this drunk and getting get kicked out. He checks up but the floor is called and they're both told to cash out, at the same time. Anyway, the drunk guy (I'm told by a dealer friend because I have my back to the action) ask the big guy (twice his size) if he wants to go out side and get his ass kicked. To which he replies "nope" and he lays the drunk out at the brush stand. I didn't see it but the sound of the punch was amazing.

That had to hurt.
