Seat 2. Gabe Thaler. Hardly needs an introduction, at least for anybody who is familiar with live NL cash games 25/50 and higher. It is worth mentioning that he is now banned from Bellagio?

From what I recall, everybody love Thaler and says he's super nice. This one should be interesting.

I believe Gabe Thaler was barred from the Bellagio for hustling Bellagio players over to the Venetian. A bad move on his part as he needs access to the Bellagio to ply his trade. By the way I agree with Bellagios stand in this.

As somebody mentioned before, Gabe is not the belligerent type, and he's pretty big on etiquette (see the bit about 'Danny Woo' in my post). I think he was banned from Bellagio due to his efforts to have a big NL game over at the Venetian, rather than an altercation.

what is poor etiquette about having someone that bet on the river either show their hand or muck?

so you were one of the railbirds who kept infringing upon my omaha game last night.

that srsly was wtf territory. we're playing 1-2 eight or better in the corner and have to call the floor over like three times because people kept slamming into our chairs and making it impossible to stand up.

[censored] railbirds, ever seen another human being before?

This concludes my little report from the Rio. It was a fun game to watch, and I wish I had been able to get a seat in it and participate from a less passive perspective.

Showing his hand right away with an "oh man sorry what'd you have there, the straight?" is just a lot more friendly
