Threatening to sue is a bitch move.

In my experience, people who are going to do something, just do it. They don't threaten to do it. If you want to alter where you play based on that incident, that's your call. Personally, I don't let punks dictate where I play.

The thing is that if he got that bent out of shape with me over a 300 chip pot when it was plain as day I had a decent hand, then what happens if I suck out at a later date, or something else?

I've had people swear at me many times, call me all kinds of names while playing but this was the first time I've ever actually been threatened in a casino. I just thought it was worth a post and a little discussion that's all.

Yes, twice, once we went outside I showed him my Ruger, he walked back in, picked up his chips and left.

The 2nd time Dale Apollo Cook was sitting at the same table and indicated it was a bad idea for him to threaten me.

Don't be scared of him, let him hit you and then collect some money!!! Whenever someone wants to fight me I say "you go right ahead and throw the first punch so I can take everything you own." Typically, if they value money at all, they realize they are dumb and let it go.

Right. Collect money from a degen poker player. When pigs fly.

I have been threatened in a casino and received death threats on my voice mail. I am also pretty sure we have done this thread in the last few months.

This reminds me of my days at Penn when the weanies from Princeton, who couldn't take a little good natured ribbing, would retort, "Oh yeah, well you'll be working for us someday."

But I have the last laugh now. I'm not working for them, and no one makes better Big Macs than I do.

Tell him that you love him.


Degenerate losing poker players really appreciate this type of dishonesty.

I was playing a 4-8 limit game, I check Raised a woman that was 95 and smelled like Cat Pee at the old Trump Riverboat in Gary Indiana a few years back. She told me she wanted to stab me in the face.

Re: Ever Been Threatened in a Card Room?
 

Not sure why you keep referring to a 300 chip pot.

If anything, it seems like the whole sunglasses thing you did and how you got the whole table to laugh at him that did it. I guess he saw that as something humiliating. And people like that typically don't have much other than pride.

Not that you did anything wrong, but I wouldn't say it was smart either.
