who was the big black guy at WSOP cash games?
 

he played in the high limit sectioned off area of the Rio. he was about 300lbs, flashy shirts, talked a lot. was he some former rapper or former sports star?

i was there for a week in June and July so i assume he was there almost the entire time.

just curious.

Re: who was the big black guy at WSOP cash games?
 

I know who youre talking about... he is a limit specialist who plays 30-60 for a living. He basically lives in the bellagio poker room and plays very straight forward ABC poker. Ive never seen him turn up a bad hand at showdown. Plays very tight.

everything about him made me think he was in the music business. i think that's the image he wants to project or something close to it.

not so much a stereotype but an obvious guess

Most likely Biggie Smalls. Always playing the highest limits at the Rio. He's a rap artist. http://www.temple.edu/photo/photogra...cards/big1.JPG

he called me white boy and then called me an idiot for 3 betting 10 10 on the puck vs an ep raiser playing 8 handed 1-2

Re: who was the big black guy at WSOP cash games?
 

aparently he's a former drug dealer and the fbi watches him and [censored], too lazy to bring up the thread

he wears a 20k+ jacob and at the B he sits with a handful of flags and 2 racks in any limit game he plays, dude likes to show off

he also tips a lot from what i've seen

Re: who was the big black guy at WSOP cash games?
 

he mildy berated me once too. i raise a7o and he 3bet and some clown called from the blind. flop was like 1073 monotone and checked around. turn was a q and i bet and he called. river was an ace and i bet and he agonized and called with kq then was upset i bet the turn.

his comments were as mild as they come esp considering what the vegas locals usually say to me but i guess he felt bad about it. later he came over and apologized and we did black person handshake.

Re: who was the big black guy at WSOP cash games?
 

I think OP was joking when he asked if it was a former rap star.

I've only been to Bellagio once, I played 15/30, and I'm pretty sure I played with that guy. He talked a lot but seemed pretty nice, and he's pretty solid. One hand I raised on the button with AK, flop was QTx, everyone checked to me, turn was J, three people checked to him and eh bet, I raised and when it was folded back to him he called my hand and folded.

Re: who was the big black guy at WSOP cash games?
 

i was kind of curious who he was too, he was too. Dressed so flashy and there everyday a guy just wants to know.

Re: who was the big black guy at WSOP cash games?
 

Had to be Teddy. Teddy is classic, great player, just ask him he'll tell you all about it.

In fact, even when you don't ask you're gonna hear all about how good he plays...oh I killed 'em last night, man....you don't wanna gas me up, kid!

going into the series there were some good stories of black teddy, so i was happy to play in some ring games this year and look over and be like "yup, thats black teddy" because its hard to miss a 250 lb cedric the entertainer lookalike wearing a $25,000 watch and playing with a fortress of chips in a limit game.

Re: who was the big black guy at WSOP cash games?
 

i played with him a bit -- he plays solid.
likes to talk a lot, and isn't shy about berating people...he never berated the fish at our table though so he's not a complete idiot.

Re: who was the big black guy at WSOP cash games?
 

Teddy is definitely typical Vegas. Flashy clothes but nitty play.
