It's well known they only give out winning accounts to the youth demographic. All other accounts are rigged to lose slightly, so if he is old and winning anti~ is probably one of the best players on the net. Give him some respect.

Male or female (the outgoing player), it's just not right what happened here.

you clearly only give a [censored] because she is a female (esp. given your posting history). as far as further comments are concerned, I think you are a horrible poster who adds nothing to this forum and you should just stop posting in general (whether females or males are concerned).

is there something wrong with being more disgusted with this because it was a female who had been busted?

From pictures, it looks as though the players barely had room to breathe, so it's not surprising. When I read that last night I thought "What a bunch of pricks!". If these guys want to act that way, maybe the rail should be electrified.

Does it matter that Maria is a girl? Yeah it does. I wouldn't like seeing it happen to anyone, but it is still somehow worse in this case. If that makes me sexist, fine. Sue me.

Would these jackasses feel the need to treat Doyle Brunson that way? What about Chad Brown (or his girlfriend for that matter)? In that case I'd support Chad if he passed out a few chair-hats.

Obviously Maria wasn't all that upset about it or she would have called the police.

When casino security fails, calling the LVPD is the correct move. Since she didn't call them, it might have been annoying, but evidently not as bad as you are making it seem. At least in Maria's eyes.

If Maria Ho was ugly, nobody would be bitching about this.

I didn't hear anything about Maria Ho complaining to anyone about it. How didn't she handle it like an adult?

And that's a lot more than mildly rude.

Believe it or not, there are people who don't want anyone to be treated disrespectfully, even women who aren't attractive.

I'm waiting for someone's sloppy-drunk posse to hurt somebody and the victim to sue Harrahs for overserving.

Posses of current/ex/wannabe fratboys bug me in the first place. Add free beer, and as in the outside world it's a recipe for disaster.

Um, yeah. Especially when you try to deflect the obvious by saying that it doesn't matter, when in fact, its the only part of this story that MAKES it a story. People have been congratulating their friends on huge wins all the time. If she couldn't get up for five whole seconds (ZOMG!!! STOP THE PRESSES!!!1!!eleven), then she could have sat there, shook hands with the people next to her, and left 5 seconds later to get her nice little check.

I would be willing to bet she didn't give a damn herself. Its some whiny "reporter" and an even whinier OP.
