BTW... it always amazes me that poker players who have made and descent living in the past + win gobs of money at poker stress out over a $2 tip. I would have given the guy a $20 a $5 and said thanks :-)

That's pretty insulting. The original tip offered was very reasonable, even on the high side. A successful poker player is certainly no more affluent than a ton of other people who could be in that cab. The cabbie was obviously working a little mini-con to try to squeeze out a little bigger tip. This is kinda funny, and is in the report for amusement purposes. Bob in no way "stressed" over it, he gave the guy a couple extra bucks for his effort and had a cute story to tell. The point is that the cabbie had a lot of cheek, which actually is kinda fuuny.

I'm going to be the arrogant nosy bastard... what type of deal do you high stakes ballers work out when someone stakes you $20K?

40% of wins... no repay on the loses? 50/50 with a make-up?

I'm not familiar with the cash-game stakes.... obviously no one would stake my azz.

Jesus Man... I was making an observation about his observation of a cabbie observing that he could squeeze a few extra bucks... that's all.

I recognize the 1 seat as a French-Canadian fellow that I had met last year. I tell him he talks funny, and he immediately remembers me. He is a very nice fellow. We chat and have a good time and he rapes me in a pot where he makes the nut flush vs. my q-high flush where neither of us should have been in there because it was a time pot but we weren’t paying attention. Bleh.

Great report! That guy must be Marcel, a Borgata pro. You can't run him off the hand but he will pay you off more than he should. He raises preflop too much but plays quite well after flop.

Wrong guy. He is probably talking about the young French-Canadian kid, very quiet and polite, who is a serious internet pro... used to multi-table six games of 100/200. He played mostly Party and went by the screen name "callmedownfish". I've played with him at Bellagio. He's a math oriented kind of player.
