I was at the same table. Rocco was upset that the 800-1600 limit hold-em players were getting special treatment which he didn't get. What seat were you in?

You were at the 5/10 table or the 10/25 table? I was playing 5/10. I was the guy with glasses in the 5 seat (i think it was 5). Were you at that table? What time were you playing?

Also, Rocco played at a couple of 5/10 tables. Pretty sure he was an a** at all of them.

I have played with this guy twice and he didn't seem horrible. He was blabbing about the 2-4 when I was there with him last weekend though, which was kinda dumb. The regulars at the Borgata are kinda a funny group though (in the 5/10nl at least) because they are getting treated a lot better at the Borgata than they would be at a lot of other rooms, yet they perpetually complain about something.

He moved to my table and was directly to my left. There were 6 limpers or so. I complete in the sb. He makes it 110. Everyone folds to the button. He thinks for a minute, then folds. I fold.

The guy to my right says something like "I should've come over the top, I know he had nothing." I tell him that he should've if he had a hand, and we discuss it for a minute.

Rocco overhears my conversation, and, without anything more, says, in the most sarcastic, a**-like voice, says "when your book comes out, can I get an autograph?"

I had been warned by a few people about him, so I decided to be a d.ck back to him. I said "I don't remember saying anything to you. Pretty sure I was just talking to the guy on my right."

Rocco tells me I should stop being a [censored] wiseguy. I tell him he's the [censored] wiseguy, he started with me, blah blah blah.

He tells me "I don't know who I'm dealing with." I tell him I know exactly who I'm dealing with, and that's the whole point.

Eventually, it gets dropped. But at every table he moved to, he started something. I could hear him from a few tables over no matter where he sat. Total c.cksucker who deserves to get punched. I hope someone does it.

I guarantee the rest of the table saw two people with room for improvement, not one. Rocco's behavior should be no higher than second place in your mind.

People who discuss strategy at the table irritate me too.

Me too... especially in a game like this. Do we really need to be discussing re-squeezing at the table? Anyway, I have heard him and others make the exact same joke when I played with them a few weeks ago and no verbal bickering followed. Also, my impression of Rocco was that he was a bit nittish/TAG - so he probably had a good hand here a lot of the time...

Sounds like the OP needs at attitude adjustment but doesn't know it. The villain is perceived to be a known idiot, now that we all know that its really a non-topic. But the OP sounds like he is looking for an excuse to continue to cause trouble after a small argument at the table.

Advice for the OP - learn to control your ego. This isn't a peen size contest, don't let it become one and you will be much happier.
