is he bankrolled through poker or something else?

The reason him and Mike M. were so mean to each other during the ME was because they had done business together. You know how Mike went to jail right. hmmmmmmmmmm

Yes...Sheikan has been playing fairly high-stakes for awhile now.
but I do know how one could get the impression that he was just a total accident who had never even stepped foot in Vegas before.

Shiekan has been playing high limit cashgames in vegas and LA for years.

rumor has it he owns 1 or 2 tattoo shops and 1 or 2 smoke shops (head shops I assume).

Apparently these are profitable.

My mole over there says that former NBA player Bill Laimbeer was there recently playing some low limit no limit and was a very solid player.

[/ QUOTE ]


Laimbeer is a semi-regular at Greektown (Detroit) in his off season. He plays 2-5 NL.

I heard a rumor that Mr. Dion owes many many millions to Caesars and that this is the reason Celine began singing there. Any truth to this?

[/ QUOTE ]

LOLLLLLLLLLL

I can't believe nobody has responded to this post to laugh at how ridiculous it is. Yeah, Rene is in debt 100mil. In fact Celene is chained in a closet at Caesar's and only gets let out to sing.
