What ever happened to good manners and Class in poker?

While not excusing the bad behavior of the drunks, the fault here seems to mostly fall on Rio security for not keeping enough space between the table and the crowd. If the report is accurate, they were too close.

Some fans go too far with the free beer offered at the Milwaukee's Best No-Limit BAR.....
Is there free beer the whole main event or soemthing?
this is awesome.

clayton - If they were reaching so much over her that she couldn't even stand up one assumes they probably made phycial contact with her too (probably an elbow on her head or shoulder or something).
If so then that's pretty bad.

But I think all this high-fiving stuff and most of the screwming stuff every time you flip-over AA or catch your 3-outer is really silly.

But it's also gotten to the point that I'm kind of used to it because if you watch one of the older WSOP or other tournament footage its absence is pretty conspicious.


As far as telling your own posse to 'tone it down' I'm somewhat reminded of Hachem telling the crowd to 'shhh, it's not over yet' when he was all-in with Dannemann with a couple cards to go.
So I do think it can be done.

Without having seen the sitation though it's hard to say how much of the player himself is really at fault here. Security and the obnoxious crew themselves have to accept the bulk of the responsibility.
I do think the player could make SOME effort in such a situation but he certainly can't be entirely to blame.

drankards and nobrains in the rail, that must be a first...

Harrah's should give the players plenty of space between the railbirds and fans in the crowd...another flaw, imagine that

WTF are you talking about? When were the 'good old days' when there was never anything disrespectful done at a poker table? Some people are [censored]. Those people have always existed. Bevavior like you described has nothing to do with the state of poker today and everything to do with people being retarded.

Thanks for another great post cincylady!
