Default who was the big black guy at WSOP cash games?

he played in the high limit sectioned off area of the Rio. he was about 300lbs, flashy shirts, talked a lot. was he some former rapper or former sports star?

i was there for a week in June and July so i assume he was there almost the entire time.

just curious.

I know who youre talking about... he is a limit specialist who plays 30-60 for a living. He basically lives in the bellagio poker room and plays very straight forward ABC poker. Ive never seen him turn up a bad hand at showdown. Plays very tight.

he mildy berated me once too. i raise a7o and he 3bet and some clown called from the blind. flop was like 1073 monotone and checked around. turn was a q and i bet and he called. river was an ace and i bet and he agonized and called with kq then was upset i bet the turn.

his comments were as mild as they come esp considering what the vegas locals usually say to me but i guess he felt bad about it. later he came over and apologized and we did black person handshake.

I think OP was joking when he asked if it was a former rap star.
