So I was in Council Bluffs, Iowa this week for the WSOP circuit event. Was playing a side game when the following occured.
They were assembling the final table of the first event and asked all the players to fill out a questionnare for Poker Pages. Under "Greatest poker accomplishment" one of the players put down "Being able to play with Fat Tony, the worlds greatest Omaha player". Fat Tony is a regular at the Horseshoe and a very solid player. Slim catches wind of this and says that he contests that statement and wants to meet Tony. He then challenges Tony to a 25-50 PLO match, and Tony agrees. They make they're way to the table and Slim pulls 100k out of a bag and says he wants to play a freezeout. Tony says he doesn't want to play for that much and they finally agree to sit with 25k. 50 minutes in Tony is felted, asks Slim if he will wait while he runs to reload and he agrees. 30 minutes later Tony returns with 20k. 30 minutes in Tony is up 11k and Slim states he is tired and racks up. Tony is furious, starts cussing him out and the crowd starts booing him. Slim doesn't say shit and is trying to rack as fast as he can. Tony looks like he wants to reach across the table and slam his face into the felt as his friends are trying to calm him. Slim makes it to the cage, cashes out and is a fuckin ghost.
What a piece of shit. Harrahs pays for you to come into town, you challenge a regular to a match and then hit and run.
I wanna punch him in the neck, old crusty motherfucker....get aids.
There has always been some weird sexual tension between phantom and Martha. Micon is lucky that there's a big ocean between you two.
I'm not sure which indignity is worse: - Leaving your wife, shacking up with your former neighbor, and getting cheated on with a guy from your own poker forum, or... - Getting ripped off for $12,000 by a guy with neck tattoos
Either way, Micon needs to be thankful that phantom isn't visiting his girl's land down under.

I have been up here all week. Played with Slim at 5/10 NL for a few hours. He seemed like a good guy, even good natured when his KK ran into my AA. And wouldn't hitting and running be leaving once he was up 25k? Not letting him get 10+k back?
I did hear that he was being pretty rude to the Horseshoe staff about petty things though.

I don't know what the definition of hitting and running is, but, telling a guy you will wait around for him to reload and then call it quits 30 minutes in qualifies in my book. That cocksucker knew what he doing with his aww shucks look on his face as he was racking. You don't call a guy out, make a huge spectacle and then quit a little over an hour in after the guy wins a couple pots.
If you are still playing there and run into him tell him I hope he dies in a silverware accident.

God, since when has this been bad form? I don't play poker to be nice, polite, proper, or a gentleman. We are all in the game for the same reason, and that is to make money. When the hell did the "poker rule book" ever say that "If you win someones money, you have to keep playing and give them a chance to win it back?"
Seriously fuck that. Rack up and go get some grub.
