I use to play in the regular 5/10 and 10/20 omaha8 games on Ultimate Bet(they rarely go anymore). Another regular in the game was Hollywood Dave and we played a couple thousand hands together over a few months and never really got along too well but also never really got into too big of an argument. When I take a bad beat I will usually say something smart ass or tell people that they play bad or whatever(I'm not saying its right to do but I can't help myself) but Hollywood Dave complains about bad beats far more then any player in that game and as much as any player I have ever played with online for that matter. It seemed like every time I played with him he was in an argument with a different player. The difference between us is that Hollywood Dave represents the site and I don't. I can't imagine Ultimate Bet approving of Hollywood Dave arguing with players but they seem to back him. Here is what happen:
I was in the big blind and had some rags like 5x 9x tx jx and there were two other people in the pot, one of them being Hollywood Dave. The flop came down 3x 2x qx, obv I check and can't fold the hand fast enough when the action comes back to me. The action goes to Hollywood Dave and he bets, the third party calls and I go to fold but miss click the raise button, and both of them call. The turn brings 9x which is the best card in the deck for my rags. Since they had no idea I miss clicked the flop I bet out, Hollywood Dave called and the third party folded. The river brought 9x and once again I bet, and Dave called with queens up and a missed low draw. Immediately I type in that the flop raise was a miss click and he proceeds to call me an "action junkie" and berates my play which starts a huge argument. In the argument I call him "little girl" or "little guy" repeated which must really hit a nerve because he wants to fight me(which is comical in itself because Dave is about 5"6 170 and has said on this radio show that he has never been in a fight and has been punched once in his life). This argument goes on for about five minutes and we are both saying things that are out of line to each other. I played for about a half hour longer then quit for the night but left the table window open to see if he made any more comments about the argument. I checked the box later and he hadn't brought it up but in that time he had got into another argument with another player. After that I closed the window and went to bed and was over it. The next day I started playing and went to chat and a message came up that said my chat had been suspended and an e-mail had been sent to me(which is below). This douche bag started an argument with me and then called support to have my chat suspended, are you fucking kidding me? Who does that? Notice they left out what he said in the e-mail knowing full well he was as out of line as I was. Why would this site want him to represent them if they are trying to clean up their image? And get my chat suspended wtf, he can turn my chat off if he doesn't like what I'm saying but he runs to daddy and tells? What a little bitch.
This is even more interesting to me because when he is on the radio he seems like a good guy. So my question is, is the real Hollywood Dave the chill guy on radio or the douche bag that plays on Ultimate bet? Maybe he is just one of those guys who decides to talk tough on the internet because there are no consciences.

I find it interesting that you only put things that were said on my end in this email. You failed to mention that "Hollywood Dave" instigated this entire conversation and was completely out of line once again. If you would look back at the dialog you would see that he first berated my play then called me an "action junkie", I defended myself and I get a chat suspension? This must be some kind of joke. Your so called professional "Hollywood Dave" is known for berating players on your site, which you are either unaware of or you don't care. It is just simply stunning to me that you would back someone like that, who is clearly making your site look bad. I am a regular in your omaha games and have played with "Hollywood Dave" many times and almost every session he either berates someones play or gets in an argument. I am an icon member on your site but if this favoritism continues I will spend my time and money elsewhere.
