My buddy dropped a bomb on this kid for tonight's game, he follows him since he is from Massachusetts

Of course I had to put the bet in for him since he is banned for life from the local
casino 😂😂😂

Very interesting, I'll be tuning in to the game, rooting for him.

I guess I shouldn't ask, okay to ignore, but in a nutshell what the yell did he do? I don't know of anyone who got banned. Not pay his markers?

My buddy is a 6'2 300 pound dude, I've known him since we were kids, he has slowed down his drinking and is doing well however for a long time he would crush vodka drinks and hydrate with Coors lights or drink roughly 30 Coors lights when he wanted to give the vodka "A break" he gets loud and boisterous and if you didn't know him some guys might get a little intimidated lol, I'm close with him and he really isn't as tough as he acts or presents himself it's just appearance but he does have a switch that flips and he gets a little out of control, I've had some pretty good arguments with him at my home poker games but I'm not afraid of him and that solves 99% of the problem so it doesn't get stupid lol

The local casino where we all go he would get shattered and be himself, loud and obnoxious, the security guys were all afraid of him lol, they progressively let him get more and more crazy in there and didn't want to deal with him so they let a lot slide which was a bad move on their part but like I said he is a 300 pound dude and they literally were afraid of him.

Well one night he got into an argument with a player at the poker table and grabbed his chips and smashed them into the auto shuffler and broke it, hence the lifetime ban, I wasn't there to see what happened but that's it in a nutshell

Apparently those auto shuffler are like 5k or something idk

That's him Thanksgiving night a couple years ago 😂😂😂

Oh chit. That explains it. Geez.

I used to play in a neighborhood poker game that had a player such as that. Tough guy, used to be in the Coast Guard. He used to try and intimidate me at the table when we first began playing together. However he quickly learned that wasn't going to happen. We actually became friends. But he was a poor poker player, and easy pickins. I think he just enjoyed our company at the table. Didn't seem to care much about losing his money.

True story as he told it. One time out at sea, he and his close friend, both in the Coast Guard, boarded a ship, full of drugs. Long story short, one of the vermin pulls a gun and shoots his close friend who died from the wound. The poker player drew his gun, shot and killed the vermin. But to the day he died, the poker player mourned that he didn't draw his gun quicker to save his buddy's life. He used to bring a full bottle of Ouzo to the game, give all the players a shot, and then he'd consume the entire bottle. Sometimes he'd go back to his car, grab another bottle, and do the same. He wasn't shy talking about that he drowned himself in liquor trying to erase the memory of that fateful day, blaming himself. We all told him many times it wasn't his fault, and he didn't mind us saying that. But still he always said that he should have reacted quicker. The sad news is one day the police found him dead in his apartment. Very likely from alcohol poisoning although his Mom didn't want to disclose the cause of death. I'm guessing he couldn't have been more than 35 years old. RIP old friend.

That is an awful story

Very sad to hear
