I just couldn’t get through the night without being called a ‘fucking bitch’. It wasn’t even in high limit and it was my last game of the night. I’ve dealt to this guy a lot of times over the years and I don’t know his name. If I had to give him a name, it would be Dim Wad. You can figure that one out.

He’s never friendly with anyone, always acts like he’s being hunted…he skulks in and skulks out. He obviously needs stress and anger management, and appears to be suspicious of everyone around him.

I dealt to him on Tuesday night in a friendly little $4-$8 Holdem game. He was the only ‘unfriendly’ at the table.

When I sat down in the game, the 3s was walking. I gave a Missed Blind and No Player button to the stack of chips. Two guys walked up together, one of them took the player’s chair and the other one sat behind him. The sweater told the player to put in the blind and not throw his hand away because he already paid for it and to give me the two buttons.

Another player objected that the Sweater couldn’t say anything…actually she had a fit…and didn’t want the sweater talking because it was the Sweater’s seat.

I had to go through the process of explaining our house policy of one player to a hand and not to visit while the hand was in progress. And I also asked if the chips belonged to the Sweater. He said, “Yes.”

Just before I left the down, the Sweater took a walk. When the next dealer arrived, I explained to the dealer that he had to give a No Player button to the 3s, even though the chips were in play.

The 3s had no idea what was going on and since I was going on break, I took the time to walk over and explain to him that he could still play but his friend would have to take possession of the chips in 15 minutes or he would be picked up. At that time I asked the dealer to give another No Player button because one had been returned to me when I was dealing.

The 3s had no problem with any of it, but Dim Wad was in the 9s and he went off on me, “What’s important is that the seat is filled. It doesn’t matter who’s playing the chips.”

I said, “The rule was made to keep players from list hopping.”

“You should just stay out of it. All that matters is the seat is filled for the other players in the game.”

I said, “Why don’t you take it up with the Poker Room Manager. Perhaps he will change the rule for you.”

“If your supervisor knew what you were doing…”

I motioned to Kamell, he was about 15 feet away at the Page Desk, “Why don’t you go talk to him about it. He might explain it in a manner that you’ll understand.”

I walked away at that point…no arguing with Dim.

So tonight Dim was in my last game, another $4-$8, new faces all around, they came to gamble, showing hands that were kind of sickening if you were trying to beat them with A-K. Just the kind of people I want to play cards with. One hand the board was 10-J-5-2-J. 7-2 was a big hand here, after all the guy had Jacks and Deuces and he won the pot. Love it!

Well…poor Dim. He called himself off of about $120 and when he got the last hand he played beat by 8-9 because his opponent made two pair on the Turn and River, his cards did the ‘overhand, slam, splat’ into the muck as he stood up.

I demanded, “Just set your cards down!” as I looked right at him.

He snorted, “Fucking bitch…” and grabbed the remainder of his chips as he headed out the door.

I yelled, “I want a decision now!”

Andrea was standing a few feet away and I pointed at his retreating figure and said to her, “On him!”

She called Jim R., Graveyard Supervisor, and Jim went after Dim and spoke to him.

Dim got a lot dimmer in my book.

But he’s not the only one that lost a little luster tonight. Some of the boys that you’ve been watching on the WPT, Wednesday night, were playing a Pot Limit Holdem game on Table 2. Mark S. and Jeremy T. both crushed up cards tonight because they didn’t win the pot…both of them got warned and Jeremy ended up being told to leave after he made rude comments to the dealer.

They don’t behave like that on TV so what the hell do they think is going on here? Oh…that’s right, they’re stars now. Maybe they think the poker world has never seen anything like them?

Ha…haaaa…hahaha…belly laugh starting here….gasp, hahahahahahaha!!!
