What good is that? How are you gonna prove it when you get back and half your stack is gone? Is there usually a system in place whereby you have the dealer confirm it before you step out?

The only way u can prove it is by askin the casino to go over the CCTV.

Yeah that is gutsy. I am willing to bet he has done that before. Im sure he didnt have much time to sit there and think about what he was gonna do and how he was gonna do it. He seen the opportunity and it worked before so why not now.

Haha what a greedy douche.... Like a few extra chips would actually make THAT much difference in the outcome of his tournament.. Good thing he got caught. This makes me wonder how many players have gotten away with this type of behavior in the past; Or if this particular baseball cap has gotten away with similar actions... People these days...

Why, would he think that he could get away with stealing someone else's chips? Seriously, your at a casino in a tournament that costs $1,000 to buy in to, and you don't think that someone or a camera is watching you. Also, is it really worth the risk, you paid $1,000 to buy-in to this tournament and you think that you should risk that and try to steal chips.

That's pretty stupid, but I thought there was always someone watching over the tables, either a dealer or someone else. I guess not. He had what he deserved.

Poker is a game of thinking ahead. Making plays with an idea of what to do on the turn if he calls/raises/etc.

This was one play where he did not think ahead. Moron.

You should always count your chips before a break or color up in a tournament so that when you return you will know if some chips are missing.:eek:

honesty

Most poker players are honest when it comes down to doing things in a cash game or tournament. Their integrity is only in question when playing a hand: are they bluffing or spinning a tale as what they have. It is like camping. When you camp you leave all your gear at the camp site and hike, swim, or whatever, and trust everything to be there when you return. The same is true at a poker break, especially with the cameras and dealer still present. Makes no sense to steal a few chips and risk your buy-in. Maybe, even jail time!!:mad:

Thanks! Well, that might explain why the good folks at FT snubbed him once again from the Fantasy picks. Thang Luu was alltime O8 winner until Clements surpassed him this year.

If ur even more curious about this altercation with the dealer in '09....

Thang Luu was in a hand with another player, and I guess the dealer thought that Luu mucked his hand, and the dealer went to grab Luu's cards.

BAMMM! Thang smashed his fist onto the dealers hand and said something like "dont touch my cards" or something, well, the dealers hand broke or fractured and seriously wounded him/her.

Pretty evil person, even if the dealer did that to me, id be in shock and probably be a little sad/angry i didnt control my cards better but I wouldnt hit/swear at them. Actually truthfully id probably say HOLY FU*K or something but it wouldnt be directed at a dealer who i dont even know, i just dont roll like that.

But when O8 is your primary game you kinda have to be a little bat shit crazy.

Just because they caught this one does not mean someone else has done it and gotten away with it.
