"he and I really didn't even have a heated exchange."

Maybe those quiet guys who are silently stewing are the guys to watch out for. And it seems to me that the guys who try to pull angles all the time, as you described this guy, might be prime suspects.

I'm usually one of the first guys to try to be funny or make a joke out of things, but I was really despressed reading your post. Thankful you're OK, but what an ugly thing to read and think about. Your mentioning of a gun or knife makes me think that, with the influx of new players in cardrooms it is, unfortunately, only a matter of time before a gun or knife does indeed come into play. What passes for security where I play, one of the biggest cardrooms (if not the biggest) in the world, is virtually non-existent. Snakehead and I have privately discussed one player in particular who we feel is borderline (or worse) psychotic and how likely it might be that something very bad happens one day with him involved.
